o Heroes, His Holes Were Filled

by The Archmage: 1998-08-10 | Not yet rated

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Is Mat a hero reborn?

I don't believe that Mat is a Hero reborn. Aside from being Ta'veren, Mat's strength comes from the memories that were used to fill the holes in his memory. He asked the people on the other side of the twisted doorway to fill the gaps in his memory and they filled them with the memories of the greatest generals throughout history. Most of them from Manetherin. This ultimately makes Mat the most effective, not to mention lethal, general that's ever lived.

This would probably be the most likely scenario although Mat showed a predispotion to spew the Old Tongue before he went to Shadar Logoth. This of course is of the old blood of Manetheren, but that doesn't mean he has to be some heroes from that age. But then again, are new ta'veren spun out of the wheel or does the wheel just reuse them like LTT?
