=== Appearance ===
Moash is lean, though strong, with a narrow hawkish face and brown hair speckled with black.{{book ref|sa1|30}}{{book ref|sa1|14}}{{book ref|sa1|64}} He's born [[darkeyes]], with brown eyes which turn tan after he receives a full set of Shards.{{book ref|sa2|77}} Moash is a young man, potentially close to Kaladin's age.{{book ref|sa1|14}} He is tall and has a scar on his chin.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
Unlike many other members of Bridge Four, Moash does not have slave brands on his forehead. Due to this, he gets his Bridge Four tattoo on his left upper arm.{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa3|45}}
=== Personality ===
His need to see [[Elhokar]] and then all [[lighteyes]] face retribution consumes him and pushes him further and further away from friends and into the waiting arms of the [[Voidbringers]].{{book ref|sa3|84}} Eventually, as he gives in to Odium's power completely, he seems to lose any drive altogether, telling himself he feels no emotions even as he accomplishes his vengeance. In this period, he follows the commandments to seek out passion and follow the orders of the Fused.{{book ref|sa3|121}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} Although he continues to care for Kaladin, he thinks that suicide is the only way that Kaladin can be saved from Odium's torment, and in his own despair, urges Kaladin to kill himself rather than risk Kaladin joining Odium.{{wob ref|14165}}

== Abilities and Attributes ==
Moash is a skilled spearman, enough so to kill an attacking [[Fused]]. For a time, he also
He's also a decent spear teacher and commander, able to train a group of [[singer]]s before the attack on [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|51}}
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Both of Moash's parents died when he was a child. He was raised by his grandparents [[Ana]] and [[Da]], who both worked as silversmiths in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa2|44}} It was his grandfather who named him. Later, Moash would discover that
Moash chose not to enter the family business, preferring jobs that involved traveling. While he was working on a caravan for a few months, his grandparents became victims in the [[Roshone#Kholinar_and_the_Roshone_Affair|Roshone Affair]] that led to them dying while incarcerated in the palace dungeons. Moash ultimately blamed [[Elhokar Kholin]], who was then a royal prince but would later become the king of Alethkar, for their deaths.{{book ref|sa2|44}}

When [[Adolin]] tried to give [[Kaladin]] the gift of [[Shardblade]] and [[Shardplate]], Kaladin instead gave them to Moash, thereby making him a lighteyes in rank.{{book ref|sa2|66}} The Shardblade had a twisting vine pattern along the center of the blade, and the Shardplate, previously belonging to [[Abrobadar]], was painted orange.{{book ref|sa2|66}} Moash later had the Plate repainted to be blue with red accents.{{book ref|sa2|68}} His eyes started to lighten a week after receiving the Shards,{{book ref|sa2|77}} though he still did not consider himself lighteyes.
=== Attempted Regicide and Desertion ===
Moash became involved in a plot with [[Graves]] to assassinate King Elhokar Kholin, which was ultimately thwarted by Kaladin. Moash took his Plate and Blade and fled the warcamps with Graves after their failed attempt.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
They head out into the wilderness with a caravan of stolen goods. Graves intended to introduce Moash to the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]], hoping that bringing back a full Shardbearer could compensate for his plan's failure. A short while into the trip, they were attacked by a group of [[Fused]]. Graves was killed, and Moash attempted to fight with his Shardblade, but deemed it too unwieldy. He got hold of a spear and was able to kill [[Leshwi]], one of the Fused.
Upon seeing this, the other Fused

In Kholinar, he sat in on a session of the Nine, where he warns them that Kaladin will foil their plan to occupy Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|14}} Later, he was approached by Odium, who intended to break Kaladin and questioned Moash on the best ways of tormenting his former captain.{{book ref|sa4|i|4}}
