When Mat went through Rhuidean's doorway Ter'angreal, he asked to have all his memory "holes" filled in. In the Pattern, a Ta'averen is not a thread like another mortal, but more a string of many threads, those of past lives. The Fox\Snake People rep...

I think that Mat is a Hero Reborn because of something i remember reading on either this page or someone else's page. It said something about how RJ gives hints about stuff that will happen in the books by writing in small, seemingly unimportant rema...

I think that all of the ta'veren are bound to the wheel. So instead of new ta'veren threads being created the same ta'veren are reborn. Like Authr Hawkwing is bound to the wheel like all of the other heroes and maybe each time he is reborn he is ta'v...

I don't think Matt is a hero reborn anymore than Perrin is, they both have old blood in them, both are ta'veren, but not heros reborn. When Matt was in the doorway, he said he wished the wholes in his memories were filed, he did not specify with what...

If you think that mat was not lucky before going through the doorway, read the books again. Read the account where he is in Tar Valon. He's constantly winning at dice. He even remembers being lucky, jut never this lucky. And that is all before going ...

Bah, forgot to mention, another reason that Mat isn't a specific peoples reborn is that he has memories that overlap. His memories span about a thousand years, from the Trolloc wars to the War of a hundred years, and i believe it is mentioned somewhe...

I think it's a possibility that Mat is Artur Hawkwing, and don't see why everyone is so very against that. I just read a posting that suggested that Mat's memories come from the threads he pulled along the Pattern as ta'veren in a past life. Since a ...

Here's a point but not proof indicating that two people cannot exist at the same time. That is one of the current characters (Mat, Olver, etc) could not be one of the heros called at Falme when the horn was blown. <br> <br>People have suggested that...

If we assume that being reborn does not mean your are the same, could Matrim be this ages Demandred? Both were born the same week as the Dragon. Both were/are great generals. Both were shadowed by the Dragon. Both have a bit of a negative view of the...

I was reading some of the theories, and something dawned on me, what if, someone used the dice ter'angreal on Mat? But wait, there's more. After that first time in Tar Valon, Mat's luck seems to slack off a little. Maybe the ter'angreal started to we...

I believe Olver is actually Gaidal Cain reborn. In FoH, Birgitte says "I have not seen him (Gaidal Cain) for some time. I think the Wheel has spun him out again. It always happens so." Also, she states that "time here is not like time in the waking w...

I believe that Olver is Gaidal Cain because in tFoH Birgitte says "Gaidal is out there, somwhere, an infant, or even a young boy." Also when Nynaeve saw Gaidal in Tel'aran'rhiod she described him as one of the ugliest man she had ever seen. Olver is ...

Olver is that swordsman of legends. What's his name...... Ah!!!!! Gaidal Cain. Think about it He's damn ugly. I remember reading something about how Nynaeve and Elayne(and all of them), when they found the bowl of the winds, it said they also found t...

I'm not sure about Oliver being Cain, however you all did bring up some good points. My Theory however is that Uno could be Cain. The time flux seems to far off, but it is possible, not to mentions Uno is not one of the prettiest guys around. I don't...

Correct me if I'm wrong (or just ignore this) but Gaidal Cain is Birgette's partner, yes? I don't think Olver could be Gaidal Cain. Does anyone know for a fact how much time has passed since Brigitte was dragged into the real world? Olver would have ...

The theory of Olver being Gaidal Cain is interesting, but for it to be true one of two things needs to happen. <br> <br>1) At the current timespan the books seem to cover (I judge it to be about 2 years at this point), the series would have to go on...

To all who think that Olver is Gaidal Cain... I agree with you. Birgitte informed Elayne that time works differently in Tel'aran'rhiod. That Gaidal could have just been born or could be a young man. I don't think that Uno is Gaidal. (No offense.) Uno...

Ok, let's look at a few facts regarding this theory. At the time of Shadow Rising approximately a year had passed. Currently in the series covers about a two year time span. Birgitt says that Gaidal Cain has been spun out and is now a baby or a littl...

I belive Olver is Gaidal Cain Reborn. Throw out all that Uno bull. Now my theory will be kinda vauge since the books Im drawing info from have fallen apart and been trashed by my family members. If i remember correctly Moggy was captured in a "vacuol...

Ok, here's my theory, and it's a doozy. Olver is really Gaidal Cain. Mat's been playing the Foxes and Snakes game with him (which, if you remember, was patterned after the old agreements and was a lesson on dealing with the people on the other side o...
