== Appearance and Personality ==
Peet is lean and balding with an oval face.{{book ref|sa1|43}}{{book ref|sa2|46}} Others see him as quietly dependable.{{book ref|sa1|57}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==
Peet is trained in the use of the spear.{{book ref|sa1|43}} He is also a Windrunner, having sworn at least the [[Immortal Words#The First Ideal|First Ideal]] of the [[Knights Radiant]]. This allows him to draw in [[Stormlight]] and use the [[Surge]]s of [[Surgebinding#Gravitation|Gravitation]] and [[Surgebinding#Adhesion|Adhesion]].{{book ref|sa3|37}}{{book ref|sa3|55}}

== History ==
=== Bridgeman ===
Peet was one of the members of Bridge Four who stubbornly resisted Kaladin's efforts to take charge of the group.{{book ref|sa1|27}} He did, however, assist Kaladin by fetching a watergourd for him while he did some basic field surgery on [[Leyten]] on a bridge run.{{book ref|sa1|17}} He and [[Narm]] were wounded in one of the first bridge runs after Kaladin's decision to save Bridge Four, adding to the number of [[bridgemen]] from the crew who still needed food but drew no pay.{{book ref|sa1|30}}

After Kaladin healed from his time in the highstorm, he found that Peet and [[Hobber]] had both healed enough to join in again with carrying the bridge. Later, the crew gave [[Rock]] a gift in appreciation of his nightly stew, and Peet pointed out to him that besides the razor there were also a piece of polished steel for a mirror, some soap, and a strop for sharpening.{{book ref|sa1|40}}

When Brightlord [[Hashal]] replaced [[Lamaril]] as captain over the bridgemen, he assigned Bridge Four permanently to chasm duty. Peet grew worried and asked Kaladin what they would do, not knowing that Kaladin himself was dealing with growing doubts that he would be able to help Bridge Four at all. Later, in the chasms, Kaladin offered to train the bridgemen to use a spear in preparation for an eventual escape attempt, and the entire group agreed to his plan.{{book ref|sa1|43}}

Bridge Four trained in the chasms until they had rudimentary skill as spearmen and used the bridge runs to practice their method of using [[Parshendi]] carapace as armor that would draw the enemy's attention to a select few bridgemen instead of the group at large. Peet and the rest of the Bridge Four went on the joint assault between [[Dalinar]] and [[Torol Sadeas]] that culminated in the [[Battle of the Tower]].{{book ref|sa1|64}} After Sadeas' betrayal, when Kaladin noticed him retreating, he told Rock and Peet to take the wounded [[Teft]] and help him along.{{book ref|sa1|66}}

Bridge Four had an opportunity to escape the army with their bridge on the way from the [[Tower (Roshar)|Tower]] back to the warcamp, but the men all wholeheartedly backed Kaladin's decision to return to the Tower to aid Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|67}} After Kaladin spoke the Second Ideal of the [[Windrunners]], Peet was stunned by what he saw as Kaladin singlehandedly took on the Parshendi at the far end of their bridge.{{book ref|sa1|68}}

Dalinar traded [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Oathbringer]] for the lives of all of Sadeas' bridgemen, bringing them over to his warcamp and offering them a place in his army. That night around the fire, Kaladin showed the men his ability to breathe in [[Stormlight]] and explained that he didn't know much about his abilities. Rock suggested throwing Kaladin off a cliff, and Peet, missing the humor of Rock's novel way to get Kaladin to manifest his powers, wanted to know what good that would do.{{book ref|sa1|73}}

=== Freedom ===
Peet and the rest of Bridge Four, accepting positions as Dalinar's guards, undertook the duties of guarding the Kholins and training the rest of the brigemen to turn them into soldiers.{{book ref|sa2|2}} As free men, they sometimes went out into the market on free evenings; Peet met a barmaid named [[Ka]] at the [[Ornery Chull]] during these trips and began showing interest in her.{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa2|46}}

On the excursion when Kaladin joined Peet, [[Sigzil]], [[Moash]], and [[Rock]] on their trip to the tavern, Peet was able to secure them a table only because of his relationship with Ka. Sigzil, seeing the two of them interact, was prompted to discuss housing for married members of Bridge Four with Kaladin, who had not given a thought to the issue. Once the group was seated, Peet joined in the discussion as Rock related the story of the creation of the [[Horneater Peaks]] until Ka came by again and Peet got up to help her bus the tables.{{book ref|sa2|46}}

As the Kholin family guards, Bridge Four supplied members to guard [[Adolin]] as well as Dalinar and the [[Elhokar|king]]; on the day of Adolin's duel against [[Elit]], Peet and another bridgeman were on duty in Adolin's staging room. After [[Relis]] stormed in to confront Adolin, the bridgemen witnessed Adolin make his disastrous agreement to fight Relis and "whomever" he would bring.{{book ref|sa2|53}}

Bridge Four accompanied Dalinar on his expedition to [[Stormseat]] that culminated in the [[Battle of Narak]] and the discovery of [[Urithiru]]. Peet was part of the group that went with [[Shallan]] to explore the plateau that turned out to be an [[Oathgate]] platform. He returned to Dalinar to tell him the Alethi armies needed to get onto that plateau to escape the converging [[Everstorm]] and [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|85}} Shallan succeeded in transporting them all to Urithiru, after which Peet and the others of Bridge Four who had survived the battle returned to the [[Shattered Plains]] to await Kaladin's return from his fight with [[Szeth]].{{book ref|sa2|87}}

=== Windrunner Squire ===

After moving into Urithiru, groups of soldiers and scouts, including Bridge Four, explored the city's maze-like tunnels. On one scouting trip, Bridge Four discovered Sadeas' corpse.{{book ref|sa3|2}} When they later found the body of [[Vedekar Perel]], Peet noted that it looked remarkably like what happened to Sadeas.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Later, he and [[Leyten]] discovered [[Oathbringer (Shardblade)|Oathbringer]] in a planter, where it had fallen after [[Adolin]] threw it out the window. They showed the [[Shardblade]] to [[Dalinar]], who took possession of it again.{{book ref|sa3|28}}

Sometime after vacating the warcamps in favor of Urithiru, Peet and Ka became betrothed. Sigzil, seeing that their impending marriage presented a deadline of sorts, brought up to Kaladin for the second time the issue of requisitioning housing for married members of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa3|35}}

As he was one of the first members of Bridge Four to become a squire, Kaladin assigned Peet to teach a group of bridgemen how to breathe in Stormlight during a Windrunner squire recruiting session. Later that day, [[Hobber]] used some Stormlight to heal his legs, and [[Drehy]] and Peet were the first ones there to help him stand for the first time.{{book ref|sa3|37}} During another of the training sessions, Peet trained the ten newest squires, including [[Lyn]] and [[Colot]], leading them in practice with [[Lashings]].{{book ref|sa3|55}} After Kaladin left on the expedition to [[Kholinar]], Dalinar lent Bridge Four [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]] so they could continue practicing with their Windrunner powers.{{book ref|sa3|64}}

Peet was with the group that accompanied Dalinar to [[Thaylen City]] to check on [[Amaram]]'s progress helping rebuild the city and to meet with Queen [[Fen]] and the other monarchs who had joined their coalition. After the [[Eila Stele]]'s translation was distributed to the coalition, Bridge Four left the city and returned to Urithiru. When they arrived back at the barracks, they discovered Rock and [[Bisig]] injured and unconscious in the barracks while [[Eth]], the one who had held the Honorblade that day, was dead. Peet tended to Bisig and suggested that Rock be treated by [[Renarin]]. Shortly after, Bisig regained consciousness enough to relate to them what had transpired.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}

After defeating an invasion of Parshendi, the new full Windrunner Teft led Bridge Four and a division of Alethi soldiers through Urithiru's Oathgate into the middle of the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} Later, at [[Taravangian]]'s request during the post-battle efforts, Teft, Leyten, and Peet transported a twenty-foot square platform carrying the wounded towards the upper city.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

=== Windrunner ===

Following the battle at Thaylen City, Peet bonded a spren of his own.{{book ref|sa4|12}} He likely participated in the evacuation of [[Hearthstone]] with his fellow Windrunners, engaging the [[Fused]] in combat, before returning to Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|10}} Following Kaladin's retirement, Peet and a majority of the Bridge Four Windrunners joined Dalinar's forces on the battlefield in [[Emul]].{{book ref|sa4|23}} Following the occupation of Urithiru, Peet returned for Teft's funeral, along with the rest of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa4|114}}
