What was Matt Rhodes' position before the 2023 restructure?
Before the 2023 restructure, Matt Rhodes was a lawyer who became a police officer. He is recognized for his leadership and driving skills in the police department.
Matt was formerly a Master Trooper within the San Andreas State Police. He was also once the Undersheriff of the Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office prior to the 2023 restructure. The past couple of years were difficult for Matt and his family; his husband, Richard Dark, suffered post-traumatic amnesia and forgot that he was married to Matt and had adopted children with him, the torment of his family by Norman Bones, and the loss of his son, Cody Sharp.
Just prior to the economic collapse, Matt and Richard moved to England so that they could settle into a quieter life after the hardships that the last few years brought their family. During their time there, Matt finally met his father-in-law, Charlie.
Matt moved back to Los Santos after he received an invitation from LSPD Captain Leonardo Slacks to be part of the skeleton crew rebuilding the Los Santos Police Department.
