Bio
Matthew Kensington has always been a little off. As a kid growing up in San Francisco, he was generally more interested in things than in people. In fact, he wanted to be a mad scientist when he grew up, and would spend whole days tinkering away with the tool kit his parents bought for him.
As he grew older, Matthew took to making and selling drugs and explosives to finance his hobbies. In the process of developing a career as a black market supplier, he also became more outgoing, and learned to fight. The Japanese occupation of the bay area was both good and bad for business- it put him at a lot of risk, but also kept prices high by keeping competition down. Ultimately, when a coalition of corporations, rebels and civil rights activists started pushing the Japs out, Matthew decided to support the home team- it was good for his popularity and his bottom line.
Things worked out for a while, but in the aftermath of the Japanese exit, more players entered the black market, fighting ensued, and Matt made too many enemies as he tried to protect his place in the drug and explosives market. He knew his days were numbered, so taking advantage of the government disorganization in the wake of the recent war, he had his SIN information corrupted, and himself declared presumed dead, and hired a rigger to smuggle him over to Seattle.
The newly christened Mattoon soon set up shop in Redmond, using his savings to resume his old business of producing drugs and explosives, and his hobbies of tinkering with anything he could get his hands on. In Seattle though, there were too many established players for him to easily develop a loyal customer base and make a living in the matter to which he was accustomed. Seeking to supplement his income, and have some excitement in the process, Mattoon started running the shadows as something of an all-rounder, providing his teammates with jury-rigged devices, explosives, first aid, drugs, and a more than decent gun hand.
