Martin Belkin

Martin Belkin was a world-renowned photographer who had been hired to take pictures of David Palmer on the day of the California Presidential Primary. He was a passenger on Flight 221 to Los Angeles, and he was seated beside Mandy, a hired mercenary. After engaging in conversation with Mandy, the two had a brief fling in the airplane's bathroom. It's assumed that she stole his ID while they were in the bathroom.

Later, as Belkin was sleeping, Mandy left her seat and changed into a jumpsuit with parachute in the area at the back of the plane. Belkin woke up and realized his wallet and ID were missing. He approached a flight attendant, who told him to return to his seat. Mandy used plastic explosives to blow open an emergency exit at the back of the plane. As she descended towards the ground, the plane exploded over the Mojave Desert. All passengers aboard the flight, including Belkin, were killed.

Belkin's ID would later be used by Ira Gaines's henchman Jonathan, who had plastic surgery to look exactly like Belkin.
