Gav appears as a young boy in uniform, saluting Dalinar with all the earnestness he can muster. He tries not to look too eager, though his enthusiasm peeks through the discipline. The book gives no further detail about his life or what becomes of him.
Description
Gav is a young Alethi boy dressed in a uniform. He holds himself in a deliberate salute, working to look composed and properly formal. His eagerness gives his otherwise disciplined bearing a youthful, unmistakable brightness.
