'''Alaward''' is a member of [[Kholinar Wall Guard]], and is a part of [[Noro]]'s squad, Platoon Seven, Squad Two.{{book ref|sa3|73}}{{book ref|sa3|84}}

 

[[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 above the eight dahn, but aren't quite highlords, as useless. During a patrol, he insults Adolin, who was disguised as a middler, saying that middlers were, "Useless for anything but giving bad orders and eating twice as much food as an honest man,".{{book ref|sa3|73}}

 

Alaward, being a part of the same squad as Kaladin was recruited to, knew Kaladin as a fellow soldier. 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]].{{book ref|sa3|73}} Alaward is presumably there with Platoon Seven, Squad Two during the [[Fused]] raids. He is also probably present when Highmarshall [[Azure]] reveals how she supplies food for the army. Alaward, along with the rest of Noro's squad, follows Kaladin into Kholinar Palace and fights in the [[Battle of Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|84}} It is assumed that he dies, along with the other soldiers, in the fighting.
