Season Two

Dr. Martin is first seen at the Mystic Grill with his son, Luka. He introduces himself to Bonnie, who is also a warlock. Jonas begins asking Bonnie questions about her family, and if they originated from Salem, Massachusetts. Bonnie becomes suspicious of the Martins, and soon discovers they are male witches. Untrusting of the Martin Warlocks, Bonnie bewitches Luka and forces him to tell her why they are working with vampires. Bonnie then discovers that Jonas's daughter, Greta, was kidnapped by Elijah’s brother, Klaus, who has been forcing generations of witches into breaking his curse, without the use of a doppelgänger. Jonas becomes enraged and strips Bonnie of her powers as a punishment.

In The House Guest, Jonas discovers that Elijah was killed by the Salvatore’s, and sends Luka to revive him. Later that night, Dr. Martin enchants a spell that sends Luka in an astral projection form to resurrect Elijah, but is sadly killed by Damon Salvatore during the mission. Full of anger and grief, Jonas plots a vendetta against Elena and attacks her in the grill injuring many people including Matt Donovan but Elena escapes.

After the grill he went to the Gilbert's House and tried to kill her again in the bathroom but this time it was actually Katherine who bite him and presumably killed him. However, Jonas manages to survive and leap up after his attack, grabbing Bonnie so Stefan Salvatore rushes over and breaks his neck.It is later revealed, when Jonas grabbed Bonnie, he was only returning her powers and telling her how to kill Klaus.

In the episode Klaus, it was revealed that Greta was actually willingly working for Klaus and that she didn't care about her duty as a witch.
