Biography
Matthew was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the time, and suddenly, as he got older in elementary school, he seemed to be the main one bullied because of his race, although he is of African-American, Caucasian and Jewish descent, he was still hurt and devastated, so, he and his family moved to a new state and after doing so, he suddenly became friends with Siobhan Mata, and was less bullied because the school was very diverse.

In the debut episode of Rebel, he was introduced hanging with his close friend Siobhan, and spotting his crush Toby Harverson with his girlfriend, Ronnie Chase, feeling jealous, Siobhan tries to snap him out of it. Meanwhile, he suddenly interacts with Toby as they bump into each other at a restaurant bathroom, they both realize that they have a lot in common and Toby convinces him to join a club at their school so they could be more close as friends.

Later on, Rebel meets everyone at the school club and he believes that he's more comfortable with everyone there, however, as Toby and Rebel both agree on hanging out, Richie believes that Toby has a crush on him, and it seems as if he tries to hide it. As they all hang out, it becomes awkward for the both of them because they both realize the feelings they have for each other. Toby suddenly compliments his "cute eyes" and Rebel tries to ask him if he's bisexual or gay, and Toby replies that he doesn't know who he is.

As doing so, Rebel suddenly finds out about a sexual encounter with Stevie and Ronnie, and tries to prevent it from going to Toby, as much as he want to tell him.
