Matthew Fries was a student at the Grayson Academy and the son of mobster Corbin Fries.
He was very studious and a fan of comic books like The Punisher and X-Men that his father forbade him to read, plausibly to hide his sinister projects.
His father implanted a mystical container within Matthew, which contained a bomb that was triggered by simply speaking a specific word. Upon learning of this information, Hauser and the Wolfram & Hart Special Operations Team set off to kill Matthew, his classmates and anyone within a fifty yard radius. Angel rescued Matthew before the Special Op's team arrival at the school, and killed all but one of the team. Once Matthew was returned to Wolfram & Hart, Fred and Wesley disabled the charm holding the bomb within Matthew, and reluctantly returned him safely to his father.
