While playing through the Crimson Fleet mission in Starfield, there are several unique characters you’ll encounter as you work alongside these devilish space pirates. One character in particular can become a friend or foe, and that’s Mathis Castillo. He’s a pirate recruit that you meet during the Echoes of the Past mission.
Depending on how you treat Mathis, he’s willing to work with you in the future, and if you play your cards right he can join your crew. He’ll never forget his Crimson Fleet roots, though. Here’s what you need to know about how to recruit Mathis Castillo in Starfield.
Table of ContentsThe first and biggest decision you must make to ensure you can recruit Mathis in Starfield occurs at the end of the Echos of the Past mission. Delgado will ring up to your character through the speaker and directly ask for a rundown of how things have been going. Your character has the chance to share if Mathis has been helpful or not, and you need to say, “Thanks to Mathis’ help, we found some information about Kryx’s Legacy.“
This decision immediately shares that Mathis has been a help to your character throughout the mission, despite him consistently talking about how the two of you can ambush and take out Delgado. Thankfully, Mathis shies away from this decision, regardless of how much your Starfield character encouraged any of the choices. At the end of Echoes of the Past, Delgado decides for Mathis to join the Crimson Fleet, and when you meet Mathis in the Nova, he thanks you and promises to have your back someday.
