==Background==
===Childhood (1699 - 1711)===
Born to a wealthy Dutch banker, Matthias was raised in the town of Volendam. Matthias was born in 1699 to Peter and Helena Bakker, who pampered him with their excessive wealth. The nicest clothes, food, and education were given to Matthias. The young child never had to deal with conflict in his life, and spent much of his time exploring the wilderness outside of his home, and fishing with his brother Jacobo. 
Unfortunately, a measles outbreak killed everyone in Matthias's family, save his father. The boy was grief-stricken, and turned bitter until he reached adulthood. It took Matthias many years to overcome the grief that accompanied his mother, brother, and grandparents' deaths, and it remained a very sensitive topic for an otherwise sturdy man.
===Adolescence (1711 - 1720)===
Matthias and his father stayed in the same town, in the same home. They both were visibly damaged by the massive loss in their family, and endured as best as they could. Matthias still fished and explored, while Peter continued to run the bank. 
At the age of thirteen, Matthias was brought along to work for his family's bank. The idea of counting out currency was a punishment worse than death to Matthias. The teenaged protege was the most mathematically challenged banker in the United Provinces. However, he just went along with the monotonous work that came along with his father's business. Matthias always knew he was destined for something unbridled compared to banking.
