Addie's abusive father whom her mother left when she was young. After the apocalypse, he returned to "protect" his family in Sumpter, isolating Addie and Jennifer from all besides his gang.

## History

### Pre-Campaign

Matthew Greene was born in 2038 in Georgia. He was born to Ethan Greene, and had two sisters.

In 2059, while in college, he met Jennifer Kirkland, a fellow student. The two began dating shortly after. With the help of Matthew's parents, the two were later able to afford a house in the suburbs. In 2063, Jennifer married Matthew, and became pregnant with his child. It was then that he began asserting levels of control over her, promising it was for her safety and the safety of their child.

On August 26, 2064, Jennifer gave birth to Addeline Ryan Kirkland. Matthew insisted on the name, overriding Jennifer's wish for Ryan. Jennifer's mother fought him to get her middle name to Jennifer's preference, and Matthew relented reluctantly.

The abuse escalated over years, becoming physical over time, It hit a breaking point in 2072, after Addie witnessed her dad beat her mom and stepped between. Jennifer left Matthew shortly after the incident, with the help of her parents. A lengthy court battle followed, which Jennifer won due to the aid from her parents and Matthew's own family. A restraining order was held against him, and he never stepped foot in Oregon.

In February of 2080, Matthew was drafted into the Confederate army.

In June of 2083, Matthew made his way to Oregon, soldiers from his squadron in tow. He swiftly took control of Sumpter, seeking out his ex-wife and daughter and forced out all other residents of the town.

In April of 2088, a Templar by the name of River Mortem ambushed a group of Matthew's gang and killed a handful of them. Addie, who had been with the group, followed the Templar out of town.

In April of 2089, Addie returned to Sumpter, this time with 3 other Templars, including River, and went to work taking out the Silver Stars. Knowing it was a losing fight, Matthew fled the town before Addie could confront him, escaping with his core group of loyalists while many others were killed.

### Arc 9: The Goat, the Witch, and the Warden

In early 2096, Matthew put plans into motion that would ally the Wrecking Crew alongside the Combine and Anti-Templars. In May, he began stepping up attacks around Boise, attempting to destabilize the Templars' home base.

In the second week of May, one of Matthew's captains, Jaxon Kowalski reported in to him directly.

On May 12th, Matthew was overseeing his people at Moscow's college campus when he received word his daughter had been captured, and was being offered up to him by a former member of the Las Vegas Motorcycle Club. The same man had also seemingly destroyed the vampire that had thrown a wrench in his plans. He swiftly saw him welcomed in, and had him escorted to his office. The man introduced himself as Red, and he presented Addie to him, her hands tied behind her back and her sword left behind. Red told Matthew he'd gotten the jump at her at the Templars' funeral ceremony in Boise. Matthew thanked him for destroying his enemy and returning his child, and offered him anything in return, mentioning he had room for a new lieutenant.

While discussing terms, Addie summons up her magic and breaks free of her bonds. Red reveals his true loyalties as he stands and shoots both of Matthew's cyborg guards in the head. Addie immediately darted toward Greene, and he responded by activating his cybernetic arm and shooting her in the shoulder with a shotgun shell from his hand. Addie lost very little momentum, vaulting his desk and grappling him. She snapped the robotic arm while Red took control of the intercom and announced across the campus that the attack had started.

Unable to move from Addie's grip, Matthew used his other arm to pull the pin on a grenade and lobbed it toward Red. He shot green in his arm, picked up the grenade, and smashed through the office's window to toss it into the field outside. Addie swiftly snapped Matthew's other arm, and the pain finally set in. He struggled to escape again, and in response, Addie slammed his head against his desk, then proceeded to slam her boot on his leg, shattering it. Addie told Red she could handle herself and watched him run off toward Walker outside.

Addie threw a gag in his mouth, slung Greene over her shoulders, and made her way down the stairs outside, incapacitating a Silver Star along the way.

After a recently arrived Anne's helicopter was thrown on top of her in the scuffle outside, Addie ran over to dig her out of the rubble. While she wrestled with restraining the woman, Matthew yelled obscenities about her mother, causing her to throw him to the ground and pushed his face into the dirt with her boot.

He was transported in the group's tank away from Moscow and to Rexburg to be shown to the witch Cassandra Harely. During the ride, Addie took away Matthew's pain with her magic, though not his injuries. She was satisfied he would no longer interfere with her plans, and her deal with the NW6 proceeded as agreed.

Addie later broke off from her group, River remaining at her side, and pulled Matthew into the middle of an open field. He taunted her, saying she either had the guts to kill him or she didn't, and the fact that she couldn't stand to let him keep his pain wasn't a good sign for her. Addie told him she wasn't going to make it quick, and pulled out the coffin she'd been dragging around for the trip. She revealed that she planned to bury him alive, causing him to break his composure in fear. As she threw him in the container, he frantically admitted to her her mother was alive, and told her she'd need his help to find her. Addie didn't believe him, and shut him away. She kicked the coffin into the earth and buried him alive. Matthew struggled for a few hours before he was killed by a lack of oxygen.

Addie took his corpse to Junkyard to collect his bounty, burned his body as best she could, mixed his ashes with horse manure, and dropped them in the middle of the Sam's Orchard deadland.
