We study the similarity classes of matrices in and the iterates of their associated quaternionic Möbius transformations. Building on the known elliptic case, we show that every parabolic or loxodromic element of is similar, via a matrix in , to a complex matrix. Explicit complex representatives and matrices realizing these similarities are constructed for the different types. We then introduce the invariants , and prove that they form a complete system of similarity invariants for matrices in . Finally, using the complex representation of quaternionic matrices and Chebyshev polynomials, we derive a fourth-order recurrence for a real sequence satisfying . Together with recurrence relations for the relevant matrix entries, this identity yields a complete classification of the quaternionic Möbius transformation associated with , including the degenerate cases in which .
