He was first seen patching up Sam's leg, where he then sat down next to the campfire listening to her story about the Sun Queen and her Stormguard.

Life & Story
Mathias was a survivour just like Lara and ended up on the island for many years ago. It all started with that his plane crashed in the water near the island. He tried to escape by a boat with the survivors but an unknown wind brought an impossible wave and hit the boat with force towards the rocky shore. He survived but two others had fallen. He left the survivours and over the years he saw many other survivours that he avoided but if they got in his way he was not merciful.

In order to move forward and control the island, Mathias needed other people. So he gathered a small group of loyal followers and learned them about true power and to organize. After some time he came up with an plan, to unlock and control the island he and his members searched the island for clues and signs. When they searched the island, they finally discovered something; an ancient japanese empire...and a mysterious queen.

It was at this moment it all started. His patient was rewarded over the years and finally he had his lieutenants, enforcers and followers of the way. Over the years, the storms brought Mathias the men he needed to begin the building of the Solarian Brotherhood. He made the weak in will but strong in body whole again, he raised them and in return they would serve him and through him, they heared. The Sun Queen "showed" Mathias the way and he had faith. He knew that she was everywhere on the island. But he knew that the brotherhood needed more men and warriors. He recruited as many men and boys as possible and with them he dreft laws and created a code to them to live for. He was thinking that if his brotherhood took care of to build for the sun queen, he was searching for the key...they key to get off the bloody island and prison.

The solariian warriors of the sun grew in numbers and Mathias discovered everything he required to move his plans forward, he and his brotherhood moved inlands of the island. They moved high up in the mountains were the temple were located and there they could protect themselves from Oni Guardians. From there, Mathias had access to all points on the island swiftly. He had to capture anyone who came to his place, because now he knew what the key was. It could take years, but he would find her (the one).

The years passed and he became more insane. He heard whispers of the sun queen in the bed and she was urging him on. He saw her with her magnificent face with every sunrise, he thinked "Soon now...".
