Born in Connecticut he enlisted in the Army right after high school. Allen developed a strong friendship with Garnett since boot camp. They always have a sly and sarcastic remark for every situation and seem to pride themselves on that fact. He and Garnett often sparred with Pfc. Leggett over who was the better superhero, Superman (idolized by Allen and Garnett) or Batman (idolized by Leggett). The two are seen operating a bazooka during the battle at "Objective XYZ", neither of them with any great amount of skill.

[edit] Road To Hill 30

Allen is first seen on the morning of D-Day with Garnett. The two always appear together during the rest of the game. During the flanking of a farm house with Leggett, Allen and Garnett were both shot dead. Leggett's survival drew suspicion from the rest of the squad.Also Sam Corrion didn't wanted to kill Leggett.

[edit] Death

In the mission "Buying the Farm" in Road To Hill 30 Private Allen, accompanied by Private Garnett, and Pfc. Leggett attempt to flank the farmhouse using a pincer move. While at the rear the three were ambushed: Allen and Garnett were killed, while Leggett survived. Allen is seen in a trailer for Hell's Highway lying on the floor with Leggett in front of him; when Garnett is sniped, he is enraged and runs toward a German soldier and stabs him in the neck with his knife. In Hell's Highway, it is revealed that Leggett actually got into a fight with Allen, which resulted in Garnett's death by a sniper shot to the head. Allen kills a German with his knife by stabbing him in the chin before he can react. Allen and is then mortally wounded by a nearby German who shoots him in the stomach. He falls on the ground due to his wound and crawls towards his M1 Garand while the German that shot him keeps firing at him. He proceeds to kill him with the M1 Garand. Finally, Allen kills a last German who goes to his knees in an attempt to surrender after realizing he has no more ammunition (that, or his gun jammed.). He apologizes to Leggett, and dies. Leggett then tells Baker what had happened in a flashback cut scene from Hell's Highway.

During a training exercise a few days before D-Day, the original leader of 3rd Squad was injured and the then Corporal Baker was promoted to Sergeant and given command of the squad. He is the main protagonist of the series. While a child, Baker received a Colt M1911 .45 pistol from his father with the words "To Matthew, brothers-in-arms" engraved on the left-hand side. His mother did not allow him to keep it. Many of Baker's squad believe this handgun to be cursed. He appears not to believe in the curse, but ironically he doesn't allow anyone to touch it.

[edit] Trivia

  • Baker and Risner went to high school together.[citation needed]

  • In "Road to Hill 30" Baker really looks like Eion Bailey as David Kenyon Webster from the series Band of Brothers[citation needed]
  • Matthew has a nickel-plated Colt .45 pistol from his father, which is engraved For Matthew: Brothers In Arms.[citation needed]
  • Baker was blackmailed by Dawson to tell the squad about what happened between Allen, Garnett and Leggett in Normandy, and does after seeing the three as phantoms at a crossroads later that night.[citation needed]
  • Baker earned the nickname "Bulletproof" for his ability to be very close to dying and then surviving. Examples like Purple Heart Lane (Baker was the only survivor who was on the bridge) Hill 30 (Baker is shot at by a tank and only has a scar) and in the Hell's Highway in the "Black Friday" which Baker is the only one who is not wounded severely when the mortar hits the cafe and "Five Oh Sink" where a sharp piece of shrapnel from a bridge barely missed him.[citation needed]
  • Baker's father died while holding his pistol, a pistol that is believed to be "cursed", since the death of most of his squadmates that have died have touched that pistol.[citation needed]
  • He thinks that he and Hartsock should write a book about the war.[citation needed]

Shortly after Red's promotion to Sergeant, Campbell permanently stays in Red's fire team.

[edit] Hell's Highway

Campbell plays a minor role and is seen usually with second squad. He is the first person to see Marsh die and he is very saddened of what happened. In the mission "Black Friday", Campbell is wounded in the neck by the mortar shell that wounds Baker and Hartsock and kills Friar, thus preventing him from speaking for the rest of the game. It is unknown as of now if this is permanent.

  • Campbell still has problems with the way Paddock acts, his attitude, and methods even though they've been fighting together for so long.

[edit] Hell's Highway

Corrion plays a much larger role in this game. Corrion has been fighting to stand out as a very capable soldier. He feels very strongly that he should be promoted to Sergeant and given a chance to command his fellow soldiers. Shortly after the explosion that severely wounded Hartsock, he was once again looked over for promotion by Baker. In the mission "Hell's Highway", he is shot through the chest. He is rushed to the aid station. He later learns of how Allen and Garnett died, and, feeling resentful towards Baker, tells him they will never fight together again.

  • Corrion's real life character, Cpl. Jeff Jackson, died of Lung cancer in 1980.
  • When Baker is asked to choose a substitute for Hartsock (that has been wounded) he answers "Paddock", so Corrion (which was hearing) asks Baker why he didn't choose him. Baker, still shocked by Franky's death, answers: "”My duty is to keep you alive, so you carry out my orders or die“. I heard you telling that to Franky."
  • Its plausible that Baker blamed Corrion for Franky's death, because he felt Corrion didn't do enough to stop him from going after the Dutch girl in Eindhoven.

Towards the end of the game the truth is revealed about what happened to Allen and Garnett while Leggett was leading them. According to the story Leggett gets into a verbal fight with Allen whilst flanking the farm. The fight turns physical when Leggett punches Allen in the face and kicks him repeatedly on the ground, while also verbally abusing him at the same time. Leggett's screaming attracts the attention of three Germans who shoot Garnett in the head, while he is holding the so called "Death Pistol". Allen sees one of the Germans and stabs him in the neck with a knife. One of the other Germans shoots Allen at this point, but Allen lives long enough to kill the other two Germans with his M1 Garand. While all this is taking place we see that Leggett is just standing idly watching the event unfold before him. Leggett then screams Baker's name until he comes and talks to Leggett, who tells him what had just occurred. Baker urges Leggett to keep his mouth shut about the incident on the basis that the squad members would most likely seek revenge against Leggett.

[edit] Death

During the defense of Hill 30, Mac repeatedly orders Leggett to get armored support, apparently to no avail. When a German tank shows up on the battlefield, Leggett went into a crazed rage and shoots at the tank with "The" pistol and screams "You want me? Fucking take me! Take me!!!" , before being hit with a tank shell that ripped open his stomach and face,immediately killing him. In Earned In Blood, Hartsock reveals that Leggett was indeed able to contact armored support, but could not receive their confirmation, and in RTH30, when Baker meets the tank commander who says they received the radio message, but got lost.

[edit] Trivia

  • In RTH30, Legget was the last squadmember to die.
  • In RTH30, Legget's first name was "Benjamin", the developers changed it in "Earned in Blood",however in the game manual for "Road to Hill 30" it does in fact say his name is "Kevin".
  • He wears glasses.
  • Legget's "ghost" is seen throughout Hell's Highway but only twice between cutscenes: First in the level Written in Stone showing his final moments and second in the level Rabbits' Hole when the player walks between a wall space, however he just appears for a few seconds and walks away.
  • In "Hell's Highway" a flashback shows him, oppressed by the secret Baker told him to keep, telling it at Pathfinder Dawson. Some levels after Dawson tells Baker he met Kevin near Carentan and that he knows that secret. That's why when Baker tells it to the other squad members, Dawson is not surprised because of this new, but because he thought Baker would have continued to keep it secret
  • His glasses also seem to haunt Baker as when he pick up an old pair of glasses that make him remember his final moments and when he was knocked down to the bottom of a river by a Flak 88 round and Kevin's glasses drift by, a reference as Kevin was kill by a round fired from a tank
  • In the ninth level of Hell's Highway(named after the game), Baker walks into a burning train station and comes across a hallway filled with the shredded and mangled bodies of allied soldiers. One of the soldiers is wearing glasses not unlike Legett's, bringing a flashback of Legett's final moments.
  • He dies on the 13th of June. There are 13 soldiers in Baker's squad.
  • In the Level Hell's Highway, you can see also in the burning station a glimpse of Leggett. When it turns back to the 1st Person when you cannot control Baker, you can see him in the corner flash a split second and then disappear.
