Reason for being on the boat: Fleeing after having an illicit romance with another young woman, whose father planed to kill him. Traveling to America to start over and pick up the pieces along with his little sister.
Short Bio: Raised in Paris, Mathieu's parents were reporters who did quite well for themselves in the city. However eventually things did get worse, they reported and spoke out on crime and problems in the city. To progressive for their own good, they were killed in alley late at night when Mathieu was fourteen. Being old enough to work, Mathieu took a job with the same paper repairing the printing press they used.
At night however he would study and work with the watchmaker who owned the store they lived above. Within two years he was making his own watches and had become rather successful, Lis had received the chance to learn nursing in London. Moving to England they siblings worked hard, however one of the Lords daughters took a shine to the talented watchmaker. Pursing him until he finally he agreed on one date, by the time the night had ended she had slapped him. Told her father she was pregnant and demanded to marry Mathieu, naturally her father did what any man of power would do he ordered the young man dealt with.
Collecting Lis, selling most of their goods, they have managed to purchase a second class ticket each. Now they must hope that across the ocean waits a new life, a new chance at starting over, and safety.
