"He's just kind of clueless. He doesn't understand me."
―Nate Wright about his father
Dad

Martin Earl "Marty" Wright known to his children as "Dad", is the father of Nate and Ellen.

He is known to be a non-skilled golfsman, and uses Nate as his caddy, often requesting him to fish out his played golf-balls, and occasionally his club as well, from the course's pond and frequently embarrassing him. He is renowned throughout Nate's town for giving out disgusting (according to the trick-or-treaters) Halloween "treats" such as rice cakes and prunes (apart from one year where he forgot to purchase any candy at all) and baking terrible food (his yogurt pie in Big Nate:. Whenever his children, Ellen and Nate, request him to purchase a pet (a cat for Ellen or a dog for Nate) he always refuses. One time, his dad found a cat under their porch and took her in until someone claimed the cat. He once chaperoned on Nate's Timber Scouts camping trip, but ended up wrecking the experience for everyone after being sprayed by a skunk. He married Sara Wright. He is the assistant Coach for Nate's baseball team,which for some reason always has some humiliating names from humiliating sponsors. 

Biography

Marty Wright was born to Vern and Marge Wright in 1971 (he mentions being 40 years old in "Big Nate: Out Loud"). Little is known about his childhood, though in sixth grade, Marty Wright's homeroom teacher was Ms. Brodie. At an unknown time and occasion, Marty married Sara Wright, only for them to divorce soon after. However, this did not happen before giving birth to Ellen in 1998 and Nate in 2000. Marty tries to be a good parent to his children, although Nate seems to hate him to some degree.
