== History ==
About four years before the Everstorm he was tasked with becoming dullform to disguise himself as a [[parshmen|parshman]] and infiltrate the warcamps. He travelledtraveled between warcamps for three years{{book ref|sa2|79}} before becoming part of [[Bridge Four]].{{book ref|sa1|46}}
 
Rlain is placed in Bridge Four as an experiment by [[Hashal]], to see if parshmen could be trusted to run bridges. The members of Kaladin's crew violently distrusted the parshman, wanting to place him up at the front of the bridge to be hit with an arrow instead of a human bridgeman, but Kaladin refused, giving the parshman the name "Shen" and insisting that he was to be treated as a member of the crew.{{book ref|sa1|46}} Rlain was upset by the crew's scavenging from dead Parshendi, and even more upset when Kaladin used Parshendi carapace as armour during a bridge run, to the point where he ended up being left behind on subsequent runs. He was retrieved from [[Shattered Plains|Sadeas warcamp]] and brought with the rest of the bridgemen to [[Shattered Plains|Kholin warcamp]] following Sadeas' betrayal and Bridge Four's rescue of Dalinar.
