Sir Matthew Lubbock

Sir Matthew Lubbock is the Methuselah Toreador Elder who Embraced Christopher Houghton.

Biography
Not much is known about Sir Matthew Lubbock's early life, but what is known is that he awoke from torpor in the mid-seventeenth century and was one of the Toreador hostages in London. Soon after awakening, Lubbock began courting a young mortal boy, Christopher Houghton. On the boy's thirteenth birthday, Sir Matthew succumbed to desire and Embraced Houghton.

Following the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie, Lubbock took Christopher and fled from London to Boston, where they witnessed the entirety of the American Revolution.

In the 1820s, Lubbock challenged his childe Christopher to create a work of art that he could show to the Toreador of Boston. Christopher, who had developed a reputation of being a poseur, accepted the challenge and went to work on his masterpiece, "The Gates of Heaven."

After nine months, Houghton had finished and unveiled his work to almost the entire Toreador clan of New England at a Kindred social event. The painting was horrible; Sir Matthew's position within the Toreador community had been all but destroyed. He disowned Christopher, telling him to never again darken his doorstep, and Christopher then fled from Boston, eventually arriving on the west coast of the United States.

While Sir Matthew disappears from Kindred history at this point, Houghton is still extremely paranoid that, even nearly two hundred years later, one day Lubbock will return for revenge for the immense shame Christopher brought upon him.
