Not much is known about Mat's early childhood. At some point, he and his biological sister, [[Rosa]], were moved to an orphanage. The two were raised here until 1990, when a [[Moon Children]] couple - [[Hank|Hank Hubbard]] and [[Diana Hubbard]] - adopted Mat. The couple had previously been unable to have a child of their own, and at this point, they could only afford to raise one child, meaning that Mat had now been separated from his sister. Later that year, however, Diana finally gave birth to a baby boy - [[Ben Hubbard]]. Tragically, she passed away during the process, leaving Hank to raise Ben and Mat alone. | Not much is known about Mat's early childhood.

Hank adored Ben, resulting in Mat becoming more and more neglected over the years. At some point, Hank had inducted Ben into the Moon Children. In 1998, Hank slowly began to lose his grip on reality, resulting in [[Luna]] teaching him the ways of [[ascension]]. The Moon Children saw this as blasphemy and he was cast out form the cult. Hank used this time to go and form his own cult, the [[Lunar Children]]. During this time, though, Ben remained within the Moon Children as a spy of sorts. | Hank adored Ben, resulting in Mat becoming more and more neglected over the years.

By this point, Mat and Hank's relationship had been soured for quite some time. In 2002, Mat decided to join the Moon Children on his own accord under the name "Rodney R". In order to become an official member, Mat had to carry out one final task - killing Hank. Mat travelled to Hank's house on April 23rd, where he discovered that Ben had already been killed by Hank earlier in the day. Mat proceeded to kill Hank - likely through bludgeoning and electrocuting him. Unexpectedly, this resulted in Hank ascending into [[Patrem]] and [[transcending]] into one of the [[Four Giants]]. Mat reported back to the Moon Children. They were surprised to discover that this proved Hank's previous testimonies about ascension. The cult later decided to lie about the date of Hank's death to cover up this mistake. | By this point, Mat and Hank's relationship had been soured for quite some time.

Mathew Hubbard, also known as Ifrit or MattR, is an enigmatic character who has antagonized the players throughout Johnisdead. Mat first appeared in Jadusable's ARG as a high ranking Moon Child. Over the course of Johnisdead, it was revealed that he was responsible for the tragedy that wiped out most of the Moon Children, after which he later joined the Lunar Children. However, even while in the Lunar Children, Mat's loyalties were difficult to pin down, as he often disregarded the Elder Children's wishes and contacted Tenebris in private.

Story
Origins
Not much is known about Mat's early childhood. At some point, he and his biological sister, Rosa, were moved to an orphanage. The two were raised here until 1990, when a Moon Children couple - Hank Hubbard and Diana Hubbard - adopted Mat. The couple had previously been unable to have a child of their own, and at this point, they could only afford to raise one child, meaning that Mat had now been separated from his sister. Later that year, however, Diana finally gave birth to a baby boy - Ben Hubbard. Tragically, she passed away during the process, leaving Hank to raise Ben and Mat alone.
Hank adored Ben, resulting in Mat becoming more and more neglected over the years. At some point, Hank had inducted Ben into the Moon Children. In 1998, Hank slowly began to lose his grip on reality, resulting in Luna teaching him the ways of ascension. The Moon Children saw this as blasphemy and he was cast out form the cult. Hank used this time to go and form his own cult, the Lunar Children. During this time, though, Ben remained within the Moon Children as a spy of sorts.
Moon Children
By this point, Mat and Hank's relationship had been soured for quite some time. In 2002, Mat decided to join the Moon Children on his own accord under the name "Rodney R". In order to become an official member, Mat had to carry out one final task - killing Hank. Mat travelled to Hank's house on April 23rd, where he discovered that Ben had already been killed by Hank earlier in the day. Mat proceeded to kill Hank - likely through bludgeoning and electrocuting him. Unexpectedly, this resulted in Hank ascending into Patrem and transcending into one of the Four Giants. Mat reported back to the Moon Children. They were surprised to discover that this proved Hank's previous testimonies about ascension. The cult later decided to lie about the date of Hank's death to cover up this mistake.
Over the next several years, Mat proved himself to the Moon Children and rose through their ranks, eventually becoming one of the administrators on their website, Youshouldnthavedonethat.net (YSHDT.net). At some point, Mat reunited with his sister Rosa. Though she never became a true initiate of the cult, she was still closely involved with them. Under the username "Ifrit", Mat would occasionally post announcements about general happenings within the cult. Events surrounding YSHDT.net are somewhat confusing and unclear, as players from 2016 began interacting with it within various different timelines. The following seems to be the most universal series of events that took place around this time, however:
At some point in 2010, the Blackout occurred. This resulted in several members of the Moon Children including Rosa and Alex going missing. On September 14th, 2010, Mat oversaw the reconstruction of YSHDT.net. Early in the morning of September 16th, players from 2016 began emailing Mat. This confused him, as he hadn't publicly released his email anywhere yet. Regardless, Mat happily obliged to answer any questions, viewing the players as potential recruits. Here, he revealed that he would be holding a "party" of sorts on Sunday, September 19th - a religious "Revival" for the cult. When asked about Hank's body, Mat claimed that he doesn't like thinking about the day he killed his father and that it was a dark time for him. After being swamped with emails, Mat told the players to send their questions to Spencer instead.
The next day, on September 17th, Mat made a general post announcing some work he completed on the site and addressing the sudden influx of new users. He also ended off this post asking other members if they wished to participate in the upcoming party on Sunday. On September 19th, the day of the party, the giant Kelbris arose from his grave and travelled to Mat's home. Here, infused Mat with holy knowledge from Luna - likely Lunar Children teachings and Tenebris's influence. After this, Mat fell into a trance of sorts. He later proceeded to kill off most of the remaining Moon Children, transcending Alex and Spencer in the process.
Lunar Children
Mat was later brought into the Lunar Children. It was later implied that this was part of Kevin's goal - a Lunar Child operative who was spying on the Moon Children during 2010. Mat shared valuable information with the Lunar Children, having deep knowledge of the now-destroyed Moon Children's teachings. By 2015, Mat had been granted the rank of Elder Child and was offered a personal bedroom within the upper floors of The Spire in Ohio. He would also occasionally most announcements on Lunarchildren.com under the name "MattR" or "Operator", much like how he did as "Ifrit" back on YSHDT.net.
On April 4th, 2015, Mat oversaw the cult's Blood Moon Ritual, while a new recruit carried out the ceremony. Mat could be seen activating the Listening Device so that Patrem may begin speaking. Near the end of the video, Mat can be seen killing the new recruit as a sacrifice to Luna. On May 26th, Mat made an announcement regarding Lunarchildren.com's recent technical difficulties, claiming that the site had just been rebuilt. The next day, Mat made another announcement informing users that the site's terminology pages had been updated and that the Lunar Children Forums were currently being worked on.
On June 18th, Mat announced that Lunarchildren.com now had a new layout and revamped security features. A few days later on June 23rd, Mat announced another security update and informed users that Liquidsaint was making progress on the forums. On July 5th, Mat made an announcement revealing that Liquidsaint would be travelling to The Spire later that year. At some point, Mat began communicating with Tenebris in private - a taboo act due to Tenebris's mischievous nature. On August 1st, Mat announced a banquet that would take place on August 3rd welcoming Liquidsaint to the Spire. On the night of the banquet, Mat convinced Tenebris to steal away the players' Ocarina powers and give them to the cult. He then proceeded to submit the "Bolero of Fire", resulting in a fire breaking out at Tyler's workplace. While this was a beneficial act for the cult, Mat was still punished for acting out of turn and was unable to attend the banquet.
On September 9th, Mat used the Ocarina to power up Regiminis. Mat returned to the public eye and apologized for his rash actions a few days later on September 11th. Mat's words were insincere, however, as it was later revealed that he was still communicating with Tenebris in private. The other Elder Children discovered this and began listening in on these meetings in secret. Around this time, the Lunar Child Hunter Jarvis had proven himself to be quite capable - so much so that he was being considered a position among the other Elder Children. Mat himself recommended Hunter as well.
Once the Lunar Children Forums finally became operational, he could be found occasionally posting there. When the user Hina616 trespassed on the Fishery grounds and recovered Tyler's Crescent Moon Necklace, Mat harshly reprimanded her, threatening her with death if she did not immediately place the necklace back where she found it. On Undecim Nocte 2015, while most of the Lunar Children were at The Spire, Mat was at the fishery. Undecim Nocte went awry when the players managed to recover their Ocarina powers and rescue Tyler. The Lunar Children were unable to complete their ceremony as their "ace in the hole", the crescent moon necklace, had been given back to Tyler by Hunter. After this, both Mat and Hunter disappeared.
Personality
Mathew Hubbard
The borrowed son, borrowed from what? What actualization is found in self appointed names? Is hubris to seek to step outside ones self or to fal to far into reflection? A product of the all minds shadow, false son of the Grand Father. Almost as aware as I pretend I am not, capable of working with "mandella effects" not unlike his master, but probably not as good XD
He craves the real realm, what does he think that is? XD
