info History
Background - What is Mathias Skalen’s background?

Mathias started boxing at the age of 7 and quickly rose in the competitive leagues. When he was 15 he started hanging out with some people of a rather unpleasant group and was lulled into committing several unarmed robberies. This is when he started drinking as well.
At the age of 21, he became more serious about his boxing career and got his life back on tracks by leaving the group of 'friends' he had. Sadly, he stayed an heavy drinker and eventually got submitted to a mental hospital in order to help him recover. After a few fights, that may not have been his fault, and relocations he ended up at Morrowbay asylum where he met Q. The two had a room next to each other and quickly became friends.

Originates from Germany
while Mathias was with the group of delinquents, age 15 to 21, he supposedly met Q somewhere and already forged a mutually respecting relationship back then. Q remains silent on the subject and Mathias misses a few memories due to his frequent state of being blackout drunk.
