Summary spoilers for the whole series

Kaladin's younger brother, a gentle apprentice carpenter who collected rocks and carved wood. Because Hearthstone's new citylord Roshone held a grudge against the family, Tien was drafted into Amaram's army at thirteen. Kaladin enlisted to protect him, but four months later Tien was left exposed at the front of a battle and killed before his brother's eyes, which ended Kaladin's hopes of becoming a surgeon.
