Ladies and Gentleman I have a crazy idea. That crazy Idea is, what If Matthias didn't come from some unkown village, to some unknown family who may or may not be related to Martin having an affair with mousemaid in the past. No no! Tis an idea I have, which no one has thought before!



What if Matthias was born out of the Laterose plant within Redwall Abbey!?



So what if Cluny was born, and in the "other side" where Martin's ghost lives, and where the Seers get their information, something, like an angel or a messenger tells Martin about Cluny The Scourge, and that Cluny is coming to Redwall, and that he must prepare now, now that he has set everything up for his Champion. What if Rose was a spirit attached to the Laterose Plant? That would add greater significance than to what it already represents. What if in the past, the original Laterose bush in noonvale devoured Rose's remains, and then the branch taken over to Redwall, and planted there still contained strands of Rose's body? And then the Laterose at Redwall devours Martin when he died and was buried.



This is where I think that all comes in, Since Martin would definitely know Cluny is coming eventually, he plans this to happen at the right moment, to have the Laterose plant weave flesh from both his and Rose's remains into a mousebabe: Matthias, and he would be born from one of the rosebuds just outside the Abbey. It would be miraculous, and it would explain why Matthias looks A LOT like Martin himself. One could conclude that he would be born just outside the abbey walls and found by travelers since Matthias came to Redwall as an Orphan in both book and tv adaption. It's safe to assume that.



I read Legend of Luke recently, even though I thought it dragged on for a bit, and Ruined the lore of Saint Ninian's Church, that book had an impact on me, and this theory of mine, I found that Luke said to Martin "If you do not have a Son, hide the sword and find one who is worthy." It was not those exact words, but the same context. Martin did just that, prepared the sword for his Champion, "I am that is" Ever wonder what that meant? Yes, Matthias and Martin are connected, but I think it's deeper than that, I think Matthias is a miraculous direct Son of both Martin and Laterose of Noonvale, as crazy as that sounds, I've explained to you all how my theory, that Matthias was born of the Laterose Plant. "I am that is" From the remains of Martin, Matthias was Martin, only in body, but not the same soul obviously. I do not think Matthias is a complete reincarnation of Martin, because that would mean they are the same soul, they are obviously quite two different souls, one living, and one who gives guidance from the "other side" or from Heaven.



I tried to write a fan-fiction about this theory, I have the first part done, which starts with a Mass celebrated at the Abbey, then goes to the Spirit world, where Martin and Rose meet, have some Romance, and decide it is time for the Champion "I am that is" to be born, to take on The Scourge. Then the birth happens, and Matthias' Adoption, I unfortunately ran out of time, but I still wanted to give my full theory on it, and just post this idea to the world, rather than me messaging the big names in the Redwall fandom about it, It is time I make this Public.
