==History==
Yake was already in the [[Sadeas]] [[bridge crew]]s when [[Kaladin]] arrived to the [[Shattered Plains]] in {{Rosharan date|1173}}. The reason he was a bridgeman is unknown.

Yake, Moash, and [[Teft]] were selected by Kaladin to train with [[Zahel]] and [[Ivis]], learning how to deal with [[Shardblade]]s and use [[stances]]. Zahel chided Yake for picking up one of his colored stones. Yake briefly wielded a Blade, and was awestruck by it. He also practiced dodging blows from a Blade. He found Ivis attractive even though she was [[lighteyes|lighteyed]], unlike Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|44}}
