Martha is an employee of Havendark Factory in Newcago. She oversees children used for labor to build weapons for Enforcement at the Factory, including David Charleston and Roy.
History[edit]
David recalls Martha as being a benevolent person, despite the fact that she was charged with supervising child labor with some kids being as young as nine years old.[1][2] She ensured that the children had their basic needs met and did not allow violence between them;[1] she had a system of assigning older kids to be "adjuncts" who would help protect younger or weaker workers.[3] She saved the wages that they earned through their work and gave them to each child when they turned eighteen and were forced to leave Factory work.[1][4] She even offered counsel to the kids, and was among the people who warned David that his desire for vengeance on Steelheart was not healthy.[5]
David noted that Martha allowed the children to learn how to use the guns they were making, even though it was a violation of Factory policy. Several of the kids who worked for Martha used this knowledge to later join Enforcement, while David's knowledge of guns helped him as a member of the Reckoners.[1]
