Includes SPOILERS for The Wheel of Time season 3 finale and spoilers from the book series.
Wheel of Time characters' stories to predict for season 4, Mat is the most challenging to pin down. He's consistently deviated from his book counterpart, especially in season 3, with him traveling to Tanchico instead of the Aiel Waste, putting him on a curious path going forward.
In Eelfinn grants him three wishes: to be rid of Aes Sedai and the One Power, to clear his added memories from the Horn of Valere, and to leave the Eelfinn's dimension.
Compulsion Won't Work On Mat In The Wheel Of Time Season 4
The Forsaken Can't Use This Powerful Ability On Mat
The Eelfinn bestowed upon Mat a silver foxhead medallion, which possesses powerful magical properties, answering his wish to be protected from the One Power. While wearing this medallion, the power of Compulsion won't work on him, giving him a significant advantage that his friends won't have. We saw Moghedien use Compulsion on Nynaeve and Elayne in The Wheel of Time season 3, episode 6, so the TV series has already begun demonstrating its potential.
Surprise Forsaken Death Removes Almost An Entire Book From The Wheel Of Time's Future
One of The Wheel of Time's character deaths marks yet another notable change from the novels. Here's how it will affect Rand's future and more.
The Forsaken Rahvin was also introduced earlier this season, disguised as Lord Gaebriel, a companion to Queen Morgase Trakand. Rahvin is also proficient in using Compulsion, and given the direction The Wheel of Time season 3 took, Rahvin and Moghedien should be the primary antagonists for season 4. Season 4 will primarily cover The Fires of Heaven, meaning the heroes will be split in pursuit of the two aforementioned Forsaken. Mat's medallion will make him crucial to have in this storyline.

We don't know precisely which book season 4 will adapt, so it's hard to pin down what Mat's next story will be. However, because of the foxhead medallion, it makes sense to assume he'll be fighting one of these two Forsaken. Rahvin is the more likely candidate, since Mat is closely tied to that storyline in the books. Also, Moghedien is more of Nynaeve's nemesis. This could mean Mat and Rand reuniting and spending much of The Wheel of Time season 4 together, dealing with the Forsaken in Caemlyn.
