History

Moash joins the war assuming he would be made a spearman but ends up in Bridge Four. When Bridge Four starts training down in the chasms Moash is one of the first who changed into a fighting man. Later, on the bridgerun where Dunny dies, Moash probably saved Kaladin's life by keeping him from reaching Dunny's body and later told Kaladin that he was wrong about him.

Moash's grandparents, the only family he ever know, died in a dungeon in Kholinar in what is called by Dalinar Kholin the Roshone Affair. Moash blames Elhokar Kholin, the king of Alethkar, for their death.

When Adolin tries to give Kaladin the gift of Shardblade and Shardplate, Kaladin instead gives it to Moash, instantly making him a lighteyes in rank, and his eyes do start to lighten, though he doesn't consider himself one.

Moash becomes involved in a plot with Graves to assassinate Elhokar Kholin, which is ultimately thwarted by Kaladin. Moash takes the sword and plate with him when he flees the war camps with Graves after their failed attempt, and considers himself a traitor for having tried to kill Kaladin.

Trivia

• Though Moash's name is similar to Moshe Feder (Brandon's editor) it is not actually a cameo.
