BACKGROUND
Mat is often described as lazy, roguish, immature, tactless, and brazen. He is not afraid to flout any and all authority figures around him, and typically tries whatever he can to shirk responsibility and work. For example, when he first discovered his ta'veren nature, he attempts as best he can to avoid his role in the Pattern, and only reluctantly accepts what he needs to do. 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. He is also extremely pragmatic, shirking possessions or clothing that is not practical or useful. He enjoys gambling and drinking, as well as pursuing women, though he is careful never to pursue one who isn't open to his attentions. This love of gambling extends to a love of tactics, as Mat views battles as being the ultimate gamble. He is also extremely derisive of nobles or anyone with a "high-born" heritage, believing that, as a general rule, they all lack common sense.
