How long has Marty been with Bungie?I believe he's been with Bungie full-time since 1999, but did work on producing Myth II's soundtrack previously (so '97 to '98 too).
And does he actually have a part in "creating" the universe (establishing what is/is not canon)? I mean, I know he has to know the story in order to create the appropriate music, but does he actually come up with stuff, or just receive information from guys like Robt McLees, Staten and Jason Jones?Also I think he, along with everyone else at the studio, has a say in the direction the games could/should take, but I don't think he'd be considered a necessarily a canon-establisher; more of a "well, here's my take on it". Discussion is a good thang.
As a voiceover-director, I'd say he might have a say in fleshing out the characters. Most of the time, the way it tends to work in production is you have your writers and designers show the rest of their team what they're shooting for, often in detail, then having the rest of the team work on top of that, discussing and iterating along the way until everyone is happy with something.
