Martinus
NPCs
A character name associated with early prerelease material for Crimson Desert. In older developer-supplied material from 2019, the game's protagonist was identified as Macduff, son of Martinus. Later prerelease material shifted to using the name Kliff instead. It is unclear how much of the older naming and family background remains unchanged in the final version.
