Appearance and Personality
History
Early Life
Dabbid was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, which resulted in an unspecified disorder. He did not begin speaking until he was six years old, and often got into trouble because he did things other people wouldn't normally do. When he was young, he put a rope around his neck to feel what it was like to be born the way he was, and didn't understand why people got worried as he wasn't going to hurt himself. At some point, his mother died, causing his disorder to worsen. Dabbid then ended up at the War of Reckoning, washing the clothes of a lighteyes. The man's wife accused him of fathering her darkeyed child in order to protect her lover, and Dabbid was assigned to be a bridgeman in Sadeas' warcamp as punishment.[1]
Bridge Four
In 1173, Dabbid joined Bridge Four, Kaladin's bridgecrew. The crew was expected to charge the Parshendi line unarmored to draw their fire and push their bridge across the chasm to provide a path for Sadeas' army. On one run, Dabbid was nearly trampled by a horse from his own side, causing him to fall to the ground, dazed and with a broken arm. While Dabbid expected to die, Kaladin and Rock dragged him to safety. After treating those with more serious wounds, Kaladin set Dabbid's arm with some Parshendi arrows and his shirt.[2]
Dabbid remained in a state of shock for weeks after the battle, jumping at sounds, but otherwise unresponsive. Sadeas refused to pay or feed any bridgeman that was unable to go on runs, so Dabbid survived off of food Bridge Four was able to buy by selling knobweed sap they secretly gathered while on stone duty.[3][4] Eventually, Dabbid was able to walk and followed others around although he still did not speak and continued to stare off into nothing. When Lopen joined Bridge four, he and Dabbid(who Lopen called "moolie," meaning "mute") began bringing waterskins on bridgeruns, carrying them on a makeshift litter.[5] Bridge Four was later sentenced to scavenge corpses in the chasms as punishment for surviving, and Kaladin used this as an opportunity to secretly train the bridgemen to fight so they could escape Sadeas' warcamp. While Bridge Four was training, Dabbid, led by Syl and with the help of others could not fight, continued to scavenge the chasms in order to meet their quota and avoid suspicion.[6]
