== Appearance and Personality ==
[[Kaladin]] describes Alaward as a heavyset man.{{book ref|sa3|73}} Although his eyes are light, Alaward is of the tenth [[dahn]], the lowest rank of [[lighteyes]]. He views 'middlers'—lighteyes who are of at least the eighth dahn but not quite highlords—as useless. During a patrol he insults [[Adolin]], who is disguised as a middler, saying that middlers are "useless for anything but giving bad orders and eating twice as much food as an honest man."{{book ref|sa3|73}}
Kaladin describes Alaward as an Alethi heavyset man with obvious Thaylen heritage.{{book ref|sa3|73}}
 
== History ==
==Aquaintance with Kaladin==
Alaward, being a part of the same squad as Kaladin was requiredcame to, knewknow Kaladin as a fellow soldier in his squad. Alaward and another member named [[Vaceslv]] tried multiple times to get Kaladin to play cards with them, though; Kaladin declined, thinking of his experiences with [[Sah]] and the other voidbringers[[Voidbringers]].{{book ref|sa3|73}}
 
He belongs to [[Kaladin]]'s squad, Platoon Seven, Squad Two. Kaladin refers to him as being a heavyset man who tried to convince him to play cards with the squad, but Kaladin refuses because the experience reminds him too much like [[Sah]] and the [[parshmen]]. Once his highmarshall, [[Azure]], joined [[Shallan]], Alaward and the rest of his squad followed Kaladin into [[Kholinar palace]], and took place in the [[Battle of Kholinar]] once it happened. Because no further mention of him is made, he probably dies there along with almost all of the rest of his squad.
Noro's squad, likely including Alaward, was present when Highmarshal [[Azure]] revealed how she supplied food for the army.{{book ref|sa3|81}}
 
Alaward followed Kaladin into [[Kholinar Palace]] with his squad and fought in the [[Siege_of_Kholinar#Battle_of_Kholinar_Palace|Battle of Kholinar Palace]]. Most of his squadmates, including Noro and [[Beard]], were killed in the fighting.{{book ref|sa3|84}} There were a few survivors, but Alaward is not mentioned as being one of them, and may have died in the battle.
