Matchwicke is the current head of the Greenthistle clan, and secret head of the local Thieves' Guild (thought by most to be wiped out). He's a born liar and schemer and he’s determined to better the fortunes of his family using any means at his disposal. He is quite bitter about being run out of Altdorf, and nothing would please him more than getting revenge on the Rumster clan. Dominating Bögenhafen is only a first step in a much larger plan to lodge the Greenthistles back in Altdorf.[1a]
Like Candlewicke he has red hair, but he keeps it neatly cut and wears high quality clothing. Matchwicke believes that appearance counts for a lot when it comes to politics and leadership, so he dresses more finely than a pie maker should.[1a]
