Hazekillers are masterful assassins who are employed to kill Mistborn and Mistings.

In the time of the Final Empire, hazekillers were non-Misting specialists trained to assassinate Mistings and Mistborn, armed with simple, non-metallic weapons and shields, notably duelling canes and shields to deflect coins and other projectiles. They worked in large groups to overwhelm mistings.

In the time of Elendel, the term "Hazekiller" is considered to be archaic, it is currently unknown if hazekillers still exist in the era or do so under a different name.

Ranette pays homage to hazekillers by making special ammunition rounds to dispatch individual Mistings and naming them "Hazekiller rounds", such as a round that causes loud noise to panic and discomfort a Tineye or a Coinshot round made of ceramics.
