Editing Gemmel

|first appeared=[[The Eleventh Metal]]

'''Gemmel''' is the [[Mistborn]] who trained [[Kelsier]] in [[Allomancy]].{{book ref|11m}}

Gemmel is scrawny, and has a ragged gray beard and unkempt hair. Like most [[Mistborn]], he wears a [[mistcloak]] on nightly escapades.{{book ref|11m}}

The aging man isn't completely sane, mutters to himself, and sometimes seems more beast than man. Gemmel thinks that [[Kelsier]]'s forced smiles look creepy, and often stops talking in the middle of an argument. According to Kelsier, Gemmel doesn't understand humor, nor likes it when his pupil tries to take control.{{book ref|11m}}

Gemmel is a decently skilled [[Mistborn]], who prefers to use [[steel]] Pushes and other physical [[Allomantic]] attacks. He dislikes using other metals as much, such as [[zinc]] and [[brass]].{{book ref|11m}}

Only three months after [[Kelsier]] escaped from the [[Pits of Hathsin]], he and Gemmel visit [[Mantiz]] to infiltrate [[Keep Shezler]]. Along their way to the keep, they talk a little about Kelsier’s past, and all the while Gemmel keeps training his student, which includes attacking him.{{book ref|11m}}

In the basement, Kelsier starts sneaking through the room, but Gemmel comes in without any attempt at stealth. In the next room, they find half a dozen bound up [[skaa]] and Kelsier begins tending to them, but is interrupted when [[Antillius Shezler]], the keep’s [[Noble|nobleman]] and also a [[Mistborn]], shouts and shoots a coin at him. Kelsier manages to kill Shezler without any help from Gemmel, who sees this as a training opportunity. When Kelsier returns to the [[skaa]] captives, Gemmel is leafing through one of Shezler’s notebooks containing theories and superstitions about an [[Malatium|Eleventh Metal]]. Kelsier takes this book before leaving, and Gemmel pockets a fork.{{book ref|11m}}

Gemmel is "touched by" [[Ruin]]{{wob ref|3663}} and likely [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgically]] spiked. The two main reasons to assume that he's spiked are that Gemmel hears a voice no one else hears that seems to tell him to kill everyone he meets (Ruin's voice), and that the [[mist]]s aren't attracted to him like they are drawn to most Allomancers.{{book ref|11m}}{{wob ref|712}}

* Gemmel met [[Zane Venture]] once, but that meeting wasn't necessarily relevant.{{wob ref|3613}}
