'''Martin Colvin''' is a recurring character on [[TNT]]'s ''[[Snowpiercer (TV Series)|Snowpiercer]]''. He is portrayed by [[Stephen Lobo]].

== History ==
=== Background ===
Martin is a member of First Class. Secretly, he is also an informant for [[Melanie Cavill]], reporting on any tensions that might be significant.

== Throughout The Series ==
=== [[Season 1]] ===
In ''[[First, the Weather Changed]]'', Martin is seen eating breakfast with his family, [[York Lam|York]] and two of their sons. He greeted Melanie when she walked to their table. He tease [[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]] that she is not allowed to have better Cantonese than him when Melanie spoke to his husband. 

In ''[[Access Is Power]]'', Martin is seen gambling with [[York Lam|York]] in the [[1st Class Dining]]. 

In ''[[Justice Never Boarded]]'', Martin along with [[Eugenia]], [[Rajiv Sharma|Rajiv]], [[Robert Folger|Robert]] and [[Nolan Grey|Commander Grey]] discusses about how Melanie has too much power thanks to Mr. Wilford. He suddenly informs [[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]] about the discussion. 

In ''[[The Train Demanded Blood]]'', Martin provides the revolution with a gun in secret, not wanting the Folgers to take power.

=== [[Season 3]] ===
In ''[[The Tortoise and the Hare]]'', it's revealed that Martin became an inadvertent stowaway aboard the [[Pirate Train]] after falling asleep in his cabin when [[Andre Layton]] hijacked the first ten cars of ''[[Snowpiercer]]''. During the six months stranded aboard the train, he has served as the crew's chef. He later assists Miss Audrey in trying to force [[Alexandra Cavill]] to leave Layton, [[Bennett Knox]] and [[Josie Wellstead]] behind and reconnect with the rest of the train due to his concerns about their long-term survival, but [[Bess Till]] hits him over the head with a wrench and retakes the Engine.

Martin subsequently doesn't appear again on the Pirate Train, even after the crew has to disconnect four cars, leaving it unknown if Till killed him or knocked him out.
