C O N T E N T S           1 : Misconception           2 : Martin; The descent.           3 : Zoot; Redemption.           4 : Guardian; Chosen path..           5 : Gods and Monsters.           6 : Conc.; Evil beings. Zoot ; Now he began his life as somebody else, like the Guardian (See the similarity already?). And that someone else's name is Martin.     Martin is the total opposite of what he becomes, Zoot the evil leader of the Locusts. Martin is caring and gentle and leads a totally normal life; going to high school.     The seeds of his doom are sown when he saw Trudy for the first time... Martin falls for her in a BIG way and so he's damned.     See, his attraction to her is not returned, since Trudy has become smitten with Bray (Martin's brother. Fate's a sick master isn't it? Rather too fond of irony)... Try as he might Martin's never going to win her love from his brother and he knows it deep down.     This is the trigger which sends him down his descent into madness evil and eventually his death. Now comes Ebony who, like Trudy, falls for Bray but for all the wrong reasons. Ebony tries to tear Bray away from Trudy (I'll say one thing for Bray he has a bloody tragic animal magnetism!) she manipulates Martin and his feelings of rejection and his frustration at not being able to attract Trudy like Bray does and she does it all to get at Bray. -     And her plan works.     This causes Martin and Trudy to make love but only because of Trudy's half desire to hurt Bray. (Not blaming Trudy for that, she was going through rough times and in some ways she was worse of than Martin. It's the eps during season one where she puts Bray on the spot and in a really un-enviable position that ticks me off!!). In the end Martin and Bray's parents die of the virus and that's the final straw. For Martin it's the stick that breaks the camels back and he finally gives up hope. -     All that has happened to him, drives him mad and he becomes Zoot. ^ ^ ^ back to top email writer next page > > > pictures are from, and edited from, those belonging to (and released by) Cloud 9 (The Tribe) Ltd.
