'''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 a originally [[darkeyes|darkeyed]] [[Order of Windrunners|Windrunner]] of the [[Knights Radiant]] from [[Alethkar]]. Although trained as a surgeon from an early age by [[Lirin|his father]], his chosen profession is that of a soldier. He is famed as the captain of [[Highprince]] [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s personal guard, a unit known as [[Bridge Four]], and commander of the [[bridge crew|bridgemen]] battalion.
Kaladin has known adversity and loss throughout his life. He has suffered repeated oppression and betrayal by the [[lighteyes|lighteyed nobility]], including being driven from his home by the [[Roshone|citylord]] of his hometown as a teenager and being sold into slavery by the [[Meridas Amaram|commander]] of his army. Kaladin has also been unable to save numerous patients, comrades, subordinates, and even his brother [[Tien]] from death.
