Biography
Matt Strictland was born into an extremely wealthy family, who constantly abused him, worrying more about their own image then his welfare. He grew to loathe his parents and the friends they made in Ambrose City. At the age of 17, he planned to elope with his lover, an intern working at his father's company, but when his parents found out about their engagement, they forbade the marriage and attempted to never let Matt leave the house, so that he could never see her again, this was the last straw for Matt and he brutally beat his parents within an inch of their lives, his lover was touched that he stood up for their feelings, but they agreed to not get married yet.

Years later, Matt's parents were killed in a double homicide, Matt snuck around his father's office, finding a secret collection of masks and weapons, he used the masks to commit crimes and became a master of disguise and a sinister crime boss.

After a year of being a feared crime boss, Strictland took on the alias of 'Face'. One day, while Matt was out, he recieved a text from his lover about several threats from someone called 'S', attempting to keep her safe, he let her hide out at his apartment, worrying about this 'S' person, Matt sent a decoy into his apartment, where the decoy was killed, while Matt snuck in through the back window, attempting to figure out who 'S' was, but, he realised that his lover was tied to the ceiling, presumably dead, the shock caused 'S' to catch Matt and take him away.

Red Ryder investigated the crime scene, finding out that Matt's girlfriend is actually still alive. Later, Ryder finds Face at the bank with several hostages, asking about someone called 'S', but a henchman pulls a sack off of one of the hostages and reveals him to be the real Matt Strickland, the imposter reveals himself to be 'S', a man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and a blue suit, who's real name is 'Saggi'. While Saggi escapes, with several hostages, Ryder is able to save Matt and reveal to him that his girlfriend is alive, Ryder takes Matt to the hospital where his girlfriend is, Matt is relieved that his girlfriend is alive, but decides to get revenge on Saggi.

On most occasions, Face has been a villain, but on some occasions, he has been an ally.
