'''Beard''' is an eccentric member of the [[Kholinar Wall Guard]], and is a part of Noro's squad, Platoon Seven, Squad Two.{{book ref|sa3|73}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Beard's nickname is strange because he doesn't actually have any type of beard.{{book ref|sa3|73}} He is somewhat stocky. He tells outrageous stories, most of them involving some heroic action that he supposedly did. Some involve him learning a rare ability, such as his story about learning to [[Soulcast]] from the King of [[Herdaz]]. He is dejected when he learns that [[Kaladin]] actually knew [[Dalinar]] because Beard had several fantasies that involved the Blackthorn.{{book ref|sa3|81}} Beard doesn't believe there is a god, saying that he "Knows a lot about telling which stories have been made up.".{{book ref|sa3|73}} For some reason, however, Beard wears the [[glyphward]] 'Fortune' around his wrist during the [[Siege of Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|84}} Beard is of the tenth [[dahn]], the lowest rank of [[lighteyes]]. He views 'middlers', lighteyes who are above the eight dahn, but weren't quite highlords, as useless. During a patrol, he insults [[Adolin]], who was disguised as a middler, mainly mocking the extraordinary amount of color Adolin was wearing.{{book ref|sa3|73}} He also blames [[Kholinar]]'s slow disintegration on Queen [[Aesudan]].
Beard, like [[Lopen]], calls Kaladin by a slang word, 'Kip'. Kaladin hasn't figured out what that actually means.{{book ref|sa3|73}}
== Aquaintance with Kaladin ==
Beard knew [[Kaladin]], who was recruited to his same squad, as a fellow soldier up until Kaladin revealed himself as a [[Knight Radiant]].{{book ref|sa3|79}} Beard befriended Kaladin easily and helped Kaladin to become familiar with the [[Kholinar Wall Guard]]'s system.{{book ref|sa3|73}} Beard was present when Kaladin killed a [[Fused]] on [[Kholinar]]'s walls, and, unlike the other members of the squad, just grinned when Kaladin showed his [[Shardblade]] and ability to invest [[stormlight]].{{book ref|sa3|79}} Thank's to Kaladin's request, Beard and the rest of Platoon Seven, Squad Two was also present when [[Azure]] revealed how she supplied food for the army.{{book ref|sa3|81}} He followed Kaladin into [[Kholinar Palace]] and took part in the [[Siege of Kholinar]]. He was rammed through with a spear by [[Sah]] in the chaotic fighting.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
