{{quote|I don’t know what I am either. A bridgeman? A surgeon? A soldier? A slave? Those are all just labels. Inside, I’m me.

'''Kaladin''' (<small>pronounced</small>
Only a few months later, Tien died in battle while Kaladin could do nothing but watch. Extremely depressed by this, Kaladin obsessively threw himself to his spear fighting practices. He was soon renowned as the best spearman in Amaram's army and promoted to the rank of squadleader and given his own squad. In Kaladin's final battle in Amaram's army in 1172, a [[Shardbearer]] tried to kill the Brightlord. Instead, Kaladin fought and killed the man and saved Amaram's life, but lost almost all of his soldiers in the process. Disgusted by the [[Shardplate]] and [[Shardblade|Blade]] that had been used to kill so many of his friends, Kaladin refused to take them up and gave them to one of the few surviving members of his squad. Amaram, however, wanted the Shards for himself and had Kaladin's men killed and Kaladin branded as a slave. Kaladin spent eight months under various slavemasters and tried to escape ten times. After his last failed escape attempt, he was branded with the ''shash'' glyph and sold to another slavemaster named [[Tvlakv]]. Tvlakv took him to the [[Shattered Plains]] and sold him to Brightlord [[Sadeas]]'s army, in late 1173, where Kaladin was assigned to [[Bridge Four]] to work as a [[bridgeman]].
=== Slavery ===
Kaladin spent the next eight months under five different slavemasters in harsh conditions of constant beatings and deprivation. He always demanded his wages be given to him as was required by the law, but the slavemasters always managed to cheat him out of it by charging for housing or food. He managed to keep his defiance and made ten escape attempts, even managing to get away a few times, but he was always captured and taken back. Around his sixth month of slavery, he noticed [[Sylphrena|a windspren]] following him around. He spent time with a [[Selay]] man<!-- named Goshel --> who told him about about the [[Old Magic]] and its ability to curse people under his fifth slavemaster. In his last escape attempt, he led a group of twenty armed slaves, but all of them except Kaladin died. According to Kaladin, he should have been killed for that, but finding him "intriguing," his master, instead, branded his fore forehead with the ''shash'' [[glyph]], meaning dangerous, in addition to the ''sas nahn'' [[glyphpair]] already there and sold him for a pittance to another slavemaster named [[Tvlakv]].{{ref|b|sa1|c|2}}{{ref|b|sa1|c|4}}{{ref|b|sa1|c|43}}
As a slave, Kaladin made ten escape attempts with ten successive groups of slaves. Sometimes he managed to escape but they always caught him again. After one of his escape attempts, he was branded with a ''shash'' [[glyph]], meaning ''dangerous''. He was eventually bought by a slaver named [[Tvlakv]].{{ref|b|twok|c|2}} Tvlakv brought Kaladin to the [[Shattered Plains]] and sold him to [[Sadeas]]'s warcamp. Kaladin tried to convince the lighteyed woman, Brightness [[Hashal]], who was responsible for the acquisitions of slaves to make him a spearman but was sent to the [[Bridge Four]] to work as a [[bridgeman]] in {{date|1173|EoS}}.{{ref|b|twok|c|6}}▼
