Matthew McMahon

Matthew McMahon (マシュー・マクマホン) is an individual affiliated with Garden and is also the Director of Policy at Berlint City Hall. He assists Yor Forger during her mission aboard the Princess Lorelei.

Appearance
Matthew is a tall, thin elderly man with a long face. He has narrow eyes and white hair that is parted down the middle.

He dons a black suit with reflective eyeglasses.

Personality
Matthew is a blunt individual. He maintains an air of professionalism, even when presented with the risk of death.

Similar to Yor, he remains relatively unfazed when fighting enemies. He has demonstrated mild exasperation with the latter for killing so messily, commenting on the effort it would take to clean up the scene.

History
Not much is known about Matthew, aside from his status as a member of the Garden. Given his title, he likely ranks above Yor.

Great Cruise Adventure Arc
Matthew calls for Yor to inform her that she has phone call from a special contact. After the call, Matthew escorts her to the Shopkeeper's garden where Yor is informed about her new task to protect the remaining survivors of the Gretcher Family. Throughout the Shopkeeper's briefing with Yor, Matthew stands silently behind Yor, only nodding in agreement when the Shopkeeper reassures Yor that Matthew has arranged an excuse for her to be away from her job and family.

At the port, Matthew, along with two other men, meet up with Yor. After the cruise ship sets sail, the group introduce themselves to Yor's clients, Olka Gretcher and Furseal Grey. Furseal expresses his uncertainty to Matthew about leaving Yor as the sole bodyguard, but Matthew reassures him that they will be safe as long as they remain in the cabin and they leave to do a sweep of the ship. Unbeknownst to him, Yor and Olka secretly sneak outside in disguise and their true identities are overheard by an informant working together with the hitmen.

At night, the group enjoy a fancy dinner at the ship's restaurant but Yor, Olka, and Furseal are too nervous to enjoy their meals. Matthew kicks Yor's chair, reminding her to relax. Afterward, he sends Yor together with Olka back to the cabin, while the others drink at the bar. On the way back from the bar, Matthew notices a suspicious man tailing them and excuses himself from the group by pretending he misplaced something. He silently approaches the man and quickly immobilizes him by breaking his limbs, interrogating him for information about the other hitmen. He soon discovers that all the hitmen have intel on the client and kills the hitman, dumping his body in the sea, before rushing back to their cabins with Furseal. Furseal admits to making a phone call to his parents shortly before the cruise, likely tipping off the assassins to their location.

Abilities and Skills
Despite his appearance as a frail old man, Matthew is still an active member of the Garden, implying he is, even in his advanced age, a competent killer.

Enhanced Strength/Endurance: Matthew demonstrated his strength by effortlessly picking up and throwing the corpses of fully-grown adults off the cruise ship.

Enhanced Speed/Reflexes: Matthew displays great reflexes. In addition to blocking an attack using a broom, he was able to dodge a close-up sword strike just as fast as Yor. Additionally, he was able to dodge a stab from behind while cleaning up blood.

He was fast enough to be able to disappear from his vantage point and reappear behind Yor, with the latter noticing only after he spoke, though this may have been for comedic effect and not a true reflection of his speed.

Weapons: So far, Matthew has only been seen using firearms, including a Dragunov semi-automatic sniper rifle which he wields with great proficiency. He was able to kill three opponents in quick succession without a reaction from any of them. In close-quarters combat, he relies on a silenced pistol. On one occasion, he has used a broom to defend himself.

Cleaning: Matthew brought along a broom and bucket to clean up blood from Yor's fight.
