'''Bluth''' was a mercenary in the service of the [[Thaylen]] slaver [[Tvlakv]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|2}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Bluth is described as "slab-faced" and having "eyes like beads of dark glass."{{book ref|sa2|13}}
== History ==
He was in service to Tvlakv while the slaver was travelling across the [[Unclaimed Hills]] to the [[Shattered Plains]] with [[Kaladin]] enslaved.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4}} On Tvlakv's orders he murdered a slave who fell ill when [[Kaladin]] attempted to save the slave's life.{{book ref|sa1|4}} He was afraid of Kaladin, due to his reputation from having a ''shash'' slave brand, as well as his reputation for having escaped from ten previous masters.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4}}
Tvlakv's group eventually comes under pursuit by a group of deserters. During a period of relative calm, Shallan begins drawing a sketch of Bluth—her first sketch of a person after being shipwrecked.{{book ref|sa2|17}} She was unsatisfied with the sketch, deciding that Bluth was a bad way to restart her collection.{{book ref|sa2|17}} She redraws Bluth idealized as a spearman in an army and shows him the picture: not as he is, but as he once might have been, a hero.{{book ref|sa2|17}}{{book ref|sa2|21}} Bluth later steals this picture.{{book ref|sa2|20}}{{book ref|sa2|21}}
[[Shallan]] was surprised to see that Bluth could read glyphs, although he apparently did not want her to notice this about him.{{book ref|sa2|20}}
Tvlakv's group eventually comes across another caravan that has been attacked by a second group of bandits. When the bandits attack again, Shallan orders Bluth to take her to the deserters, where she convinces the deserters to help them repel the bandit attack.{{book ref|sa2|20}} Bluth also assists in the defense but is killed.{{book ref|sa2|21}} As Shallan examines his body, she finds her stolen drawing of him and changes her assessment that Bluth was a bad way to restart her collection.{{book ref|sa2|21}}▼
