'''Fleet''' is a figure from legends on [[Roshar]].[[Kaladin]] tells [[Wit]] a tale of him running faster than a [[Highstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|59}}
It is likely that in the story he is supposed to represent [[Kaladin]].▼
After the assassination attempt on [[Elhokar]]s life by [[The Diagram]] [[Kaladin]] remembers back to 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}}
▲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}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
▲It is likely that in the story he is supposed to represent [[Kaladin]].
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}}
According to the tale that [[Hoid|Wit]] mentions about him he had raced the [[herald]] [[chanarach]] and won in order to prove his speed, perhaps showing a competitive streak in his personality.This desire of his to be the fastest on [[Roshar]] was taken to such an extreme length 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}}
Fleets attitude towards putting more emphasis on what he does in his life rather than how he dies is reminiscent of the first ideals of the [[Knights Radiant]].
== Abilities ==
Fleet was incredibly fast and retained a huge amount of stamina, used to keep running from the [[Origin]] until his death in [[Shinovar]].
