Personality:
Matrim Cauthon is an ancient being, one who prefers to live in some semblance of solitude, often keeping one human around himself to feed off of as opposed to hunting. These beings are never something that he sees as an equal to him, always an inferior being that only serves the purpose of providing him with sustenance among other worldly pleasures. Rather than enthralling such a person to follow his whims by making use of his abilities in Compulsion the man prefers to use more subtle forms of manipulation and seduction, making them subject themselves to his whimsy of their own accords. These 'thralls', as he often refers to them as, are treated as he does others and used as his contacts to the world of the light, yet he will give them praise and kind words as necessary to keep them as his pets.
To call the vampiric man a kind lover would be far from the truth, in truth he is quite the sexual sadist. Yet his sadism extends somewhat beyond the bedroom however, and invades even when the man is feeding off another's blood at times. Yet despite his enjoyment in causing pain to another living being, Mat will not take the time to draw out a kill to cause unnecessary anguish. This is not from a lack of wanting to draw out another being's suffering, though he has no real love for such torturous methods, it due to the ease of making a mistake when trying to injure someone as opposed to going straight for the kill.
Many call the aristocratic man stubborn when it comes to decisions he has made, yet Mat likes to refer to himself as steadfast instead. When he comes to a decision, the man will stick by such a decision, changing his mind only on a rare occasion and being talked out of a decision on an even rarer one. This is partially attributed to the man's aristocratic heritage, which also gives him an air that demands respect due from others. The man is not entirely unaware of his own limitations though, and has as great a distaste for submitting to those above him as he does acknowledging they are above him, yet with survival on the line he will do so. Yet with some decisions he makes, the threats of the Old One's themselves will not shake this man from his path.
Appearance:
Were it not for his eyes many would see Matrim Cauthon as a quite handsome man, yet most people that look into his eyes can see a sharp cruelty behind them. Those silvery gray eyes of his have that perpetually cruel look to them, one he never tries to temper or hide no matter whom he speaks to. His hair is somewhat untamed, flowing down to his shoulders, bangs kept out of his eyes, though they are long enough to obstruct his vision if allowed. His features are all fairly sharp, his chin and nose appearing the sharpest of all other facial features. The top and middle of Mat's left ear are pierced with separate silver cuff earrings linked together with a taught silver chain, the top one designed with the word 'Blood' on it and the middle with the word 'Soul', both written in Necril.
His body is fairly well built with a more compact muscular structure, which hides a greater strength than most believe he possesses. Well muscled arms are normally kept hidden beneath a white silk long sleeved pearl snap shirt that generally has the top three or four buttons undone and is never tucked into his pants. The man traditionally wears a pair of black dress pants to accompany his shirt, a black leather belt around his waist to keep the pants in place. His shoes are a lovely black leather that he makes sure are kept constantly polished to perfection with the look that they are meant for special events, yet the bottoms are specially cobbled to suit athletic activity.
The vampiric shinobi will also wear black trench coat made from the finest silk with an interior of crimson silk, yet it is tattered and worn from centuries of use. Sewn onto the left sleeve in the bicep area is a band of onyx silk that goes around the sleeve with a silver embroidered border on it. On the outward facing part of the of the band is symbol of the Cauthon family which is a simple crimson hand. This coat is generally worn over his shoulders without making use of the sleeves due to it's wear and tear. Mat does, however, possess several similar coat that are in a much better state of repair than the original.
History:
Many tales begin at birth, yet the tale of Matrim Cauthon starts seven years later. The Cauthon family ruled over their dukedom and owned many manufacturers of weapons ranging from simple daggers to great siege weapons. Beneath the surface, however, they served a darker god and they pledged their son into service to their deity. In the name of The Great Lord the eldest son was blessed and cursed with a hunger for blood, an inability to sleep, and a negative reaction to sunlight as well as several other gifts. All in preparation for Matrim's lifetime of servitude to The Shadow.
Once the boy's rituals were completed it was required that he be kept locked within the house during the day under the guise of studying on how best to run their duchy and various associated businesses. Those he did learn, yet the boy was also awake during the night where he learned various combat techniques and was schooled in his duties to their Great Lord. With scarce few hours in the early morn for the young Cauthon boy to rest in his trance state and in the early hours one morning the child was visited by another servant of his Master and given a specific set of instructions along with the knowledge of how to manipulate his very soul. It was on that night that he murdered all those within the house with the exception of a few servants, his family included in the slaughter.
Practicing and mastering the manipulation of his very soul, the boy grew into a man and fulfilled his duty to the Great Lord for centuries longer than his natural lifespan, keeping around various thralls to feed him. He watched from the shadows as Mizugakure no Sato was built around his home, a new metropolis built within his dukedom from a long forgotten kingdom. Many a year after the village was founded the man decided it would be best for his services to be offered in service to the village. And now, he has taken up a new thrall, a woman of noble birth by the name Lilith of the Tethys family.
