Mat = Odin?

There is no evidence that Mordeth was ever consumed in any way by Mash or ensnared by it.

Aside from his own thoughts?

 

His own insane thoughts you mean? These same thoughts that could just as easily be construed as being consumed or ensnared by the power he sought in the first place and not actually referencing Mash itself?

It quite simply doesn't make sense your way. Mash was created AFTER Mordeth corrupted Arihdol.

Perhaps he joined with his creation but he certainly wasn't consumed or ensnared by it.

 

And it wasn't just any soul that would allow Mordeth to escape SL, RJ stated flat out that it was Fain's unique, DO directly touched soul that made it possible.

Nope. That's what allowed Fain to escape unscathed, not what allowed Mordeth to escape. He could have escaped just as easily on Mat, or Rand, if they'd escorted him to the walls. Since Fain is Fain, and he's been molded already by the Dark One, he retained control of his body and absorbed Mordeth into himself. Anyone else would likely have been forced to vacate the premises.

 

This is based on? What Moiraine said again? Mordeth wasn't even trying to lead the boys out of the City. Quite the opposite, he led them further into the City. In fact, it's my belief that he couldn't leave the city at all with their souls and only wanted them to take pieces of the city out to spread the corruption. If Rand hadn't of noticed his lack of a shadow, that's exactly what they would have done.

Yeah I thought so

 

Seriously though, I think you're giving too much weight to Mo's speculation and not enough to what we have been told OOC.
