He trains Vin, whichwho he hasdiscovers discoveredis elsewherea Mistborn like himself. He has discovered the [[malatium|eleventh metal]], which he claims that it is going to be used to defeat the Lord Ruler, and spreads this knowledge to the Skaa. This encourages their revolt, and their deifying of him. Kelsier sacrifices himself fighting an Inquisitor, but a [[Kandrakandra]] steals his bones and impersonates him, giving him the illusion of immortality in the minds of the Skaa.
 
After his sacrifice, he leaves Vin the eleventh metal, which he never discovered how to use. Vin confronts the Lord Ruler, burning the metal as she does so. She sees an alternate past, and finds out that he is not [[Alendi]], the prophesied savior of mankind, but [[Rashek]], a [[Terris]] Packmanpackman and a [[Feruchemist]]. Using this knowledge, Vin seperates him from the Metalminds in which he stored his age[[metalmind]]s, causing him to age rapidly and die.
