'''Kaladin''' (<small>pronounced</small> {{wp|Help:IPA_for_English#Key|/ˈkælædɪn/}} {{wp|Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key|'''''<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]].
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]].

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.{{ref|b|twok|c|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. {{ref|b|twok|c|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.{{ref|b|twok|c|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.{{ref|b|twok|c|47}}
Kaladin has a [[Nahel bond]] with the [[honorspren]] [[Sylphrena]] which gives him the ability to [[Surgebind]].{{ref|b|twok|c|57}} He has access to the [[Surge]]s of atmospheric pressure and gravity. As with all [[Surgebinder]]s, he has superhuman speed, strength and healing when he holds [[Stormlight]].{{ref|b|twok|c|62}} He has so far demonstrated the ability to use [[Reverse Lashing]]{{ref|b|twok|c|67}} and [[Full Lashing]]{{ref|b|twok|c|59}}, but not [[Basic Lashing]]. Kaladin is in the process of becoming a [[Knights Radiant|Knight Radiant]] from the [[Order of Windrunners]].{{ref|b|twok|c|73}} He has currently taken the first and second [[Immortal Words|Ideals]] of his order.{{ref|b|twok|c|67}}
Kaladin is currently immune to the [[Thrill]] although that does not mean he never felt it. This may be because of his Nahel bond.{{ref|17s|3937|text=

*Kaladin
*Kaladin was originally named Merin. One of the reasons for the name change was that Merin sounded too much like {{wp|Perrin Aybara|Perrin}}.{{ref|?|535|8|text=Kaladin in The Way of Kings was originally named Merin}} Another was it sounded too much like a female name. Brandon also felt that the character had changed so much that he couldn't think of him as Merin anymore.{{ref|?|692|2|text=This sounds like a girl's name}}▼
*Despite previous contradicting statements by Brandon, Kaladin is not likely to get another flashback book anymore.{{ref|17s|5854|93530|text=Peter Ahlstrom's post on 17th Shard}}
