Matt

17 years old, he's a handsome, all-American jock (Jeremy calls him a "golden retriever") and Vicki's brother. He has known Elena her whole life and used to be her boyfriend.

He'd like to get back together, but he knows she needs time after the death of her parents and he's gentle and thoughtful about giving her space.

However, he can't help but feel worried that the new guy, Stefan, is going to sweep Elena off her feet before he can re-establish his relationship with her...
