Actor: Virgil Von Hartzel
Appearance: Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One #2.08 "A Rufus Carol"
== Early Life ==
As a child in South Africa, Matt's family didn't have much, but they always managed a Christmas feast with roast beef and gifts. Among the presents he received were books, toys, and a blue bicycle. He believed in Santa and loved the goodwill of his family and friends.
At age twenty-two-year-old, Matt had recently graduated from college and relocated from the rural lifestyle he grew up with to the big city. He worked in a law office as he saved up to go back to law school and become a social justice lawyer.
== Chosen One ==
Into this, Rufus Reginald Rochester arrived to tell Matt that he was the Chosen One. They clicked immediately. Matt was high personable, outgoing, and very warm, a perfect support for the man who hadn't yet done much field work and was nervous about being a mentor. Matt hadn't yet built a social circle in the new place, and so quickly latched onto Rufus, too. And when Matt tried to make other friends, Rufus convinced him it wasn't a good idea, as having friends put them in danger, so Matt relied heavily on Rufus for his much-needed social interaction. Rufus gave Matt a warm, comfy sweater for Christmas that he had made himself.
Matt didn't mean to distract Rufus, but he did, hanging out more than they trained. This turned out to be tragic when, after only a few months of working with Rufus, Matt faced Lazar, a hulking dinosaur of a creature who was meaner than just about anything.
Rufus told Matt to run and hide from Lazar, but Matt refused, determined to do his duty and refusing to let anyone down. Lazar killed Matt easily.
== Afterlife ==
Matt's ghost appeared to Rufus as part of a plot by the U.L.P. to dredge up guilt. Matt was kinder than the other ghosts, singing of forgiveness. He forgave Rufus when his former mentor expressed true regret and a desire to make up for it ("A Rufus Carol").
