General
Blaes of Matuchin was a legendary Hunter of the Horn and has achieved the status of a heroine in many stories. She is described as being golden-haired, lithe and beautiful (TEoTW, Ch. 17).
Thom tells stories of the Hunt for the Horn, including one of hers (TEoTW, Ch. 17).
Thom complains about Seaghan hiring actors for the roles of Blaes and some other heroes (TGH, Ch. 26).
Her stories are linked with those of Rogosh Eagle-eye and Gaidal Cain. It may be that she is somehow linked to the Horn like them and appeared when Mat blew the Horn to the fight the Seanchan (TEoTW, Ch. 17; TGH, Ch. 47).
