Age 32, born 1967.
An old friend of Koenig (Dragon's Domain). Koenig calls him as "Bob" in 1997 - yet he is addressed as "Mathias" in Breakaway & Matter Of Life And Death.
In 1997 he appears to be in charge of Medical (Dragon's Domain) but by 1999 he is Dr Helena Russell's deputy. Alternatively the more senior medical chief in 1997 may not have been present when the Ultra Probe was brought in; or the chief was a scientific appointment who would not be involved in treatment. In any case, Mathias does not seem to resent Helena. He is devoted to his job.
Plays chess with Kano in Black Sun, performs magic in Guardian Of Piri, an Eagle pilot in The Last Sunset. Argues with Paul over power for medical in Force Of Life & The Testament Of Arkadia.
He is featured in 21 episodes of Year 1 (not The Last Enemy, The Infernal Machine, Mission Of The Darians) and 2 episodes of Year 2 (The Metamorph and The Exiles, although he is mentioned in One Moment Of Humanity).
