Godeke used to be an ardent before his bond was formed and he joined the Radiant forces in Urithiru.

His reference to The Book of Endless Pages could possibly indicate he belonged to the Devotary of Sincerity. His bonded a Cultivationspren named Archinal, who presents in the Cognitive Realm as a short woman in robes, made entirely of vines and crystal.[5] He claims to have had some experience in matters of diplomacy.[4] He speak Thaylen as well as Alethi.[6]
The Evacuation of Hearthstone
Godeke was one of the Edgedancers brought with the Fourth Bridge to help evacuate the civilians and heal the battling Radiants in Hearthstone. He was taken hostage inside Roshone's manor when he went along with the man to help free the people trapped in the burning.[2][3]. When Kaladin entered the building, he found Godeke injured severely by a Fused who slashed his stomach, and the new Surge-cancelling fabrial in effect, prevented the Edgedancer from healing with his Stormlight. After Kaladin fought the present Fused and singers and disabled the device, he ordered Lift to evacuate the slowly-healing Godeke.[3]
