Last one.

Matt's got his relationship with his twin and obviously something with the other Gallaghers that turn up and one other shared misadventure with Liz Delongpre, but other than that he really has nothing going on and could really use more things.

Name: Matthew "Matt" Gallagher
Age: Twenty-Five
Family most closely affiliated with: Gallagher
Three Fast Facts:
- Matthew Gallagher had always been a parent's wet dream in his youth, at least as far as the public face he put on went. Coming from a long line of politicians, Matt could charm a smile out of the biggest stick-in-the-mud old crone or a pretty girl out of her clothes with the best of them. A master word-smith, Matt's silver tongue has gotten him out of many a sticky situation and it is perhaps this knavish knack for perpetually narrowly escaping discovery that drove him to constantly test the limits of his powers of persuasion. Like any other spoiled rich kid struggling to combat the boredom of a life lacking in consistent challenges, Matt was eager to fill the void with worthy stimuli. Rather than turn to drugs, alcohol and sex (though there was still certainly plenty of that) his preferred form of entertainment was manipulating the emotions of those around him. No relationship proved sacred, save for maybe the one that existed between he and his twin sister, Mia.
- Maybe it was the fact that his older brother was always stealing his toys as a kid that Rick had never been fully endeared himself to Matt. It was during those early swaddling years of trying to keep Mia's Barbie dolls out of Rick's hands that he developed a relentless protectiveness over her. In Matt she could always count on his unconditional support as he was always willing to drop everything at a moment's notice whenever one of her many misadventures landed her in trouble. In that one regard alone Matt could be utterly selfless, his concern for her wellbeing greatly outweighing that of his own. He could say that of no one else, not even the other members of his family.
- His blatant disregard for the wellbeing of others could be evidenced in the fact that he regularly got behind the wheel or rode in the passenger seat of someone else's Mercedes Benz whilst drunk and/or high. One can only cheat fate for so long before it finally catches up with you and for Matt that moment came when a completely blitzed Elizabeth Delongpre swerved her car into oncoming traffic with Matt riding shotgun. That had been the turning point in his life. Upon waking up in ICU two days later he was devastated to learn the passenger in the other car had been permanently crippled and disfigured. His father had been quick to sweep his involvement under the rug, judging him rather generously perhaps because it was the first time a major incident had involved him rather than his sister, yet Matt was not content to let the matter die there. For once in his life he was determined to take responsibility for his actions and to this day continues to pay for the medical expenses of the person who's life he is partly responsible for altering so significantly. He has since turned over a new leaf, completely disassociating himself from his old life and focusing on the political career his father had intended for him all along. Five years of sobriety and being a Stanford Grad student have made Matt completely and totally boring now according to his beloved twin sister, but he's still the only one who will post bail for her no questions asked so obviously he's still good for something.
