Matt Cody is a people person and a diplomat, genuinely wanting to learn more about people, cultures and alien races. Cody’s innate skill involves understanding a person’s interests, motivations, family details and history which in turn gives him a truly perceptive insight into an individual’s personality and what makes them tick. His promotion to commodore tore him away from his beloved starship centre seat but provided him with the opportunity to improve situations within his new sphere of influence as Deputy Director, Starfleet Command School. A return to active operations has seen Cody take up the position of Deputy Commander Task Force 38 within Starfleet's Fourth Fleet, followed by promotion to rear admiral as Commander Task Force 38 & Director, Delta Exploration Initiative.
