Description
Mattheu might be the youngest of the Rivenshari, but he is definitely the biggest one of bunch. His large frame with hard muscles and well-worn hands that have seen many fights. His thoughtful mocha eyes burn with banked rage that's let loose when he's fighting. Easy to smile, and just as easy to anger, his facial expressions change with his mood. Unlike his brother, he prefers to keep his hair short, out of the way. With a thin layer of well groomed facial hair, or on a rare occasion cleanly shaved. There are quite a few scars on his body made a few lucky shots.
Personality
Mattheu might be the muscle for his eccentric family, but that doesn't mean that he's stupid. Sometimes he will play the part of the meat shield but only until he gets what he wants and then uses that information against his opponents. A ladies' man, he is enjoying what Arx has to offer, letting his brother and sister worry about alliances. He has no intention of settling down anytime soon. While his devil may care attitude might anger some of the stuffy Valardins, underneath he is fiercely loyal and will destroy anyone that messes with his house.
Background
The youngest of the Rivenshari brood, Mattheu was always called the 'baby' of the family, until he grew big enough and strong enough to beat his brothers for calling him 'tiny'. As a child he was quick to anger, the boy got into fights left and right, and his stubborn attitude made it impossible for him to back down. Only Eshra or his mother, Triega, could sooth the angry beast inside when he was in full temper. As he's grown older escape is found in a violin which was once of his mother's. When the world becomes too much, Mattheu takes to the violin, bringing songs that he will always see as happy yet are said to bring tears to others with a mournful cry.
Growing up among ravashari smugglers, his family traveled the rivers and sea bringing goods to other Abandoned Tribes. He acted as one of the crew as soon as he could man the ropes. Being a sailor just comes naturally. As he grew into his body, he soon had himself a girl in every port, resisting any hints from his family to settle down. The adventures that he and Athaur had before his brother lost sight of who he was were something to be spoken with a baleful laugh. They were always gambling, flirting and getting into trouble together. Mattheu would learn how to dance and sprint into acrobatics in play with his siblings, something that he would later use when at port to gain some coin as a Ravashari entertainer. Always quick with a smile that could light up the entire river, or ready to pop into a fight if his family were to be insulted.
Mattheu followed his remaining siblings in taking knee to Greenmarch and the Oathlanders that the Rivenshari once played a delicate game of cat and mouse with after the Silent War. Seeking to watch over Riva and the rivers, as he now helps Athaur and his older sister, Eshra, navigate the dangerous political waters of Arx, acting as their enforcer or charmer, depending on what skill is needed.
