Matthew Constantine

Matthew Constantine is an infamous Junior Legionnaire with the rank of Brigadier General known as the Stray, a name branded upon him by the Emperor's Shadow Cabinet. It is a name that speaks to the fact no one in the Legion truly feels as if Matthew is among them.

He is the only known Legionnaire to have ever been demoted from Major General, furthermore he is also a former #1 ranked Legionnaire. At present he possesses the rank of #11 and states he is simply waiting for the Legion to kick him out for his inactivity. The Shadow Cabinet are shameful of Matthew but despite his political approval, he has a high approval rating among fellow Legionnaires, which is only helped by his skills as an Instructor Legionnaire for Class Constantine (Golden Tiger).

Personality
Matthew can come across as a bum and useless but from conversations with him it is very apparent that he is extremely intelligent. What ruined Matt was a lack of passion, in his eyes the Legion betrayed the values it had set out and it ruined all the drive he had.

History and Backstory
Matthew was scouted from the rebel forces of his home nation and brought to Valour to be a Legionnaire at a young age. From there he quickly rose through the ranks and became a Legionnaire Hero. However according to Matthew he saw the Legion veer it's ugly head, a power hungry superpower who cared little for the safety of its people and instead vied for the protection of the elite. For Matthew, Legionnaires were simple nothing but pawns on a chessboard played by the Emperor and his "lackeys" (The Shadow Cabinet).

The straw that broke the camels back was when he, the current number 1 at the time and the youngest ever at that (24) refused to head on an expedition into Purgatory which saw Ragnar Bolton lead 100 Legionnaires to their death in pursuit of a Dead Ancestor. Since then, Matthew has slowly but surely distanced himself away from the Legion but is still seen as a cult hero by the Legionnaires.
