Character Profile: Matt Sargent (Multiverse Traveler)


Background:

Matt Sargent is an interdimensional wanderer, a traveler from a distant world caught in a cosmic anomaly that thrust him into the Veridion Multiverse. Coming from Aetheris-9, a world of advanced science and strange natural phenomena, Matt was an explorer and cultural archivist, not a soldier or warrior. After a catastrophic dimensional breach during an expedition, he was stranded in Veridion, unable to return home.

Determined to unlock the secrets of the multiverse and find a way back, he now navigates Veridion’s chaotic factions while trying to prevent otherworldly rifts from destabilizing Earth. His unique alien knowledge and off-world technology make him a valuable—if mysterious—ally in the fight for the city’s future.
