| − | '''Matthew''' |
+ | '''Matthew''' is a playable character in ''[[Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade]]''. He first joins Lyn as an enigmatic thief, and is later revealed to be a spy for [[Ostia]]. He was in a relationship with [[Leila]] before her death at the hands of [[Jaffar]]. |
| − | |||
| − | In ''[[Fire Emblem Heroes]]'', he is voiced by Souichirou Hoshi in the Japanese version and Ben Diskin in the English version. |

+ | Matthew's life before his employment with the [[Lycia]]n House [[Ostia]] is unknown. Soon after his employment, however, he began a relationship with fellow [[Thief|spy]] [[Leila]] and had a good working relationship with his [[lord]], [[Hector]]. He also has a history with the [[Myrmidon]] [[Guy]], having saved him from starvation once. |
| + | ===Lyn's Story=== |
||
| − | Matthew is first seen in Chapter 6: [[Blood of Pride]], where he spectates the battle in a residential house in [[Araphen]]. In an unfortunate set of circumstances (which he twists to his advantage), he is visited by the [[Sacae]]n lord [[Lyn]], and quickly unites with her forces to pilfer from the enemy side and Araphen's treasuries. At the end of the chapter, he becomes a permanent addition, though to a minimal chagrin from few. |
||
| + | Matthew is first seen in [[Blood of Pride|Chapter 6]], where he spies on the group's battle in a residential house in [[Araphen]]. When he is unexpectedly visited by [[Lyn]], Matthew turns this turn of events to his advantage by offering to serve as a thief pilfering from the enemy's treasuries. |
||
| − | + | Later, if Matthew were to visit the house to the southwest in [[Siblings Abroad|Chapter 7]], he will furnish Hector with a report that [[Lundgren]]'s motives are far too ambitious and could be a threat to Ostia if left unchecked. |
|
| − | + | In [[Vortex of Strategy|Chapter 8]], Matthew temporarily leaves the group to gather intelligence from the surrounding [[village]]s. He returns with grim news: Lundgren has petitioned for aid to dispose Lyn and her "traitorous" group of knights. Lyn thanks Matthew for this advice and they push forward to [[Caelin]]. |
|
| + | After Lundgren is defeated and Lyn seizes control of Caelin, Matthew mysteriously disappears without a word. |
||
| − | At the end of Lyn's Story, he mysteriously disappears, an enigmatic past left in his wake. |
||
| + | ===Eliwood and Hector’s Story=== |
||
| − | In Eliwood's Story and Hector's Story, Matthew returns, his allegiance with Ostia no longer a secret. He greets the [[Tactician (character)|Tactician]] warmly, admitting his true colors. He then joins Eliwood in his quest to search for the missing Marquess [[Pherae]]: Lord [[Elbert]]. |
||
| + | A year later, Matthew's allegiance with Ostia is no longer a secret. In [[Another Journey|Chapter 11H]], he joins Hector in his attempt to slip out of Castle Ostia to rendezvous with [[Eliwood]]. As they are about to depart, they are ambushed by a group of assassins deployed by the [[Black Fang]]. Together, the pair manage to defeat the assassins, thereafter succeeding in leaving the castle. |
||
| + | Matthew will meet [[Mark]] again in [[Birds of a Feather|Chapter 12]], where he reveals the truth of his identity as a spy in the service of Ostia. Alongside Hector, [[Oswin]] and [[Serra]], he then joins Eliwood on his quest to search for the missing Marquess [[Pherae]], Lord [[Elbert]]. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | Later in [[Noble Lady of Caelin|Chapter 15E/16H]], Matthew encounters Lyn again, where he very clumsily attempts to slip past her when she recognises him. He accidentally lets slip his identity as a spy and in an attempt to divert her attention from him, reminds her of the battle to retake Caelin at hand. |
||
| − | Matthew's final notable appearance in the game is in Chapter 18/19: [[The Dread Isle]], where he stumbles upon the mangled body of Leila. He gives her a proper burial, then rejoins the party, sardonically commenting that he was going to talk her out of the spying business and probably propose to her later, and silently swearing vengeance on Leila's murderer. |
||
| ⚫ | In [[Whereabouts Unknown|Chapter 16E/17H]], Matthew crosses paths with Leila, who had conscripted herself into the [[Black Fang]]. She passes on intelligence relating to [[Nergal]] and his [[morph]]s, as well as the status of Elbert and Darin. At this point, Matthew proposes to Leila in an impromptu fashion, and before she can respond, makes a quick departure. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | When the army reaches the [[Valor (location)|Dread Isle]] in [[The Dread Isle|Chapter 18E/19H]], they stumble upon the mangled body of Leila. Beset by grief, Matthew, in a display of self-restraint, quietly requests leave to give her a proper burial. Against Hector's protests, Matthew later rejoins the army when they enter battle with [[Uhai]], dedicating his continued persistence to Leila. |
||
| − | Despite this, it is unknown if he was alive during the War on Bern and if he was, how involved he was with the war. |
||
| ⚫ | When Nergal and his morphs are later defeated, Matthew resumes his service as a spy of Ostia, motivated by the memory of his beloved Leila. Depending on his supports, Matthew could come to develop feelings for Serra. Though not explicitly stated, Matthew is implied to marry Serra, her presence slowly easing the pain of losing Leila. |
||
| − | Alternatively, if Matthew dies before Chapter 19: [[The Dread Isle]], Hector regrets letting him die, but promises to continue on with his journey. When Leila dies, Hector promises to bring her body back to Lycia to be buried next to Matthew. |

+ | Matthew's demeanor is cheerful and optimistic at best, rarely ever set back by the situations at hand, no matter how dire they may be. Carrying an air of aloofness about him, he usually tends to give sarcastic responses veiled in faux joy to most threats and conversations thrown at him, with Hector and Oswin generally being on the receiving end of his smarminess. Despite this seemingly gung-ho attitude of Matthew, he is resolutely loyal to Hector, willing to go the extra mile to help shoulder any burdens that his lord may secretly be holding. |
| + | |||
| + | Matthew adopts a more serious and solemn attitude following Leila's death. This extends to him developing a hatred for the Black Fang, inducing him to react with excessive outrage when [[Jaffar]] confesses to murdering Leila. |

+ | As with all Thieves and Assassins, Matthew will easily cap [[Speed (stat)|Speed]] and also possesses slightly subpar [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] but good [[Luck]], but his Luck and Skill bases are rather low. Still, his potential in Speed and Luck is usually good enough that he is rarely put in danger from attacks, direct or otherwise. The biggest problem Matthew suffers from, like most units of this class, is [[Strength]] and, as he himself states in a support with [[Serra]], he "Does not get into brawls." He also promotes very late, as the [[Fell Contract]] is not available until [[Night of Farewells|Chapter 26xE/28xH]]. |

“Disguise yourself, get close to the enemy... I am familiar with these duties”
— Matthew talking to Legault in a support conversation
— Matthew talking to Legault in a support conversation
Matthew is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He first joins Lyn as an enigmatic thief, and is later revealed to be a spy for Ostia. He was in a relationship with Leila before her death at the hands of Jaffar.
Profile
Before The Blazing Blade
Matthew's life before his employment with the Lycian House Ostia is unknown. Soon after his employment, however, he began a relationship with fellow spy Leila and had a good working relationship with his lord, Hector. He also has a history with the Myrmidon Guy, having saved him from starvation once.
Lyn's Story
Matthew is first seen in Chapter 6, where he spies on the group's battle in a residential house in Araphen. When he is unexpectedly visited by Lyn, Matthew turns this turn of events to his advantage by offering to serve as a thief pilfering from the enemy's treasuries.
Later, if Matthew were to visit the house to the southwest in Chapter 7, he will furnish Hector with a report that Lundgren's motives are far too ambitious and could be a threat to Ostia if left unchecked.
In Chapter 8, Matthew temporarily leaves the group to gather intelligence from the surrounding villages. He returns with grim news: Lundgren has petitioned for aid to dispose Lyn and her "traitorous" group of knights. Lyn thanks Matthew for this advice and they push forward to Caelin.
After Lundgren is defeated and Lyn seizes control of Caelin, Matthew mysteriously disappears without a word.
Eliwood and Hector’s Story
A year later, Matthew's allegiance with Ostia is no longer a secret. In Chapter 11H, he joins Hector in his attempt to slip out of Castle Ostia to rendezvous with Eliwood. As they are about to depart, they are ambushed by a group of assassins deployed by the Black Fang. Together, the pair manage to defeat the assassins, thereafter succeeding in leaving the castle.
Matthew will meet Mark again in Chapter 12, where he reveals the truth of his identity as a spy in the service of Ostia. Alongside Hector, Oswin and Serra, he then joins Eliwood on his quest to search for the missing Marquess Pherae, Lord Elbert.
Later in Chapter 15E/16H, Matthew encounters Lyn again, where he very clumsily attempts to slip past her when she recognises him. He accidentally lets slip his identity as a spy and in an attempt to divert her attention from him, reminds her of the battle to retake Caelin at hand.
In Chapter 16E/17H, Matthew crosses paths with Leila, who had conscripted herself into the Black Fang. She passes on intelligence relating to Nergal and his morphs, as well as the status of Elbert and Darin. At this point, Matthew proposes to Leila in an impromptu fashion, and before she can respond, makes a quick departure.
When the army reaches the Dread Isle in Chapter 18E/19H, they stumble upon the mangled body of Leila. Beset by grief, Matthew, in a display of self-restraint, quietly requests leave to give her a proper burial. Against Hector's protests, Matthew later rejoins the army when they enter battle with Uhai, dedicating his continued persistence to Leila.
When Nergal and his morphs are later defeated, Matthew resumes his service as a spy of Ostia, motivated by the memory of his beloved Leila. Depending on his supports, Matthew could come to develop feelings for Serra. Though not explicitly stated, Matthew is implied to marry Serra, her presence slowly easing the pain of losing Leila.
Personality
Matthew's demeanor is cheerful and optimistic at best, rarely ever set back by the situations at hand, no matter how dire they may be. Carrying an air of aloofness about him, he usually tends to give sarcastic responses veiled in faux joy to most threats and conversations thrown at him, with Hector and Oswin generally being on the receiving end of his smarminess. Despite this seemingly gung-ho attitude of Matthew, he is resolutely loyal to Hector, willing to go the extra mile to help shoulder any burdens that his lord may secretly be holding.
Matthew adopts a more serious and solemn attitude following Leila's death. This extends to him developing a hatred for the Black Fang, inducing him to react with excessive outrage when Jaffar confesses to murdering Leila.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

As with all Thieves and Assassins, Matthew will easily cap Speed and also possesses slightly subpar Skill but good Luck, but his Luck and Skill bases are rather low. Still, his potential in Speed and Luck is usually good enough that he is rarely put in danger from attacks, direct or otherwise. The biggest problem Matthew suffers from, like most units of this class, is Strength and, as he himself states in a support with Serra, he "Does not get into brawls." He also promotes very late, as the Fell Contract is not available until Chapter 26xE/28xH.

- Matthew: My injuries? Well...that's where we have a problem.
- Lyn: What? What is it?
- Matthew: It's my hand. It's been injured pretty badly. I don't think I'll be of much use...
- Lyn: Really... It's that bad?
- Matthew: Unfortunately, yes. That's my only wound, though. But a thief who can't use his hands? I'm fired, right?
- Lyn: What do you want to do?

- Matthew: What are you talking about? Look at this eerie place, this thick fog ... This is exactly why you brought me with you.
- Hector: Yet ...
- Matthew: If Leila ... If Leila knew I was shirking my duties, she would never have forgiven me. I'm fine. I will work twice as hard for Ostia in her honor.
- Hector: I understand ... I'm counting on you!
- Matthew: As well you should, my lord! Tell me, Leila ... This is what you'd want, right? You wouldn't want me to give up. I'll mourn for you when our battle is won. I must fulfill my duty. So rest ... I promise I will take care of everything.
