Bio: Matthew Dawson is a mid-30s mystic warrior known as Paragon, the last active heir of an ancient magical lineage tied to Merlin’s Aelryn Order. Orphaned at 15 when his parents were killed in a targeted occult attack, Matthew was raised and trained in the mystic arts by family friend and knight mentor James Sylas.

Operating in the shadows as a relic hunter and arcane specialist, Matthew eventually crossed paths with Agent Preston Daniels, forming a covert alliance that brought him to the attention of STAR. While officially unaffiliated, Paragon is considered a high-risk but cooperative independent operative.

Matthew’s life changed when he met Ella Hunt, a fearless archaeologist and treasure hunter. After witnessing Matthew in action as Paragon, Ella became one of the few people to know his true identity. Their partnership, both professional and personal grew into a deep bond built on trust, danger, and shared purpose.

Cynical, sharp-witted, and emotionally guarded, Matthew carries the weight of a coming war. Knowing that the dark sorcerer Morvane will one day return, Paragon prepares in silence, ready to stand as the last line of defense when that moment arrives.
