Cenn is a young spearman in Amaram's army. He is looked after by Dallet and Kaladin during his first and fatal battle.
Personality
Cenn is young, inexperienced, and bears a certain resemblance to Tien. Before his first battle he gets nervous and exclaims that he's going to die, and experiences Dallet's gruff voice as comforting, but while fighting he acts brave nonetheless. He was a chull farmer before joining the army and is fifteen years old when he volunteers to enlist.[1][2]
History
After barely three months of training[1] Cenn got assigned to Gare's squad, but before his first real battle Kaladin bribed Gare to transfer Cenn to his own squad to be able to protect the young recruit.[2]
When Cenn finds his way to Kaladin's squad he gets prepared for the upcoming fight by Dallet, Kaladin's sergeant, who tells him to piss even though the army has already formed ranks. As soon as the battle starts Cenn is surprised by the chaos of a real fight, his training led him to believe that there would be more discipline and order in Amaram's army.[1]
During the battle Dallet keeps watching over Cenn, regularly pushes him back in formation and gives him some veteran advice.
After the squad formed a V formation Cenn was placed in the safe center of it, but later Dallet places him at the bottom of the V pattern, although Cenn did no more than just stand his ground.
An hour later Kaladin orders the squad to abandon the hill they were defending, but in the chaos Cenn gets separated from his squadmates. When faced by six enemy soldiers he still tries to make a stroke at the lead soldier, but gets stabbed in his thigh himself. His foe was about to kill him, were it not that Kaladin took all six of them down, and then Kaladin binds his wound.
When Kaladin attacks a lighteyed officer Dallet stays behind with Cenn and the other wounded. Cenn was starting to feel light-headed because he lost too much blood, and when the Shardbearer comes for them he just closes his eyes and gets trampeled by his horse.[1][2]
Death Rattle
Cenn hisses a Death Rattle before his death when Kaladin is kneeling over him:
“ He watches! The black piper in the night. He holds us in his palm…playing a tune that no man can hear! ”
— Cenn's Death Rattle.[2]
