Glurv is a deserter from the Alethi armies during the War of Reckoning.[1] He is short and overweight, with a swollen face, as if it were trying to burst through it's skin.[2]
At some point in his life, Glurv fought against the Parshendi on the Shattered Plains, but eventually decided to desert the army.[1] Glurv joined a band of deserters in the Frostlands which were lead by Vathah.[3] He was convinced to help defend Macob's caravan by Brightness Shallan Davar. She drew a picture of an idealized Glurv, and which prompted Gaz to ask her for one as well.[1]
Whilst investigating what turns out to be the Unmade Re-Shephir, Veil asks Glurv and Vathah to watch for a repeat of some violence perpetrated in Urithiru. They suspected that a bar fight which ended in a fatal head wound would be duplicated, when in fact the hanging of the Ruthar soldier responsible for the death was copied. Both Vathah and Glurv witness the copycat hanging their victim from an outcropping above one of the stone buildings in the Breakaway and jumping down into the market as the corpse twitched. Glurv pursues the murderer whilst Vathah finds Veil and fills her in, before catching up to Glurv who is waiting by the eastern tunnels the perpetrator ran into. The three of them follow into the tunnel, but Veil runs ahead.[2] He receives a medal from Dalinar Kholin for his help investigating the incidents, which he seems to enjoy gloating about.[4]
