Mat is Gaidal Cain. The Finns took Gaidal's and other men's memories and stuffed them in Mat's head.
I hope to post a theory on this soon, as I want to get as much stuff submitted as possible, before the prologue and full book come out.
Taim serves no master, not the Dark One, or Rand, and is just in it for himself. He will fight for the light in the Last Battle if he lives that long.
My first prediction is this. Rand will turn to the Dark side or at least in part. Let me explain. Nothing is know about the events of the sealing of the prison of the DO. It is meantioned numerous times by the Forsaken that in the infinite battles that the Dragon has always(or almost always) turned. I think he did it in the sealing. I think he will do it in the end.

Concerning the battle with the dark one.
<br>I believe that Rand will destroy the dark one for good at the last battle and the way he will do that, is as follows:
<br>At a certain time Rand will break all the seals and the bore will be completely open. At this point Rand will die, either by his own arrangement (probably with the help of that Seanchan wilder) or by chance. Rands soul will than somehow be forced outside the pattern (maybe through the bore) where he will face the dark one and defeat him by whatever rules that exist there (probably a battle of the mind/will.) I think that by doing so Rand will break the Wheel of Time and create a linear timeline. I also believe that Rand's soul will return to his body afterwards but how I do not know. (Maybe by the hands of the creator.)
<br>This I foretell.
Faile will die due and Perrin will see it as his fault in some way, probably due to his violent obssessive pursuit of her. Perrin will not fight in the LB but with the Tuathaan will re-grow the blight upon finding the Song...probably in a epilogue to book 12. Before all of this happens Perrin will be crowned King of Saldaea and committ his forces to follow Rand and then abdicate.

Moiraine becomes Amyrlin and joins the split factions of the Tower upon her rescue by Thom. Thom presents his letter in defense of Egwene at her trial or perhaps goes to the AS for help. Moiraine is rescue by Thom and AS and raised Amyrlin.

I think Siuan will be severed and then healed by a man in order for her full strength to be returned to her. I am a bit worried that the full strength that would return would be the reduced power that she has now...the damage could be permanent as she let a same sex healer try to reconnect her but I predict its not!

Elenia will bump off old senile Nasin Caeren, whereupon Sylvase (the new High Seat) will bolt for Caemlyn and Elayne's faction with Naean's letter pledging support for Elenia's claim to the throne as a little present for Elayne. This will completely shatter Arymilla's camp as three of the five Houses supporting her own are either destroyed, exposed as traitors or leave.

Lan's has the ability to learn chanelling but has never been tested. That's why he's so good with the void stuff. Rand starts to get him all trained up when at the last minute he is turned by a circle of 13 and 13. Lan becomes Nae'Bliss

Wins the last battle. ReCreates the wheel in his image. Imprisons the Creator in the Wheel and starts calling him by his real name Shaitan

He, Mat and Perrin will lose their ta'veren ability before the end of the series, due to "overuse" of it recently, as exhibited by the colors/telepathic visions they are all experiencing.
Fain will disrupt plans of both light and dark, and will be the deciding factor in who wins the final battle, rather than Rand or Moridin or the Dark One.
Shouldn't Fain have his own category?
Nynaeve will realize Suroth is a darkfriend, and help rescue Rand from her trap, taking out Semirhage in the process.

I think that following the LB, all of the AS will be forced from the mainland content along with the Kin and Wise Ones and remaining Aiel. They will be taken in by the Sea Folk. The reason the AS will be forced off the continent is that places like Tear (who hate the OP anyway) will jump on the Seanchan band wagon.

Split half Darkfriends half Dragon/Logain sworn. Logain will lead the fight at TG while Rand seals the bore.

Deposed thanks to Thom's letter. Remember Thom has to be there in Egwene's time of need.

Is actually Empress when she wants it. The veil is a structure in place that allows her mothers death to go unmourned so that the Return is not perceived as unlucky. When she lifts the veil she will be seen as empress. The Crystal Throne is actually in Randland and came with her.

Discovers how to "beat" the mainland Ogier's longing for Stedding.

One soul distilled across three bodies. Rand, Matt and Perrin. At the last battle they will all merge in a swirling light like an illuminators firework and some of the parts will die etc.!
