Name:
Matthew Denson
Current age:
27
Age you got into prison:
23
Mental state:
Sane
Personality:
Matthew used to be a polite, reserved and intelligent boy. Although he maintains these traits, he has become accustomed to a certain lifestyle surrounded by violence, and so instead of focusing on education, he channels his leadership skills into the criminal life he lives in.
Summary of life:
Matthew's mother died giving birth to his younger sister Kate when he was just eight years old, and his father turned to alcoholism to cope with the loss. His father soon developed terminal cancer, unrelated to his alcoholic nature, and so, aged just fourteen, Matthew was compelled to help his father commit suicide through an overdose. Broken by his actions, his uncle took in him and his sister, but Matthew was unable to bare living with them knowing that he aided their father/brother to a quicker death. He was taken in by an older acquaintance of his, Eddie Spanner, who lived in a squat. To earn his keep, Matthew was asked to look after drugs, and soon to sell some. Over the years, he gradually earned Eddie's favour, and was asked to help do more dangerous jobs, such as armed robbery and aggravated assault. When he was nineteen, Eddie was arrested for the rape and subsequent murder of a young girl, Annie Rivers, which allowed Matthew the opportunity to take control of the squat. He became involved in a feud with a notorious drug dealer Barett Cole, who threatened to rape Kate. Unwilling to ever see these threats enacted, Matthew got hold of a gun and killed Barett and his entire family.
Whaddya did, ya sick bastard:
Matthew murdered the entire Cole family in a single mass murder attack, killing both parents, five of their six children including Barett, and a visiting cousin. He managed to frame one of Barett's acquaintances for the murders. Later, he stabbed one of his former friends to death after he informed the police on Matthew's actions. Matthew escaped the following police raid, shooting two officers dead, before fleeing to his uncle's house. He planned to go on the run, but when Kate revealed her disgust in his actions, he turned himself into the police. He also named himself guilty of all the crimes committed by his own friends, since he was facing life without parole any ways, including taking the blame for the rape and murder of Annie Rivers, freeing Eddie Spanner.
Turn on/offs:
Matthew doesn't enjoy killing people, but he does so when he feels backed into a corner. He doesn't take pleasure in delivering pain to people either, and sees violence as only to be used when necessary. This contrasts the various crimes he had been charged and sentenced for. Matthew does enjoy the feeling of being in power though, and this sometimes overrides his unwillingness to kill or resort to violence.
Appearance/picture:
Anything else:
When he first arrived in prison, he quickly made a name for himself by knocking out a man named the Kid Killer when he attempted to rape a woman called Naomi Tyler. After various threats from the man later, he was confronted by the Kid Killer in the showers which resulted in him being stabbed to death with a shiv by Matthew. He soon entered a sexual relationship with Naomi after the two became close, and they even share a cell.
