Brendan Luke William Matthews is a Wrayian Swimmer, most notably recognised for achieving four gold medals in his, and his country's, inaugural Olympic Games in Orean, Liventia. A powerful freestyle swimmer, Matthews led Wray to a remarkable 24 Olympic Medals in the games, and achieved somewhat of a celebrity status back in his home country.
Having played Regional Hockey for Western Territories at U17 Level, Matthews only swam recreationally until a knee injury put him out of Hockey for a season and he got into the pool full-time. He represented his region in the National Championships from every age since 17, winning a record 5 medals before his 22nd birthday. He moved to Denvargen, in Uitbregen, to further his training, but only remained there for 7 months until Wray got independence, where he played a role in establishing the National Performance Centre for Aquatics (NPCA), where he has trained ever since.
He plans to represent Wray in all of his events at the IX Summer Olympics this year.
He is currently engaged to Wrayian Equestrian athlete Rohana Mills-Murray
