Matthew was born to a hooker in Chicago Illinois. His father could be any lonely scavenger who screwed his mother in that place, which means it is impossible to
identify his true father... although he was probably white and not a ghoul. His mother was a heavy drug-abuser and had to get her fix by prostitution. From a very young age, Matthew had to go through many trials, her mother was constantly abused and high on drugs, which reflected upon Matthew and his personality. His mother didn't even bother to name her child, and Matthew has raised very poorly, having to make up his own name from a poster hanging on a wall.

From a very young age, Matthew was a troublesome kid and was quickly affiliated with local raiders, who recruited him with the old baseball bat treatment. From as young as 16 years old, Matthew was already murdering and torturing people, though he was very much not a fan of drug-abuse. He did try drugs, but he never got into them as much as his drugged up raider comrades. After a few years he did feel a little out of place with the Raiders, but nevertheless stayed.

One day the de-facto leader of the Raiders was killed in combat against a scavenging party, and Mad Dog, was quickly raised to become the next leader, re-naming the gang the Mad Dog raiders. This didn't go on for long, as the last 5 members of his group were killed by a single scavenger, a woman wearing a gas mask, when they followed her into a Library. The Woman and Mad Dog came to a stand-off. None of them could approach one another without dying, and they stood there for minutes. Finally they started talking, questioning each others motives until the woman said a few key words. 'I have kids I have to look after for.'

Matthew had always had a soft spot for kids. Having being raised very poorly he experienced what it was like to have a shitty childhood. Matthew let woman go, not even shooting her in the back. With his gang dead and his old hideout now empty he first contemplated suicide... but them decided to push on. What else was there in life, but being a Raider.
