Mateu Jordi debuts in The Shattering Peace as Earth's diplomatic representative, initially appearing in formal attire during routine planetary security discussions. His role rapidly escalates from standard diplomatic duties to orchestrating covert operations against key figures like Gretchen Trujillo, particularly in attempts to seize the Consu disk.
