|Rock's stew recipe{{book ref|sa4|54}}

Rock is an exceptional cook, having always shown an interest in cooking even before his elevation to third son, making bread with his mother as soon as he could reach the countertops.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He cooks stew every day for Bridge Four as part of Kaladin's efforts to bring life back to the crew.{{book ref|sa1|27}} He is capable of preparing Horneater drinks, making [[Shiki]] for Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He is able to eat various harder foods due to his Horneater heritage, possessing extra jaw pieces that allow him to eat shells.{{wob ref|3922}} In fact, Rock believes the best part of a chull is its head because it is so tasty.{{book ref|sa2|12}}

Rock was born in the [[Horneater Peaks]] as the fourth son of his family. He was trained in combat with both the spear and bow. He expressed an early affinity for cooking, joining his mother in making bread from a young age. Rock met his future wife [[Tuaka]] as a child where they built snow forts together, although Rock believes hers were always the best. Prior to Rock's departure to [[Alethkar]] and the [[Shattered Plains]], they married and had six children. {{cite}}

He traveled to the [[Shattered Plains]] with [[Kef'ha]], his ''[[nuatoma]]'', in the hopes of gaining [[Shardplate]] and [[Shardblade]] for his people. Kef'ha challenged [[Torol Sadeas]] to a duel because he believed it would be easier to first gain the Shardplate, then try for a Shardblade. After Sadeas won and killed Kef'ha, Rock and his entourage became servants to Sadeas.{{book ref|sa3|37}}

Sadeas used Rock as a cook. Rock prepared one meal for him in which he put [[chull]] dung in the soup and the bread, used it as a garnish on the pork steak, and made a chutney out of it for the buttered garams because he was angry about Kef'ha's death. He was then sent to the [[bridge crew]]s{{book ref|sa1|23}} and subsequently became a member of [[Bridge Four]].{{book ref|sa1|23}}

Rock joined the bridge crews in early {{Rosharan date|1173}} and spent several months there before [[Kaladin]] was appointed his new bridgeleader.{{book ref|sa1|11}}{{book ref|sa1|14}} The next morning when Kaladin claimed that Bridge Four would never lose another man, Rock laughed at Kaladin and refused to practice carrying the bridge.{{book ref|sa1|14}} Rock bet the other bridgemen a few chips that Kaladin was carrying a lightweight board to practice and was surprised when he was proven wrong. Later that day on a bridge run, Kaladin took Rock's place at the deathpoint of the bridge during the final approach. Rock was surprised by Kaladin's decision, but accepted. After the bridge was placed, Rock took shelter behind a rock formation. When Kaladin struggled to save an injured [[Dabbid]], Rock followed and carried the man back to shelter himself. He and Teft went out again to save a badly wounded [[Leyten]] as well. After Kaladin had treated them, Rock warned Kaladin that injured bridgemen who could not walk must be left behind and that Gaz would not allow them to save Leyten and Dabbid.{{book ref|sa1|17}}

Later he offered some of his food to feed the wounded and assisted Kaladin and Teft with collecting [[knobweed|knobweed sap]], utilisingutilizing his ability to see [[Syl]] to quickly find more stems to gather. Syl tricked Rock by leading him to a pile of chull dung during this exercise, which he didn't understand due to his reverence of spren. {{book ref|sa1|23}} They sold some of the knobweed sap they gathered, in return for bandages and a skymark per bottle. That same day Bridge fourFour was assigned to [[War of Reckoning#Chasm Duty| chasm duty]], where Rock helped to build rapport with the other members of the bridge crew and successfully brought Dunny into the conversation, having discovered he cancould sing. With the help of Syl, Rock and Dunny discovered more bodies in the caverns, being those of the Parshendi. They discovered that their armourarmor iswas part of their bodies. That evening, Rock and Kaladin bought a cauldron and food with the money they gained, and Rock cooked a stew of which every member of the bridge crew partook. After this, most of the bridgemen started training with Kaladin.{{book ref|sa1|27}}

Rock and Teft helped influence the last members of the bridge crew to fall under Kaladin's leadership. They joined in doing exercises from Kaladin's time in the military, before practicing carrying the bridges as strength training. Kaladin suggested carrying the bridge on it'sits side as a way to train more muscles and Rock participated in attempting the maneuver. {{book ref|sa1|30}} Bridge Four gained a new member with [[Lopen]], a one-armed Herdazian. Alongside Dabbid, he carried a stretcher with several water canteens for the bridge crew to use on a run. With the three of them, the start of the non-combative section of the crew was started. Immediately after LopedLopen had joined, Bridge Four was sent on the next plateau assault, arriving after the Parshendi were fully set up. Kaladin ordered the crew to attempt the side carry maneuver, which resulted in no loss of life to Bridge Four, causing Rock to celebrate. However, the maneuver unermindedundermined the other bridges assaulting the plateau and caused the retreat of Sadeas' army. Rock stepsstepped up to defend Kaladin from the lighteyes that came to arrest uphim, but he was ordered to step down and allow it to proceed. Rock watcheswatched as Kaladin iswas beaten.{{book ref|sa1|32}}

Syl brought Rock, Teft, and Moash to the outside of the barracks to see Kaladin once he had regained consciousness. He witnessed Kaladin telling them that he would survive, and to check on his body after the [[highstorm]] hashad passed. {{book ref|sa1|34}} Rock was the first to leave the barracks to see Kaladin, initially dismayed to find him apparently dead before expressing his delight that he had survived. Rock called for other members of the crew to assist in cutting Kaladin down and bringing him inside. {{book ref|sa1|35}}

While Kaladin was recovering from being strung up in a [[highstorm]], Rock was made the bridgeleader of Bridge Four. However, the crew just called Rock squadleader and called Kaladin their captain. On the day that Kaladin first stepped outside after healing, Rock stated that Kaladin must have bones of granite to have survived the highstorm and healed in only ten days. Bridge Four went on a plateau run that same day, with no casualties. That evening to thank him for his cooking, Bridge Four bought him a razor, which made Rock actually grow teary-eyed. He was very grateful for it,{{book ref|sa1|40}} and he started shaving the beards of all the members of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa1|43}}

After Kaladin's recovery, Bridge Four was assigned to chasm duty permanently. Rock questionsquestioned Kaladin as to their next steps toward fighting, but Kaladin shot him down, stating that the fight iswas over. After persuasion from Teft and Syl, Kaladin informed the bridge crew that their only chance to survive was to escape. Rock was the only member of the bridge crew to refuse spear training, becoming the official cook of the bridge crew.{{book ref|sa1|43}}

Rock holdsheld Kaladin down after he experiencesexperienced visions during a highstorm. He was finally able to give Kaladin a shave during the [[highstorm|riddens]] and revealed that [[Sigzil]] iswas a [[Worldsinger]].{{book ref|sa1|46}} Bridge Four gained another new member, a [[parshman]] named [[Shen]]. During the next chasm duty, Kaladin took Rock aside, where he explained why he would not fight alongside the other members of the crew. Rock then took Lopen, Dabbid, and Shen to collect salvage while the other members traintrained with the spear. Rock noted that they could not do the work of a whole bridge crew, so Kaladin asked Syl to reveal herself to them to aid in locating salvage. {{book ref|sa1|49}}

Rock was present when Dunny died on a plateau run, asand wellhe as helpinghelped to save wounded members from other bridge crews.{{book ref|sa1|53}}

Rock participated in the first joint plateau assault between [[Dalinar]] and Sadeas. After the battle went quickly and successfully, Bridge Four was sent back to chasm duty, where they found an [[Spheres|emerald broam]] as well as various lesser spheres worth 200two hundred days of bridgeman pay, on the dead body of a lighteyed officer. Rock demonstrated his proficiency with a bow to attach the pouch of lesser spheres to the underside of a bridge, to be collected on the next plateau run. He insisted that he would shoot bridges but would never use the weapon in battle. {{book ref|sa1|55}}

Rock was present at the assault on the [[Tower (Roshar)|The Tower]], when every member of Bridge Four wore the carapace armourarmor crafted by [[Leyten]] to serve as an added distraction for the Parshendi. {{book ref|sa1|64}} He witnessed the betrayal of Dalinar by Sadeas and agreed with Kaladin to return to save Dalinar's men after Kaladin was persuaded by Syl. He witnessed Kaladin say the [[Order of Windrunners#The Second Ideal|Second Ideal]] of the Knight'sKnights Radiant and explode with stormlight ,{{book ref|sa1|67}}, andthen subsequently save Adolin and Dalinar from the Parshendi.{{book ref|sa1|68}} He helped carry the bridge escorting the remnants of Dalinar's army back to the warcamps, where Dalinar offered his shardbladeShardblade [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Oathbringer]] in exchange for the lives of all of Sadeas' bridgemen.{{book ref|sa1|69}}

Rock cooked a nightly stew for Bridge Four after the events of Thethe [[Battle atof Thethe Tower]], and joined in talking to Kaladin about his abilities and what they meant for the crew going forward. The bridge crew decided to start doing experiments to test the limits of Kaladin's powers.{{book ref|sa1|73}}

During the first highstorm after having been freed, Rock gave all the men a shave with the razor they had bought him. He was officially appointed a lieutenant by Kaladin, and became the Quartermasterquartermaster for Bridge Four with Lopen as his second. Rock joined the rest of Bridge fourFour in getting a forehead tattoo despite not having a slave brand to cover up, and received the same freedom + bridge four glyph that the rest of the crew had. Rock also gained an old [[Cobalt Guard]] uniform as a member of Bridge Four becoming Dalinar's new personal guard. However, they had the Bridge fourFour glyph requested for the shoulder patch to distinguish them from the original Cobalt Guard members.{{book ref|sa2|2}}

{{image|Bridge 4 Glyph.svg|The portion of the glyph meaning "Bridge Four"|side=rightleft|width=250px}}

After hearing Dalinar's gemheart proclamation, Kaladin ordered Rock to begin training members of the other old bridge crews to become cooks, aiming to improve morale. {{book ref|sa2|5}} Rock joined Kaladin in their first trip back into the chasms after having become part of Dalinar's army. Teft had brought along forty members of other bridge crews to train into new sergeants, whilstwhile Rock, Kaladin and Syl discussdiscussed the Knights Radiant and spren. Rock praised Syl and offered to build a shrine to her, before informing Kaladin that the trainees had started to open up to them.{{book ref|sa2|9}} Rock participated in the experimentation of Kaladin's powers, alongside Sigzil, Lopen, and Syl. Using his abilities, Rock was able to see spren that pulled the stones to the walls of the chasm. Rock revealed additional combat prowess, sparring with Kaladin to test his strength, although he remained firm that he would not use this in real battles.{{book ref|sa2|12}}

During a training session for Bridge Seventeen in the chasms, Rock speculated with Sigzil about the motivations and employers of the Assassin in White. He also discussed the attempt on Elhokar's life with Sigzil and Lopen. That night at dinner, [[Renarin]] joined Bridge Four as a recruit and aided Rock in cleaning dishes and tidying up.{{book ref|sa2|41}}

Rock joined a group of Bridge Four going into the warcamp for drinks. Rock spoke of his homeland - -the [[Horneater Peaks]] - -and how the gods aided them in living there, telling the tale of speaking to the gods of the forests, sea, and mountains. He described that the hot springs found in the peaks are special, forming a [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity|connection to the gods]] and a place to view the [[Shadesmar|home of the gods]]. Rock refused to explain why he cancould see spren, and discouraged interpretations of the story he told. Sigzil was startled when Rock mentioned a god named [[Hoid|Lunu'anaki]] who cannot hurt people, as this was the same person who Sigzil trained with to become a worldsinger. {{book ref|sa2|46}}

After Kaladin fought alongside Adolin in the duel for shardsShards and his subsequent imprisonment, Rock began cooking a stew for the entire duration of the prison sentence for Kaladin to eat after he was released. Rock wasattended presentthe whenparty where Kaladin was awarded the remaining set of shardplateShardplate and bladeBlade from Adolin's duel, and then for the following awarding of those shardsShards to [[Moash]]. {{book ref|sa2|66}} Rock was present when the bridge that caused Kaladin and [[Shallan]] to fall into the chasms collapsed due to sabotage.{{book ref|sa2|68}} Rock was present when Dalinar stripped [[Amaram]] of his titles in front of Kaladin, Rock, and Bridge Four before they embarked on the expedition to fulfil the [[War of Reckoning|Vengeance Pact]]. {{book ref|sa2|76}} Rock joined the expedition to carry Bridge Four and was present to defenddefended Shen, now known as Rlain, to Dalinar., stating that he was still a member of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|79}} Rock escorted Shallan along with the other bridgemen in finding the [[Oathgate]] on the Shattered Plains. {{book ref|sa2|81}} {{book ref|sa2|83}} {{book ref|sa2|84}} Rock greeted Kaladin after he returned from defeating the Assassin in White over the Shattered Plains, before Kaladin usesused Syl as a shardbladeShardblade to take them to [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa2|87}}

====Becoming a Windrunner SquiresSquire====

After letting his family have some time to rest, Rock departed back for the Horneater Peaks with part of his family, taking his wife and younger children with him. He told Kaladin that he had broken the ways of his people, and must face justice for his actions. He asked for Kaladin’sKaladin's blessing, and Kaladin gave it. [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]] went with Rock and his family as an honor guard, as well as to fly and protect them on their journey. When Kaladin asked if he’dhe'd see Rock again, Rock told him that when they next saw each other, it would not be in this life.{{book ref|sa4|12}}

* It is unclear whether the brother that Rock lost was the member of his family that died facing Sadeas in a duel for Shards, as nuatoma is also not defined as to whether it is the oldest family member, an inherited position, or a position that is fought for and won. When Kaladin asks about the brother that died, Lunamor responds that it is a sad story and is not suitable for telling at the current time. Rock also comments that other members of his family died during the time with Sadeas, and it is also unclear as to their relation to Rock.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
