'If You Can Keep Your Head When All About Are Losing Theirs... Then You Truely Serve.'

Title: Rosinante Templar Master

Name: Matthew Nem'amer

Age: 55

Family: Before the Dark Wars Rosinante were taking from their birth families as young as possible so that they could be raised away from 'unfavourable influences'.  The records of the birth families were also often expunged to prevent the families from being traced by Renegades or others who would try and gain leverage over the Rosinante by threatening their blood relatives.  As such the Rosinante were and are the family of the members of their order.

Brief History: Master Matthew is an anomaly within the ranks of the Rosinante.  Despite being taken by the order at the time dictated by the Measure the conditioning of the Order more than slightly failed with Matthew, with him still questioning the Measure and the decisions of the Rosinante Council even after he became a Master.  However, he never acted in such a way that warranted him being proclaimed Renegade, often completing missions that were hazardous in the extreme with minimal casualties.  As such he was viewed with suspicion by many on the Council who could not comprehend that there was a different way of doing things to what was laid down in the guidelines of the Measure.

Current Situation: Rosinante Outlaw, member of the Rogues and guide of what is left of the Rosinante Council.  When the Measure failed so completely with Morgan Chandler actively using it to hobble the Rosinante's efforts to prevent him usurping the crown, it was ironically to Master Matthew that the survivors of the Order turned to find an alternative to the Measure.  He has spent the years since not only serving Vicereine Raquel but also trying to teach the Rosinante a level of independence that they have lost over a thousand years since the Measure was first put in place.

Personality: Peacemaker and Warrior.  He fights only when he has no other choice and would rather sacrifice himself than see another hurt.  Matthew would be the perfect one for brokering peace treaties, keeping calm when others are loosing themselves to the rage over old hurts.

Skills: Teacher, warrior, the leader who would rather not be.  Matthew tries to hold the calm in the centre of the storm.  When he has to fight, he doesn't fight as such but dances through the maelstrom of violence to find the point where he can cut it loose so that it dies; he is the first duellist the Rosinante have had in an age, moving with grace through the worst the galaxy can throw at him.
