'''Kaladin''' (<small>pronounced</small> [[Wikipedia:Help:IPA_for_English#Key|/ˈkælædɪn/]] [[Wikipedia: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]]. Born and raised in the town of [[Hearthstone]], he started training with his father, [[Lirin]], to be a surgeon at age eight. His father 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 appliedeventually 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 surehad Kaladin's brother, [[Tien]], was conscripted to [[Brightlord]] [[Meridas Amaram|Amaram]]'s army in 1168. In order to look out for his younger brother, Kaladin followedalso Tien to the armyjoined.

Only a few months later, Tien died in battle while Kaladin could do nothing butshortly watchafter. 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 andhe killed the man and saved Amaram's life, but lost almost all of his soldiers in the process. Disgusted by thea [[ShardplateShardbearer]] 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, heHe was branded with the ''shash'' glyph andeventually 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 Kaladinhe was assigned to [[Bridge Four]] to work as a [[bridgeman]].

Kaladin grew more and more despaired during his time as a bridgeman. He eventually came close to committing suicide, but was convinced by the [[honorspren]] [[Sylphrena]] to try one last time to protect the bridgemen. He spent the subsequent period trying to win the loyalty of the bridgemen and, once he did, to find a way to save their lives. He tried to establish training regiments and alternative methods of carrying the bridge. After he caused a battle to be lost in a disastrous attempt to carry the bridge sideways, he realized that the purpose of the bridgemen was to be bait to the [[Parshendi]] arrows and decided if they wanted to live, they would have to escape. He started training the Bridge Four as spearmen so they could fight when they escaped. In the [[Battle of the Tower]], when they had the chance to easily escape, he and Bridge Four saved the lives of [[Dalinar Kholin]] and his men. In return for their sacrifice, Dalinar freed all the bridgemen from slavery and offered them a job as soldiers in his army, to be trained and led by Kaladin.
