Nuke.  Nuke.  Nuke some more...  Save up a red chip or two and spend them on 
the roll(s) Mathias makes in rock Springs.

Is there a Doomsayer in the Templar's group?  If not, or even if there is, 
having Mathias become a running nemesis of the Templar could be useful.  If 
the Temp doesn't have a friendly Doomsayer to kill the Doombringer for him, 
he can keep getting nuked repeatedly over the course of many adventures.

Just make sure not to target the rest of the party as much as possible when 
dropping Nukes.

Alternately if you like, fudge a bit and use MIRV instead.

That's all kinda built into SAaS...  Non-damaging kind of traps and perils 
are a good idea in general.  Deep dark pit-traps that he can't crawl out of, 
for instance...  ;)
