Background
Mathies and his wife Indara Caerellia own and tend Corpselight Farm in Falkreath. The couple once had a daughter, Lavinia, but she was brutally murdered by Sinding near the town's lumbermill.

Mathies and Indara are first seen in the graveyard mourning their daughter at a funeral lead by Runil, the priest of Arkay and keeper of Falkreath's Hall of the Dead. After the funeral has completed they will resume thier normal daily activity, which includes tending to the crops at Corpselight.

Selling crops to Mathies counts towards becoming Thane of Falkreath, which will add the housecarl, Rayya, to Lakeview Manor if the player has Hearthfire installed.

Interaction
Mathies will buy vegetables for a small price.
