Biography
Previous Events
His arrival in Steinau goes back centuries ago, when he attacked the town and fed every night of the deepest fears of the people. They asked for help to make it out of there, then a knight in elegant armor who wielded a gleaming sword would agree to expel it if they offered him an immense fortune in gold. What that foreigner did not know would only bring more calamities if they obeyed him to take vigor towards the monster, in doing so, the stranger from distant lands would take the opportunity to flee with the booty, leaving the population in the claws of the enraged Mart, after having provoked it (believing he would go find another place).
Las Leyendas
We're introduced to this supernatural monstrosity when Leo lays down to sleep after the crew found themselves in a town inhabited by sleep-deprived people. Leo soon finds out why they're so sleep-deprived when the Nicht Mart stabs its fingers into his head and forces him to dream horrible nightmares. The only way to fight back against it is to not be afraid of it, causing it to flee to another town. Thanks to Don Andres actions during his life, however, the Nicht Mart refuses to leave the town it settled in and continues feeding on their fear every night for generations until its defeated.
He is not named at any point in the series after having been defeated years ago, when Quetzalcoatl plotted to take over the world, requesting the collaboration of several legendary monsters at his disposal. Despite his absence, he is referenced in a statue, kept in the vault of Don Andrés' descendants, commemorating his blatant acts of cowardice (including his escape from Steinau by stealing gold from the villagers and leaving them captive on the Mart). When Don Andrés, with his team and Marcela's were caught by the demigod Anansi, he made him see an illusion of his worst fear: The Nicht Mart appearing turned into a windmill.
