Matthew

Watchman Matthew is a member of The Watch in the Upper City in Act Three. He attempts to flee High Hall's courtyard after it has been overrun by forces belonging to the Absolute.

Involvement

During the initial battle for High Hall, a large force of Absolutist cultists coming from the Upper City Sewers destroys the keep and routs the City Watch away from it, forcing what remains of the Watch to flee. Faced with severe casualties, the last remnants of the Watch are composed of  Fry,  Ebber,  Goodge,  Gyordi, Matthew, and  Preyn. A Mind Flayer kills Matthew and Preyn with a  Mind Blast as the Watchmen try to flee from High Hall, before being confronted with the party.
