=== Pre-Games ===
Matty is one of the least-seen tributes prior to the 98th Games, as he is not a major threat and keeps to himself in Training. He is mentioned once by his mentor, Simon Chung, in a conversation with Verity MacIntyre, but he is practically unknown by all the other characters. Matty is mostly overshadowed by his District partner, Verity, and her famous intelligence.
Matty's Training score is revealed to be an 2, making him one of the weakest tributes. His score puts him on par with Karla Hayes and Twila Pollard, and he only scores better than Devin Molina.
===The Games===
====The Bloodbath====
The Games begin as the tributes are lifted into the air in a hovercraft. The tributes then must fight over twenty-three parachutes as the floor of the hovercraft opens beneath them. Matty is unable to grab a bag; the last bag is picked up by Verity MacIntyre, Matty's District partner, but Verity throws the back to her ally, Ashlyn Ramsey. Matty attempts to tackle Ashlyn for the bag, but he in unsuccessful. When the floor of the hovercraft opens, Matty is sent plummeting to his death. It is assumed that Matty died upon impact with the ground and was the first tribute to die in the 98th Games.
===Post-Death===
Immediately following Matty's death, he is remembered for how gruesome his death was. Many tributes comment in Sapphire Tears that they felt that Matty's death was the cruelest. However, due to his lack of relevance in the Games Matty was quickly forgotten by the other tributes.
