If you’re raised in the mountains of Wyoming, it’s a given that you’ll learn the basics of survival as soon as you can walk or you’ll never make it to adulthood. If you don’t know the territory, don’t know the dangers involved and don’t prepare to survive or know how to survive if you get in a jam, chances are you’ll be found several weeks later, if they find you at all.

It’s no wonder that many Starfleet Special Warfare personnel come from areas like the wilds of North America and the Australian Outback. It takes a special breed -- one that’s used to being beat up, hungry, blistering hot or half frozen with their wits about the only thing left to survive on -- to endure the training and not budge an inch, never quit, and never complain. In other words, to survive.

One of many such people was Hunter Kal Matheson, and he’ll be the first to tell you he's not special. He is just one of a team.

Born to Tyler Matheson and Melanie Durant, from the time Matheson could reason he was determined to follow in his father’s footsteps. A career Starfleet Marine, Tyler Matheson served 27 years until an injury forced him to retire to the family’s remote Wyoming ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. As soon as Matheson and his sister, Jessie, could walk, their parents took them on forays in and around the range. By the time they entered school, hiking, camping, trapping, fishing, and hunting both small and big game had become as much a part of growing up as changing their boot size. The day Matheson graduated from high school was the day he enlisted in the Corps.

Knowing he would not be satisfied with an ordinary career, Matheson set his sights on Starfleet Special Warfare. Since the 21st century, all branches of the military had meshed into one cohesive unit: separate entities working together like a well-oiled machine. Cross-training was common, and Starfleet Marine Special Operations training merged with Starfleet Special Operations Training, under the already existing umbrella of Starfleet Special Warfare.

Recognized for his survival skills, his facility with weapons and wilderness vehicles, his drive and attention to detail, Matheson was fast-tracked into Special Warfare Craft Crewman School where he learned every aspect of Starfleet’s covert and clandestine Special Operations, including techniques and procedures for insertion, extraction, reconnaissance, combat, and the operation of SPECOPS specific vessels as well as modifications that could turn any craft into a more formidable instrument. Their style, their no nonsense approach, and especially their cool toys suited him just fine.

Upon earning his SWCC rating, Matheson was assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk, a Quick Response Vessel (QRV) in Starfleet’s Border Patrol. He is currently attached to USS Excalibur as Master Helmsman.
