Drehy was on Bridge Four when [[Kaladin]] began trying to save the men. He was among the first to defend Kaladin, even while the others taunted him. While the crew was in the chasms scavenging, Kaladin talks with [[Rock]], [[Teft]], and [[Dunny]], and with prompting, Drehy talks a little as well.{{book ref|wok|27}} When they were being taught to wield the spear by Kaladin, Drehy, along with [[Skar]], learned almost as quickly as [[Moash]] did.{{book ref|wok|49}} He was also among the first bridgemen that Kaladin trained in first aid, along with Rock and Skar.{{book ref|wok|62}}

As the [[Alethi]] armies approach the center plateau, Drehy and Skar are assigned to guard [[Adolin]]. After he receives the order to attack, Adolin asks the two if they are going to stay behind due to Kaladin's aversion to bridgemen participating in battle against the [[Parshendi]]. Drehy insists on fighting, asserting that they're no longer dealing with Parshendi.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Drehy and Skar keep up with Adolin during the battle. At one point, Drehy helps cut the Parshendi's ropes from Adolin and assures the prince that the Parshendi will send real attacks against him eventually.{{book ref|sa2|82}} Drehy and Skar save Adolin from falling off the plateau{{book ref|sa2|84}} and a little later help him get his armor off when it loses most of its [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa2|85}}

Drehy was chosen, along with Skar, by Kaladin to be part of the group that traveled to [[Kholinar]] to get an update on the city. This choice by Kaladin shows that with the absence of Moash, Drehy was regarded as one of the better fighters among Bridge Four. During the trip to Kholinar, Drehy flew using [[Lashing]]s, meaning that he has the powers of a Windrunner squire. {{book ref|sa3|60}}

During the infiltration and subsequent [[Battle of Kholinar]], Drehy played a vital role. As one of the better warriors of the group, Drehy helped guard Shallan and Adolin throughout their time in Kholinar and also helped Kaladin during the battle of the palace to push back the enemy. When Shallan began her way to the [[Oathgate]] to battle the Unmade, Drehy was sent by Kaladin to assist her and keep the palace guard and the [[Fused]] away from her while she focused on the Unmade. Drehy was not of the members of the group to travel to the [[Shadesmar]], instead remaining in Kholinar with Skar to attempt to continue the battle.{{book ref|sa3|83}}

Working on information gained by [[spanreed]], Kaladin traveled to a cave on the coast of [[Alethkar]]. Entering the cave Kaladin discovers that Drehy and Skar survived and escaped Kholinar with [[Gavinor Kholin]]. They had smeared ash on their foreheads to hide their tattoos, and both looked weak and exhausted from their travels. Showing Gavinor to Kaladin, Drehy quotes the Second Ideal of the Windrunners.{{book ref|sa3|122}}

After reuniting with Kaladin, Drehy bonded a spren of his own.{{book ref|sa4|12}} He participated in the evacuation of [[Hearthstone]] with his fellow Windrunners, engaging the [[Fused]] in combat, before returning to Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|10}} Skar and Drehy travelled with Rock and his family to the [[Horneater Peaks]] before returning to the Shattered Plains for Teft's funeral.{{book ref|sa4|12}}{{book ref|sa3|114}}
