Bio
One of the three people at The Wall that actually knows how to operate a tank.

Completing the Mission
At the beginning of "Pardoned Pals"/"Toppat Recruits," he is the very first Wall soldier to spot Stickmin and Rose as they arrive at the launch site on their Motorcycle, and warns Dmitri that the two are there as predicted. He then joins in the firefight at the parking lot between the Government and the Toppats alongside Dolan Torkov and Dima Pentsky.

During the "Controller + RPG" fail Matteo notices the slow-moving missile from the RPG which, buys him time to kill Ellie and Henry in which he does. Additionally, during the "Rope + Wings" option, Gurtchev is seen taking cover to avoid getting shot by Mr. Angery and the Toppats and Bill Cook and the Government (who are unaware of what, The Wall is). He also does this to try and fire at the two escaped convicts.

Later, he is informed about Henry and Ellie crossing the bridge by Ivan Petroteva and shoots the bridge leading to the Toppat Orbital Station and almost causes Henry to fall to his death which fails due to a Block.

In the "Pardoned Pals" ending, Matteo survives The Toppat Raid as he makes a cameo when Charles Calvin, Ellie, Henry, and the rest of the Government Forces partaking in the Toppat Raid retreat as the Toppat Orbital Station falls leaving most, if not all, of the Toppats dead. However, Matteo's status in "Toppat Recruits" is unclear as he is not seen onscreen but he is presumed to be alive just like in PP.
