===Encountering the Assassin in White===
[[Kaladin]], after receiving warning from [[Syl]] that darkness was in the palace, assigned Hobber and [[Beld]] to an advance squad in charge of scouting a way out of the building. The two men scouted ahead, but they ran into [[Szeth]]. Szeth cut down Hobber, leaving his legs darkened and grey, dead. He then stabbed Beld through, killing him. After fighting Szeth, Kaladin found Hobber weeping. He apologized to Kaladin and explained what happened. Kaladin tried to reassure him, but Hobber told him he couldn’t feel his legs, that he was useless. Kaladin objected firmly and told him it would always be Bridge Four. Kaladin offered that they could have [[Rock]] teach him how to cook. Hobber countered that he was an awful cook, but Kaladin just told him he’d fit in with most military cooks. Kaladin then tried to lift Hobber, but his body object. He sucked in [[Stormlight]] and then carried Hobber back towards the others.{{book ref|sa2|33}}
 
===Useful again===
Hobber fell into his new role of helping [[Rock]] in the kitchen, serving the men of [[Bridge Four]] while Rock looked on proudly. He kept his grey legs covered with a blanket, sitting on a stump the men had fashioned for him. [[Kaladin]] nodded to the Hobber and raised a fist encouraging him to fight on.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
 
===A miracle===
Hobber continued to find his place in the kitchen as [[Rock]]’s assistant chef once the rest of [[Bridge Four]] moved to [[Urithiru]] after the [[Battle of Narak]]. One day, he traveled with the rest of [[Bridge Four]] and other prospective [[Windrunners]] to the [[Shattered Plains]] for training. While assisting Rock in the kitchen, [[Kaladin]] walked over to Hobber and handed him a gemstone. Kaladin explained he had to breathe in the [[Stormlight]], something he wasn’t really sure he was doing until [[Teft]] explained it to him. Hobber objected, saying he wasn’t that good with the spear and barely a passable cook. However, it was a job he could do after his was injured by the [[Assassin in White]] and Rock was happy to have his help. Kaladin folded the gemstone in Hobber’s fingers and just asked him to try, explaining that being [[Radiant]] wasn’t about strength or skill as much as it was about heart. Kaladin told Hobber that his heart was the best of all of them.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
