“Mathieu Golovinski was born in the Simbirsk region of Russia in 1865 during the reign of the Romanov dynasty. His family, a part of the fading Russian aristocracy, provided him with a fragile social standing. He grew up in a leisured environment typical of families of that class.
His father, Basil Golobinski, died, however, when Mathieu was 10 years old.”

—  Will Eisner
