Unlike many of the [[Bridge Four]] members, Lopen supposedly did not hide a dark past. He was sent to the bridge crews not as punishment for a crime, but only because he was a nuisance.{{wob ref|8259|Oathbringer Release Party|date=2017/11/13}} He was not even aware of his situation, as he apparently thought he was entering the army as a soldier. He was the only person among the newcomers who did not have a defeated look of apathy on his face, and the only one volunteering to be picked when Kaladin came looking for a new recruit. Knowing that Lopen would probably not survive a single bridge run in other crews, Kaladin decided to choose him, instead of one of the taller men as he'd originally planned.{{book ref|sa1|32}}
Considering Lopen's physical limitation, Kaladin assigned him to carry water for the crew during bridge runs instead of helping carry the bridge
Lopen's small team also carried medical supplies for Kaladin later on, as well as other items like rope and Parshendi carapace armor. Eventually Lopen learned medical first aid from Kaladin and was given medic duties as well.{{book ref|sa1|68}}
During the [[Battle of the Tower]], while unable to fight, Lopen helped by ensuring that Kaladin always had a spear in hand. He did this by taking spears from fallen Alethi soldiers and tossing one to Kaladin when needed.{{book ref|sa1|68}} After Bridge Four rescued the Kholin army in that battle, [[Dalinar Kholin]] had all the bridgemen in [[Sadeas]]' warcamp freed, including Lopen.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
=== King of Alethkar ===
After Kaladin thwarted an assassination attempt on [[Elhokar|King Elhokar]], the wounded king was taken to Lopen's home in Little Herdaz to recover. Deciding to conceal the king for his own safety, but being averse to lying, Lopen's family members somehow persuaded Elhokar to temporarily abdicate in favor of Lopen so that they could truthfully say that "King Elhokar" was not with them. This made Lopen the legitimate king of Alethkar for several minutes.{{wob ref |1703|Arcanum Unbounded Release Party|date=2016/11/22}}
=== Radiant ===
Lopen always found Kaladin's abilities fascinating, particularly the ability to absorb [[Stormlight]]. He desired to "glow" like Kaladin{{book ref|sa1|73}}{{book ref|sa2|41}}, so much so that he repeatedly attempted to [[Invest]] Stormlight from gemstones.
