In an unprecedented move, Dalinar gives Kaladin, a darkeyes, command of the thousand former bridgemen and raises him to the rank of captain. Bridge Four, now seen as elite troops, is named the personal guard for the [[House Kholin|Kholin family]] replacing the [[Cobalt Guard]]. Kaladin was also charged with turning his thousand former bridgemen into a full battalion of troops for Dalinar's army. Kaladin slowly does this by building a supporting hierarchy of lesser officers underneath himself and slowly gaining the trust of the other crews, while also acclimating the former bridgemen to military life by having them patrol the camps.
 
In his role as Dalinar's head bodyguard, Kaladin also becomes intimately acquainted with Dalinar's sons, [[Adolin Kholin|Adolin]] and [[Renarin Kholin|Renarin]], and comes into close contact with many of the Alethi lighteyed nobility. In particular, he learns that Dalinar is old friends whenwith Amaram. This, in addition to his subordinate [[Moash]]'s insistence that King [[Elhokar]] is incompetent and must be assassinated, drives Kaladin into a lust for revenge and a path of dishonor that eventually "kills" Syl. However, Kaladin redeems himself when he resolves to protect King Elhokar and manages to revive Syl, advancing his powers as a Surgebinder and Knight Radiant in the process.
