== Biography ==
=== Early Life and Conscription ===
Matthew was born on September 10, 2511, in the city of Gristol on the outer colony world of Nyrus. Growing up in a community that often faced hardship, Matthew learned early on the value of cooperation and resilience. 
From a young age, Matthew exhibited natural leadership qualities. He was often seen organising games and activities among his peers, displaying an innate ability to motivate and guide others. His teachers and community leaders noted his propensity for taking charge in group settings, often mediating conflicts and inspiring his peers to work together to achieve common goals.
in 2517, Matthew’s exceptional leadership skills and physical aptitude caught the attention of Dr Halsey’s team. After being identified as a potential candidate for the SPARTAN-II program, he was abducted and sent to the planet Reach; it was here that he was trained to be a soldier by Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and the Artificial Intelligence construct Déja. Despite the rigorous and often harsh conditions of Spartan training, Matthew quickly stood out for his ability to keep morale high among his fellow trainees. His innate talent for leadership became even more pronounced, and he often found himself in an unofficial mentorship role. 
Before long he was recognised as one of the top candidates from the program and was closely monitored by Dr Catherine Halsey. 
On March 9, 2525, Matthew and the other candidates underwent their augmentation procedures at Medical Facility Endurance orbiting Reach. After successfully enduring the augmentation procedures, Matthew and the remaining Spartans attended a military funeral aboard carrier UNSC Atlas in the Lambda Serpentis System for the Spartans who had died during the augmentation process. Afterwards, the Spartans returned to Reach for their final training phase in the highland mountains.

=== Initial Deployments and Combat Experience ===
Shortly after completing his training, Matthew-110 was deployed in covert operations against Insurrectionist forces. These early missions were crucial in transitioning from training to real-world combat scenarios. Matthew quickly distinguished himself in the field with his ability to analyse and adapt to rapidly changing combat situations. His decisions often turned the tide in close encounters, showcasing his tactical acumen and solidifying his reputation as a capable leader.
=== Commanding Fireteam Wolf ===
Matthew’s leadership skills were rewarded with an official role as he was given command of Fireteam Wolf. At its peak, it comprised of six interchanging members, each Spartan in the team bringing a unique set of skills, honed to perfection, contributing to the unit’s lethal efficiency. Matthew was adept at harnessing those skills and getting the best out of those he served with, fostering a sense of unity and purpose in doing so. 
=== Operation: Silent Sabre ===
Silent Sabre was a covert operation aimed at disrupting insurrectionist supply lines. Matthew led Fireteam Wolf in a night-time infiltration of a key mining facility, vital for the insurrections material resources. 
Prior to the mission, Matthew had meticulously planned the stealth approach, minimising civilian involvement and ensuring zero casualties among his team. His strategy involved synchronised attacks on multiple targets within the facility, leading to its successful neutralisation without alerting nearby insurrectionist forces.
=== Battle of Eridanus Secundus ===
With the UNSC stepping up their assault on known insurrection strongholds, Fireteam Wolf was assigned to siege and destroy a Insurrection stronghold in the Eridanus system.
The battle involved a frontal assault on one of the most fortified and secure insurrectionist bases, with an aim of dismantling key leadership within the prominent faction. 
Matthew-110 spearheaded the initial assault, breaking through the stronghold’s defences. He demonstrated remarkable frontline combat skills and leadership whilst under heavy fire, leading his team deep into enemy territory and capturing key insurrectionist leaders. 
=== Operation: Azure Dawn ===
Azure Dawn was a rescue operation involving a captured UNSC frigate near the human world of Galatia. 
The mission was deemed high-risk as it involved the rescue of several high ranking UNSC officers who’d been taken hostage aboard the captured vessel. Following this, Matthew-110 and Fireteam Wolf were assigned to carry out the operation with Matthew operating as both planner and executor.
Matthew devised a plan that would involve sending a feigned distress signal from a decoy ship, suggesting that the ship was heavily damaged and vulnerable, not far from the captured frigate’s location. The signal drew the attention of the insurrectionists believing they had an opportunity to capture another UNSC vessel. Whilst they were distracted, Matthew led a covert boarding team onto the captured ship, making use suppressed weapons and EMP devices to pass through the ship’s defences. The team were able to quietly eliminate the hostile forces onboard using precise, coordinated strikes and managed to secure the hostages.
This operation showcased not only Matthew’s tactical ingenuity but also his deep understanding of UNSC and Insurrectionist tactics. Following this mission Matthew was awarded with The Colonial Cross for extraordinary heroism and outstanding leadership in operation against an armed enemy.
