Background
As a child, Matt Helms was abandoned by his parents in a burning house and was left for dead. An urban legend says that he made a deal with the Devil to come back to life with his dying breaths and was revived through the Dark Arts. After he murdered his parents, he stayed in the same house he was murdered in and ruled the surrounding forest, feeding off of hate and suffering.

Season Two
Travis Touchdown travels through the first Akashic Point and finds himself in a forest. From there, he locates an abandoned house surrounded by graves. He enters the house, looking around it suspiciously. The door suddenly closes behind him and he wanders the house, and footsteps got faster and louder. Terrified, Travis runs up a staircase to see a small boy; he falls backwards, activating his beam katana in a fright. Matt Helms sneaks up behind him and strikes, crushing the stairs under his large battle axe, but Travis dodges in time.

Matt then attempts to set Travis on fire with his flamethrower. After dodging, Travis calls him a "psychotic fucker" and then battles Matt. At the end of the fight, Travis impales Matt in his head at full power until it explodes, "killing" him. Travis then turns around and sees a young boy covered in blood, Matt's true form. The boy threatens he'll kill Travis and then grabs out a small axe in an attempt to kill Travis, but Sylvia Christel appears in the doorway and stops Matt by shooting him, but Matt gets up unharmed and flees while manically laughing. Sylvia tells Travis about Matt and that he's already dead, with Travis only to shrug it off and stating "all assassins are fucked up somehow, or we wouldn't be in this profession". Sylvia then sets his house on fire, destroying it, letting Matt's soul finally rest.
