Mathews

Mathews was a male Human Starfleet crewman who lived during the mid-23rd century. He served in the operations division aboard the under Captain James T. Kirk diring the mid-2260s. 
In 2266, Mathews served as one of the ship's security guards, and was a late assignment to the landing party that arrived on the surface of Exo III. When Kirk and Chapel were beamed to the caverns of Exo III, their expectation was that Dr. would be waiting for them. After beaming down and not finding him waiting for them, Kirk requested a security team; the team consisted of Mathews and Rayburn. Mathews accompanied Kirk and Chapel as they probed deeper into the caverns. 
As Mathews was following behind Kirk and Chapel, he was murdered when he fell off a precipice in the outer junction, a death precipitously caused by the massive android Ruk. According to Dr. , Korby's assistant, the cavern into which Mathews fell was "bottomless". ()
