{{sidequote|side=right|size=300px
Nothing at all is known about Hav's early life. At some point he joined the army, becoming a soldier under then-Highmarshal [[Meridas Amaram]].{{book ref|sa2|44}} Hav rose to the rank of sergeant at some point there. At least one of his responsibilities was receiving and training new recruits to Amaram's forces. In 1168, after [[Tien]] and Kaladin were recruited by Amaram, they were sent to speak with Sergeant Hav to begin their training.▼

=== Life on the Shattered Plains ===
Late in the year {{Rosharan date|1173}}, Hav accompanied Amaram to the Shattered Plains as a member of his personal guard.{{book ref|sa2|52}} Amaram moved into a temporary dwelling, and Hav tried to set up a secured perimeter around the building. When [[Shallan Davar]] attempted to sneak into Amaram's home in the guise of a messenger to do reconnaissance for the [[Ghostbloods]], Hav stopped her at the boundary, but she managed to talk her way onto the grounds. While pretending to be the maid [[Telesh]], Shallan sent Amaram out to speak with Hav, who she claimed had stopped the messenger. Hav was confused by this, as he had let the messenger pass.{{book ref|sa2|52}}
Hav's lessons made a strong impact on Kaladin
