Pretty long, fair hair, cause you don't find a barber after the apocalypse. He tries to keep it clean though. A hawaiian shirt was a must - he keeps a wardrobe of them. Other than that it's Primark jeans and attractive trainers off the rack at TK Maxx all the way. As for his physical body, even though he was in a wheelchair for a year, you don't lug stuff around a city without losing a few pounds. Blue-Grey eyes and a near-permanent grin complete the picture. His voice is higher than you might expect - and somewhat plummy. His equipment hangs in his webbing - his flak jacket sewn to his rucksack and holsters. He favours the Beretta Silver Pigeon shotgun and the Mauser C96 pistol.
Fair hair and a cheeky grin. Hawaiian shirt a must.

== Psychological Analysis ==
Matson's life has been cursed by the failure of his dreams - his A-levels had been Bs instead of As, his degree had been a 2:2 rather than a first, and he'd missed out on the army scholarship, having failed the physical. Having subsequently trained as an officer in the RE, things were looking up - and then he was disabled.
During his time in Malton, the rejuvenating NT serum restored his body, and everything he has done since the outbreak has represented the happiest time of his life - for finally his dreams are reality. Malton has become the ultimate Nietzchean paradise where even death has been conquered. In the back of his mind, he's terrified that it will all end, and he'll return to the old world of disappointment and mortality.
The Giffard Arms represents the sum of Matson's physical and emotional investment - both a great strength and weakness.

Profile

Matson Jade was born in the county of Surrey, UK. He joined the British Army, in the Corps of Royal Engineers, and had a distinguished and upstanding military career. After being injured in a bomb attack, and subsequently rendered paraplegic, he was honourably discharged and received a great deal of compensation. After spending a few years in a wheelchair and accepting his disability, he decided to take the small fortune he had saved, and tour the world.

By fateful chance and divine cockup, he happened to arrive in Malton at time of the Malton Incident. Being wheelchair-bound he did not have much of a chance initially, and was soon killed. His rotting corpse was hauled into a Necrotech building, dragging its useless legs behind it. A kindly scientist revived him, and the glittering serum reconstructed his damaged spinal cord. Two days later, Matson Jade stood for the first time in years.

Overjoyed at this new lease of life, he took to the zombie hunter life, drifting from safehouse to safehouse and doing his bit to keep the zed population down. After relearning his rusty military skills in full, honing his structural engineering and enjoying his legs as an amateur free runner, he decided to branch out into science and medicine, gradually picking up the basic principles of Undead Cytobiology and Medicine. After a while, he tired of merely scraping a living in the chaos: he decided to settle down. At the same time he came across the Giffard Arms public house.

Matson found a lockbox under the smashed bar. Within was all the paperwork he required - Warranty Deeds, Liquor Licences, the works - All blank. The previous owner had, upon the outbreak, decided to leave his pub to whomever wanted to claim it, and had filled in and locked up the paperwork accordingly. Matson filled in the documents and set to work refurbishing his new pub.
