Man In Blue (Original)

Matthew Erdagovern was the original Man in Blue.
Little is known about the man himself, but he is a very significant man in the History of the Colormen. A scholar of the time period, he is believed to be responsible for having Sodor accept ideas that other Western World countries of the time rejected, such as the concept of Zero, the idea that scientific advances shouldn't be hindered by church beliefs, and Mercury should not be used as medicine. He was the first colorman to be accepted by The Prism, and helped establish the Great Hall of the Colormen, a building that serves as the headquarters for the Colormen. He died when he was 98 years old, and on his deathbed he declared "Pro datri seg mola, quis dem welna, siy trenwa." The meaning of this declaration is unknown, for it is in a language that simply does not exist, even to the Colormen
==Trivia==
* He was the eldest of nine children. Rumors persisted for a long time that his three sisters became the first Woman In Yellow, Woman in Gray and Woman in Lavender. This was only recently confirmed by the discovery of The Colorwomen Scroll.
* His artifact was the only one given to him by the spirit of the prism directly; all other artifacts were forged by craftsman within the first generation of colormen
*According to one journal entry, He supposedly created a cart that allowed him to "Go from the mountain to the castle and back, without horse or ox." Given that oil has never been discovered on Sodor, and the steam engine would not e invented for hundreds more years, it is currently unknown if this cart ever existed, and if it did, how it worked.
