Matrim Cauthon

"Fortune rides like the sun on high with the fox that makes the ravens fly. Luck his soul, the lightning his eye, He snatches the moons from out of the sky."

- Prophecies of the Dragon

"If I stab you, friend, you'll know that it is coming and you will know why. I promise you that."

- Matrim Cauthon

Matrim Cauthon was a young farmer from Two Rivers, a small town ignored even by its king. He, along with his friends, fled the village when it was attacked by the Dark One's forces. While they took refuge in Shadar Logoth, Mat took possession of a cursed dagger, making him paranoid and drawing out the strong Manetheren blood within him. After being severed from the dagger, he assisted Rand, one of his friends from Two Rivers, in unlocking his potential as the Dragon Reborn. They work both together and separately to fight the Dark One, and Mat gains the memories of ancient generals to patch the holes in his own.

Matrim then accidentally marries the empress of the invading Seanchan, securing their armies and alliance against the Dark One. He saves several cities form being overrun by trollocs, and gives up his eye to take Moiraine out of the Tower of Genji. Mat takes command during Tarmon Gai'Don, the Last Battle between the Dark One's forces and those who oppose him, and his abilities enable the Dragon's armies to find physical victory while Rand secures a metaphysical victory.
