- Matthew, Clash

Matthew is the level headed steam-powered inspection trolley who spends his time ensuring the safety of the engines and staff on the Alun Railway.

Bio
Matthew was built in 1880 to oversee the maintenance jobs on the Alun Railway.

In 1905, he intervened when Arwel attempted to push Bertram off the ballast chute.

Matthew was instantly suspicious of Albert Woodham when he met Caderyn Gerralt, and was further sceptical when Lloyd was outed as an intruder and price put on his head. He later caught Lloyd trying to flee but helped him, pointing Arwel in the wrong direction. He then demanded the truth from Bertram who explained Lloyd was on the run from scrap and that Albert Woodham wanted a profit. Matthew then agreed to let them pass.

Persona
Having worked on the Alun Railway his entire life, it's only natural that he feels a powerful sense of loyalty for his railway. A proud individual and a disciplined professional, Matthew is highly respected by the others for his self control and tranquility. He likes to maintain the status quo and doesn't take to those who break the rules. He is also quite observant and very astute, and can sense when things aren't as they appear.
