Martin Lynch (Alternity)

Martin William Lynch, better known as just Martin is the son of William and Martha Lynch, husband of Jenny Lynch, and father of Peter, Simon, and Benjamin Lynch. On June 6, 1997, he and Jenny had just finished watching the morning news and cleaning up after their breakfast when assassin Andrew Striker's bullet struck down nine year-old Simon, an autistic, in his own room and killed him. Martin and Jenny's grief was deep and unmistakable, and neither of them could truly come to terms that Simon, their last child, was dead, even as his body was removed from their home, and lowered into his grave a week later. To outward appearances, Martin seemed surprisingly calm and collected during this time, but wanted so many times to cry with his wife, who constantly wept for over a week.
