Kaladin is one of the most fascinating characters that I've ever experienced in fiction because of how he can be both super ordinary and immensely extraordinary at the exact same time. I can only speak for myself when I say I empathise with this dude so often, but I have a feeling most people who read The Stormlight Archive can relate to Kal to some degree. I'd make a terrible windrunner, though. I have a terrible fear of heights. So I'll leave that to Stormblessed.
@FilipeAguiarCarvalho yeah, definitely. Like, when we were first introduced to him I thought he was going to be a super boring side character who was perfect at everything. Boy was I wrong
I'm so glad that the decisions were made that made way of kings what it is today. The stormlight archive is phenomenal, and one of those reasons is the characters, with kaladin right up there at the top imo
@@aggravatedstrawberryyeah I really like Dal too, but my cousins (who I got into reading fantasy) didnt think his book was all that great. I think maybe bc my life has been affected by my father's alcoholism when I was younger (he just turned 60 and has been sober for 5 yrs now), and the struggles he went thru his entire life, that I perhaps can relate to Dalinar more, but idk. I feel like he is such a good character its hard not to feel for him. I also think that, with so many good chars, maybe some people gravitate towards other chars and so Dalinar is just some idiot who is responsible for some of the mess.
I have read many books, lots of them fantasy books, I have watched many series and movies of all kinds. No character has ever captivated me as much as kaladin. His lowest moments are heart wrenching, his highest are endge-of-your-seat and hold-your-breath elevating. He feels so real and human, and I know sanderson is renowned for his characters so I guess that's nothing new but still. Wow
Having read every book you've published, I'd say Kaladin is the best character you've come up with... So far. I was immediately gripped by his story, mostly because those first two chapters with him are so perfect. The first coming from the perspective of a kid who sees Kaladin as this great, almost mythical person, and then the next having a time jump and coming from his perspective at his lowest point. Immediately you're asking questions, and if you've read Sanderson before, you know the answers are going to be satisfying.
Brandon Sandersons character work is by far my favourite outside of The First Law Trilogy. And hearing that Kaladin's depression isn't his defining feature but only another layer of him struggling with wanting to do the most good he can is the reason why this character actually works well. Other writers get lost in the romantic aspect of depression, the woe, and such but forget there is a person there. This hits me personally as I hate being defined by my depression when I'd rather be known for the good I try to do. Kaladin resonates so well because of this understanding of how experiences and illness or disability affect people but don't make them defined by it. There are so many other characters I could point to in Stormlight with similar situations and they all work incredibly well. Also amazing job of painting the mini to Drew Olds! it looks fantastic!
I didn’t truly understand Kal until the past two years. I started reading Sanderson books in 2020, when I was helping out in my grandparents property. I was so focused on the world building and the immense and complex systems, that I semi-ignored the emotional aspect. This year, to prepare for Wind and Truth, I re-read SA. My grandfather passed on I. August of 2022, since then I have dealt with serious depression and anxiety. Kal was someone I could relate to. The helplessness of being unable to save someone who is sick, felt like it far outweighed the good I was able to do, even though I had no control over the things that happened to other people. Mr.Sanderson, I know you may never see this comment, but thank you. Your books have helped me through some of the darkest points in my life and made me feel lesss alone. Thank you.
I just have to say, I know some criticise your use of romance as part of your writing, but in my opinion that is what keeps me reading your books almost to the exclusion of anything else right now. It is that wonderful blend of world building, magic systems, action and romance with real characters with strengths and weaknesses yet while keeping it from tipping into the grim dark realm which drew me and is keeping me. I am looking forward to seeing who will be the perfect partner for Kaladin.
As someone who struggles with depression and is on a journey to learn about myself, I'm starting to see it as a byproduct of how deeply I feel things, how deeply I care, and how often reality cashes with that. So describing Kaladin's core as more of a push-pull makes so much sense.
Throughout reading stormlight I found that I personally related most to Kaladin. This was especially true when reading rhythm of war and viewing the struggles on the more personal scale, often I felt for the first time in my life that a something could accurately understand some of the things I was struggling with and ultimately pushed me to overcome my own struggles. It's interesting that you mention that depression was not at the forefront of who Kaladin is I personally faced the opposite to where I made it who I am, realizing that it was not through professional help and rhythm of war finally put me on the path to recovery. Thank you Brandon, journey before destination.
Kaladin wouldn't want to be defined by his depression is so right. Makes me feel a little bad for being one of the ones that would/has say that first when describing him.
Yeah. I was talking to a friend that I'm trying to get into SA and I was saying that Kal is a good guy at heart. His only desire is to take care of those around him and yet he's not boring as it may sound by this description. That's one of the most impressive achievements of Brando for me.
It’s not what defined Kaladin. But it is what separates him from countless other good but not as flawed protagonists. Seems natural to explain why he’s a rich and unique character
I feel proud that it was one of the last things that came to mind, lol. I remember it was a thing, but I think of it as just his internal conflict, not his personality.
Personally, I'd define him by his driving need to protect... well, basically everyone else. Arguably, that's what he chooses to define himself by when he becomes a Windrunner. The depression seems like a very unfortunate side effect of just how much he cares, possibly combined with preeixsting inborn issues. (shrugs) Probably more than you cared to hear me say.
I discovered Brandon during the pandemic and I've been glad ever since, all his books are amazing, the way he's changing the book world and kickstarter projects is just epic aswell.
Já tinha lido em algum lugar você comentando um pouco sobre a origem do Kaladin- é sempre bom aprender mais um pouco. Fiquei contente de saber que você não concebe nosso Kal apenas por sua depressão, é uma importante mensagem, o processo da vida dele está sendo incrível de acompanhar. No aguardo dos próximos capítulos de Wind and Truth 😊❤❤
Im JUST rereading the Stormlight archive for the third time And honestly it gets better And better each time i read it. Its Like having a favorite movie you play every time you Are ironing. Its the same with these books. Its such Joy And rest to be transported to Roshar....❤
I absolutely love all the layers of Kaladin as a character. I do think a lot of us sort of latched onto the depression, because it's so relatable to a lot of people. Also as a side note, I am SO deeply thankful his name is Kaladin and not Merin. I'm not published (never managed to get anything I've written to a level I'm happy with) .. But one of my main characters that I've written about 5 novel or novella length stories on is a guy named Merin, and that would have felt SO WEIRD when getting into Stormlight (which is now my fav book series btw)
I really do get frustrated when fans bring up depression so much when they speak of Kaladin. To many, i truly think his depression is the foremost factor for them, missing the point entirely. I think some people kinda glorify depression in a way, like by a character simply having it, it automatically makes them a good character. Kaladin is interesting because of how he is more than his depression and how he surpasses it, not that he has it. I deal with depression, and I’m so glad to see a character that has depression without it being 90% of their character.
I read The Way of Kings for the first time some 3 years ago and Kaladin quickly became my favourite character. I struggle with anxiety and depression myself, so I really connected to his struggles and that he keeps pushing, despite everything that happens to him. People struggling will know how disorders like anxiety and depression can distort reality and make you feel like you're not yourself and your life will never improve. Kaladin's story is an example that you're not defined by your traumas. His story is partially about him learning to accept himself and make peace with his past. He slowly learns to also consider his own heart and calling, because most of his life he's been sacrificing himself while trying to protect everyone else. The fourt ideal basically says: "Let go. You can't control everything."
I'm so thankful to you for creating Kaladin. He is my favorite character ever. Reading his journey has helped me in so many ways. I love him like he's real
Fantastic video! Really hoping it's gonna end up being a series showing these models (that I myself really need to paint!) while hearing about the character origins
Kaladin is among my favorite in the Cosmere, and I think his journey is reflective of my own with my ADHD and antisocial tendencies. Syl is just above him.
After reading Way of Kings Prime I have come to appreciate Kaladin even more. Merin was a pretty standard character but when you added the things that made him into Kaladin he became so much more. Thank you for not being satisfied with 'alright'
That’s the whole point. We cant let the depression define us. His biggest personal struggle when he almost lost Syl wasn’t because of his depression, it was because he was conflicted on who he was meant to protect.
Kal is a great example of what happens when goodness and curiosity are constantly pulling in equal parts. Dude is smart and inquisitive. Is also empathetic and decisive... that nature makes it difficult to be right in one's own eyes.
Impressed that you started off with a very generic heroic knight character and ended up with such a complex hero that we can all identify with in some way. I simply love how human Kaladin is. As someone who has struggled with depression for many years, I definitely would not think of it as defining me, not because I want to hide my flaws, but simply because it's very very far down on the list of things I associate with my identity. So, I love how you pointed out, "the story is not depression, the story is Kaladin"
I like Kaladin's story line, but he isn't my favorite character. I really appreciate how you told the rest of the story of Eshonai at the end of RofW. I was not expecting that!
I wouldn’t even say depression is part of his personality. I’d say it’s one of his battles, his personality is fighting it (even when it feels like he hasn’t got much energy left to fight it)
I come from the video, when history telling meets mechanics. Im updating this weekend watching all videos i couldn't before. Quick question: in the future Mistborn RPG if somebody create a Feruchemist in era 1, will also be able to store luck at some point?
Yeah, I thought so too! They both have the ability to deeply impact and inspire a group of people when they put their mind to it, but Kaladin feels like a more complex and better realized version of the architype. I think another good example of a better realized version of Raoden is Kelsier, where both are focused on displaying relentless optimism in the face of adversity.
It was awesome to hear you talk about the way you builded kaladin, will you do the same for other characters? (Sorry if there are any typos, english is a second languaje)
What is the scale? I saw on the link one was 45 and another at 75mm. I want to collect and paint them but I also want a smaller (32mm) scale. Will there be an option to buy STL files?
So Brandon says that Kaladin makes a different choice compared to his Prime counter part. Never read Prime, don't plan to. However, anyone who knows what this decision is, also knows that really the choice is made for him. As he is in the process of choosing option A, circumstances suddenly shift and he is presented with a lot of new information, which very strongly influence him to instead choose option B. I'm not really trying to make any kind of point here, just something i thought was interesting to consider. That Kaladin and his beta version aren't so much different people, but that they are presented with similar, but different, circumstances. Those differences change not only the path they walk, but who they end up becoming.
I think every writer has started by developing a really generic protagonist. My turning point was when I introduced the protagonist's sister who was so different from him yet she was still his favorite person, and this dynamic between them began to actually develop an actual interesting personality, motivations and flaws. I was left with little choice but to make his sister a much more important character to the plot in order to truly bring out what makes him interesting.
Ok i have seen kaladin everything from albino white to now dark polynesian. Wish brandon would just pick one. I don't care what, just pick what they look like and stick with it. This painting looks nothing like kal from cover of the books.
I hope Kal isn't as whiny as he was in book four, I really can't take any more of these whiny characters. Depression, seriously, I don't read fantasy books to have to face a whiny fictional character that bores & depresses me. Enough, please!
*slaps car hood* this bad boy can fit so much trauma in it
I could just sit and watch these minifigure paintings while Brandon talked about his work for hours upon hours.
Kaladin is one of the most fascinating characters that I've ever experienced in fiction because of how he can be both super ordinary and immensely extraordinary at the exact same time. I can only speak for myself when I say I empathise with this dude so often, but I have a feeling most people who read The Stormlight Archive can relate to Kal to some degree.
I'd make a terrible windrunner, though. I have a terrible fear of heights. So I'll leave that to Stormblessed.
I have the same perspective on Dalinar. They are both written really well
What's incredible about Kal is that he is *THE* good guy and yet he is deep, flawed and interesting. It's hard for a good guy be that cool.
@FilipeAguiarCarvalho yeah, definitely. Like, when we were first introduced to him I thought he was going to be a super boring side character who was perfect at everything. Boy was I wrong
Yeah its relatable, same reason why Cloud in FF7 is a GOAT too
Its very relatable, like the way he thinks and acts its very human, this is why he is such an interesting take on characters.
I hope we get a video like this for Shallan and Szeth.
I'm so glad that the decisions were made that made way of kings what it is today. The stormlight archive is phenomenal, and one of those reasons is the characters, with kaladin right up there at the top imo
I do love kaladin but I'm partial to Dalinar. I think Dalinar and Kaladin are some of the best written characters.

I'm in love with this story time with Brandon here ❤
I have a feeling that Kaladin will become Honor someday. Maybe would have a beer with Sazed, on occasion.
One of my favourite characters of all time for sure
I discovered Brandon during the pandemic and I've been glad ever since, all his books are amazing, the way he's changing the book world and kickstarter projects is just epic aswell.

Sure. That will $75 per model please

Quick question: in the future Mistborn RPG if somebody create a Feruchemist in era 1, will also be able to store luck at some point?
I want one for Adolin
Anyone else think of Raoden as an early effort at a Kaladin type. For some reason I kept thinking back to Elantris while reading Kaladin in WoK.
Yeah, I thought so too! They both have the ability to deeply impact and inspire a group of people when they put their mind to it, but Kaladin feels like a more complex and better realized version of the architype.
I think another good example of a better realized version of Raoden is Kelsier, where both are focused on displaying relentless optimism in the face of adversity.
Kaladin is one of the reasons I am studying to be a licensed therapist
It was awesome to hear you talk about the way you builded kaladin, will you do the same for other characters? (Sorry if there are any typos, english is a second languaje)
Yooo it’s my favorite character
This made me miss my family. Thanks jerk.
Bro what
Kaladin could be a great candidate for Harmony. Kaladin is both ruin and preservation
Yep, he's definitely dying in wind and truth after this 😢
Anyone know who did artwork of Kal looking into the storm at the end of the video?
Does anyone know what song/music is that one in the background?
What is the scale? I saw on the link one was 45 and another at 75mm.
I want to collect and paint them but I also want a smaller (32mm) scale.
Will there be an option to buy STL files?
I am Kaladin 🌉4
The thing for me is this not a bad mini its not the best I have seen at that scale but its not the worst either its just fine.
creating The Lopen next?
So Brandon says that Kaladin makes a different choice compared to his Prime counter part. Never read Prime, don't plan to. However, anyone who knows what this decision is, also knows that really the choice is made for him. As he is in the process of choosing option A, circumstances suddenly shift and he is presented with a lot of new information, which very strongly influence him to instead choose option B. I'm not really trying to make any kind of point here, just something i thought was interesting to consider. That Kaladin and his beta version aren't so much different people, but that they are presented with similar, but different, circumstances. Those differences change not only the path they walk, but who they end up becoming.
Does Kaladin's name come from Paladin?
Not even going lie Kal looks like a native american chief in this picture 😂
I think every writer has started by developing a really generic protagonist. My turning point was when I introduced the protagonist's sister who was so different from him yet she was still his favorite person, and this dynamic between them began to actually develop an actual interesting personality, motivations and flaws.

Is that a windsor and newton series 7? I bet someone has a warhammer army...
KELsier + RaoDEN = KaLaDiN Brandon has a thing with male lead names
I know this video is marketing for Wind and Truth and that is exactly what makes me fear for the fate of homeboy Kal 😅
