'''Kaladin''' (
Only a few months later, Tien died in battle while Kaladin could do nothing but watch. Extremely depressed by this, Kaladin obsessively threw himself to his spear fighting practices. He was soon renowned as the best spearman in Amaram's army, and promoted to the rank of squadleader and given his own squad. In Kaladin's final battle in Amaram's army in 1172, a [[Shardbearer]] tried to kill the Brightlord. Instead, Kaladin fought and killed the man and saved Amaram's life, but lost almost all of his soldiers in the process. Disgusted by the [[Shardplate]] and [[Shardblade|Blade]] that had been used to kill so many of his friends, Kaladin refused to take them up, and gave them to one of the few surviving members of his squad. Amaram, however, wanted the Shards for himself, and had Kaladin's men killed and Kaladin branded as a slave.
