Scars or Tattoos: Small scar on his chin.
Portrayed By: Michael E. Knight
Personality
Basic Personality: Once commonly known as 'Tad the Cad', these days he's known more for being 'Tad the Dad'. His Casanova days may be over but Tad is still a charmer who loves his ladies--it's that most of those ladies are now under 2 feet tall.

History
Birthplace: Outside of Pine Valley, PA
Family: Jamie Martin (son), JR Chandler (Stepson), Kathy 'Kate' Martin (Daughter), Jennifer Colby Martin (Daughter), Krystal Martin (Wife), Jenny Gardener (sister/deceased), Ray Gardner (Biological Father/Deceased), Rob Gardner (Biological Uncle), Opal Cortlandt (Biological Mother), Ruth and Joe Martin (Adoptive parents), Jake and Jeff Martin (Adoptive Brothers), Petey Cortlandt (Half-brother)
Friends: Jesse and Angie Hubbard, Aidan Devane, Erica Kane
Romantic Connections: Former: Dixie Cooney-Martin, Liza Colby, Brooke English, Simone Torres. Current: Krystal Martin.
History: As a young boy, tad was abandoned by his abusive father in a park in Pine Valley. There he was found by Jeff Martin and his girlfriend and later taken in by Jeff's parents, Joe and Ruth. Ray Gardner returned to attempt to 'sell' Tad to the Martins and when they refused, he raped Ruth. Ray went to prison and Tad became a Martin legally. He was still a troubled and rebellious youth, running away for a time.
The next part of his life was filled with many trysts and adventures. This was also when he met Dixie Cooney and began his bitter rivalry with Adam Chandler. After rescuing Dixie from Adam who had had her committed, he helped Dixie to raise her son, JR.
Dixie and Tad had their ups and downs and several marriages. Tad also had a son with Brooke English. When Tad and Dixie were finally together for what seemed like the last time, Dixie wanted a child with him but Tad was concerned for her health so when Dixie found that she was pregnant, she left to go to Switzerland, with the assistance of David Hayward, to have the baby. She was presumably killed in a car accident.
Years later, Dixie returned to Pine Valley with news that her and Tad's daughter, Kate, was alive but lost thanks to Greg Madden. Desperate to find Kate, Tad expedited a plan which unintentionally killed Dr. Madden and left them no closer to finding Kate.
Not long after, and just as Dixie and Tad were rebuilding their relationship, Dixie was murdered by 'the satin slayer'. Tad was in a dark place, but he began to see hope again after finding out Krystal was pregnant with his child and then, by Dixie's grace, and a rare bit of good will on Adam's part, getting reunited with Kate, now called Kathy.
