He takes new recruits ~~and fills~~to infill the different bridge teams due to constant loss. {{book ref\|sa1\|6}} He is also responsible for making sure they ~~due~~do their duties, ~~and~~lead ~~that~~them ~~they actually go on~~to their bridge-runs ~~when~~and ~~needed~~show them the way.{{book ref\|sa1\|9}} He had to make sure order was kept and that the rules are followed. {{book ref\|sa1\|617}} For some reason he has to pay back debts to [[Lamaril]], and the rates are so high that he can only manage to repay [[Lamaril]] by using the bribes that [[Kaladin]] gave him.{{book ref\|sa1\|30}} He is among the more antagonistic towards [[Kaladin]], often taking special delight in attempting to kill off [[Bridge Four]]. He does, however, accept Kaladin's bribes so that Kaladin can stay in control of Bridge Four. He was able to keep order by following several of the rules made for them. These were made to keep them down and despaired, but at the same time with simple encouragements like rotation of the bridge positions. One of those was looking down at the bridge group with the worst “luck” which was bridge four. When Kaladim joins and leads the team and changes the luck, it changed the balance and caused resentment. Kaladin convinced that to avoid being hated by others, he could change their duties to a harder task (stone gathering). {{book ref\|sa1\|21}} Gaz accepted but was convinced he had been tricked (which he had) and then increased the “punishment” to do chasm-duty.{{book ref\|sa1\|27}} He disappears after one of the bridgeruns,{{book ref\|sa1\|57}} which is revealed to be because of desertion. Later, [[Hashal]] takes care to deflect any of [[Kaladin]]'s questions regarding where he went to, as she did not want the bridgemen to know that even their superior had deserted. Lamaril was Gaz’s immediate superior. A low ranked lighteyes who was blackmailing him. Though Gaz had used Kaladin’s bribes to stay ahead of payment, Lamaril threatened to make him a bridgeman if he did not stop Kaladin and the changes in spirit of bridge four. Much to his disappointment he agreed and conspired to bring him down without making him a martyr.{{book ref\|sa1\|30}} [[Shallan]] encounters Gaz with a group of deserters in the [[Frostlands]]. She vows to give them pardons upon returning to the Shattered Plains if they accompany her there. Shallan's respectful treatment of Gaz improves his attitude towards his position and makes him extremely loyal to her. Upon returning to the Shattered Plains he receives his pardon and gains a permanent position as one of Shallan's bodyguards. He found the opportunity when Kaladin practiced with the bridge to the side. He knew disaster would come and encouraged him. When bridge four did use it in battle, though they did survive, the full Sadeas strategy got messed up and they lost the battle. Lamaril gave the order to beat him up.{{book ref\|sa1\|32}} The consequence of the battle went bad for all. Not only did they lose the battle, but also over 200 bridgmen died, Lamaril was executed and Kaladin was punished staying hanging up during the highstorm. Brightlord Matal took over Lamaril’s duty and his wife Hashal took command and became Gaz’s immediate superior. He was treated even worse, taking command and duties from him.{{book ref\|sa1\|46}} == Relationships ==
