'''Lopen''' is a [[Herdazian]] member of [[Bridge Four]] and a [[Order of Windrunners|Windrunner]] of the Third Ideal on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|121}}
}}
 
Lopen is related in one way or another to a significant portion of the Herdazian population in the Alethi warcamps{{wob ref|8262}} and often talks about his many cousins there. He often suggests going to one of his cousins for help, and is quite proud of their loyalty.{{book ref|sa1|62}} However, his definition of "cousin" is very broad and could include fifth cousins, or people dating his sister or his aunt.{{wob ref|7741}} In fact, Lopen's definition of a "cousin" seems to be broad enough to include anyone he feels kinship with, and has nothing to do with actual lineage.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}} When he began earning a stipend as a Radiant, he sent most of it to his family to help out the poorer cousins, of which a large part went to [[Rod]]'s family.{{book ref|sa3.5|7}}
{{sidequote|“Alethkar is next to Herdaz too,” Kaladin said. “So I’m as much your cousin as those people are.” Lopen tapped him on the shoulder and winked. “You’re finally figuring it out, gancho. Good job.”

The following are members of Lopen's extended family:
 
{{columns|
* [[Chilinko]] - Uncle
* [[Huio]] - Cousin
* [[Punio]] - Cousin
* [[Rod]] - Cousin

* [[Talik]] - Cousin{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}

Like other members of [[Bridge Four]], Lopen is loyal to their captain, [[Kaladin Stormblessed]]. Lopen has been invaluable in many of Kaladin's undertakings, acquiring and handling resources necessary to Kaladin's plans,{{book ref|sa1|32}}{{book ref|sa1|55}}{{book ref|sa1|62}}, providing helpful insights often wrapped in his unique sense of humor,{{book ref|sa2|12}}{{book ref|sa3|55}}, and simply being a trustworthy companion.{{book ref|sa1|59}}{{book ref|sa2|76}}
 
Lopen's lighthearted attitude often contrasts with Kaladin's seriousness, and at times the Bridge Four captain does not know what to make of the Herdazian.{{book ref|sa2|76}} Still, Kaladin has acknowledged Lopen's ability by promoting him to a leadership position just below that of [[Teft]] when Lopen reached the Second Ideal of the Windrunners.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
