'''Bridge Four''' is the name of a [[bridge crew]] belonging to [[Highprince]] [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]'s army, which is used to transport bridges so that soldiers could cross the chasms of the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|twok|6}} Infamous for being the worst crew, it does not have a stable leader until [[Kaladin Stormblessed]] is transferred into the unit.

'''Bridge Four''' is the name of a group headed by [[Kaladin Stormblessed]], an Alethi [[Knight Radiant]] of the [[Order of Windrunners]]. The group was originally one of the [[bridge crew]]s of the Sadeas warcamp in the [[Shattered Plains]], hence the name, but its function has evolved over time, becoming both [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s honor guard as well as a military unit within a battalion of the Kholin army, then later becoming a group largely consisting of Kaladin's [[squire]]s and [[Knights Radiant]] loyal to him. Despite such drastic changes, the members still refer to themselves by their original bridge crew name, and have even kept their old bridge with them.{{book ref|sa3|37}}

Under Kaladin's leadership, Bridge Four transfers to the control of [[Highprince]] [[Dalinar Kholin]], where it becomes a military unit, but chooses to retain the name of Bridge Four as an homage to its past.{{book ref|sa2|2}} In this capacity, Bridge Four acts as the personal guard of Highprince Kholin, royal guard to King [[Elhokar Kholin]], premier spearman platoon of the [[bridge crew]]s, and headquarters platoon for the bridge crew battalion.{{book ref|sa1|73}}

== Changes under Kaladin ==
Kaladin, still unaware of his latent powers as a [[Windrunner]], managed to survive the bridge runs even after several weeks, and eventually decided to protect other members of Bridge Four and become their bridgeleader.{{book ref|sa1|11}} Using both his medical and military knowledge, he quickly turned the crew around. His efforts in building morale and instilling discipline led to better organization.{{book ref|sa1|27}} He found ways to treat wounded crew members, saving many lives.{{book ref|sa1|17}} Soon enough Bridge Four was having the fewest casualties among the bridge crews. However due to Kaladin's selfish tactics in one particular battle, every other bridge crew suffered heavy casualties and the battle was lost due to Kaladin instructing his bridgemen to use their bridge as a shield. The other bridges were shot at more by the Parshendi. Kaladin's bridge was one of the only ones that made it to the chasm. Kaladin was punished but Bridge Four remained by his side even upon his near death.{{book ref|sa1|30}}

During the [[Battle of the Tower]] Bridge Four rescued Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]]{{book ref|twok|67}}{{book ref|twok|68}} resulting in Dalinar buying the freedom of all the bridge crews,{{book ref|twok|69}} placing Kaladin in command of all bridgemen that choose to become soldiers, and requesting Bridge Four as personal bodyguards.{{book ref|twok|73}}
Despite their huge gains, the treatment of the warcamp's [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] officers towards Bridge Four did not improve, and in fact even worsened. Kaladin started thinking of escape, not just for himself, but for the rest of the crew.{{book ref|sa1|43}}
 
   
  +
== Bodyguards ==
After careful and lengthy preparation that involved training the bridgemen to fight and obtaining necessary resources, and just when they found an opportunity to set their escape plan into motion, Kaladin and Bridge Four found themselves unexpectedly thrust into Alethi politics when their highprince [[Torol Sadeas]] betrayed [[Dalinar Kholin]] during the [[Battle of the Tower]], leaving the latter outnumbered by the Parshendi army they were battling. Being a part of the Sadeas army, Bridge Four witnessed the betrayal.

Bridge four, even as bodyguards, remain very proud of their bridge. Their tattoos that they get to cover up their slave brands say 'freedom bridge four', to show that they were freed by bridge four.

Skar and Moash were both tasked to focus on Bridge Four's bodyguard duties.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
 
 
=== Dalinar's Honor Guard ===
 
{{image|Facing off with the Assassin in White.jpg|Defending Dalinar from Szeth|side=right|width=300px}}
 
As Highprince Dalinar's personal bodyguards, Bridge Four guarded both the Highprince and his family. Dalinar was their top priority, as Kaladin believed that the highprince was their only guarantee of freedom. He made it a policy to always have a team, led by a Bridge Four lieutenant if not Kaladin himself, watching the highprince at all times, while the rest of Bridge Four guarded his sons or carried out other responsibilities as members of Kaladin's battalion.
 
 
Initially they were given [[Cobalt Guard]] uniforms, but they rejected the idea of being part of that group. They even mutilated their uniforms, cutting off the Cobalt Guard insignia, which was later replaced by Bridge Four's own insignia.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
 
 
=== Squires and Radiants ===
 
Members of Bridge Four started becoming Kaladin's [[squire]]s soon after he spoke the [[Order of Windrunners#Third Ideal|Third Ideal of the Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa2|87}} This gave them access to [[Stormlight]] and the [[Lashing]]s (Surges of [[Adhesion]] and [[Gravitation]]). Because of this Dalinar considered them too important for guard duty, so that was given to other bridge crews instead.{{book ref|sa3|4}}
 
 
From then on Bridge Four focused more on training their Surgebinding abilities, recruiting potential squires, and performing more crucial assignments for Dalinar. Their abilities disappeared whenever Kaladin was too far away, so Dalinar gave them the Windrunner [[Honorblade]] to use for training in such cases.{{book ref|sa3|64}}
 
 
At some point, [[Teft]] and [[Lopen]] bonded honorspren to become Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Other Bridge Four members may have already done the same.
 
 
Teft, who reached the Third Ideal as well, received squires of his own from another bridge crew, namely Bridge Thirteen.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
 
 
== Tattoos ==
 
{{image|Bridge4 Tattoos.svg|Bridge Four Tattoos|side=left|width=250px}}
 
Surviving members who've been in Bridge Four since the bridge crew days have [[glyph]]s for "Freedom" and "Bridge Four" tattooed on their person. The "Freedom" glyph is usually a mark of a freed slave.
 
{{image|Bridge 4 Glyph.svg|The portion of the glyph meaning "Bridge Four"|side=right|width=250px}}
 
In Alethi society, slaves are often branded with a mark of slavery on their forehead to make their status apparent to anyone who sees them. A freed slave is given a writ of freedom, but he could also cover his slave brand with a tattoo indicating details of his freedom in order to lessen potential misunderstandings.
 
 
Shortly after moving to Dalinar's warcamp, Kaladin hires a tattooist to give a Freedom tattoo to those Bridge Four members who'd been slaves. The first one to get it, [[Hobber]], insists on having glyphs for "Bridge Four" added to the tattoo as well, as a statement of loyalty and gratitude towards Bridge Four. The rest of the former slaves copy him. As a gesture of solidarity, even those who didn't have the slave brand request for the same tattoo as well, although [[Moash]] opts to have the tattoo placed on his left shoulder instead of his forehead.{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa3|45}}
 
 
Somehow the ink keeps on melting away from Kaladin's forehead when it is his turn to be tattooed. This is why Kaladin, whose own slave brand has not been healed even after using [[Stormlight]] for so long, does not have the tattoos. The reason for this is not completely certain. After speaking the Fourth Ideal, Kaladin's father notices that his scars are falling off as scabs, leaving clean smooth skin behind.

Puente Cuatro
Bridge Four Badge.svg
Mundo de origen Roshar

Bridge Four is the name of a bridge crew belonging to Highprince Sadeas's army, which is used to transport bridges so that soldiers could cross the chasms of the Shattered Plains.[1] Infamous for being the worst crew, it does not have a stable leader until Kaladin Stormblessed is transferred into the unit.

Under Kaladin's leadership, Bridge Four transfers to the control of Highprince Dalinar Kholin, where it becomes a military unit, but chooses to retain the name of Bridge Four as an homage to its past.[2] In this capacity, Bridge Four acts as the personal guard of Highprince Kholin, royal guard to King Elhokar Kholin, premier spearman platoon of the bridge crews, and headquarters platoon for the bridge crew battalion.[3]

Their insignia, designed by Kaladin, is made up of the glyph vev (meaning the number four) suspended above the glyph gesheh (meaning bridge), stylized as a bridge spanning a chasm.[4][Falta cita]

History

Notorious for its bad luck, Bridge Four seldom kept a bridgeleader for more than a few days[1] and almost always took the highest casualties on bridge runs.[5]

A transfer to Bridge Four was often used as a punishment for bridgemen,[6] and the existence of a group worse off than themselves was a mental control used by Sadeas' men on the rest of the bridge crews. As a result of this, the bridgemen in bridge four knew that nothing worse could be done to them, and put no effort into anything. They didn't tell each other their names or anything else about themselves.

Upon arrival at the bridge yard in Sadeas' war camp Kaladin managed to earn the immediate enmity of Gaz, the bridge sergeant in charge of the bridge crews, who then placed him in Bridge Four.

Changes under Kaladin

Kaladin spent several weeks in the bridge crew before deciding to give leading and protecting one more try.[6] Once the decision had been made he quickly turned Bridge Four around, and through his efforts it became the best of the bridge crews, taking the fewest casualties,[7] treating its wounded[8] and training for escape.[9]

During the Battle of the Tower Bridge Four rescued Highprince Dalinar Kholin[10][11] resulting in Dalinar buying the freedom of all the bridge crews,[12] placing Kaladin in command of all bridgemen that choose to become soldiers, and requesting Bridge Four as personal bodyguards.[3]

Bodyguards

Bridge four, even as bodyguards, remain very proud of their bridge. Their tattoos that they get to cover up their slave brands say 'freedom bridge four', to show that they were freed by bridge four.

Quotes

It appeared that he'd been wrong. There had been something more they could do to him. One final torment the world had reserved just for Kaladin. And it was called Bridge Four.

— Kaladin's thoughts after his first Bridge Run[1]

Kaladin had not been assigned to Bridge Four by chance. Out of all the bridge crews, Bridge Four had the highest casualty rate. That was particularly notable, considering that average bridge crews often lost one-third to one-half of their number on a single run.

As they hefted their bridge, a spontaneous round of cheering rose up from the other crews. "That's new," ... "Guess they finally realized what we are," Kaladin said. "And what's that?" ... "We're their champions. Bridge forward!"
