Formation[]
After the battle at the Tower in which Sadeas abandoned Dalinar,[3] the majority of Cobalt guards have been killed. As such, Dalinar has to supplement his forces. To do this he decides that he wants Sadeas' bridgemen and trades his Shardblade to Sadeas for them.[4]
As the best trained and most trusted of the bridgmen, Bridge Four is made into the new King's Guard.[1]
