Despite these challenges, or perhaps because of them, Kaladin is driven to protect others. Utilizing his skills as a surgeon, he attempts to save as many lives as possible. As a soldier, he has rescued thousands of soldiers during the [[Battle of the Tower]], liberated a thousand bridgemen, and defended Dalinar Kholin and King [[Elhokar Kholin]] from numerous assassins.
 
He has bonded with the [[honorspren]] [[Sylphrena]], more commonly known as Syl. This bond allows him to discover his powers as a [[Surgebinder]] and destiny as a member of the Knights Radiant, an order which has been defunct ever since the [[Day of Recreance]]. Kaladin, along with [[Shallan Davar]], areis one of the first fewtwo new members of the Knights Radiant in centuries. Their public revelation during the [[Battle of Narak]] serves as the catalyst for the re-founding of the Knights Radiant.

Kaladin and [[Shallan Davar|Shallan]] are the first two 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. Kaladin and Shallan initially have a strained relationship. During their first meeting, Shallan tricks Kaladin out of his new boots. During their later meetings, Kaladin suspects Shallan of being a spy or opportunist at worst, and a privileged, unempathetic lighteyes at best. 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.
 
Later, when Kaladin and Shallan are both stranded in the chasms of the [[Shattered Plains]], they grow to respect and admire one another. TheyDuring this time, they reveal some of their personal history and secrets to each other, including the fact that Shallan has a Shardblade.
