== History ==
=== Early Life ===
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.
 
At some point one of his elder brothers died, elevating him to third son and allowing him to follow his passion as a craftsmen, with specific regards to cooking.
 
===The Shattered Plains===
====Challenge for Shards====
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.

==== Bridge Four ====
Rock joined the bridge crews in early 1173 and spent several months there before [[Kaladin]] was appointed his new bridgeleader.{{book ref|sa3|37}} 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}}
