'''Fleet''' is a figure from legends on [[Roshar]]. |
||
| + | [[Kaladin]] tells [[Wit]] a tale of him running faster than a [[Highstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|59}} |
||
| − | + | According to the tale that [[Hoid|Wit]] mentions about him he had raced the [[herald]] [[chanarach]] and won in order to prove his speed.[[Hoid|Wit]] also claims that his story is well-known by all, but [[Kaladin]] doubts this as he had never heard of him before.{{book ref|sa2|59}} |
|
| + | It is likely that in the story he is supposed to represent [[Kaladin]]. |
||
| − | During the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]]'s assassination attempt on [[Elhokar]], [[Kaladin]] remembers the story of Fleet, who kept running and never stopped. This inspires him to keep going, as all men eventually die and all that truly matters in the end is how they fight to survive, not their deaths.{{book ref|sa2|82}} |
||
| − | == Appearance and Personality == |
||
| − | He is described as a simple barefooted man. He is tall with long hair that runs down to his waist, resembling [[Kaladin]].{{book ref|sa2|59}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Wit]] mentions that he had raced the [[Herald]] [[Chanarach]] to prove his speed, perhaps showing a competitive streak. (He won the race, demonstrating exceptional speed.) He then raced the [[Stormfather]] himself, trying to outrun a [[highstorm]]. His desire to be the fastest on [[Roshar]] was so extreme that he died in order to win the race, and even then his spirit left his body in order to continue down to the western shores of [[Shinovar]] in an attempt to best the [[Stormfather]].{{book ref|sa2|59}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fleet's attitude is reminiscent of the [[Knights_Radiant/Immortal_Words#The_First_Ideal|First Ideal]] of the [[Knights Radiant]]: the outcome of the race (and his inevitable failure) is irrelevant to him, and he judges himself only by his efforts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Attributes and Abilities == |
||
| − | Fleet was incredibly fast and retained a huge amount of stamina, used to keep running from the [[Origin]] until his death in [[Shinovar]]. |

| − | |||
| − | == Quotes == |

|Fleet kept running. He couldn't win, but he kept running. And when the storm caught him, it didn't matter that he’d died, because he'd run for all he had. We all die in the end, you see. So I guess what truly matters is just how well you've run. |
