Matthew Toris

Matthew Toris is the father of the current generation of Torises (Terri, Vira, Ian, Brian, and Max), husband of Lauren Toris. When the Vigilant Guardians visited the Pearldust Pawn Shop, Gnogglebolt Sparkgear queried the Toris patriarch, Nathaniel, about Papa's unusual behavior. It was then revealed that 'Papa' was not a dog at all, his form due to a curse cast upon him some time ago, which has locked Matthew in his most favored magically shapeshifted form before the curse.

Like all of the Toris family, Matthew wears a pendant bearing the sign of Bahamut. While somewhat on the goofy side, Matthew is very proud of his family, and very protective of his kids (as Tathi Eyllisaearsithek found out one day when she made Terri uncomfortable by prying into the Toris family secrets relentlessly). He is some sort of spellcaster, but what kind, he has not disclosed.
