Matt

# **About**

Matt is a Civil-War survivor and a previous soldier of the Novelian Army under James Hamburger, who ran away from the base after his squad was abandoned by higher ups and their base was attacked by infected during the Civil-War. He survived through the Civil-War with mostly Jarred however had to go on his own when he died.

Matt's background remains largely unknown however during a conversation with Matt and Jarred, Matt opened up about his experience in the military and explained that he only joined the army around 8 months prior. Matt has also explained that he was teached by his grandfather on how to use guns as his father had left and his mother was working non stop.

# **Personality**

Matt doesn't talk much and is quite introverted. He likes to be and work by himself however in some situations he realizes he needs help to continue. His quiet nature is possibly due to his past. Despite attempting to seem like he doesn't care much, he still protected Jarred multiple times and valued him a lot as his friend throughout the Civil-War.

# **Civil-War**

His squad was attacked by infected from small villages around near Tebeck and most were killed by Cribers. Matt fled to Tebeck to find a working radio after the one at his base was destroyed. He met Jarred who had been attempted to fix a radio and helped him out. They contacted a larger base and were told to head towards Union and they take off in Jarred's truck.

Matt helps Jarred after he gets lured into a warehouse by signs making it seem like there were survivors alive. The people inside makes Jarred fight random infected as a sort of game. Matt explodes a bomb outside which alerts all nearby infected who proceed to attack everyone inside. They both fight their way out of the place and escape in a gassed up car.

They get to the outskirts of Union only to turn around and continue towards Agane City instead as they get paranoid about how many infected are in the city.

After a long drive without much issue, they enter the city area of Agane City and has to continue on foot inside the city to continue onto the highway. They enter from the sewers but are hindered by a blockade and they have to go through a building and out onto the streets. On the streets they find a dead survivor and a note asking the reader to "Find his vehicle", which he had hidden.

They continue and fight through large amounts of infected and Jarred gets scratched in the eye, parly blinding him. They end up finding the vehicle which turns out to be a heavily armoured van, however it is attached to a crane and far up. They find the crane's control panel in some rubble somehow still working. Matt holds down the lever as Jarred fights off the horde. They then get it down and flee in it.

Their progress is halted by a roadblock and they decide to go through a tower to the top. At the top they are rescued by military in a helicopter but the pilot was infected and they crash into the outskirts of Agane City. They make their way to an underground train station where they quickly make their way through the tunnels to get to an evacuation. Jarred is infected along the way while holding back the infected and Matt escapes on a train to Goldencity.
