[edit] Biography
Born on Corellia in 31 BBY, Matt married Anii Degarienne, also of that world, in 13 BBY. Shortly after their marriage he joined the Imperial Navy and attended Carida Academy where his daughter Alexandra Winger was born. A few weeks before Matt graduated from the Academy, Anii was killed in an accident at the weapons factory where she worked. Unknown to Matt, her death was not an accident but a deliberate act of sabotage.
Matt took his daughter to his in-law's home on Janara III while he served in the Imperial Navy. Within two or three years he realized that he no longer aspired to serve an Empire that denied freedom and destroyed lives; as a result, Matt deserted. He returned to Janara III to discover it had been devastated by the Empire. Thinking that his daughter was dead, Matt sought comfort with the bottle and gambling after he moved in with his older brother Jamie in Mos Eisley on Tatooine. Jamie owned a speeder repair shop there. In 2 BBY, Matt met Captain Tere Metallo, a member of the Rebel Alliance. Matt signed on as her co-pilot on the Star Quest to pay off his debt from a sabacc game.
