'''Kelsier''' is a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] from [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb1|2}} He is stern and intense, but always smiling; another act of rebellion against the Lord Ruler's oppression. He hates injustice and takes this hatred to the extreme, which originally resulted in him being unable to see good in any of the nobility. This was changed by [[Vin]] who fell in love with [[Elend Venture]]. Kelsier went on to save Elend's life from an [[inquisitor]]. His late wife [[Mare]] collected pre-Ascension memorabilia, and he keeps one piece, a drawing of a [[Flower picture|flower]],{{book ref|mb1|17}} to inspire his crew. Kelsier is the younger brother of [[Marsh]], who is disappointed at Kelsier's apparent lack of direction or purpose until Kelsier leads the [[skaa rebellion]]. He always keeps a smile on his face, because that is the one thing the Lord Ruler can't take from him.
 
 
== Relationships ==
 
{{image|Marsh Kelsier.jpg|side=left|width=200px|With Marsh}}
 
=== Marsh ===
 
{{quote
 
|No, Kelsier was not fond of Marsh. But strangely, he still loved him.
 
|Kelsier{{msh ref|2|2}}
 
}}
 
 
[[Marsh]] is Kelsier’s older brother. The two of them have a strained relationship. Marsh resents Kelsier because Kelsier had success with the skaa rebellion soon after Marsh quit being its leader. Marsh doesn’t like a lot of Kelsier’s actions and the way he handles the rebellion. He strongly disapproves of the way Kelsier flippantly kills noblemen and those who serve them without a second thought.
 
Despite his disapproval of Kelsier’s actions, Marsh is still willing to infiltrate the [[Steel Ministry]] as part of Kelsier’s plan. Despite their strained relationship, Kelsier is still grieved and angry when they find evidence of Marsh’s death.{{book ref|mb1|32}}
 
Marsh is aware of Kelsier’s current activities as a [[Cognitive Shadow]].{{wob ref|12647}}
 
 
=== Vin ===
 
{{quote
 
|I don't want to be responsible for something happening to you, Vin. Not again.
 
|Kelsier{{book ref|mb1|17}}
 
}}
 
 
 
Kelsier is Vin’s mentor and teaches her to use her Allomantic abilities. Though [[Vin]] initially is wary and suspicious of him, she eventually learns to trust him, and he becomes somewhat of a father figure to her. He tries to teach Vin to smile and occasionally look on the bright side of things. They go on several outings together, including fighting [[Inquisitors]] this leads to Vin almost dying however and changes how Kelsier runs the crew. Though he is killed by the Lord Ruler, he watches over Vin as a Cognitive Shadow. He feels guilty for abandoning her but does his best to help her. He eventually plays an important role in freeing her from Ruin’s influence.
 
 
=== Gemmel ===
 
Gemmel is Kelsier's mentor in the allomantic arts, meeting each other after Kelsier escaped from his captivity in Hathsin. Gemmel frequently put Kelsier into life and death situations in order to push him to learn how to use his powers.{{book ref|mb1|5}}{{book ref|mb1|8}}{{book ref|11m}}
 
 
Seeing his powers, Gemmel wondered what he unleashed upon the world in teaching Kelsier allomancy.{{book ref|mb1|27}}
 
 
=== Hoid ===
 
{{quote
 
| Deal with your own stupid planet, you idiot. Don't make me come over there and slap you around again.
 
| [[Hoid]] to Kelsier through [[Shallan]]{{book ref|sa4|115}}
 
}}
 
 
He and Hoid have a very antagonistic relationship one with one another, stretching back to when they first met and got into a violent fight.{{msh ref|2|1}}{{wob ref|4058}} Merely interacting with Hoid for a brief amount of time was enough to send Kelsier into a murderous rage.{{msh ref|2|1}}
 
 
Hoid greatly disapproves of Kelsier's interference with Roshar through the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa4|115}} He considers him to be very dangerous.{{book ref|sa4|64}} Hoid has also taken direct action against him, giving Wax an unsealed coppermind containing knowledge that he would rather keep hidden.{{book ref|mb6|11}}{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} At the time of meeting, he saw Kelsier as a wild card that he didn't want to deal with.{{msh ref|2|1}}
 
 
=== Gavilar ===
 
{{image|Kelsier by Gar leyva.jpeg|side=right|width=300px|Kelsier}}
 
He and Gavilar were working against each other to an unknown extent. Their relationship was the sort to where Gavilar was quick to believe that he was the one who ordered his murder.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
 
 
=== Ati ===
 
{{quote
 
|You can say what you wish, but you don't own me. I am '''not''' yours.
 
|Kelsier{{msh ref|4|4}}
 
}}
 
 
Kelsier is terrified by Ati and the power that he holds, seeing and feeling it through the Well of Ascension.{{msh ref|2|2}}
 
 
Ati manipulated Kelsier for many years, grooming him in order to bring about his release. When Kelsier was in the Cognitive Realm after his release, he often would show up to him in order to mock him and his inability to do anything.
 
 
=== Leras ===
 
{{quote
 
|They called you their god, and you were casual with their faith! The hearts of men are NOT YOUR TOYS.
 
|Leras to Kelsier{{msh ref|6|4}}
 
}}
 
 
Kelsier at first hated Leras for claiming to be God, enough to instantly punch him.{{msh ref|1|1}} For a period, he did not fully respect or believe Leras's divinity, but over time he came to respect him more.{{msh ref|2|3}} He nicknamed him Fuzz, due to his unraveled appearance.
 
 
Leras is fascinated by Kelsier due to him being the first to punch him after death, and being the first to attempt to recruit him to their schemes. Thus he decides to go along with him out of curiosity.{{msh ref|1|1}} Despite being mostly cordial with Kelsier, he does hate him to an extent due to how he manipulated peoples faiths during his life, playing with their hearts and treating their faith casually.{{msh ref|6|4}} He also hates how much Kelsier goes against his Intent, bringing about massive societal change in how he brought about the death of the Lord Ruler, and played into Ruin's plans.{{msh ref|1|2}}
