Breteh

Breteh is a Windrunner and member of Bridge Thirteen on Roshar. He played a part in Shallan’s raid on a Ghostblood hideout in Narak.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Surgebinding ===
Breteh is a Windrunner of the third oath, granting him the ability to manipulate the Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation and summon his unnamed female honorspren as a Shardblade. By breathing in Stormlight, he gains heightened speed, agility, durability, stamina, and healing. Breteh is also skilled in the use of Gravitation, being used to flying above a battleground or through the Urithiru hallways. Breteh has at least three squires. As a Knights Radiant who has access to two Surges, Breteh also has a resonance. Like others of his order, this gives him an increased number of squires. These squires are also more powerful than those of the other Orders.
== History ==
=== Bridge Thirteen ===
==== Under Sadeas ====
It is unknown how Breteh ended up in the bridge crews, but he served under Rial for the last few weeks before being freed. His life was hell back then, often having to engage in the difficult and dangerous task of carrying the army’s bridges from plateau to plateau. After their last run, during the Battle of the Tower, Bridge Thirteen returned to camp. A short while after arriving though, Kholin’s army entered the camp. Highprince Kholin spoke to Sadeas, offering his Shardblade for the bridge crews. Sadeas accepted, and Dalinar gave the crews freedom, as well as the choice to join his army. Breteh was among the people who accepted his offer.
==== Under Dalinar ====
The following weeks, Breteh and his fellow bridgemen were trained, equipped and taught to be soldiers. Eventually, after Kaladin deemed them ready, various bridge crews began patrolling the nearby wildernis. Bridge Thirteen was a part of Highprince Kholin’s expedition to the center of the Shattered Plains. After arriving at Urithiru, Breteh and the rest of his crew acted as guards for the Kholin family. 
=== Knight’s Radiant ===
Breteh, together with the rest of Bridge Thirteen, became Teft’s squires sometime after the Battle of Thaylen Field. During the year that followed, many of them, including Breteh, became full Radiants. After hearing of Teft’s death at the hands of Moash, the entirety of Bridge Thirteen, including Breteh, swore to get vengeance, and began wearing red glyphwards.
==== Raid on the Ghostbloods in Narak ====
Breteh, along with a dozen other Windrunners, was ordered 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 ignored the secret exit and moved into the safehouse, 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 Breteh 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.
==== Fighting 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, Breteh and Isasik, along with three of Breteh’s squires ahead to search for them. They 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.
The two foreigners, Lieke and Iyatil leapt for Breteh, who engaged them. While Isasik tackled Iyatil, Breteh and his spren fought Lieke. As the fight progressed, Rlain joined them and Breteh left them to engage Mraize. Together, Breteh’s spren and Rlain managed to back Lieke into a wall, after which the spren ran him through with her blade. Breteh himself managed to lash Mraize to the ceiling, although it took him a considerable amount of effort. 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, which went well, 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, Breteh joined the group of Windrunners who flew The Mink to Herdaz.
