'''Beld''' is a member of [[Bridge Four]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|worsa2|2}}
 
Beld serves as a member of Bridge Four under [[Highprince]] [[Torol Sadeas]]. He is not a slave, so this is likely due to some indiscretion as a soldier. He presumably fights in the [[Battle of the Tower]] with the rest of Bridge Four, although he is not mentioned by name. He is then freed from service under Sadeas when Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] trades his [[Shardblade]], [[Oathbringer]], for the freedom of the bridgemen.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
 
Despite the fact that he has never been a slave, Beld receives the Bridge Four freedom tattoo on his forehead, composed of the [[glyph]] for freedom, as well as the date of their freedom and the words "Bridge Four".{{book ref|worsa2|2}}
 
Beld also serves as a member of the [[King's Guard]], protecting King [[Elhokar]].{{book ref|worsa2|31}} During [[Szeth]]'s first attempt on [[Dalinar]]'s life at the [[Pinnacle]], Captain [[Kaladin]] sends Beld and [[Hobber]] ahead of the main group as an advanced guard. Beld is run through by Szeth's [[Honorblade]] and is killed instantly.{{book ref|worsa2|32}}
 
[[Kaladin]] remembers him, [[Jaks]], [[Malop]], [[Pedin]], [[Rod (Roshar)|Rod]], [[Mart]], [[Goshel]], [[Nalma]], [[Dallet]] and the squad, and [[Tien]] while trying to say the Fourth [[Immortal Words|Ideal]] of the [[Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa3|118}}
