== History ==
It's unclear where Tag was from, but he was not familiar with the [[Unclaimed Hills]] during his time as a mercenary. He went there in {{Rosharan date|1173}} along with [[Bluth]] and [[Tvlakv]] as part of a caravan that was carrying slaves—including [[Kaladin]]—to the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa1|4}} Although Tag would sometimes abuse Tvlakv's slaves, he was wary of [[Kaladin]]; following an altercation over a destroyed map, Tag kept his distance.{{book ref|sa1|4}}{{book ref|sa2|6}}

It's unclear where Tag is from, but until recently, he's never been in the [[Unclaimed Hills]]. He goes there along with Bluth and Tvlakv as part of a caravan that's carrying slaves -- including [[Kaladin]] -- to the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa1|4}} Following the altercation with Kaladin over the destroyed map, he keeps his distance from the slave.{{book ref|sa2|6}}
  +
 
Some time later, Tvlakv's caravan meets up with [[Shallan Davar]], who has washed ashore after the sinking of ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'', and he allows her to travel with them to the warcamps. During that time, Tag drives one of the wagons -- either a slave wagon or the one with the [[Parshmen]], depending on the day.{{book ref|sa2|13}}{{book ref|sa2|17}} At one point, Tvlakv takes him aside to disuss Shallan. Tag is suspicious of her, and advises his boss to avail himself of her as quickly as possible. While Tvlakv doesn't heed his advice, Tag doesn't hold this against him.{{book ref|sa2|15}}
  +
 
When Tvlakv's group comes between another caravan and a gang of bandits, Tag initially advises moving aside and letting the latter go after the former, but doesn't protest when Shallan rejects the plan.{{book ref|sa2|17}} When the bandits attack, he and Tvaklv go to protect the other caravan.{{book ref|sa2|20}} He survives the fight, and continues to drive one of the wagons to the warcamps.{{book ref|sa2|21}}

As Shallan and Tvlakv part ways there, what happens to him afterwards is uncertain.
