“You can't begin to understand the weights I carry, spearman. I can't worry about the lives of a few darkeyed spearmen when thousands of people may be saved by my decision.”
Brightlord Meridas Amaram is a lighteyes General for Sadeas princedom in Alethkar on Roshar.[2]
Head of defense in northern Alethkar
He is a highmarshal in service of Highprince Torol Sadeas,[3] and has to watch over northern Alethkar while his highprince fights in the Vengeance Pact on the Shattered Plains. Because of the continuous skirmishes at Alethkar's borders he is in permanent need of new soldiers. Eventually he comes through Hearthstone for recruitment. Hearthstone's citylord Roshone -- apparently Amaram's distant cousin -- commits Tien to be a recruit, which results in Kaladin volunteering for service in order to protect Tien; though Amaram promises Lirin to stint Tien's duty to be a messenger boy.[2] Amaram doesn't keep his promise, and Tien dies in his very first battle,[4] leaving Kaladin in a bitter grief.
Shardplate and Shardblade
Years later, shortly before the four years tour of Kaladin's duty ended, an unidentified Veden Shardbearer (later revealed to be Helaran Davar) attacks Amaram during one of these border skirmishes. Kaladin fights and kills this Shardbearer, but refuses to claim his Shards and gives the the Shardplate and Shardblade to his men.[5] Amaram, however, kills the survivors of Kaladin's squad before his eyes and take the Shardplate and Shardblade for himself. He tells Kaladin that, as a mercy, he will not kill him but brand him as slave and sell him, claiming Kaladin was a deserter.[1]
When Kaladin is a bridgeman in Sadeas's warcamp rumors say that "Amaram the Shardbearer" is on his way to the Shattered Plains.[6]
“'Were you with him when he won his Shards?' 'No,' Kaladin said softly. 'Nobody was.'”
—Kaladin's answer to Skar's question[6]
Honour is Dead

After the fight is won, Kaladin uses his boon to accuse and challenge Amaram to a duel. Elhokar demands Kaladin be executed for his insult.
