Living in the heart of The Ave, Chief Police Officer Matthew Augustine - originally Kyle Augustine, who changed his name upon moving to Central Ave - can be found hanging out outside the offices of the Central Ave Police Department. He lives in the spacious apartment he inherited from his late grandmother, who was his best friend for most of his life. Now, the rest of his family is neglected in favour of drinking and patrolling with his best friend and Police Officer Haman Acker..

Though definitely not as greedy or power-hungry as his best friend, Haman, Matthew is in a position to end the corruption inside of the ranks of Central Ave, and chooses not to. Despite not taking part in the dealings others involve in, he benefits from it, and he's not ready to give that up.
