== 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}}▼
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]].▼

== Quotes ==
{{quote
| 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.
