Kef'ha
The nuatoma that Rock served under prior to his slavery was the leader of one of the Horneater Peaks. He was related to Rock.
Rock's nuatoma left the Peaks together with members of his family to gain Shardplate and Shardblade for his clan. He was killed in a duel with Highprince Torol Sadeas for Sadeas' Shardplate. It is unclear what exactly was offered as stake by the nuatoma, but Rock and the other members of his nuatoma's household became Sadeas' servants (and effectively slaves) after the death of the nuatoma.[1]
Some members of the family clan were most likely left behind on the Peaks and did not follow the nuatoma to Alethkar. Kaladin mentions that Rock had sent for his wife in the Horneater homeland after he gained freedom from slavery[2] and Rock says that he will make the other members of Bridge Four part of his family after they all chipped in together to buy him a razor blade for shaving.[3]
