Matt first appears in the episode "Happy Birthday Will" (he is not named in this appearance) being one of the  people who is helping set up Irma's house for Will's birthday. He appears again at the end of the episode approaching Will, smiling causing her to blush, takes her hand and leads her back into the party. Matt makes his next appearance in the episode "Divide and Conquer". Will believes that he likes her based on the fact "He's not looking at me [Will]". Will is angered when the Swiss foreign exchange student, Sondra, is spending time with Matt. Will unwittingly accepts a ski race with Sondra,

She hears Matt's Band "Wreck 55" rehearsing and begins dancing, she doesn't realise the garage door has opened and the band have stopped performing upon seeing her. Embarrased, Will claims she came over to borrow "Hedge Thingies!". Matt then asks her out to the school dance.

In "The Rebel Rescue" Matt gives Will a dormouse named Mr Huggles as a way of saying he likes her. He seems to use this as a way to see Will more often. He finds out Will gave Mr Huggles away because her mother wouldn't let her keep him, so she Irma took him, but Will felt she couldn't tell Matt because she thought it would hurt his feelings. Will kisses Matt for the first time at the end of the episode.

Matt first learns about the Guardians in "The Stolen Heart", when he accidentally follows Caleb and the girls

through a portal and finds himself in Meridian. After seeing Will in her Guardian Form, Matt considers himself a part of the team. After sitting on the sidelines and watching the major events in "The Final Battle" and "A is for 

Anonymous", Matt soon decides that he wants to help, though the Guardians (mainly Will) are reluctant to allow him to in case he is injured.

who transformed him into Shagon, the Angel of Malice, the leader of the Knights of Destruction. Shagon has the appearance of a muscular man with feathery black wings and a golden mask on his face and has the power to generate green light beams from his eyes.

In "U is for Undivided", Matt was made a Regent of Earth by Lillian Hale, granting him Shagon's powers but

allowing him to retain his free will, fulfilling his wish to help Will and the others effectively, but this time his powers are not based on the hatred of his enemies but his very own "Lillian powers". He now holds one third of the power of the Heart of Earth.

Chronology: Comic BookEdit

Matt sings and plays guitar for his band "Cobalt Blue".

Later on, he becomes involved with the events in the Fifth Arc, where Phobos's previous adviser Johnathan Ludmoore captures him. This lures Will and the Guardians to open the magical book which Ludmoore is imprisoned in. Inside the book, despite being powerless, Matt defeats Ludmoore by using the magic of the book itself to delete Ludmoore out of existence.

Stealing W.I.T.C.H.'s PowersEdit

Matt was given a supporting role for the Seventh Arc (New Power); stealing the essences of the elements and the Heart itself, he was presumed to be a villain at the start of the story arc. It was later on when it was revealed that he was moving under the Oracle's orders, asking Matt to prepare the Guardians

On the Italian website, Will blogs that Matt broke up with her and she is very sad about it.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Matt Olsen is only a human boy and because this he does not have magic power or abilities. But in the animated series, Matt is possessed by Shagon.

In "L is for Loser" Nerissa kidnaps Matt and Mr. Huggles and uses his hatred of her against him by turning him into Shagon, who feeds on hatred. 

In "M is for Mercy" Shagon attacks the guardians' families in order to increase their hatred, which he does sucessfully. He takes particular joy in taunting Will, as he claims her hatred is pure and that he's enjoying himself too much. He also claims that he is so bad he hates him self. Will tries to appeal to his better judgement, which causes him to flee. This is possibly due to Matt trying to regain control of his body and make Will aware of the situation. Shagon assumes Matt's identity (AKA glamours and pose as Matt) in order to spy on the guardians and cause Will to hate him even more.

In the episode "S is for Self", Shagon is in trouble of revealing that he is not really Matt when he Struggles to perform up to Matt's usual standard. Matt argues with Shagon that if he does not allow him to help he will blow his cover., calls out to him, thus gives Matt the strength to fully break free of Shagon and destroying his soul. Matt then uses Shagon's power to turn the tables on the Knights of Destruction. Meanwhile, Nerissa (who was watching the battle through a Fold) drains the Knights of their power (destroying Ember and Trident in the proccess) to fuel the original Guardians C.H.Y.K.N., reverting Matt and Mr. Huggles back to their original forms. 

In "U is for Undivided" Matt turns back into Shagon when Lillian makes him one of the Regents of Earth. However, he is no longer evil and feeds on hatred--just Lillian power. He can now control when he becomes Shagon and when he is Matt and is in complete control of his mind.
