“And all the world was shattered. The rocks trembled with their steps, and the stones reached towards the heavens. We die! We die! ”
—Maps's Death Rattle[1]
Maps is a member of Bridge Four on Roshar.[2]
Appearance and PersonalityEdit
Maps is flat-faced and balding, and has thick eyebrows and a bushy beard. Although he is initially apathetic like most bridgemen, he becomes gregarious and well-liked, and is able to put other people at ease.[3][4]
"Maps" is a nickname that comes from a birthmark on his chest that he swears is an exact map of Alethkar, although Kaladin does not see the resemblance.[3] His real name is unknown.
HistoryEdit
Maps was among the members of Bridge Four that Kaladin met in his early days as a bridgeman. He was not one of the first to accept Kaladin's leadership.[2] However, he was drawn to camaraderie and soon became one of Kaladin's supporters.[2][3] After Kaladin's judgement in the highstorm, Maps gave a brief speech addressing Bridge Four. He expressed support for Kaladin and presented Rock with his razor; the other bridgemen appreciated him speaking up.[3] However, he was skeptical when Kaladin later brought up the idea of an escape attempt.[5]
Maps continued to become more relaxed and friendly around the group, and encouraged others to talk. He was among the bridgemen that figured out that Sigzil was a Worldsinger, and asked him to tell the men a tale while they were on chasm duty, much to Sigzil's chagrin.[4]
He died during the fifth battle in which Dalinar and Torol Sadeas cooperated, taking a Parshendi arrow through the lung and into his spine. Kaladin attempted to perform emergency surgery, but was unable to save him.[1] He was one of the people that Kaladin thought about before swearing the Second Ideal of the Windrunners.[6]
