Titles:
Horn Blower, General of The
Band of the
Red Hand.
|
While in Shadar Logoth, he
stole a dagger from Mordeth with greed in his heart. The dagger, as
tainted as Shadar Logoth, embeded itself on Mat making him suspicious
and hating, until he was dangerous to be around and saw friends as
enemies. Before it became rooted to his bone, Moiraine helped him
to hold the taint away until he could be properly Healed.
The dagger was stolen from Mat by Padan Fain in Fal Dara. Mat, Perrin,
Rand, Ingtar and shienaran soldiers followed Padan Fain to Falme.
Here Mat re-aquired the dagger and blew the Horn of Valere to fight
the Seanchan.
Mat was taken back to the White Tower and was Healed of the Dagger.
This Healing almost killed him. During the Healing, Mat unconciously
spoke the old tougue, ordering men in battle. Afterwards Mat discovered
the dagger had taken away many of his memories, leaving holes.
He travelled from Tar Valon to Tear to save three stuck up girls,
getting no thanks for his troubles. Without any direction, he entered
the redstone doorway and visited the snakes where he was given a prophesy:
1. To die and live once more a part of what once was.
2. To marry the daughter of the nine moons.
3. To give up half the light of the world to save the world. |
