Martin Gladstone was a Shadowhunter and a professor at the old Scholomance.
History[]
Gladstone was a professor at the Scholomance and a member of the Cohort.
In 2012, he attended the funerals for those who died during the Council meeting with Annabel Blackthorn, one of the victims being his distant cousin, then residing Inquisitor Robert Lightwood, whose mother was a Gladstone. When the corpses of Robert and the young Livvy Blackthorn were brought to the Fields, Gladstone went up to the latter's brother Julian to offer up some form of his condolences.
After the funeral, he and Zara Dearborn, whose father and their leader Horace had just been voted in as the new Inquisitor, returned to the Scholomance. Around this time, the student Diego Rosales and his friends were hiding the faerie prince and Hunter Kieran in the school, but Zara caught onto his presence. Gladstone was also aware of Dearborn having sent Julian and Emma on a suicide mission to Faerie.
When Samantha Larkspear fell into the pool in the Hollow Place, Gladstone found and confronted Diego and Kieran and confined them to the library, later witnessing Kieran escaping the library on his steed. He soon returned to Idris to continue serving Dearborn. At a meeting to further bolster Dearborn's platform, Gladstone brought in Samantha to falsely present her as Kieran's victim.
Gladstone was among the guards who attended the the staged parley between the Cohort and the new King of the Unseelie Court, Oban, and his army. When Emma and Julian turned into the gigantic true Nephilim, he tried to rally the Cohort and called for the Blackthorns to be corralled in response to Emma and Julian's rampage. Before they could put the plan into action, Julian easily snapped his neck, killing him.[1]
