Kaladin Stormblessed

"He'd never been an optimist. He saw the world as it was, or he tried to. That was a problem, though, when the truth he saw was so terrible."

- Narration

Kaladin was born to a darkeyed surgeon, basically a serf that knew medicinal practices. He eventually left to join the army, because the local lord was an ass. After years of successful campaigning, he took down a Shardbearer, an elite troop nearly invulnerable to normal weaponry and who could kill masses with a single swing. The new lord he served turned out to be an asshole, too, and imprisoned Kaladin's squad so that he could claim the shardblade for himself. After being sold into slavery, Kaladin eventually finds his way into the camps of Torol Sadeas, one of the Alethi highprinces fighting the Parshendi.

He gets assigned to a bridge crew, running portable bridges across the plateus to assist the army. He and his crew eventually get noticed and recruited by Dalinar Kohlin, who later goes on to re-found the Knights Radiant. As the first of the new Windrunners, an order that manipulated gravity to make the sky their own. He performs as a Windrunner admirably, driven by his addiction to saving others, and fully forms his order, recruiting other Bridgemen who could bond the correct Spren to become Windrunners.
