Matt Bluestone

Matt Bluestone is Elisa's partner in the New York Police Department.

History

Matt was originally an FBI agent, partnered with Martin Hacker, but was later on dismissed because of his obsessive search for the Illuminati. Matt had somehow become aware of the Illuminati's existence, and promptly embarked upon a quest to obtain proof of its existence and then shut it down. His superiors in the FBI apparently considered his obsessive mission an indication that he was unstable. Matt afterwards entered the NYPD.

There, after helping Captain Chavez arrest Tony Dracon for the theft of Xanatos' particle beam accelerator weapons, he was assigned to Elisa as her partner, much to her chagrin at first. Matt soon became aware of the gargoyles, and began to search for proof of their existence, alongside that of the Illuminati. However, Elisa managed to see to it for a long while that he never found any. ("Deadly Force", "The Edge", "Legion")

Matt's quest for the Illuminati soon began to focus on Mace Malone; Matt believed (correctly) that Malone's disappearance in 1924 was due to the Society. His first investigation for Malone led him down a dead end (to Tony and Dominic Dracon's search for Mace Malone's jewels, in fact). ("The Silver Falcon") Matt finally confronted the old gangster at Pine Lawn, thanks to a tip from Malone's stepson, Jack Dane. Malone offered to induct Matt into the Illuminati if he turned a gargoyle over to them, and informed him of Elisa's friendship with the gargoyles.

By this time, Matt and Elisa had become trusted allies and friends, and he felt hurt and betrayed that Elisa had kept the gargoyles a secret from him for so long. Elisa finally relented and introduced Matt to the Manhattan Clan-who accepted him warmly. Matt then persuaded Goliath to accompany him to the Hotel Cabal, where he planned to obtain proof of the Illuminati's existance. When they got there, Goliath was seperated from Matt and forced to undergo tortureous trials in the various rooms of the hotel. However, Matt, who had by now become aware of the gargoyles' true nature, then proceeded to help Goliath escape and saved his life. Matt and Goliath had planned this from the beginning. The two new allies escaped together, leaving Malone to rot in his own death trap. In spite of this, Matt was still brought into the Illuminati - by Hacker, who turned out to be another Illuminatus, to Matt's shock. ("Revelations")

After the gargoyles were revealed to the world, Matt was made the head of the Gargoyle Taskforce. Because he was a friend to the clan, Matt did all that he could during the Taskforce's first encounter with the gargoyles at Saint Damien's Cathedral to avoid capturing them, and allowed Xanatos to rescue the clan. ("Hunter's Moon" Part Three) He also appeared on Nightwatch in an interview with Travis Marshall to stress the fact that the gargoyles were not a danger to the public - although judging from how many recruits Castaway was able to gain for the Quarrymen, not too many New Yorkers seem to have believed him. ("Nightwatch")

Later, Matt encountered Martin Hacker again, much to his annoyance, when the latter interrupted a Gargoyle Taskforce meeting and introduced himself as the Federal Liaison. Hacker told Matt that he approves of Matt's taskforce running interference for the gargoyles. But as Matt knows, Hacker and the Illuminati aren't always to be trusted. ("Invitation Only")
