'''Kaladin''' (<small>Alethi pronounciation:</small> [[Wikipedia:Help:IPA|[ˈkæl·ə·dɪn]]] [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key|'''''<small>KAL</small>'''-a-din'']]), nicknamed '''Kal''', renowned as '''Kaladin Stormblessed''', is an [[Alethi]] [[Knight Radiant]] from the [[Order of Windrunners]]. Although [[Lirin|his father]] trains him as a surgeon from an early age, he joins [[Meridas Amaram]]'s army as a spearman at the age of fifteen. Rising to the rank of squadleader, he gains renown as an exceptionally excellent spearman, tactician, and leader. While in Amaram's army, he fights and kills an enemy [[Shardbearer]] who was attacking Amaram. This feat entitles him to claim the [[Helaran Davar|fallen assassin]]'s Shards. However, he is betrayed by Amaram who takes the Shards for himself, kills Kaladin's men who were witnesses, and sells Kaladin into slavery,
 
As a slave, Kaladin meets the [[honorspren]] [[Syl]] and begins discovering his powers as a [[Knight Radiant]]. Kaladin spends eight months under various slavemasters, until he is eventually sold to [[Highprince]] [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]] to work as a [[bridgeman]] in the [[Shattered Plains]]. He becomes the leader of [[Bridge Four]], which he secretly trains as spearmen. During the [[Battle of the Tower]], Bridge Four saves the lives of Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] and a sizable part of his army. In gratitude, Dalinar secures their freedom, makes Bridge Four into his personal guard, and grants Kaladin command of all the [[bridge crew]]s. Kaladin then begins training the [[bridgemen]] into a full-strength fighting force while protecting the Kholin family—saving Dalinar from the [[Szeth-son-son-Vallano|Assassin in White]] and King [[Elhokar Kholin|Elhokar]] from [[Graves|other assassins]]. During the [[Battle of Narak]] he definitively defeats the Assassin in White and publicly acknowledges his status as a member of the [[Knights Radiant]], which leads to the re-founding of the Knights Radiant.
