||
| − | As a fourteen-year-old, Jost already had the body of a man. He had a broad chest and thick, stocky legs like his father's.{{book ref|sa1|16}} He harbored resentment towards Kaladin, since he perceived Kaladin's surgical training as an easy assignment compared to working in the fields.{{book ref|sa1|16}} Kaladin cites Jost's name as an example of a 'solid, Alethi darkeyes' names, unlike his own.{{book ref|sa1|16}} |

| + | He plays with the other children in the village, including his brother [[Jest]], [[Tift]], [[Mord]], [[Naget]] and [[Khav]]. He is the oldest of the group of children, and large for his age. In {{Rosharan date|1166}}, he gets into an altercation with Kaladin when Kaladin suggests that Jost's father is lying about fighting a [[Shardbearer]]. The two fight with wooden staves; though Kaladin loses the fight, he realizes how much he enjoys using a quarterstaff.{{book ref|sa1|16}} |

| − | ==History== |
||

||
| + | Jost volunteers for [[Amaram]]'s army with [[Abry]] in {{Rosharan date|1168}}.{{book ref|sa1|44}} |
||
| − | As a child, Jost worked in the [[lavis]] fields outside of Hearthstone with the other darkeyed children of the village, helping to keep the polyps free of [[diggerworm]]s. When they were not working, Jost played with the other children in the village, including his brother [[Jest]], [[Tift]], [[Mord]], [[Naget]], and [[Khav]]. Jost and the other children were bitter that Kaladin was able able to stay inside during the day, not realizing that he worked hard at his studies all day long.{{book ref|sa1|16}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | In {{Rosharan date|1166}}, he got into an altercation with Kaladin. Kaladin inadvertently made several comments that antagonized Jost, and [[Laral]] further agitated the situation. Jost claimed that his father should have been awarded a [[Shardblade]] after killing a [[Shardbearer]] in the [[wastescum skirmishes]], but someone else took the Blade while he was unconscious. Kaladin suggested that Jost's father could not have possibly won a Shardblade in the fighting since the [[Reshi]] people were not known to have Blades. Jost took this as Kaladin calling his father a liar, and he challenged Kaladin to a fight with wooden staves. Despite the fact that Jost had trained in the staff and Kaladin had never wielded a weapon before, Kaladin landed several blows and only lost the fight because he hesitated to hurt Jost. This was the first time that Kaladin realized how much he enjoyed using a weapon, and he asked Jost to train him further. Jost admitted that Kaladin had done well, but declined to train him, saying that [[Lirin]] would not allow it and that Kaladin should go be a surgeon.{{book ref|sa1|16}} The memory of the fight and the excitement that he felt while wielding the staff stuck with Kaladin.{{book ref|sa1|25}} |
