Ward

Ward  is the body guard in Rodrick Heffley's band, Löded Diper, and a minor character in the series. He is usually seen hanging out with Rodrick and his band members. He was probably Rodrick's best friend before he met Bill Walter, because when Rodrick met Bill, Ward was seen sitting on a chair in one of Rodrick's camps outside a concert entrance. Ward usually wears sunglasses, and and appears to have a large nose. His only action in The Last Straw is talking to Rodrick by phone, debating whether a person could vomit standing on his/her head.

Ironically, "The Old English" name Ward derives from an occupational surname for a civil guard/keeper of the watch.

He is 15-18 because in the online book he is shown attending highschool.
