Baon
He is a skilled soldier and marksman, and usually carries firearms. Fearing that relying on sunglasses would put him at a disadvantage in a fight, Baon stopped wearing his spectacles once their party started crossing the [[Kerla]], to force himself to adjust the sun's brightness.{{book ref|ws|1}} He is very perceptive and skilled at reading body language.{{book ref|ws|3}}

Baon
When Captain [[Deral]] and his lieutenant attempted to sell their party to a [[Dynastic]] border patrol, Baon killed both of them to ensure that they escaped and neither mission was jeopardized.{{book ref|ws|14}} He took Deral's pistols for himself thinking that no one would notice them for what they were.{{book ref|ws|12}}
Brfore docking at [[Dosha-Har'Ken]], Baon noticed the unprofessional conduct of Khrissalla's military escort, [[Flennid]] and [[Torth]], and warns Khriss that they will cause problems. While in Dosha-Har'Ken, he covers their party's retreat from an angered [[A'kar]] when Professor [[Cynder]] tries using the [[Kerztian]] holy language to ask for information.{{book ref|ws|prologue}} Whie passing the outskirts of [[Esh'Ker'Losh]], he accurately identifies a [[zinkall]] as a pneumatic dart gun based on observation.{{book ref|ws|1}}

After Flennid killed their guide, [[Daazk]], and fled with Torth and the group's provisions of water and food, Baon and Cynder find [[Kenton]] unconcious in one of the Diem's tents at the based of Mount [[KraeDa]]. Baon noted that Kenton spoke to him in Dynastic while semi-lucid, and verified that he was being understood. At Baon's prodding Kenton showed them how to get water from the [[dorim vine]]s. Kenton then agreed to guide Baon and his companions to [[Kezare]], the capital of [[Lossand]].{{book ref|ws|3}} When their group was attacked by Kerztian [[DaiKeen|warrior-priests]], Baon used one of his pistols to kill two of the warriors and scare the rest of them away. When they arrived in Kezare the group parted ways with Kenton, who went to the [[Diem]].{{book ref|ws|4}}
They followed [[N'Teese]],
Baon
Baon accompanied Khriss when she intercepted Kenton at his meeting with [[Taishin#The_Lord_Artisan|Lord Artisan]] [[Rite]] at the Central Studio.{{book ref|ws|7}} They then returned to meet with the [[Lady Judge]] again on the Diem's behalf while Kenton was trvelling to the [[deep sand]]s. High Judge [[Heelis]] advises they meet with [[Nilto]] to help repair the Diem's reputation with the common people. He was present when Nilto returned Prince Gevalden's pistol and signet ring to Duchess Khrissalla. As they return to Lonzare, he advises her not to give the weapon into the care of Professor Cynder.{{book ref|ws|8}}
[[Jon Acron]] came to Khriss to express concerns about Baon's trustworthiness, citing inconsistencies in Baon's version of the events surrounding the death of Captain Deral and his lieutenant, but Khriss notes that the information is inconclusive.{{book ref|ws|8}} After Kenton returned from his travels, he meets with Baon and Khriss at their new accomodations in Lonzare.{{book ref|ws|10}} While they were leaving together to return to the Diem and look for the missing tribute money, the group was attacked by another group of Kerztian assassins. Baon reacted quickly, pulling his charge out of harm's way. He tried to draw his pistols and join the fight, but an assassin noticed him and kicked him, knocking him to the ground. Kenton used his sand to pick up Baon's pistols from where they had fallen and used them against his opponents. Baon recovered in time to kill his assailant by stabbing him through his heart with his side knife. After the fight Khriss and Baon go to the Diem to help Kenton search for the missing tribute money.{{book ref|ws|11}}

Back in Lonzare Baon watches as Khriss conducts experiments on white sand in her bedroom-turned-laboratory, he also takes the opportunity to observe the sand through the microscope and watch the demonstration of light emmission from sand, that Khriss believes to represent all of the colors of [[starmarks]]. Khriss and Baon then discussed Skathan's powers, and Baon admits that Skathan looked the same when he left Iiaria as he did twenty years earlier when Baon was a child. Afterward he accompanied her to [[Taishin#The_Lord_Admiral|Lord Admiral]] [[Delius]]' party and then retires to the servants tent to wait for her.{{book ref|ws|11}} After the party, while Kenton is investigating a disturbance at a worksite of the [[Khrissalla's_Journal#Lossand_Professions|Company of Masons]], Baon readies his pistols and prepares to defend Khriss should the disturbance be another ambush.{{book ref|ws|12}}
The next day, while he was cleaning his pistols, Khriss offered to make more gunpowder since Baon was running out of charges, if they could procure some saltpeter. Khriss then noticed that his pistols were, specifically, [[Elis]]ian officer's pistols and she confronted Baon about the incident with Deral. Baon admitted to having killed the captain and his lieutenant, then admitted to having been sent to Elis by the Dynasty. They were interrupted by the return of Professors Acron and Cynder, who dropped the newly bought saltpeter. Without saying what his mission was, Baon took his pistols and left.{{book ref|ws|12}} Soon after his departure Khriss began to miss his company, assistance, and advice; she regretted his hasty departure, without a chance to explain himself.{{book ref|ws|13}}
Later, Khriss confronted Nilto at the docks by loudly calling to him by his true name, Gevin. Acron, revealing himself as an assassin sent by Skathan to find and kill the missing prince, pulled out a pistol and moved to shoot Gevin. Baon reappeared then, and pushed a crate of fruit down onto Acron from atop a tall stack of crates, knocking the man to the ground. While he was talking to Khriss, Acron recovered and, still on the ground, fired at Baon, grazing him on his arm.{{book ref|ws|14}}
After Acron's apparant death, Baon explained to Khriss that while he was indeed an agent of the Dynasty, his mission did not conflict with his obligation to guard Khriss, and so he was able to fulfill both of them. He explained that his mission to investigate the threat the sand masters posed to the Dynasty was complete, since he could report that the sand required the sun to be charged and would not work on Darkside. Khriss asked him to retake his position as her guard and he agreed. Later, at the Diem, Baon explained the he killed Deral, who was a traitor and planned to turn their party over to a Dynasty border patrol, because it would jeopardize both Khrissalla's mission and his own.{{book ref|ws|14}}

The group went to the [[Tower (Taldain)|Tower]] to search for the missing [[Lord General]], [[Raagent]]. They found Raagent's corpse in the Tower's cellar, where he had been tortured to death by [[Sharezan]].{{book ref|ws|16}} On the way back to the Diem Baon theorized to Kenton that it was suspicious that one of his strongest supporters was murdered the day before the Taishin were to vote on the fate of the Diem. Kenton responded that he didn't think the Kerztians would do such a thing; but Baon maintained that if whoever was sending the assassins was really trying to disband the Diem, then killing a Taisha or one of Kenton's protectors would accomplish their goal as well.{{book ref|ws|17}} The next day he, together with Khriss, watched Kenton's duel with [[Drile]] at the Diem. When Khriss was distraught about how Kenton was being dominated by Drile, Baon told her that she must not interfere as Kenton chose this fight with bravery and she must not rob him of his sacrifice for his people.{{book ref|ws|17}} Baon was also present for the Taishin vote on reversing the descision to disband the Diem, since it was held immediately after the duel.{{book ref|ws|18}}
Two weeks later Baon, Khriss, and Cynder set sail for Elis, taking a few sand masters and three barrels of [[Investiture|Invested]] sand with them. During the journey, at Khriss' prodding, an unnamed [[Khrissalla's_Journal#Sand_Masters|Lestrell]] administers the test for sand mastery to Baon. To everybody's surprise, he succeeds with a massive release of power.{{book ref|ws|epilogue}}

'''Blunt''' was the nickname [[Ishikk]] assigned to Baon when he was hunting for [[Hoid]] at the [[Purelake]] on [[Roshar]] with other members of [[Seventeenth Shard|The Seventeenth Shard]].{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} He was described as tall and broad-shouldered, but lean and muscled, with hair that was short and dark. Ishikk believed that the name he provided, '''Vao''', was a false name. Baon was accompanied by [[Galladon]] and [[Demoux]].{{wob ref|10085}}{{wob ref|6683}} Baon joined [[Seventeenth Shard|The Seventeenth Shard]] sometime after the events of [[White Sand]].{{wob ref |1564}}
* Mucho antes de que se desarrollara el concepto del [[Cosmere]], Baon apareció como ''Doram'' en la primera historia que escribió Brandon.{{bws ref|its-here-2|It's Here|post|pre|date=2010-8-31}}▼
Baon wondered if there was something to the abilities that the Purelakers ascribed to their fish, but Galladon thought he had a tendency to believe in superstition. Baon also spoke [[Selan]] well. Two years later, the group had given up on finding Hoid and left Roshar.{{wob ref|14949}}

▲*
* Baon was previously called ''Bowen'' before the linguistics of Taldain were worked out.{{wob ref|9208}}
* Brandon once said that Baon was not [[Investiture|Invested]].{{wob ref|1564}} It is unclear whether this has changed, or if being able to master sand does not count as being Invested.
