Character Biography
Martin was one of five aliens from the planet P3O-255. Though their technology was advanced, the people were unable to properly fight against the Goa'uld. Martin and the rest of his ship's crew were under orders to travel to Earth and seek help from the Tau'ri. When they arrived, they discovered Earth was not as advanced as their own culture. The crew decided to desert and hide on Earth. They hid their ship further in the solar system and crashed in Montana using an escape pod.
Martin eventually realized that deserting their people was wrong and tried to convince the others to return. He was not able to convince the others, but, realizing Martin was now a liability, they drugged him with an alien pharmaceutical that made him forget his long term memory. They kept his home under surveillance and ensured he continued to remain oblivious about his alien origins. One of his shipmates posed as his psychiatrist, Dr. Peter Tanner, and continued to prescribe him various drugs laced with the memory-loss chemical.
Martin fought against the drugs. A side effect caused him to become paranoid, and he became obsessed with conspiracy theories such as a secret government, CIA microwave harrassment, and lizard people. During one of his searches on the internet, he came across talk of a Stargate project. Somehow, he was able to garner up enough information to know about Colonel O'Neill and the project's location in Cheyenne Mountain. Martin telephoned the SGC with his knowledge. He also believed he wasn't just interested in outer space, he was "from outer space."
O'Neill met him at the Montana diner Martin specified, with the rest of SG-1 conducting surveillance. While O'Neill kept Martin occupied, searching for his spaceship, Teal'c, Daniel Jackson, and Samantha Carter searched Martin's home. From their search, they believed Martin to just be conspiracy addled harmless kook, but they take samples of his numerous medications to be tested. Bob, Ted, and another of Martin's alien shipmates caught SG-1's investigation from their camera surveillance.
A Montana lab forwarded the results of Martin's medications to Dr. Fraiser, who found traces of an unknown alien chemical present in several of his prescriptions. Armed with this knowledge, Daniel and Sam visited Dr. Tanner, while Martin approached Jack about his evidence there were intruders in his home. Martin also gave Jack a Stargate address he remembered in his dreams. With this Stargate address and now Daniel and Sam missing, Jack began to suspect there was truth behind Martin's insistence he was an alien. In any case, Martin Lloyd was the only lead to find Sam and Daniel.
O'Neill and "Murray", the pseudonym used for Teal'c, would not allow Martin to take any more of his medication, so Martin's memory was spottily returning. He was finally able to correctly lead them to the site of his ship's escape pod, and remembered it was rigged to notify the others if anyone tampered with it. Martin nervously allowed himself to be used as bait to lead O'Neill's men to where the other alien fugitives were holding Sam and Daniel.
