As an effect of this, humanity would be lost and he would become a vampire himself. With the stone, Mathias could not only control the powerful spirit creature, but also absorb the souls of slain vampires and add their powers to his own. Through his acquiring the arcane relic, an evil deity known as Death bound himself in servitude to Mathias, as Death would only follow he who controlled the Crimson Stone. Through some means, the stone came into Mathias's possession and he planned to use it to ascend to immortality. He learned about the Crimson Stone, considered to be a treasure among vampires. Mathias began searching for ways to become immortal and show God that he didn't have a final say in everything and that he could defy God's decrees by existing outside them and scorning God in his eternal life. He thought it was unjust and unfair for God to take away what mattered most to him, when he had given God so much and when Elisabetha was such a pure and blameless woman who has not deserved to die. Upon returning and learning of her death, Mathias was overtaken with despair so profound that he became bedridden, presumably worrying Leon considerably, as Mathias was the strategist and tactician of the company.ĭuring that time, Mathias grew angry at God for allowing Elisabetha to die such an early death while he was away risking his life and fighting in God's name.
While away on a campaign against heathens in the east, Elisabetha died due to illness. Mathias married a woman named Elisabetha who he was deeply in love with. Mathias was very well educated and quite skilled in the art, though he never told Leon or any of his other compatriots of his knowledge, with the notable exception of Rinaldo Gandolfi, whom he had met at an unspecified time. Little is known of Mathias's early life or his family, save that they seem to have been longtime practitioners of Alchemy and had advanced further into the study than most alchemists could have ever dreamed. With Mathias's brilliant military strategies and Leon's skill with a sword, their company was unstoppable. Sometime during the mid to late 11th century, he served in a company of knights alongside then Baron Leon Belmont.
