Matthew Williams

History
Matthew James Williams birth was nothing special, born in December of 1982. His parents were hard workers who tried their best to give their son a good life. Matt never stood out in school, doing better than most, but nothing extraordinary. He managed to make it through College and med school, and entered the service as a lowly ensign. He quickly made head way as a surgeon, and the brass felt he needed to go on and do something more than stay safe at a US Navel base, and so ordered him to something that was about to start. He was going to support ground troops for the war that was to liberate Iraq from Saddam.

Matthew James has seen alot in his time. He was a combat medic, serving up near the front lines for marines and other people who did the real fighting. He saw the remains of men who threw themselves on grenades to save their brothers, and patched up more than he liked to think about who were on the wrong end of the anger of those they were trying to help. His discharge helped brought little comfort to him, but he did feel he was helping more as a ER surgeon than he did out on the battlefield, waiting for his siblings to be brought to him, near dead. What changed was something nearly beyond his comprehension, a patient was brought tom him with multiple cuts and puncture wounds, looking like he was at the bad end of a bar fight, which was somewhat common in the Big Easy, though many people would avoid those in the city that had taken such a beating almost eight years ago. Most of the victims, though, don't change a person's life. As Matthew came to check on him, He got a glimpse beyond what he should have, for he saw a impossible thin man draw a knife across the throat of his patient, the monitors turned off. Matt tried to quietly exit the room, but the man turned just as he started to backing up. With a growl, the killer lept after Matthew, who ran out to the nearest security station, only to find some strangers with crossbows waiting near there. One of the group, who later identified themselves as hunters, yelled at him, "DOWN!" Matt fell instantly, and a bolt flew through where his head used to be, striking the creature right between the eyes. The others moved to check the thing, finishing it with several pokes with multiple blades. The one who shot it came over to the ex-soldier, and started the intro speech to those who see what wants to remain hidden. Matt agrees to help, but doesn't want to actively hunt, saying that he's had too much fighting for his life. His skills as a combat medic were very useful, eventually catching the eyes of the Silver Cross, who welcomed him for his experience with most types of trauma. His cool head has lead to even more respect. He has, since he took up the Vigil, researched the various supernatural being recorded.

He was asked to set up a Silver Cross free clinic in the Atlanta area, as the local hunters have gotten word of increased supernatural activity there. He was able to pick up a job as the same thing he did in NO in Atlanta, and once settled, will begin to search for a place to set up the free clinic.
