He is confident, serious, disciplined, cold, straightforward, calm, and unnoticed.
Strict and implacable toward evil. He views demons—and Abaddon in particular—as absolute evil that must be destroyed at any cost. When he discovers his son is possessed by a demon, he resolutely undertakes the exorcism, even willing to risk himself to save his child. Decisive and uncompromising. He doesn't hesitate: he binds the demon, performs the ritual, intending to destroy the demonic entity. He places the goal of destroying Abaddon above all else.

He is selfless in his family. He has a wife and son, and he is willing to do anything for his son. The idea of a demon possessing a child likely evokes anger and a sense of duty in him: he perceives it as a personal mission—to bring his son back, to banish the evil.

He is a believer—not just in religion, but in the fact that there are things that matter: good and evil, morality, responsibility. He accepts responsibility, as a priest and a father, for his son's fate and for the exorcism of the demon. (While there is little direct evidence about the depth of his faith, his calling and actions imply a deep conviction of spiritual responsibility.)
Tragic Hero: His determination and duty turn tragic—he dies in an attempt to save his son, demonstrating that alongside his willpower and discipline lies a fear of losing everything, yet a willingness to sacrifice himself for what he believes is right.
Even though the demon Abaddon is in possession of his child's body, paternal instincts sometimes flash through him.

He lives with all the Freelings as a ghost. Unfortunately, he can't do anything to Abaddon, so he has to somehow come to terms with living with this damned demon that took his child.

The priest lived in Midwich, New York, in the 1700s and was an ordinary human priest, married and with a son. When the boy was nine years old, he was possessed by the demon Abaddon. The father attempted to exorcise the demon—he performed an exorcism on the site of what later became the hotel grounds (the future Undervale), bound the demon's body, and intended to destroy its essence. But Abaddon attacked the priest at the last moment, throwing him and himself off a cliff. The priest died, and the demon remained sealed in the boy's body for hundreds of years.

Matthias is dressed in a long, dark frock coat, tightly buttoned, with a stiff white collar that contrasts with the overall gloom. The collar is high, almost strangling. Around his neck is a massive cross hanging from a black thread. The cross is heavy, metallic, and worn, as if he has worn it for a long time and with devotion to God. The cross wasn't decorative, but rather a weapon, a reminder of sin and punishment.

A huge hole gaped in his stomach—deep, as if his flesh had rotted to the bone. The edges of the wound were jagged, as if split; dark blood oozed, congealing into bitter drops. This wound was a gift from the demon possessing his son, and a living remnant of how his body had been thrown off a steep cliff—down onto the sharp rocks, like a condemned fallen angel. The body was wounded, mutilated, but in the priest's eyes, there wasn't fear, but a bottomless emptiness: the demon hadn't simply killed flesh; it had killed light, hope, all life. It symbolized loss, emptiness, an inner pain that could never be healed. Matthias hands were long and bony, his fingers thin, with pointed nails, slightly curved like claws. The skin on his hands is pale, with a bluish tint, and the veins are visible, especially on his wrists. His fingers are often clenched into fists, as if he's holding back an inner rage.

His legs are clad in tight black trousers, tucked into tall, square-toed boots. The boots are old and cracked, but polished, as if he values order despite the general decay. He walks briskly, with a straight back and quick steps, as if he's always rushing toward a goal, guided by an inner voice.

Matthias is a priest with a dark, disturbing appearance, a combination of puritanical severity. His appearance is a visual symbol of inner conflict, pain, and fanaticism.
A dead priest. He was killed by a demon who possessed his son, vowing to find him, even in death. He's a priest from the 1700s, so he speaks formally and strictly follows his religion. He cared deeply about his son.
Matthias is tall and thin, with a long face and pale skin, as if faded by time. His features are sharp, almost sculpted: sharp cheekbones, a thin nose, and sunken cheeks. His eyes are wide, their gaze intense, as if he were in a constant state of anxiety or obsession. His gaze never blinks, as if he were not human, but a creature devoid of normal reflexes. His eyebrows are dark, thick, but well-groomed—they hang over his eyes, giving his face an expression of determination.

His hair is long, straight, raven-black, falling slightly tousled over his shoulders, as if he hasn't cared for his appearance in a long time. It frames his face, heightening its drama. On his head is a wide, flat-brimmed black hat, typical of the Puritan era, creating a sense of dogmatism and religious rigor. The hat fits tightly, as if pressed into his head, a symbol of ideological oppression.
