== 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.{{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

====Early Bridge Four ====
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]],

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

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.
After an evening training former members of Bridge Seventeen, Rock chased off people attempting to draw the members of Bridge Four, due to their fame from saving Dalinar.{{book ref|sa2|31}} Rock gained another member to serve under him after [[Hobber]] lost the use of his legs fighting the [[Szeth|Assassin in White]], bringing the total up to four alongside Lopen and Dabbid. Lopen also recruited additional relatives to join the crew during the time in Dalinar's army.{{book ref|sa2|22}}
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}}

Upon his return, Kaladin took Bridge Four to the Shattered Plains to practice using their Radiant abilities, using the emerald gemstone reserve.{{book ref|sa3|35}} Rock set up his cauldron and began cooking stew for the bridgemen training in combat, and mused on how he found the Shattered Plains to be beautiful. Rock recited the [[Order of Windrunners#The First Ideal|First Ideal]] quietly while cooking, as the rest of the bridgemen recited it while training. He was skeptical that Hobber could draw in Stormlight, but Kaladin insisted that all of Bridge Four could do so. Rock worried that they were going to war and that several of them would die.

ROck invited Renarin to come over to help cook and mentioned to him that he could never see Renarin's Spren, [[Glys]]. Rock comforts Renarin as he questioned his belonging to Bridge Four and recommended he talk to Rlain as they would share the experience of feeling like the odd one out. [[Skar]] taught Rock how to draw in Stormlight, being pleased that he was a good teacher. Rock noticed a large group of [[honorspren]] watching Bridge Four practice and talked to Sylphrena about how they would not interact with her since she had sought out Kaladin, and they did not like to admit they were wrong. Rock offers infused gemstones to the spren, who drew it in before departing. Hobber, Rock's assistant, was able to restore his Shardblade-cut legs and walk. {{book ref|sa3|37}}

====Hearthstone====
Rock accompanied the rest of Bridge Four on the expedition to evacuate the residents of Kaladin's home village [[Hearthstone]] using [[Navani]]'s newest creation, the floating platform known as the ''[[Fourth Bridge]]''. He assisted in the battle against the [[Heavenly Ones]] by supplying Kaladin with spears and warning other members of the expedition about [[Lezian]], a new form of [[Fused]] that had not been encountered before.
====Departure====
