Template:SkaaInfobox Kelsier is a character from the Mistborn trilogy.

He was stern and intense but always smiling; another act of rebellion against the Lord Ruler's oppression. He hated injustice and took this hatred to the extreme, which resulted in him being unable to see good in any of the nobility.

Born to a noble father and skaa mother, Kelsier always made his living as a thief, becoming famous throughout Luthadel. However, after a failed attempt at stealing from Kredik Shaw, he was sent to the atium mines in the Pits of Hathsin. There, after the death of his wife, he "snapped", becoming a Mistborn. Using Allomancy he was able to escape the Pits and return to Luthadel. He joined with the skaa rebellion and, after gathering a team of the best thieves in the city, including skilled mistings, he set in motion a plan to destroy the Final Empire and kill the Lord Ruler. During this time he took on Vin as a student after confirming his suspicions about her being a Mistborn.

He died with a spear through the chest after fighting the Lord Ruler, shortly following him killing a Steel Inquisitor. His death resulted in the founding of the Church of the Survivor, who called him "Lord of the Mists". As a result of this Vin also became a major religious figure.

He apparently appeared to Spook, giving him the ability to burn pewter, but this was later revealed to be Ruin, who was using Kelsier as a guise.

His wife Mare collected pre-Ascension memorabilia. One piece, a flower, he kept to inspire his team.

He was the younger brother of Marsh, who was disappointed at Kelsier's apparent lack of direction or purpose until Kelsier began the revolution.

He 'looked after' Preservation between Leras's death and Vin's ascension.

From the Well of Ascension, of course.

It's the same power, after all. Solid in the metal you fed to Elend. Liquid in the pool you burned. And vapor in the air, confined to night. Hiding you. Protecting you.

Giving you power!

—He speaks to Vin before she ascends?[1]
