In the heart of the Lodis Kingdom, Matheu Polardi, a violet-haired scion of the esteemed Polardi family, thrives amidst cogs, gears, and the sound of clanging metal. A creator of magnificent contraptions, Matheu's intricate mechanical inventions seem to breathe life, whispers of him traveling far and wide. At the age of twenty-five, he already boasts of an illustrious legacy of innovative devices that seem drawn from otherworldly dreams.

Matheu is far removed from the noise of the marketplace, where commoners haggle over goods from the Polardi Port. His world revolves around his creations, his heart pulsating with the rhythm of clockwork. However, his inventive pursuit is not merely for the sake of creation; it's an escape from a buried past, a salve for an old wound.

As a child, Matheu suffered a deeply traumatic experience shrouded in mystery. A forbidden corner of the grand Polardi mansion collapsed, taking the life of his beloved younger sister. She'd been no older than three winters, yet her laughter was the melody that brought life to the stone barriers of their home. The guilt of having lost his sister in an accident born out of his very own, but unperfected, contraption has entrenched itself deep within Matheu's heart. Through deft fingers and determined endeavor, he tries to reconcile his sense of loss with his passion for invention.

Matheu's daily routine is simplistically crafted: invent, refine, and perfect. He's often found in deep contemplation, his violet eyes mirroring his inner turmoil and the gears that constantly turn within his mind. Matheu's gift is not solely confined to invention; he possesses a political acumen rare for his age. With his family's standing and wealth, he yields considerable influence over the realm's politics. But the power game, for him, is not about acquiring more riches—it is about safeguarding his family and using it as a canvas to bring his creations to life.

Alongside intricate contraptions, Matheu carries on his brave adventures amidst political intrigue and dangerous expeditions to procure rare materials for his creations. His most noted accomplishment is the creation of the Polardi Crane, a colossal structure that had revolutionized the loading and offloading of goods at the Polardi Port.

Matheu's personality is highlighted with idiosyncrasies, a charm that draws both admirers and critics. His violet hair—a proud symbol of Polardi legacy—often captures attention before his mannerism, and his schematics shoehorned under his arm, always do. A symbol he holds dear to heart is a fragile, glass butterfly, the last gift he ever received from his sister. It serves a reminder of a loss he'd once incurred and the immense potential inventions - good and bad - can harbor. It is his credo, his life's principle reminding him not only about the marvel of creations but also the obscurities that lurk beneath.

Matheu Polardi may only be a young man fresh out of the Rakal Academy of Science, but he is undoubtedly a creator who dares to dream, learns from his past, and hopes to forge a future far removed from traditional assumptions of what is and what can be. Brave, versatile, yet haunted, Matheu's complex character looms over his own inventions, becoming a living symbol of strength, resilience, creativity, and penitence in his world.
