Sigzil has dark brown skin and black hair, but no beard. He is considered average height in Azir, which makes him short compared to most [[Alethi]]. He has a [[Bridge Four]] tattoo on his forehead.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
 
Despite being incredibly organized and studious, Sigzil thinks less of himself for failing the governmental service exams in Azir. After [[Kaladin]] remarks that he believes Azir lost out when they rejected Sigzil but that he is glad they did because it means [[Bridge Four]] gained him, Sigzil feels better about the exams. Likely as a result of growing up in Azir, where everything is well-organized, he prefers a clear relationship between himself and whoever he works for, and is somewhat bothered by the fact that his relationship with Kaladin is not a simple one of a clerk and his captain. He also expresses a need to figure out exactly what Bridge Four's chain of command is in regards to Alethi affairs after the beginnningbeginning of the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|35}}
 
Sizil also has a judgmental streak, particuarlyparticularly around disorderly people and when faced with other cultures' less organized and burecraticbureaucratic methods. While he was Hoid's apprentice, Hoid tried to teach him to be less judgemental, and he tries to work on it.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
 
Despite his penchant for keeping this organized, Sigzil is not content with only being a clerk, and wants to be the "first into the sky," rather than spending all his time poring over ledgers.{{book ref|sa3|35}} He is encouraging and optimistic to his friends.{{book ref|sa3|46}}

He has sworn at least the [[Immortal Words#The First Ideal|First Ideal]] of the [[Knights Radiant]] and is one of Kaladin's squires, which allows him to draw in Stormlight and use the [[Surge]]s of [[Surgebinding#Gravitation|Gravitation]] and [[Surgebinding#Adhesion|Adhesion]] when Kaladin is nearby.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
 
== History ==
Sigzil was the first person in his family in generations to have a chance at passing the governmental service tests in Azir, which would have given him the opportunity to attend a "real" school, though he later came to consider that a "silly dream," since, as the son of a laborer, he had little time to study. Before taking the tests, however, he got into some sort of trouble and had to be rescued by [[Hoid]], who took him on as an apprentice [[Worldsinger]].{{book ref|sa3|35}}
 
Hoid and Sigzil appear to have travelled to many places on Roshar together, inlcudingincluding to [[Babatharnam]], where Hoid had to pay to have Sigzil freed from prison on three separate occasions.{{book ref|sa1|46}} While they were on the [[Shattered Plains]], he attempted to kill someone and thought he was succesfulsuccessful, though his victim actually survived. This event appears to be what caused him to be made a bridgeman.{{book ref|sa1|40}} Sometime after [[Kaladin]] joined Bridge Four, he believed that Hoid thought he was dead.{{book ref|sa1|55}}
