Whitney Haggis Matsumoto was a con man.

In 2068, Matsumoto became aware of Faye Valentine, a patient in cryogenic suspension and therefore having incurred a large debt. He claimed to be her attorney from Hagas Law Firm and pretended to take an interest in her. Seeing as she had a large debt to pay for her medical bills, he planned with her to fake his own death on the promise that she would inherit his assets. Thinking he really cared about her, she accepted, only to find out later that he was actually over 35 million woolongs in debt. Matsumoto disappeared and this betrayal would have a big effect on Faye's personality.

Three years later, Jet Black eventually captured Matsumoto for his bounty. Faye abducted him in order to get more information about herself and about what was real about their relationship. Matsumoto said it was Dr. Bacchus' plan, and that he doesn't know any more. Matsumoto had another kidnap attempt from Bacchus, but he was eventually returned to the ISSP, his small bounty collected.
