Brief Character History

Martin Richardson is the son of Ted Richardson and Nicole Dupree, as well as the grandson of Vernon Dupree, civil rights activist and former U.S. Senator. Martin grew up with his sister, Katherine “Kat” Richardson, and their cousin, Andre Richardson, whose parents had been killed in a plane crash. Martin admired his grandfather so much that he went into politics himself, becoming a congressman.

An openly gay man, Martin went on to marry Bradley “Smitty” Smith, and, in 2015, they adopted two children, Tyrell and Samantha. Martin professed himself as “secretive and moody” at 17 as teenager Tyrell had become, though Martin blew off Smitty's concern when the nightmares Martin had been experiencing on and off for years came back. Martin heard gunshots in his dreams, but disagreed with Smitty that he was dealing with suppressed memories.
