He is a crime lord from Paris who used to own his former girlfriend and slave Katie Marshell, who later became Gusteau's girlfriend and had the courage to escape from the criminal underworld and from Matheo's influence, starting to live a normal life and marry Gusteau. Therefore, Sonatas became Gusteau's second arch-nemesis (after Anton Ego), planning to get his revenge on Gusteau and his allies.
He is portrayed by David Zayas.
History[]
Matheo Sonatas is a crime lord who started off as Katie Marshell's abusive boyfriend, master and owner, as he disrespected her most of the time and used her as a tool to show how strong he is with a woman on his side. It is also known he found Katie years ago on the street, saving her life if she would continue serving him. However, one night, Katie meets Gusteau and the two become a couple. Matheo eventually arrives during their first meeting and warns Gusteau that if he starts befriending Katie he shall be destroyed. Katie tried to stand up for Gusteau at first, but she was still unsuccessful. After Matheo returns with Katie to the bar, he orders his goon Johan to kill Gusteau for him, which was unsuccessful. He told Katie to wait until he comes back from his planned manhunt after Gusteau. However, she rushes towards the river, and she luckily meets Gusteau again, as the two begin to live together and eventually grow up and marry each other, keeping Katie out of harm's way and away from Matheo's influence.
Matheo then joins forces with another kingpin of crime called Mario Lord, as they both conspire to get rid of Gusteau together. Mario starts serving Sonatas because of this. However, when the two gangs meet and unite, Anton Ego comes to them and convinces them to work together with him and follow his ideas of how to get back at Gusteau.
While Ego waits outside the restaurant, Matheo and his goons enter and provoke Gusteau and his workers. After Ego tells another goon outside to show a grenade which then burns the restaurant and possibly causes casualties, Sonatas has to retreat with his men because of the fire. He still plots revenge against Gusteau.
Personality[]
Sonatas is a feared man who operates as a ruthless crime lord in Paris and enjoys picking on the weaker ones and gaining more power through fear tactics, as seen when he tries to kill Gusteau despite his innocence as a child, attempting to make him live his life in fear from the underworld. Sonatas acts like an ambitious type of bully and is willing to harm and even kill others for his own gain.
He cares for no one but himself, and his "respect" to his former slave girl Katie Marshall is only a facade so he can enjoy himself and make other powerful criminals either fear him or at least realize he has a female companion. He abuses her freely and until she escaped his influence, he dictated her life non stop and acted towards her terribly, as he was a cruel pervert. He becomes vengeful and obsessed with Gusteau, attempting to help Anton Ego against him.
Trivia[]
- Matheo Sonatas is based on Salvatore Maroni from Gotham; they are both played by the same actor and are both scary crime lords whom act as big time antagonists towards their opponents.
