− | After Odessa's death, the party was entrusted with finding a man named [[Mathiu]] at [[Seika]]. As they arrive at Seika, they ask a man for the whereabouts of Mathiu, with the man pointing to a nearby house. The party approaches the house and does not find Mathiu inside it, but instead children who tell them Mathiu went outside for a walk. After leaving the house, the party encounters the man once more and Viktor deduces him as Mathiu. Tir presents Odessa's earring to Mathiu, who sternly refuses it and calls her a fool before going back to his house. The party follows him once more into his house, only to receive the same answer. They leave the area and ponder how to convince Mathiu until a group of Imperial soldiers rush to his house. They watch as the Imperial soldiers try to cajole Mathiu into serving the Imperial army once more under the orders of [[Kasim Hazil]]. Mathiu refuses and calls himself a recluse as the Imperial soldiers continue to press upon him, using one of his students against him. Tir and the party aid Mathiu and defeat the Imperial soldiers, saving Mathiu and the children. |

− | Following the battle, Mathiu entreats the party to a conversation wherein he reveals himself as Odessa's brother. Cleo wonders aloud why Mathiu reacted so cruelly towards her, with the latter stating that he refused found wars and senseless killing abject while his sister fought eagerly for her beliefs. He then asks Cleo how Odessa described him, with Cleo stating that she specifically described as "just as a man in Seika named Mathiu." This leads Mathiu to conclude that Odessa never forgave him for discarding his prowess and being a coward. Mathiu tells the party of the awful sight he witnessed during his time in the prior war, watching friend and foe die alike. He was so very eager and willing to forget the image, even to the point of having his sister reject him, but Mathiu has an epiphany and comes to the conclusion that even abiding by the doing of nothing won't stop the terrors of war, hence he decides to follow in his sister's footsteps to succeed her dream. |

Mathiu reveals to Tir that Odessa gave him the earring because she saw something in Tir and him to meet her brother and lead the Liberation Army. Tir accepts Odessa's legacy and Mathiu happily avails himself to Tir's cause, stating that they needed volunteers that were dissatisfied with the Empire's rule. |

Biography
Succession War
Mathiu is a talented military surgeon who is the nephew of Leon Silverberg and brother of Odessa Silverberg. He started his career as military strategist early by serving under Kasim Hazil during the Succession War. After that, he served under his uncle, Leon Silverberg, as Vice-Strategist and reluctantly followed through with the Kalekka Incident. However, he resigned from his position following the incident and spent a few years in the Grasslands. After that, he became a tutor for children at the rural village of Seika. There, he acquired Shu and Apple as his pupils (Although Shu was later expelled for using his knowledge for selfish motives).
Gate Rune Wars (Suikoden)
After the death of Odessa Silverberg, Tir McDohl asked Mathiu to help the Liberation movement, but Mathiu initially declined. However, when Kasim Hazil sent soldiers to force Mathiu back into his service, Mathiu decided to join with the Liberation Army. Mathiu used his tactical genius to bring the Toran Liberation Army to victory, but also allowed Jowston forces composed of Tinto and South Window armies to occupy the Senan Area, forcing the new Toran Republic to war against Jowston immediately after its formation. Mathiu was mortally wounded during the siege on the floating fortress of Shasarazade due to the betrayal of Sanchez and died shortly after the liberation of Gregminster, in SY 457.
