Spook was a skaa Misting on Scadrial in the Final Empire and worked in Kelsier's crew. His original name was Jedal, after his father,[1] but went by Lestibournes before Kelsier gave him his nickname of Spook. The name Lestibournes is a reference to the Eastern street slang phrase, 'lefting I'm born', which means 'I've been abandoned'. He was a Tineye, and was Clubs' nephew.[2] He was fifteen during the Collapse[3]

The Skaa rebellion

During the skaa rebellion Spook was mainly involved as a sentry or lookout for the crew's hideout. He participated in the crew's planning sessions, but rarely contributed to them. He became infatuated with Vin and tried to court her, but she did not reciprocate his feelings and instead became romantically involved with Elend.

Siege of Luthadel

The rest of Kelsier's crew asked Spook to help them lead Elend and Vin away from Luthadel so that they would not be killed in the siege. He led them away to the Terris mountains under the pretense of showing Vin to the Well of Ascension. Vin and Elend eventually realised that they had been tricked, and Vin was able to return and save Luthadel.

Urteau

During his stay at Urteau, he became an Allomantic savant, flaring tin all the time, to spy on Quellion and Beldre.[4] He was corrupted by Ruin with a Hemalurgic spike[5],which caused him to have visions of Kelsier and granted him the ability to burn pewter. He eventually realized this and pulled the spike out of himself.[6] He was later called the Survivor of the Flames.[7]

The Final Ascension

After the Final Ascension he led the survivors into the new world created by Sazed and was given the full powers of a Mistborn.[8] However, he did not have the strength of a lerasium Mistborn, but a Mistborn of the strength of a typical Allomancer around the end of The Final Empire. Sazed also healed the damage Spook had done to himself by becoming a tin Savant. Spook was referred to as the Lord Mistborn. It is not clear what his role in that early government was, but he was clearly very prominent and powerful, judging by the fact that his Eastern street slang became known as High Imperial. However, Spook is confirmed to have been a "stud" after the Final Ascension,[9] having over a dozen children.[10]
