Kaladin's Parents

Recommended Posts

I just have to say, Kaladin may be the only main POV in the entire cosmere whose parents (a) are *both* alive and (b) have ACTUAL NAMES. 

And now they are all BACK TOGETHER AGAIN in Urithiru. 

Lucky boy! 

Let's see if that lasts the entire book, shall we?

Still a Lucky Boy. Is he the only character in the entire cosmere now whose parents have survived intact and for so long? I can't think of any others...

Certainly is in Stormlight now that we know Szeth’s dad is dead. 

Mistborn spoilers:

Outside chance Wax’s parents are secretly still alive. At the start of the Era 2 Wax thought his wife, uncle and sister were all dead and none of them were

Speaking of, a decent number of main characters have killed their wives. 

Cosmere spoilers:

Vasher, Wax and Dalinar.

Spook, possibly. Not that his parents were great.

If you consider Kell to be Vin’s real dad then he has outlived her by several centuries. (Kell is 100% Vin’s dad. Blood does not make family. Vin only had one actual parent in her life; I do not count her egg and sperm donors as parents.)

MeLaan’s ‘parents’ are around, if you consider the earlier Kandra gens parents.

Marasi has both parents, I believe.

Allik may have parents.
 

Susebron may have both parents still; we know the GK just retires after the new one is born.

We don’t know if Lightsong or Blushweaver’s parents are around.

Lopen might have two.

Cord did; we don’t know Rock’s fate yet.

Szeth did until this book; it seems Neturo is dead now. 
 

Some of the Elantrian kids had two parents. And there were Kiin’s kids. Also his step-kids, if you count him as the father (which I totally do).

There’s also Ais’ daughter.

TLDR; side characters are more likely to have living parents, as are the children of main characters.
