However, he is also extremely steadfast and loyal, and has learned over time not to shirk from his duties, no matter how much he might grumble about it. For example, when he first discovered his ta'veren nature, he attempts to avoid his role in the Pattern, and only reluctantly accepts what he needs to do. Though he matures somewhat over the course of the story, Mat's core personality remains largely intact throughout his trials and challenges.Īt the beginning of the series, he's known to try whatever he can to shirk responsibility and work. Mat is often described as lazy, immature, tactless, roguish, and brazen. Later, after his last encounter with the Finn, he is disfigured by the removal of his left eye. Although he chafes at being dressed up like a fancy Lord, he also becomes accustomed to it and develops a taste for wearing 'a little lace'. In Ebou Dar, he finds many of his clothes replaced on the orders of Queen Tylin with outfits suitable for a 'pretty'. Shortly afterwards, he starts wearing his signature wide-brimmed black hat which he obtains from Hadnan Kadere.

After his encounter with the Eelfinn in Rhuidean, he gains a hanging scar, which he hides by use of a kerchief. He wears clothes typical of the Two Rivers for the first few books, but gradually dresses more flamboyantly as the series progresses. Mat's appearance varies throughout the series as his sense of fashion changes. He has brown eyes, which often twinkle with mischief, and brown hair that is long enough to reach his coat collar. Mat is 5'11' or 180 cm tall and weighs 170lb or 77kg.
