History:

(Daredevil II#83) - The secretary of Warden Cole at Ryker’s Island, Marta grew defensive when her boss yelled at her for delivering the news that Matt Murdock had returned to his cell from the funeral for Foggy Nelson.

(Daredevil II#86) - Warden Cole and Marta were walking through Ryker’s when Murdock suddenly leapt out at them and knocked down two inmates with arms. Murdock explained that a riot was planned and that they’d been there to kill Cole. Murdock encouraged Cole to get somewhere safe and call for help, with only guards he trusted. He made it to a safe place and had Captain Roberts call for aid while they reviewed the riot, many having been killed. Cole cursed Drummond for his manipulations, but Marta reminded him they were lucky to be alive.

(Daredevil II#87 (fb)) - Cole watched with Marta and Roberts, as the Punisher seemingly took Murdock hostage and escaped in the riot squad helicopter. He authorized Roberts, who supported the action, to delete all other video footage that showed Murdock as anything but a blind man, then asked Marta to contact her reporter friend.
