Hazekillers are masterful assassins who are employed to kill Allomancers.[1]
During 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.[1]
After the Catacendre, 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.[2]
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 with a mixture of ceramics and metal.[2]
