## Early Life

Mathias Bernard Dial was born on November 10, 1891, in the city of Dallas, to Wilhelm Dial (1867–1911) and Mary Tarkington (1868–1921). He was the eldest sibling of Holden Dial (1891–1968) and Clara Dial (1892–1985). Mathias grew up in a troubled household, as his father was an abusive alcoholic who frequently engaged in criminal activities, including extortion and murder. Despite the difficult circumstances, Mathias managed to complete his education and eventually became involved in organized crime himself, rising through the ranks to become a prominent figure in the underworld. He was known for his ruthless tactics and willingness to do whatever it took to maintain his power and influence. However, Mathias's criminal empire eventually crumbled when he was arrested and sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in a high-profile murder case. Despite his downfall, Mathias remains a fascinating figure in the history of organized crime. Mathias has always loved his father; he admired his father's ability to rise to the top of the criminal underworld and establish a vast network of loyal followers.

In 1899, Mathias' father, Wilhelm Dial, was arrested and sentenced to life in prison for his involvement with the Anarchist Order. Mathias was left alone and struggled to make ends meet without his father's support. He vowed to follow in his father's footsteps and become a member of the Anarchist Order, and he quickly rose through the ranks due to his determination and intelligence. Despite his father's incarceration, Mathias remained committed to the anarchist cause and continued to participate in illegal activities. He was eventually recruited by a prominent member of the organization who recognized his potential as a leader. Mathias quickly proved himself to be a skilled strategist and was soon put in charge of planning and executing high-profile attacks against government targets. His notoriety grew, and he became one of the most wanted criminals in the country. He visited his father in prison regularly, seeking his advice and guidance, and his father was proud of his son's dedication to the cause. Mathias mother and brother died in a car accident, which he suspected was orchestrated by President Lawrence Blackwood.

In 1932, Mathias Dial murdered Lawrence Blackwood, his wife Christine, and their son Mitchell. It was called the Blackwood Massacre, and it remains one of the most horrific crimes in the town's history. Mathias was on the run for 232 days. During his first day on the run, Mathias stole a car and went to Dr. Maximus Wolfe's house, a known criminal who creates fake identities. Mathias paid Dr. Wolfe to create a new identity for him, but Dr. Wolfe double-crossed him and reported him to the police. Mathias narrowly escaped and spent the next several months moving from place to place, always staying one step ahead of the authorities. He met a woman named Lena Kozlovsky who helps criminals like him start new lives, and with her assistance, Mathias was almost able to assume a new identity and leave his past behind. However, the IGI managed to track him down to a remote cabin in the woods. He was arrested and taken into custody, but not before he managed to send a message to Lena, warning her of the danger. The trial was long and gruelling, but eventually he was found guilty of his crimes and sentenced to life in prison. This brought some closure to the community of Terranova, but the memory of the Blackwood family still lingers to this day.

On December 3, 1934, Mathias had his last meal and was executed by lethal injection. His death marked the end of a dark chapter in Terranova's history, but the scars left by his actions will never fully heal.
