Matthis

Matthis is a playable character in _______, _______, and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.

Background & History
Matthis is the brother of Lena, who has an acute distaste for war and violence. He was forced into joining the Gra army, after being threatened with death upon his refusal. He is later recruited into Marth's forces by his sister during battle and fights with them.

During the second book, Matthis's sister is kidnapped by Gharnef to help revive Madesus. He originally disapproved of Julian's feelings for his sister, seeing Julian as only a thief and believing that his sister could do much better. During the second book he can be recruited by Julian who wants to help him save his sister. Although reluctant Matthis joins with Julian and is eventually convinced of Julian's good character after traveling with him for a second time.

Stats
Matthis is often discounted in the games he appears in as inferior to other Cavilers, and having inferior growths. This is often stated to be a misconception by some fans of him however, who train him with success. It has also been suggested by his fans that he does well in many of the Class Change possibilites he has in Shadow Dragon.

Trivia

 * A running gag among fans of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon consists of how Matthis will attack his sister as an enemy before being recruited, and that right before the actual attack he will have a short dialogue about missing his sister, aparently not reconizing her, the attack would also usually kill Lena.
