Personal History		Born on Illumini, Gemenon, Matteo grew up in poverty. The family often went to the local parish for food, clothing, and social clubs. The sermons the Priestess gave always inspired the young Matteo. Matteo was very athletic. In high school, he was part of the Pyramid Team, which would win regional tournaments with Matteo becoming Captain in his senior years, but a broken leg ended his hopes of a professional career in Pyramid. He took the injury as a sign from the Lords of Kobol that he was destined for a life of the cloth. Matteo didn’t join any university, so he spent a good number of years at the Pantheon. Matteo prayed and studied theology and philosophy. Eventually become an ordained Minister. But the First Cylon war had broken out. Matteo’s brother, Grog, had joined as an engineering Deckhand. Matteo was inspired to do his duty as well, which is why he requested the Church's permission to serve in the Colonial Fleet
