Isasik (Windrunner)

Isasik is a Windrunner and member of Bridge Thirteen on Roshar. He is bonded to an unnamed Honorspren.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Surgebinding ===
Isasik is a Windrunner, having bonded an unnamed Honorspren. The Nahel Bond gives him the ability to manipulate the Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation, as well as breathe in Stormlight, granting him heightened speed, agility, durability, stamina, and healing. It is unknown what Oaths Isasik has sworn, but he is no longer a squire. As a Knights Radiant who has access to two Surges, Isasik also has a resonance. Like the other Windrunners, this gives him an increased number of squires. His squires are also more powerful than those of the other Orders.
== History ==
=== Bridge Thirteen ===
==== Running bridges for Sadeas ====
It is unknown what Isasik did to end up in the bridge crews, but he was put in Bridge Thirteen by Gaz. During his last few weeks as a bridgeman, he served under Rial. He spent his time in the army running bridges and, when he wasn’t on duty for an assault, doing menial labour around the camp. After assaulting the Tower, which led to the Battle of the Tower, the entirety of Bridge Thirteen, which included Isasik, was freed by Dalinar Kholin. Furthermore, Isasik was given the offer to join the Kholin military, which he accepted.
==== Freedom and serving Dalinar ====
During the following weeks, Isasik was trained, equipped and taught to be a soldier and bodyguard. His crew, after Kaladin deemed them ready, also began patrolling the nearby wildernis. Bridge Thirteen was also a part of Highprince Kholin’s expedition to the center of the Shattered Plains. After arriving at Urithiru, Isasik and the rest of his crew acted as guards for the Kholin family. 
=== Knights Radiant ===
Together with the rest of Bridge Thirteen, Isasik became Teft’s squire sometime after the Battle of Thaylen Field. During the year that followed, many of them, including Isasik, gained their own spren, becoming full Radiants. After hearing of Teft’s death at the hands of Moash, the entirety of Bridge Thirteen swore to get vengeance, and began wearing red glyphwards.
==== Raid on the Ghostbloods in Narak ====
Isasik was among the dozen Windrunners ordered by Dalinar to aid the Unseen Court in a raid on a Ghostblood safehouse in Narak. They stayed close to the safehouse, waiting for Shallan to activate a spanreed, which would be their cue to strike. Erinor, their Stoneward, spoke to the stones, and got the impression that there was a secret exit nearby. A few of them went to explore it, but while there, they received Shallan’s signal, and they noticed a few Ghostbloods fleeing in their direction. Most of the strike team, having remained near the safehouse, ignored the secret exit and moved into the building, having Erinor melt the basement’s ceiling. The Windrunners quickly swept into the room, although the Ghostbloods had already disappeared. After realising that many of the Ghostbloods had escaped via that same secret exit, several Windrunners left to chase them. It is unknown if Isasik was among them, if he stayed behind or had originally remained at the exit. The strike team took a number of captives, although some Ghostbloods got away.
==== The Ghostbloods in Shadesmar ====
Seeing that a few Ghostbloods had escaped to Shadesmar and would soon make their way to Urithiru, Shallan sent two Windrunners, Isasik and Breteh, along with three of Breteh’s squires, ahead to search for them. The Windrunners spoke with the three guards posted nearby, but came to the conclusion that nobody had arrived yet. After Shallan’s arrival, they left the squires behind to watch for any approaching Ghostbloods and lashed themselves, and the guards, towards the Bondsmiths. Once there, the group kept watch for any nearby Ghostblood agents, until Shallan realised that they would use Lightweavings as a disguise. Immediately, the three guards from before, who were actually three Ghostbloods, turned on them.
While the two foreigners, Lieke and Iyatil, leapt for Breteh, Isasik tackled Iyatil. It quickly became clear that he was no match for her however, as she slit his throat within seconds of their struggle. Renarin came to Isasik’s aid, healing his wound. Despite this, Isasik was to dazed to fight. He recovered and, after the Ghostbloods had been mostly defeated, he walked over to Mraize, who was stuck on the ceiling, having been lashed there by Breteh. He was confused by Radiant’s appearence in the fight, though he accepted the aid. One of the Ghostbloods, Iyatil, spoke to them, telling the group that the actual guards (who they had impersonated) were being held at the bottom of the tower, and would soon be executed if no one came for them. Breteh and Isasik, along with their Spren, immediately flew down to free them.
While the two Windrunners were at the base of the tower, busy freeing the guards, a large explosion occurred in the room they had just left. When the Windrunners went to check it out, they found the large room broken and smoking, the floor had been ripped open and the ceiling was a fractured web. They immediately sent for their superior, Lopen, who alerted the Queen and went to check it out himself. The three of them confirmed that there was no sign of Shallan or her companions, and resolved that there was nothing they could do to fix the situation. Afterwards, Isasik joined the group of Windrunners who flew The Mink to Herdaz, and then flew to either Narak or Thaylen City.
