Mattathius Tenenbaum

After the death of their mother Martha Mattathius and his sister Sarah, whom he was especially close with, ran unsupervised and gained a reputation for mischief. His father Jubilation remarried hoping that a new wife would help calm his children but they tormented her endlessly. Mattathius was sent to school to become a preacher, but he was more interested in dancing and socializing than preaching. Mattathius was the unofficial organizer of all dances and social events in Godgate. He married Matilda Houle. After Matilda’s death, their daughter Beatrice was left in the care of a distant relative, Sarah Scorpio, and he remarried Hitty Ipswich.
