Tommy Rose
Matty is the dishwasher at his bar. After his bar was trashed and he realized Matty was missing, Tommy suspects the younger man was involved in the robbery. When Matty's mother, Sofia, comes to the bar and mentions that she borrowed money from Niko "The Butcher" Borodin, Tommy agrees with you that Niko is probably involved in Matty's disappearance and the robbery.
When you and Trystan foil the Solonik Crime Family's plans and have the twins and Niko arrested, Matty returns to the Drunk Tank with you two and apologizes to Tommy. Tommy forgives him and decides not to press charges against him.
Niko Borodin
When you and Trystan go to Niko's in search of Matty, Niko admits that Matty does odd jobs for him, usually delivering or retrieving items. After Matty releases you and Trystan from the freezer Niko trapped you two in, Matty admits that his work for Niko was an attempt to pay off his mother's loan. Niko had found out that Matty worked for Tommy at the Drunk Tank, and told the younger man if he knocked over the place, Niko would wipe Matty's mother loan clean. The money Matty stole was a front, and Jimmy's gun and badge was a f-you to Tommy. The true objective was Tommy's W-2s, his tax forms, which Niko planned to give to the Solonik Crime Family to commit synthetic identity theft.
Matty believes the guys (the Solonik twins) that Niko works with are dangerous, but he knows where Niko meets up with them because the younger man had followed the older man once. When Vanya catches Matty outside their warehouse, he wrongly assumes Matty is with Niko.
