Gaz
A petty bridge sergeant in Sadeas's army. Scar-faced, missing one eye, with a patchy beard. Treats those who irk him as expendable. SA:WoK:Ch 6
Known facts

- stops-gambling-only-by-staying-out-entirelyGaz tells Shallan he cannot manage his gambling with budgets — once he starts, he stops caring — and that the only thing keeping him out of debt this week is staying away from the dens altogether. The actual mechanism: Stargyle and Red went to every gambling den in the tower and threatened the staff so badly that nobody will deal him in. He counts being looked after by people who care about him as the thing that broke the loop where it had locked him into the bridge crews and out the other side as a deserter.SA:WaT:Ch 17
