CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:
Born only to be orphaned by parents he scarcely remembers, haunted by memories that aren't his own and possessed of the innate ability to father children Matthew Knox was born to a mess without understanding the reasons why. He was adopted out of a catholic orphanage long after he had 'aged out' by most standards by a childless well-off couple, one of whom a retired prize fighter and wrestler. With a bad temper and an addictive personality to boot his father did the only plausible thing and taught the son he chose how to fight and how to make a living off it, knowing that a standard environment would only doom Matthew to an early grave.
And well, the guy got pretty good at it. He looked to be done after retiring in disgrace in 2008 only to reemerge in 2020 and begin a two year tear that saw him beat some of the biggest names in the industry and win world titles in multiple promotions, holding 4 titles simultaneously at one time for multiple months. He inherited Pro Wrestling Valor from Cam Roth Sr, and after a successful run at the head of it however brief he decided the corporate life wasn't for him and handed the day to days off, opting to sit back and collect royalties.
However, even with a wife he didn't deserve and three infants to go along with the legion of adult daughters (8, to be exact) that he had fathered recklessly and a flourishing wrestling school, the hunger was not sated and so with a war torn body and a frayed mind the Raven once more takes flight, determined to go out on his shield.
Who wants to live forever, anyway?
ENTRANCE:
The house lights go out, silence reigning until the uneasy percussion of "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits blasts forth, white and blue strobe lights flashing in time as slowly the house lights rise to a dull blue and Matthew Knox steps out onto the entryway. He takes a moment to look over the crowd, before making his way to the ring. He slides in under the bottom rope, heading to each corner and climbing to the second rope to further pump the crowd up before picking a corner and kneeling in it, staring seemingly into nothingness as he awaits the bell.
