{{character \|profession=Merchant \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] }} '''Macob''' is the head of a caravan of merchants on [[Roshar]].{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} ==Appearance and Personality== He is an older man with blue eyes and a beard. He wears a felt cap. [[Shallan]] is unable to place his accent, but believes that he is neither [[Alethi]] nor [[Thaylen]].{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} He seems to have a genial disposition even in grim situations.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} He is a high-end merchant and has a distaste for slavers.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} ==Attributes and Abilities== Macob is a trademaster,{{book ref\|sa2\|36}} although it is unclear if this refers to the title as used in the Thaylen tradition. Although he tries to negotiate with Shallan, he capitulates easily when she makes demands of him.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}}{{book ref\|sa2\|36}} He is particularly respectful towards her after learning that she has a [[Shardblade]], and he assures her that he can be discreet.{{book ref\|sa2\|36}} He is able to competently lead a large caravan that includes families with small children.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}}{{book ref\|sa2\|28}}{{book ref\|sa2\|31}} Macob employs [[Tyn]], an associate of the [[Ghostbloods]], as a scout and guard captain. However, she had recently conned her way into his caravan by exaggerating her experience,{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} and there is no indication that Macob knew of her other activities. ==History== During their journey to the [[Shattered Plains]] in {{Rosharan date\|1173}}, [[Shallan]], [[Tvlakv]], and his mercenaries spotted smoke coming from Macob's caravan after it was attacked by bandits.{{book ref\|sa2\|17}} These bandits attacked the caravan with firebrands, setting some of the wagons on fire and then pulling back (allowing the caravaneers to fatigue themselves putting out the fires) before attacking again.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} Tyn approached Shallan's caravan and informed her about the danger of the bandits. This led [[Shallan]] to convince [[Vathah]] and his band of deserters to fight on her behalf. They joined together with Macob's caravan and were able to defeat the bandits, although some lives were lost in the process.{{book ref\|sa2\|20}} Macob subsequently worked out a deal with Shallan wherein they would travel to the [[Shattered Plains]] together while under the protection of "her" men; in exchange, he would provide her with supplies throughout the journey.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}} The supplies included a [[chull]] and fine [[lighteyes\|lighteyed]] food and clothing.{{book ref\|sa2\|21}}{{book ref\|sa2\|28}} Macob learned that Shallan had a Shardblade after she used it to kill Tyn in self-defense, and he parted ways with her after reaching the warcamps.{{book ref\|sa2\|36}} == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 23:05, 9 July 2020 (UTC)}} ~~{{stub}}~~ {{Stormlight}}
