⚫ | When Kelsier visited the skaa army in the [[Arguois caverns]] he held a speech. During that speech he kept [[zinc|Rioting]] Bilg's emotions, provoking him to speak up against Kelsier and his plans. When this finally happened he challenged Bilg to a duel with captain Demoux, who wasn't a match for Bilg, and told him that he was allowed to leave if he'd win the duel. However, the duel lasted longer than expected, because Kelsier assisted Demoux with [[Iron]]pulling and [[Steel]]pushing. Eventually Kelsier would have killed Bilg through Demoux's hands, but the captain resisted delivering the final blow. Some servants rushed forward to help the wounded Bilg from the room.{{book ref|mb1|21}} |

⚫ | During the [[Siege of Fadrex City]] Bilg again was a troublemaker, this time in Elend's army. He claimed that the [[mistfallen]] were cursed, them being the cause of their misery. This resulted in a brawl, and general Demoux had to interfere. However, Bilg, who already had a grudge for Demoux{{wob ref|7784}}, punched his general in the face right when [[Elend]] joined the scene. According to the law, Elend had to let Bilg get executed, even though Demoux pleaded to only throw the man in solitary.{{book ref|mb3|47}} |
