Matteus Vander (マテウス・ヴァンダール), also known as the Thunder God (雷神), is the head of the Vander school and supreme instructor of martial arts for the Imperial Army of Erebonia at Garrelia Fortress.
Background
Matteus is considered one of the five great commanders of the Imperial Army of Erebonia, the others being his brother Zechs Vander, Victor S. Arseid, Aurelia Le Guin and Wallace Bardias. Matteus is rather untalkative, saying no more than needed, and always wears a stern expression, making him misunderstood by those around him. However, those who actually know him are deeply attached to him.
