Matthias, an abbreviated form of Mattathias, meaning a gift of God, was a disciple of Jesus Christ who was among those who witnessed everything from the ministry of John The Baptist to Christ's ascension. Although Matthias is mentioned specifically by name only once in The Bible, he most certainly played a prominent role in the early church after having been selected to replace Judas Iscariot among The Twelve Apostles, and he most certainly will, as the Scriptures below make plain, be a prominent member of the Kingdom of God.
The account of Matthias being chosen to replace Judas Iscariot is found in Acts 1:15-26.
The Bible mentions Matthias in Acts 1:3-26, but doesn't answer this question. Church tradition also appears silent on the life of Matthias previous to being elected as an apostle.
The word "disciple" is in the King James Version of the Bible 29 times. It is in 27 verses.

And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
