Aliases Matty (by Sarita & Walter) Gender Male Hair Color Black Eye Color Black Age Mid 30s Occupation Unknown Family Walter - Boyfriend Ethnicity Asian american At first, it is unsure if Matthew is a trustworthy individual. However, he seems to be a friendly and generous person. According to him, he has seen many groups pass by his bridge. When he meets Clementine and Luke, he offers them food and supplies at his cabin. However, Nick, believing his friends are in danger, shoots and kills Matthew. It's later revealed that Matthew was indeed a good person, and was part of Kenny's group. His boyfriend Walter, speaks highly of Matthew and becomes saddened and also angered when he figures out he is dead, and can determinately allow Nick to be killed by walkers as revenge. Almost nothing is known about Matthew's life prior to or as the outbreak began. However, judging by a photo of him and Walter at the ski lodge while it was functioning and Walter's words, they had met before the apocalypse. He and Walter frequently vacationed at the ski lodge they were found staying at. Little is known about Matthew's life after the outbreak, but it is known that he and Walter found the lodge a few weeks before Kenny and Sarita did. Walter commented later on that he and Matthew had not known what to do with the ski lodge before Kenny and Sarita arrived, saying that both of them had "been a huge help" in fortifying the lodge into what it was when Clementine and the rest of the cabin group reached the ski lodge later on. Walter also commented that Matthew always being nice to the strangers, and that although he knew the danger in such behavior, he continued to be friendly with all people who he met. Sarita noted that Matthew and Walter were nice people, and even though they knew how dangerous it was to be nice to strangers, they could not change their perspective.

While staying at the lodge, Matthew frequently ventured down towards the bridge to retreat to the cabin there. He spent most of the daytime there, keeping a chest full of food and a book collection within. He also saw it his job to monitor the bridge whenever people tried to pass. His outings did not worry Sarita and Kenny though Walter expressed some concern in how dangerous it could be due to him being alone. He was not put off by such and continued to watch (in his words) "the [numerous] dazed and confused" cross the bridge daily.
