History: 

If he's a son of Hebe:

When Chase Sanders left for college, he had dropped a kiss on his mother's cheek and promised to study hard. He tried to keep his promise - tried for nearly three years. But when he hit 21 and began to realize that time was slipping past him, the promise was gone. Every night was the same for the boy afterwards - party with his new friends until 2 am, miss almost all of his classes because he was so hungover, and then repeat. At one of these parties, he met Rita Walsh and by the end of the night, the two had become close. However, while Rita saw them as an exclusive couple, Chase saw them as nothing more than friend with benefits. After all, he was too busy living and being young to be caught up in a serious relationship.

His longing to stay young forever is what attracted Hebe to him, and the two met one night during a party, with Hebe introducing herself as Haley. The two hit it off right away and later left the party together, the night ending with a one night stand.

If he's a son of Pandia:

Ever since Chase was a child, he wanted to travel to the moon. His parents originally believed he would out grow this dream, but by the time he was readying himself for college, no change to his plans was in sight. He went off to college with his head in the clouds and dreams of being an astronaunt. While he was achieving his bachelor's degree in engineering and biological science, he met Rita and fell in love. He originally didn't want to be distracted by a relationship with Rita, but he couldn't help himself.

Four years after entering the college and only a few days before his final exams, his friends noticed how stressed and isolated he had come. Desperate to help him relax, they decided to take him out to the local bar. Even though he whined and protested at first, Chase ended up getting totally and utterly wasted. It was then that he met Pandia. Too drunk to even remember his name, Chase ended up sleeping with Pandia - an event he would later forget about.

If he's a son of Ariadne: 

Chase was destined to be a coal miner like his father from the moment he took his first breath. He took the necessary classes, completed the necessary hours, did everything he could to make his father proud. At the age of eighteen, he finally took his place in the underground mines. And Chase worked hard. Ten hour days, five days a week, in a cold, dark, confusing labyrinth. And when he wasn't in the mines, he was sleeping - making it so that he barely had any time for his high school sweetheart, Rita.

It was down in the mine that he first met Ariadne. In a very confusing part of the mine, he had gotten lost and just as he was about to radio for help, he saw a beautiful lady, who beckoned for him to follow. She silently lead him out of the mine before disappearing when he turned away. Chase was curious about the mysterious woman and continued to visit the spot where he saw her. The two met many times after that, each time leaving Chase more and more attracted to her.

Their last meeting ended with the two sleeping together, but Ariadne disappeared afterwards, leaving Chase heartbroken.

For all:

Nine months later, Chase heard a knock on his door and when he opened it, he found a newborn in a wicker basket. There was a note that had been left pinned to the blanket that explained that the baby was his. Chase was shocked and Rita was heartbroken that her boyfriend has been unfaithful, but she had always been too forgiving and she explained that she would help raise the boy with Chase.

However, Chase wanted nothing to do with the baby, stating that he wasn't ready to be a father and that they should just give him up. Rita, not wanting the baby to be left in foster care for years, left Chase and formally adopted the baby boy - who she named Mathias after her great-grandfather. Chase never tried to contact either of them afterwards, seemingly content with his life.

Despite having no blood relations to Matt, she treated him like her own son, spoiling him as much as she could. Matt had just turned two, Rita moved from Colorado to New York to be closer to her parents. There, she met Micah Grey and fell in love once more. Micah's presence wasn't only good for Rita - it was also good for Matt, who saw the man as a father figure. When Matt was five, the two got married and Matt took his step father's last name. A year later, they welcomed their first child together: Olivia.

It was around this time that Matt began complaining of nightmares and of monsters chasing him in the middle of the night. Micah and Rita worried this was a sign of them spending too much time with Olivia and of Matt needing more attention. Slowly the complaints went away, but sometimes, when Matt walked to school, he'd see odd things following him. He'd never tell his parents - thinking that they were nothing but his imagination. He'd leave the tall tales to his younger siblings.

Once he began middle school, he met Liam Thorn, a boy who was almost always on crutches and complaining of a strained ankle. The two were close friends throughout the years, but after Matt's 13th birthday, he noticed how anxious Liam always looked. Originally Matt thought he was just being his worry wart self, but whenever he questioned it, the other boy would get defensive and snap, so he knew something was wrong. But just because he didn't question him further didn't meant he forgot about it - especially as his 14th birthday drew closer and closer, and Liam fidgeted more and more.

While Liam was over at his house for his birthday party, a glowing symbol appeared over Matt's head - shocking both of the boys. Liam grabbed him and ran downstairs - which shocked Matt further as the boy didn't even need his crutches. Liam tried to get Rita to drive them to a certain address, but when he failed to give her a reason, she denied, telling the boys to explain.

Liam explained quickly and quietly, like he was afraid of being heard by someone else. He told them that Matt's real mother was a goddess - Hebe/Pandia/Ariadne to be exact - and that as a demigod, monsters were just itching to rip him to shreds. Matt was shocked by this - until that point, he had thought Rita was his real mother. Rita had never wanted Matt to know and she tearfully apologized before asking Liam for proof. His proof was him taking his pants off and revealing his goat legs, telling them that he was a satyr sent there to protect Matt.

With the goat legs seeming like good enough proof to her and the threat of danger, Rita grabbed her keys and told her husband she'd be back, before taking the boys with her. She drove to the address and paused, telling Matt that even if she was his adoptive mother, her love for him was real. Matt barely had time to tell her that he loved her before Liam was shoving him out of the car and up a large hill.

The two made it up the hill and through the gates without incident. And while Matt was surrounded by those just like him, he had never felt more alone at the camp. He struggled with the idea of Rita not being his real mother, having new siblings he never even knew about, and that he had never even meet his real parents and would probably never meet them.

After spending a year at camp, he left, prepared to defend himself. He tried to evenly spilt his time between his home and the camp, especially to care for his younger siblings, but ended up staying longer at home, finding more comfort there. Recently while he was staying, however, he was attacked by a hellhound and, even if he managed to kill it before it hurt his family, he was still cut by its claws, leaving a scar along his ribcage.

He then realized that by staying with his family so much, he was just putting them in more danger and left home for Camp Half-Blood.

Weapons: Bow and arrows and small knife, both of which he found at camp
