Bussik is a bridgeman in Sadeas's warcamp on the Shattered Plains of Roshar.[1] He is the bridgeleader of Bridge Three. Bussik has a dark beard.[1]
In 1173, after Bussik's bridge crew loses two-thirds of its members in a bridge run, he tries to convince Gaz that his crew is too weak to work on stone-gathering detail.[1] Kaladin suggests that Bridge Four be assigned to stone-gathering duty instead; Gaz agrees with him, and gives Bussik and Bridge Three the job of cleaning pots. Rock correctly predicts that being volunteered for stone-gathering will annoy the other members of Bridge Four, but Kaladin has the ulterior motive of simultaneously gathering knobweed sap.[1][2]
Bussik shows anger towards Kaladin and Bridge Four, causing Kaladin to realize that most of the other bridge crews are becoming vexed by Bridge Four's sudden ability to make bridge runs with minimal losses, when they had previously been the crew where people were sent to die.[1] Kaladin later realized that he was unconsciously protecting Bridge Four with to his nascent Surgebinding abilities.[3]
