'''Leyten''' is a member of [[Bridge Four]] on the planet [[Roshar]].
== Appearance and Personality ==
Leyten was an apprentice armorer prior to becoming a bridgemen. The armor of a lighteyes broke, allowing an arrow to hit in the shoulder, and the blame fell on Leyten. As a result, he was demoted to work on the bridge crews.{{book ref|sa1|63}}
On the first bridge run after [[Kaladin]]'s promotion to bridgeleader, Leyten dropped after taking two arrow wounds in his shoulder and the opposite arm. Another arrow grazed his stomach and his left leg was trampled by a horse. [[Teft]] and [[Rock]] carried Leyten to Kaladin, who insisted on treating his wounds. Leyten fell unconscious and Kaladin feared he wouldn’t make it. However,
Leyten’s wounds soon became infected, causing Kaladin to enlist Rock and Teft to help collect [[knobweed]] sap for its antiseptic qualities. The knobweed sap worked, and soon Leyten was up and about, though he initially had a lot of trouble walking due to his crushed leg.{{book ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa1|32}}
Leyten’s condition continued to improve, even joining the rest of [[Bridge Four]] in the chasms for spear training and harvesting.{{book ref|sa1|49}} After the success of using the [[Parshendi]] carapace armor, Leyten was tasked with crafting additional sets of armor for every man in [[Bridge Four]].{{book ref|sa1|63}} He expertly crafted armor to fit on their current leather jerkins and caps, along with arm and shin guards to match. Leyten insisted on ornamenting the helms with ridges and cuts, as well as cutting the breastplates and guards in toothlike patterns.{{book ref|sa1|64}}▼

===Dalinar's Army (1173—) ===
After the [[Battle of the Tower]], Leyten joined [[Dalinar]]’s army along with the rest of the bridgemen.{{book ref|sa2|2}} He continued working on armor, fixing issues as gear arrived from the quartermaster.{{book ref|sa2|5}} He also assisted in guarding the various members of the [[Kholin]] family.{{book ref|sa2|22}} In the mornings, Leyten trained with [[Natam]] and a few others.

He became a [[Squire]] to [[Kaladin Stormblessed]] at some point during their training, and so he participated in the running competition that [[Sigzil]] held to test the benefits of [[Stormlight]]. He was one of the slowest due to stopping for food during the run.{{book ref|sa3|46}} Alongside his training, he kept on handling the supply, but as organization of the [[bridge crew]]s was a mess, he couldn't deal with all the requisition orders.{{book ref|sa3|35}}
