Paul-Henri Perle Obsidienne Martin (born 14 April 1997) is a Fravi online personality and livestreamer. Martin produces a variety of content, most notably video game related streams where he plays with his friends and other content creators. Due to his collaboration with other streamers, his channel saw an increase in popularity beginning in 2018, and he is currently the most followed and viewed streamer in Fravina.
He is the son of former Vice President Jean Martin and a member of the Martin family.
Early Life
Paul-Henri Martin was born on 14 April 1997 in Port de Sang, Fravina, to then legislator Jean Martin and Asami Takahasi.
From 2013 to 2014, Martin took a year-long tour around Seylos accompanied by his oldest brother Louis. There, he developed "a love for Seylosian culture and people," as well as developing a taste for Seylosian film and architecture. After this trip, he studied at Université Nationale de Port de Sang, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture in June 2019, as well as minoring in Music and Mathematics.
Online Career
Martin began livestreaming part-time on 15 July 2016. On 5 September 2019, he dedicated himself to streaming full-time as a career.
While he remained in relative obscurity in 2017, he managed to grow a modest following. In 2018, his channel saw rapid growth due to his collaborations with many other popular content creators, and by late 2019 has grown into the most followed and viewed streamer in Fravina.
Martin considers himself a variety streamer. He streams content relating to video games, cooking, architecture, and many other topics. Some examples of his content include taking Anglish classes, teaching piano to viewers, and reacting to popular films and television shows.
In May 2021, Martin took a week-long hiatus from streaming after breaking up with his long-term boyfriend. He took another hiatus that year from August 2021 to December 2021 following his family's deaths in the 2021 Martin car accident. His first stream following this hiatus was on 24 December 2021 - 25 December 2021, and was a 24-hour charity live stream to raise funds for the International Red Cross. Martin permanently returned to streaming on 7 March 2022.
In May 2022, it was leaked that the Fravi government was allegedly in the process of granting Martin an internet visa to stream globally. This visa was granted in January 2023 but remains unused by Martin.
New Blimps for a New Age
During the Fravi government's 2019 New Blimps for a New Age campaign, Martin publicly criticized the initiative on stream, stating, "...we should be less focused on blimps and more focused on improving our exisiting infrastructure." His comments led to a drastic decline in the usage of blimps in the nation, forcing the government to end the campaign in early 2020. An anonymous government employee cited Paul-Henri Martin as one of the reasons for its end.
Many fans of Martin viewed him as solely responsible for the program's end. Some fans even drew fanart of Martin setting fire to blimps or throwing bricks at them, which have become running jokes on his streams and among his audience.
Musical Career
On 19 February 2022, Martin released the avant-garde album "Quand les vers volent" (Anglish: When the Worms Fly). According to fellow streamer Étoilante, Martin told her that the album was a metaphor for overcoming his grief following the 2021 Martin car crash.

Legal Issues
Alleged arson
In February 2019, Marielle Manaudou, an ex-girlfriend of Martin, filed a police report alleging that Martin burned her house down. After a two month-long investigation, Fravina police dropped the case. In a public statement, detective Jean-Claude Barber said, "Manadou's claims hold no substance," and that she would be investigated for filing a false report and wasting police resources.
The decision of the police has been scrutinized by the general public. Newspapers such as Voix du Nord called it, "nepotism at its finest," while an op-ed by Eunice Jordana in the Rose Window wondered, "Is this decision a just one, or is it simply another case of Martin influence interfering with the rule of law?".
Brick-throwing incident
Following allegations of arson in 2019, Martin was caught throwing bricks through the windows of the new house of ex-girlfriend Mariella Manaudou. Police apprehended him for 3 days. After it was announced that the Martin family would pay for all damages to the house, the police released him from custody.
Crimes against fashion
In January 2020, Galahinda issued an arrest warrant for Martin for crimes against fashion for his, "overzealous use of a jean jacket and jeans combo, of which no human being should be subjected to." Fravina refuses to extradite him to Galahinda. Talking about the warrant in a June 2023 stream, Martin claimed, "I completely forgot about that," and that his fashion sense has, "gotten a lot better. Denim is ugly, really ugly."
Personal Life
Martin currently resides in Port de Barbier, Fravina, moving from Port de Sang in 2021.
Martin was in a long-term relationship from 2014 to 2019. He got into another relationship in 2020, but after he and his boyfriend broke up in 2021, he took a week-long hiatus from streaming. Currenty, Martin is allegedly close to Princess Margaret Redmond of Seylos, with some news outlets reporting the two as dating. However, this rumor has remained unaddressed by both parties, and its validity is unknown.
In August 2020, he accidentally came out as pansexual on stream. Later that year, in September 2020, he released an official coming out video on his channel. This video was met with widespread support throughout his fanbase, even with lesbian Vice President Adelie Grasse releasing a statement supporting Martin.
In the 2021 Martin car accident, Martin was in the vehicle with his parents and his 4 siblings. His parents and all his brothers later died from causes relating to the crash on 5 August 2021. Martin, his sister Cecilé, and his niece Danielle were the only survivors of the accident. However, Cecilé commited suicide 6 days later from apparent depression caused by the deaths. Due to the death of his brother Louis Martin in this accident, Paul-Henri Martin was granted temporary custody of his niece, Danielle Martin, until permanent custody was granted to family friend Jacob Dupont in mid-September 2021.
Martin has stated on stream that he has been attending therapy since graduating in 2019. He has recommended taking therapy to his viewers, calling it, "a lovely experience."
