​

Personality:
​

Charming- Trained in the arts of diplomacy and persuasion, Matthias is an incredibly charming man, often able to win complete strangers to his side. Hell, he could convince a man to give him the shirt of his back, and thank him for the pleasure.
​

Arrogant- In Matthias' mind he is always in the right, and anyone who disagrees with him is simply a dull bastard who needs a crossbow bolt up the ass. This can make him incredibly difficult to work with, and it seems to only grow worse with time. Perhaps there's a reason he always worked alone?
​

Sarcastic/Snarky- Matthias has a somewhat hostile kind of humor, generally offering snide remarks to his companions
​

Clever/Cunning- Surviving in a world that has wanted you dead doesn't leave one with a dull mind. Matthias is able to think quick on his feet, able to find unusual and occasionally unethical solutions to problems he faces.
​

Light-hearted- While a bit of an ass, Matthias can be a fairly light hearted individual, able to crack jokes and keep his cool in the thick of battle and keep his fellows calm as well
​

Ruthless- At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is Matthias' own goals, and he will do anything to achieve them. 
​

Family first- The most important thing to Matthias is to protect his last surviving kin, his little sister Ellia El'Johnson. He will do any and everything to protect his sister, and gods protect the fool who would stand in his way
​

Distrustful- Doesn't give his trust to others easily, if ever
​
