→Bridge Four: Partial section on Moash, need to expand it a lot still, which I will do over the course of my current reread.
(→Personality: added section on Kaladin's relationship and views on Vorin gender norms, and how it effects how he sees the world. I felt it is important as it is relevant to his character and his relationships with others.) |

While Kaladin does accept his sexuality, he isn't completely bereft of homophobia. He considers Drehy to be unmasculine, and considers Drehy's own beliefs in Vorin gender norms to be funny considering his sexuality.{{book ref|sa3|55}} His displays of this prejudice are rare, but when they do occur they clearly make Drehy uncomfortable, though he doesn't tend to speak up about it.{{book ref|sa3|55}}
==== Moash ====
Kaladin and Moash have a very complex relationship that changed in nature drastically over time. In the beginning, they were both members of Bridge Four and were rather close, despite their occasionally disagreements in philosophy.
Their relationship began to turn towards hatred once Moash attempted to assassinate Elhokar,{{book ref|sa2|87}} and later became a servant of the Fused. It was only further soured by his successful assassination of Elhokar during the Siege of Kholinar.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
Moash himself has complex views on Kaladin, but all of these feelings can ultimately be boiled down to overwhelming obsession.{{book ref|sa4|i|4}}
==== Teft ====

=== Shallan Davar ===
Kaladin and [[Shallan Davar|Shallan]] are among the first new [[Knights Radiant]] in centuries. They both reveal themselves independently during the [[Battle of Narak]], together serving as the catalyst for the refounding of the order.{{book ref|sa2|78}}{{book ref|sa2|86}} Kaladin and Shallan initially have a strained relationship. During their first meeting, Shallan tricks Kaladin out of his new boots.{{book ref|sa2|28}} During their later meetings, Kaladin suspects Shallan of being a spy or opportunist at worst, and a privileged, unempathetic lighteyes at best.{{book ref|sa2|36}}{{book ref|sa2|44}} This clash of personalities is reflected in their respective spren, as the [[Cryptic]]s (to which Shallan's spren [[Pattern]] belongs) and [[honorspren]] are involved in a complex spren conflict.
