aka Matthew Stargrave, The Stilt Walker
Represents the principles of HOLDS THE COSMIC SCALES... |
Matthew Stargrave was a neglected
child that grew up on the streets with his impovershed family.
While very young, his father brutally cut out Matthew's tongue in order to stop him from crying out
for food during the night. The boy was soon taken from his family and was given sanctuary at a
local church under the supervision of a kind priest named Father Fideles. Matthew took an instant
shine to the cathedral, and enjoyed climbing to the top of the tall church spires. To please the
child, Father Fideles allowed him to be in charge of ringing the bells for the services and soon
after Matthew Stargrave made the bell tower his permanent residence.
Over time, Father Fideles became a father figure to Matthew and passed his interest in the
sciences on to the mute boy by giving him astronomy lessons from the rooftop. One terrible day,
the priest collapsed of a heart attack, leaving Matthew Stargrave alone in a cruel world.
Panicked at losing the only person that kept him from living on the streets, or in an asylum,
Matthew walked to the edge of the rooftop and stepped off. Before he could fall to his death,
the Celestial appeared from the heavens and offered him a pact to become a vessel of the Elder.
After Matthew nodded his consent, he instantly found himself walking on a deserted road until
the Circus found him. He has been the Stilt-Walker of the Circus ever since...
We work long & hard on many of the pictures found on this site. Please do us a favor: don't
rationalize stealing these pictures. If you can't create an original web site, don't do one!
Real simple, right? Anyway, if you do, I'll let my boys Nicky & Mickey pay you a visit. I may
even go as far as getting the Nightmare King to resurrect Deuce! This could get ugly...
