'''Vin''' wasis a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancer|Mistborn]] from the world of [[ScadrialFinal Empire]], and the main character from the originalon [[Mistborn series|Mistborn trilogyScadrial]].

Vin was born to [[Tevidian Tekiel]]{{book ref|b|mb1|c|26}}, lord prelan of the [[Steel Ministry]], and his skaa mistress. She and her (unnamed) sister inherited Allomantic powers from their father (her sister was a [[bronze|Seeker]]{{epigraph ref|mb3|73}}).

Her mother was insane and was driven by Ruin to kill Vin's baby sister with a metal pin that became a Hemalurgic spike, which the mother then pierced the infant Vin's ear with, giving Ruin access to her mind and influence her. Because of the earring's Hemalurgy, Ruin was able to use Vin as an unwitting pawn and get himself released from the Well of Ascension. Vin's Bronze Seeking ability became twice as strong as other Mistborn or Seekers, enabling her to pierce Allomantic copperclouds and locate the hidden Well of Ascension. {{book ref|b|mb1|c|31}}
