:: OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Raphael Giovanni Mattias is a well rounded and an A-typical young adult. He has taken well to college life and has been known to let his “hair down” so to speak while away from the watchful eyes of his father, family, and staff. This is tempered of course by his training and the knowledge that he is in fact a Mattias and can never let things get out of hand. He stays out of trouble and out of the spotlight for the most part when it comes to his leisure activities so his family are none the wiser.
Raphael is a smooth talker and quite the ladies man, not that he would ever admit to it while at home. What happens at college, stays at college, after all. He is known to use his influence to afford him privileges and advantages in advancing his social status, which augments his popularity. He's known in school for his surfer dude drab speech and attire, yet can easily turn off his leisure side and go nose to nose with any of his brothers or Father in formality and calculative business only personality that Mattias are famous for.
On the darker side of things, he harbors grudges against his brothers that puts him at odds with them whenever he gets the chance. While not quick to anger, some might say he's downright nasty when not in his father's presence. He's quick to challenge his brothers point of view and is knows for his sarcasm when in private with them. Its not that he hates them, exactly, its that he feels they owe him for shortchanging him. He tends to point this out whenever possible. Those on the outside would see this as just sibling rivalry. In a way it is. Raphael would be quick to set aside his personal issues for the good of the family and protect them if the need raised. Its family first, after all. Thats father's first rule, after all.
Raphael's relationship with Gwendolyn is luke-warm at best. He was responsible for her for most of his teenage years, making sure she had what she needed. He simply tolerates her, for the sake of his mother and father. He blames Gwendolyn for his stature as 3rd best since he feels he could have bested his brothers if not saddles with her care. He blames her for being left out of the grooming for alpha for which he feels he was entitled to. In his eyes, it was the fact that he had to look after her that the decision was made to exclude him.
He knows better than to mistreat his half sister or cause her harm. He would have to answer to Mitchel, and there is no way he would do anything to put himself in unfavorable terms with him. Raph loves his father, and like all the Mattias children, is always jockeying for his favor.

:: HISTORY:
Raphael Mattias was born on August 26 to Nadia and Mitchel Mattias and was the third of three boys. Being born well into the golden age of the Mattias family where their father Mitchel completed his ambitious goals of an empire for the Mattias family, he wanted or needed of nothing. He went to the best schools and excelled in all his studies as all Mitchel's children were required to do.
Being the third in line for the leadership of the family afforded Raphael the luxury of being virtualy ignored by his father since the likelihood of him taking the reins as alpha were low. He received his training like the others, but was not pushed for perfection as were his brothers before him. He was left out of the more rigorous sessions for some reason and became his mother's prodigy instead, Whether it was a compromise between his mother and father or not, he would never know for neither would admit to it.
The fact that he was not being groomed for a possible role as Alpha became fuel for resentment. His jealosy at his brothers festered in him as he matured and began to understand why his father never spent as much time with him as he did his older brothers. Raphael was competitive by nature and strived to equal and best his brothers, yet always came in 3rd due to his brothers Michaelangelo and Leonardo's superior training and motivation.
As with all situations, there was a silver lining to being closer to his mother Nadia. Raphael was able to live a more normal life, having more time for socializing and hobbies. He was able to participate in sports, clubs, and other activities that his brothers were too busy for. His only handicap came in the form of his half sister when the scandal of Mitchel Mattias affair with another woman was revealed. Being the youngest at 11years old, he was saddled with watching after Gwendolyn Mattias.
His brothers were too busy with their education and training, and since he was closer to his mother, he was usually the one left to attend to his baby half-sister when she was in need of something that the servants or other staff would not attend to on his mothers behalf. He could never accept the girl since she was the source of his precious mother's unhappiness. He cared for his sister and tolerated her, as did his mother, only because his father Mitchel demanded it of him and the rest of the family.
Raphael completed his High School in Honors, and has since moved on to college where he is still enrolled to this day. He lives in the dorms of his fraternity so he is away from home for a good part of the year. He does, however spend most of his holidays and vacations at home, unless he has other plans. He majors in political science, Law and Business, while also minoring in several other studies. His father's vision for him is to be the “face” of the Mattias Family and Businesses. Once done he is to serve under Leonardo and Michaelangelo as the family's public and governmental\political relations officer.
