'''Kaladin''' (pronounced '''''<small>KAL</small>'''-a-din''), nicknamed '''Kal''', renowned as '''Kaladin Stormblessed''', is a [[darkeyes|darkeyed]] [[Alethi]] male [[Surgebinder]] who is on the path to becoming one of the first [[Knights Radiant]] since the [[Recreance]] on [[Roshar]]. He was born in [[Hearthstone]] to [[Lirin]] and [[Hesina]] in late 1153, and two years later his younger brother [[Tien]] was born. Lirin started teaching Kaladin surgery at age eight. He eventually wanted to send him to [[Kharbranth]] to train as a surgeon, but Kaladin secretly harbored a childish desire to become a soldier for some time as well. The family had a more or less happy and peaceful time until the Citylord [[Wistiow]] died in 1166, and his replacement [[Brightlord]] [[Roshone]] accused Lirin of thievery of a substantial amount of [[spheres|money]]. Knowing there wasn't enough evidence to win an inquest, Roshone applied pressure on the family by turning the townspeople against them, therefore impoverishing the family. The conflict came to a climax when Lirin failed to save the life of Roshone's son [[Rillir Roshone|Rillir]]. For revenge, Roshone made sure Tien was conscripted to Brightlord [[Meridas Amaram|Amaram]]'s army, and in order to protect his younger brother, Kaladin also volunteered to join the army in 1168.
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.
