–Matt mocking Tyson in front of Percy in The Sea of Monsters | ||
Matt Sloan is a human and the school bully at Meriwether College Prep. He comes from a wealthy family.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Sea of Monsters
During the English exam at the end of the year (where the students were left unsupervised for an hour to see if they understood the concepts of The Lord of the Flies) he constructed many "activities," including a wedgie contest between the seventh and eighth grade, two pebble fights, and a full-tackle basketball game. When trying to give a wedgie to Tyson, unaware that he was a Cyclops, Tyson swatted him away too hard making him fly fifteen feet and getting him tangled in the tire swing.
He unwittingly recruited some Laistrygonian giants that he mistook for visiting students to his dodgeball team.
When the gym was destroyed, he told police officials that Percy Jackson was responsible for the explosion, something the teacher agreed to as he was so engrossed in his sports magazine that he just agreed with Sloan so he wouldn't get fired for not paying attention.
