* '''Terran Cinema and Music:''' Due to his maternal influence, Charles is a fan of cinema and music from the mid-20th to the mid-21st century. He has also found music useful during his attempts at meditation, as he discovered that certain pieces allow him to focus his mind more easily. After recently acquiring a Terran electric guitar, Matthews is hoping to undergo lessons as soon as his duties and schedule permits him the time to do so.

Charles Eric Matthews, along with his twin sister Natasha, was born on stardate 237303.07 at Tycho City Neonatal Clinic, to parents Andrea and Reid Matthews. The youngest in a well-respected family, Charles always felt pressured by the shadows that his family cast. His mother was a senior engineer at Utopia Planitia Shipyards, having a firm hand in starship design, and his father was one of several chief science officers at Sol Station. His siblings were also held in high esteem - his older sister held the position of Professor of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Biological Medicine at Oxford University and his brother Kieran had just been promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander aboard the USS Fearless. During his time at Tycho City Prep, and later at Starfleet Academy, Charles would often be regaled with the tales of what his family members were doing at his age, much to his annoyance. Despite often feeling disrespected and the need to prove himself, as well as distancing himself from what his family had achieved, Matthews developed into an extremely confident, gifted young man with a near eidetic memory.

Following the end of his time at Tycho City Prep, and whilst still under the care of Doctor T’Lora, Charles moved to the city of Oxford in England and resided with his older sister. It was there that he developed a well-spoken British accent and completed his compulsory education, excelling in the sciences and engineering just like his parents and siblings had. Due to his family history, Matthews initially had little desire to join Starfleet Academy and was determined to find his own path. However, following a suggestion from his counsellor, Charles spent eighteen months living in the city of ShiKahr on Vulcan. Whilst there, he shifted his focus away from engineering and science and spent time studying Vulcan art and literature; he also became fluent in conversational Vulcan and began practicing the martial art Suus Mahna. Matthews’ time at Vulcan ended following a heart to heart with his old brother when visiting the Fleet Museum at Athan Prime. Kieran convinced Charles that he could be his own man and make their mother and sister proud; and that he could make a difference in Starfleet. The speech had stirred something within him, almost as much as being in the presence of the historic starships had, and his subsequent application to Starfleet Academy was duly accepted.
