To Xavier's student body, he is known as that gay witch teacher (he is not in fact gay but is a queer witch) who's been dying of cancer for a while, grades laxly, and is very easily to steer toward entertaining tangents in class. Also he's the sponsor for the school's championship chess team, but who cares about that? Nerds, probably. Also, it is common knowledge that he is Xavier's student [[Gaétan]]'s older brother--often to Gaétan's considerable embarrassment. To Xavier's staff he's known as one of the go-to troubleshooters when trying to help students with difficult or dangerous powers, and otherwise as a generally friendly coworker. Among the X-Men he's known to be immensely useful in the skill with which he wields his metamutant ability to augment and manage the powers of his teammates, a similar role to that which he fills on [[Jax]] and [[Ryan]]'s Prometheus raid team. | ||

Years of grueling chemotherapy on and off did not cure him, but Prometheus did, after kidnapping him from his hospital bed and falsifying his death. During his stay, the researchers used his CSF to develop a mutant power suppression serum. He was eventually rescued in a raid led by [[Jax]] and [[Ryan]], but his experiences in Prometheus left him with deep scars and a fierce determination to help free others from a similar fate. | ||

The death of their mother Elie Tessier had left the custody of the younger siblings to Lucien and Matt, something they had been fighting her over for years. Things seemed to finally be looking up for the Tessiers, except that the early-manifested power of their youngest sister Sera was causing progressively more damage to her health, eventually relying on Matt and Lucien's powers to keep her alive. When another recurrence of Matt's cancer diminished his ability to maintain Sera's treatment, her health deteriorated until she died, shortly before her 10th birthday. The whole family is still reeling from this tragedy, Matt most of all in his persistence regret that he had failed his sister in his own weakness. | ||

He is proficient in knitting, socializing, and swing dancing. He loves tabletop games and has formidable skill in several, most notably chess and Scrabble (even if he tries to sneak in words that aren't in the dictionary). Though he has in recent years learned how to fight even without his powers (and those of others around him that he can hijack), he is not exceptionally adept at close-quarters combat and still far better at talking his way out of fights than actually winning them. | ||
