'''Alendi''' is a [[Bronze]] [[Misting]] (aka a [[Bronze#Allomantic_Use|Seeker]]),{{wob ref|8087}} the last ruler of [[Khlennium]] on [[Scadrial]], and author of [[Alendi's journal]].

== Appearance and Personality ==

Little of Alendi's appearance is known, however [[Kwaan's inscription]] does mention a few of his features. [[Kwaan]] says that he towers over most others and has a bearing that demands respect.{{epigraph ref|mb2|10}} He also has a birthmark on his arm and his hair turned grey when he was barely twenty five, minor details which served to further convince Kwaan that he was the Hero of Ages.{{epigraph ref|mb2|29}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==

Alendi is a Seeker, snapping in [[Preservation]]'s Mist.{{wob ref|8087}} This allows him to detect the use of [[Allomancy]] and hear the [[Well of Ascension]]. However, due to the fact that Allomancy is close to unknown before the [[Rashek|Lord Ruler]]’s Ascension, Alendi probably only uses his abilities unconsciously.

Alendi had Hemalurgic piercings, and was therefore influenced by Ruin. {{wob ref|5767}}

He is a skilled general with the title "the Conqueror", able to defeat and conquer several countries.{{cite}}

{{image|False Hero by Hinumay.png|side=left|width=300px|Betrayed by Rashek at the Well of Ascension}}Alendi grew up as the son of a blacksmith.{{epigraph ref|mb1|16}} Certain circumstances forced him to leave his home village{{epigraph ref|mb1|18}} and led him to Khlennium.{{epigraph ref|mb1|19}} It is likely that these circumstances started exactly sixteen years before the Well of Ascension was refilled{{wob ref|5510}} and included the first signs of the Deepness.

During his first months in Khlennium, Alendi met the Worldbringer Kwaan and became his assistant for an unknown time.{{epigraph ref|mb2|11}} A couple of years later, Kwaan slowly became convinced that Alendi fit the Terris prophecies and must be the Hero of Ages.{{epigraph ref|mb2|12}} Initially the other Worldbringers met Kwaan with scorn when he announced this{{epigraph ref|mb2|13}} but after a while even the other Worldbringers became convinced that Alendi must be the Hero of Ages,{{epigraph ref|mb2|30}} as Alendi fueled these rumors to persuade the world of his cause,{{epigraph ref|mb2|16}} and Ruin slightly altered the prophecies to fit Alendi.{{epigraph ref|mb2|46}}

At some point in time Alendi became king of Khlennium,{{epigraph ref|mb1|16}} possibly by marrying the previous king's daughter.{{epigraph ref|mb2|21}} Under the growing threat of the Deepness, Alendi united several nations (including Terris),{{epigraph ref|mb2|23}} some by diplomacy,{{epigraph ref|mb1|10}} and others by conquering them.{{epigraph ref|mb1|1}} Except for a few dissenters, Alendi was able to create a general unity on Scadrial under reign of Khlennium.{{epigraph ref|mb1|10}}

During his encounters with the Deepness, he Snapped and his Allomantic powers were awakened.{{wob ref|8087}} He believed that he had sensed the Deepness' mind, and noted that it was not hateful, but would destroy the world as part of its nature. After Alendi spent a decade leading armies, the Terris Worldbringers decided that Alendi, the assumed Hero of Ages, should set forth to the Well of Ascension{{epigraph ref|mb2|9}} and give up its power in the name of the greater good.{{epigraph ref|mb2|50}} However, Kwaan realised that some being deceived them all by altering the prophecies, but he couldn't convince Alendi and the other Worldbringers{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} that the power at the Well should not be released.{{epigraph ref|mb2|59}} Soon Alendi departed towards the Well of Ascension, giving no heed to Kwaan's warning since Alendi surrounded himself with other counselors who told him what he wanted to hear.{{epigraph ref|mb2|52}}

Upon arriving in Terris, Alendi replaced his normal attendants with Terris packmen who could carry his gear in the cold unforgiving mountains.{{epigraph ref|mb1|4}} They were a group of [[Feruchemy|Feruchemists]] led by [[Rashek]].{{epigraph ref|mb1|7}} Alendi started keeping a [[Alendi's logbook|logbook]],{{book ref|mb2|42}} in which he recorded his quest for the Well, describing hearing pulses coming from the Well{{epigraph ref|mb1|23}} due to his abilities as a [[Seeker]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|62}} In this journal he also expressed regrets about the death and fear he has caused {{epigraph ref|mb1|25}}{{epigraph ref|mb1|34}}, doubts about his own sanity{{epigraph ref|mb1|14}}, but also his fear of the Deepness {{epigraph ref|mb1|22}}, and his faith that it needed to be defeated {{epigraph ref|mb1|28}}.

Unbeknownst to Alendi, Kwaan had instructed Rashek to do everything in his power to keep Alendi away from the Well of Ascension,{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} and if necessary even to kill Alendi to prevent him from giving up the Well's power.{{epigraph ref|mb2|55}} Since the pulses coming from the Well drew Alendi closer with each beat,{{epigraph ref|mb1|23}} Rashek could not lead him astray and was forced to kill the King of Khlennium shortly before arriving at their destination.

== Legacy ==

Alendi's logbook was kept by Rashek and, over a thousand years later, was found by [[Vin]] in [[Kredik Shaw]]{{book ref|mb1|14}}. It was translated by [[Sazed]] as part of the efforts of [[Kelsier's crew]] to discover the Lord Ruler's weaknesses.
