Drehy is a member of Bridge Four and a Windrunner on Roshar.

Appearance and Personality

Drehy is lanky, long-limbed, and muscled. He has blond hair, although he is balding. He speaks with a faint accent.

Outside of the text, Sanderson has mentioned that Drehy's personality is based on a good friend of his who is gay. The reason Drehy's orientation has never been mentioned in the books is simply that it has never become relevant to the story.

History

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. When they were being taught spear by Kaladin, Drehy, along with Skar, learned almost as quickly as Moash did. He was also among the first bridgemen that Kaladin trained in first aid, along with Rock and Skar.

After seeing Sadeas abandon Dalinar in the Battle of the Tower, Drehy remarks that it makes him sick. When shocked by Kaladin's display of his abilities, Drehy swears by the Brightcaller's rays and a little later speculates that Kaladin is a spren rather than a man.

Drehy joins the guard of Dalinar and takes turns guarding the Kholins along with the rest of the former members of Bridge Four, under Kaladin's leadership. He helps train the bridgemen from other crews as well. Kaladin sends a message to Teft requesting more men in the training arena because Drehy and Moash had been working too many hours. During dinner in the Bridge Four barracks one night, Drehy flips a chunk of stewed longroot at Lopen after the Herdazian claimed he was ready for anything.

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. 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. Drehy and Skar save Adolin from falling off the plateau and a little later help him get his armor off when it lost most of its Stormlight.
