Description of Martin Addison:

The class clown. He has floppy brown hair, has a gay brother who goes to college in DC, and plays Fagin in the school production of Oliver!. He is portrayed as a nerdy, entertaining, well-liked guy, with Simon referring to him as a sort of "mascot" for the popular kids. However, his darker aspects are revealed when he blackmails Simon into helping him attempt to found a romantic relationship with Abby after he discovers that Simon is gay. Martin believes Abby is interested in Simon romantically when he witnesses their platonic hug and impulsively discloses Simon's sexuality on "creeksecrets", a Shady Creek Tumblr page.
