==== New Citylord ====

 

Citylord Roshone's arrival brings misfortune to Kaladin's family. Believing that Lirin stole the spheres that Wistiow bequeathed to Kaladin, he influences the townspeople to stop making donations for Lirin's work. Since Lirin only accepts donations as payment for his services—refusing to charge money—his family loses its primary source of income. Tien starts working as a carpenter's apprentice while Kaladin is still debating whether he wants to join the army or become a surgeon.{{book ref|sa1|31}}

 

As they leave the mansion, Kaladin realizes that his father had, in fact, stolen the spheres from Wistiow. Lirin claims that the spheres were promised to Kaladin and Wistiow would have given them the spheres if he were lucid. Kaladin is humiliated and angry at the experience and his discriminatory treatment by the lighteyes. Though Kaladin is darkeyed, he desperately wants to be acknowledged as an equal from the lighteyes. Kaladin asks his father to call him by his full name instead of his nickname "Kal", finally embracing his lighteyed-sounding name and the dual nature it implies. Kaladin resolves to become a surgeon, even if he has to use stolen spheres, although he would repay Laral eventually.{{book ref|sa1|37}}

 

Some time later, Roshone and Rillir were brought to Lirin's surgery room with serious injuries that they had sustained while hunting [[whitespine]]. Kaladin pushed past the screaming Laral and entered the surgery room to help his father. They quickly assessed that Rillir was beyond their help and, despite the Brightlord's protest, started working on the older man's wounds. They anesthetized both the father and son with [[dazewater]], because it was the only mercy they had to offer Rillir. There was an instant where Lirin could have killed Roshone and got away with it by cutting the femoral artery of the already bleeding man, and both Lirin and Kaladin considered it. However, Lirin looked at his son's eyes and went on to saving Roshone as Rillir died. That evening, Kaladin asked why his father hadn't let Roshone die. Lirin answered that it would be murdering Roshone and that he wasn't a killer. He said the lighteyes didn't care about life, so he must. As Kaladin considered his father's words, he realized he would have killed Roshone if he were in Lirin's place.{{book ref|sa1|41}} The next day, Lirin spent one of the spheres from Kaladin's education money for the first time.{{book ref|sa1|44}}

 

 

=== Amaram's Army (1168–1172) ===

==== Tien's Death ====

Despite Amaram's promise to Lirin, because recruitment was slower than desired, the older messenger boys, including Tien, were soon organized into several squads of reserve units. According to [[Dalar]], these squads would not see combat unless the army was in serious danger. Less than four months after his enlistment, Kaladin took part in his third real battle. The enemy force tried to take over a hilltop Amaram's army was trying to hold onto. As the battle went worse for the Amaram's side, messenger boys were assigned to Brightlord [[Sheler]]'s company. Kaladin ran recklessly through the battlefield to reach his brother as the lines of Amaram's army buckled. On the southeast side of the hill, he saw Tien and two other boys placed in front of the enemy army as bait by Squadleader [[Varth]]. While running towards his younger brother, he killed a man for the first time, although he didn't get much chance to reflect on it in the battle chaos. The enemy soldiers took Varth's bait and killed the three boy, while Kaladin could do nothing but watch. Weeping and bleeding from wounds taken during his run, he hugged Tien's dead body until long past the end of the battle.{{book ref|sa1|67}}

 

==== Stormblessed ====

In his depression, Kaladin started obsessively training with the spear.{{book ref|twok|68}} His drill sergeant was surprised with how fast Kaladin mastered the spear and soon he was known as one of the best spearman in Amaram's army.{{book ref|twok|27}} He was promoted to the rank of squadleader, earning the nickname Kaladin Stormblessed for the first time. Kaladin's squad always lost fewest men of any squad in the army, which was credited to Kaladin's luck and his bribing the army's surgeons.{{book ref|twok|1}}

 

 

=== Slavery (1172–1173) ===

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 previous master branded his 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]].{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4}}{{book ref|sa1|43}}

 

 

=== Bridge Four (1173) ===

==== Decision ====

During his time in [[Bridge Four]], Kaladin grew more and more depressed. He eventually stopped caring about anything and Syl left Kaladin saying she would try to get back because she couldn't bear seeing Kaladin as he was.{{book ref|twok|9}} The last man from Kaladin's first bridge run died, and between that and Syl leaving, Kaladin came to the point of suicide. He went to the [[Honor Chasm]] at night. Before he jumped down, Syl came back with a leaf of [[blackbane]], a deadly poison, hoping to make Kaladin feel better without understanding what she was bringing. Kaladin found this oddly sweet. She convinced Kaladin to try to protect the men of Bridge Four, saying there was nothing Kaladin could do to make their situation worse. Kaladin went back to the bridge sergeant [[Gaz]], bullied and bribed him to become the bridgeleader and so Gaz would stay out of his way. That night, he learned the name of every men in Bridge Four.{{book ref|twok|11}} Next morning, Kaladin started training for bridge runs. He tried to get others to practice as well, but was ridiculed for the effort,{{book ref|twok|14}} though soon [[Teft]] and [[Rock]] started training with him. Kaladin started bringing back the wounded back at this point.{{book ref|twok|17}} Kaladin, Teft and Rock started collecting [[knobweed]] sap to use on the injured and to sell it so they could have money for supplies.{{book ref|twok|21}} Kaladin told Rock to cook meals every night and soon every man in Bridge Four accepted Kaladin as their leader and started training with him.{{book ref|twok|27}}

 

==== Side Carry ====

The training cut down their losses in bridge runs but Kaladin didn't feel it was enough. They started practicing carrying the bridge sideways so they could use it as a shield from the arrows.{{book ref|twok|30}} This, however, undermined the strategy of the army at the [[Tower]] and caused the army to lose the battle.{{book ref|twok|32}} As punishment, Kaladin was strung up on the side of a building facing east during a [[highstorm]] to be judged by the [[Stormfather]].{{book ref|twok|34}} During the highstorm he had a vision of an inhuman, smiling face of darkness that was as large as he could see.{{book ref|twok|35}} His [[Surgebinding]] abilities allowed Kaladin to survive the highstorm but he was still severely injured.{{book ref|twok|38}} It took him ten days to recover, which was found to be miraculous and people started calling him Stormblessed again.{{book ref|twok|40}} Lamaril was executed and his replacement Brightlord [[Matal]]'s wife, Brightness Hashal, informed Kaladin that Bridge Four would always work in chasm duty from then on. Kaladin realized that the bridgemen were bait to the [[Parshendi]] and knowing no matter how much they cut their losses it would never be enough, he proposed that they escape and started training the Bridge Four as spearmen.{{book ref|twok|43}}

 

 

=== Kholin's Bodyguard (1173—) ===

Kaladin promoted [[Moash]], [[Skar]], [[Teft]], [[Sigzil]] and [[Rock]] to lieutenants, a rank which is the equivalent of sergeant in companies made solely of lighteyes, because he needs a rank between squadleader and captain to form command structure for a thousand men.{{book ref|wor|2}}

 

Kaladin is a fairly tall man. He is muscular and has multiple scars on his body.{{book ref|sa1|6}} He has tan skin{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} and shoulder-length wavy black hair typical of an Alethi. He was born with dark brown eyes,{{book ref|sa1|1}} though after swearing the Third Ideal of the Windrunners, his eyes turned very pale blue that glowed while holding Stormlight.{{book ref|sa2|87}} Like most Rosharans, Kaladin's eyes have an [[Wikipedia:Epicanthic fold|epicanthic fold]]{{qa ref|979|86|Reddit AMA 2013}} that appear faintly colored amber when he is holding [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa1|38}} His face is square and firm with strong lines and a proud chin. He prefers to be clean-shaven but during his slavery he grows a long, scraggly beard.{{book ref|sa1|46}} He is branded on his forehead with a ''sas nahn'' [[glyphpair]] indicating his slavery and a ''shash'' [[glyph]] meaning ''dangerous''.{{book ref|sa1|2}}

 

Kaladin is a natural leader who makes people want to listen to him. Men of his squad in [[Amaram]]'s army called him lucky and believed they would be protected because they were in Kaladin's squad.{{book ref|sa1|1}} During his time in Bridge Four, he takes men who no longer care about anything and organizes them into an extremely loyal and well trained squad of spearmen. [[Dalinar Kholin]] remarks his men think very highly of him. {{book ref|sa1|73}} He has a strong protective instinct, especially over those who are defenseless. He joins the army so he can look after his younger brother.{{book ref|sa1|44}} As a squadleader, he strives to protect the men in his squad. He specifically recruits youngest members with the least training to his squad by bribing other squadleaders so he can take care of them.{{book ref|sa1|47}}

 

Full Lashing is the first of the Three Lashings Kaladin mastered, and the first he used consciously. He was able to bond fist-sized rocks to a sheer chasm wall and create a ladder.{{book ref|sa1|59}} He used Full Lashing to disarm his opponents by yanking their weapons with his own and neutralize them by bonding them to surfaces, while sparring, although he stated he felt awkward due to lack of practice. His Full Lashing had no effect on himself at this time.{{book ref|sa2|12}} He later bound himself to the saddle of his horse, demonstrating that he can choose when his Full Lashing would bond him or ignore him.{{book ref|sa2|25}}

 

Though he has never used it consciously, Kaladin performed Reverse Lashings during the bridge runs for the entirety of his time as a bridgeman. He instinctively managed to infuse the bridge he carried to attract the Parshendi arrow shot at him while approaching the target plateaus.{{book ref|sa1|6}} Later at the Battle of the Tower, he infused the shield he was carrying to draw an entire volley of arrow shot at the Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|67}}
