Named '''Jedal''' after [[Jedal|his father]], Spook was born and raised in the Eastern Lands, wastelands of grit and sand.{{book ref|mb3|23}} His mother, [[Margel]], allowed him to run around with some of the street gangs, from whom he learned [[High Imperial|Eastern street slang]]. |
||
At age five, Spook [[Snapping|Snapped]] into a [[Tineye]];{{book ref|mb1|32}} he got his [[noble]] blood from his grandfather, who he never knew.{{book ref|mb3|53}} After his family found out about his [[Allomancy]], [[Jedal|his father]] tried to kill him so that the [[Steel Ministry]] wouldn't kill the family for having noble blood. Margel, however, had known about Spook's Allomancy for some time, and had sent word to her brother [[Cladent]], who knew having another Tineye would be useful. He arrived before Jedal could kill Spook and took traded coins in return for Spook, promising to take the young boy back to [[Luthadel]]. When Cladent asked for his name, Spook decided he no longer wanted to go by the same name as his father, and told him it was '''Lestibournes''', an Eastern street slang contraction of "lefting I'm born," which means "I've been abandoned."{{book ref|mb3|23}} |

Kelsier would later re-name him "Spook", {{book ref|mb3|23}} something that would mean a connection later on.{{msh ref|6|5}} |

Spook agreed, and lead them away to the Terris mountains, where [[Sazed]] said they would find the [[Well of Ascension]]. Vin and Elend eventually realize that they have been tricked, and Vin raced ahead to Luthadel in time to save the city.{{book ref|mb2|51}} Spook returned with Elend a few days later, and used his tin to enhance his eyes and inform Elend that his flag still flew from the city gates, indicating that it has not been conquered.{{book ref|mb2|57}} |

He was a very good at sneaking into the Citizen’s house, where he went not only to listen to important information of the city, confirming the [[Quellion]]’s (the Citizen) ideology and concerns on Elend as a tyrant; but to watch his sister [[Beldre]].

So when he wakes up from the lost fight inside the burning building and hears Kelsier asking him to move on, find vials and burn pewter, he obeys, thus finding his new ability (which he doesn’t recognize as Hemalurgy) and thus trusting the voice in his head.{{book ref|mb3|16}}{{book ref|mb3|26}} |

⚫ | Ever since his unexpected survival from the flames, Spook had heard people gossiping of him and that he was part of Kelsier’s crew and that Durn was behind it. He eventually decided to confront him and found that Durn had been plotting against Quellion and had used the event to make him look bad. He decides to trust him and asks him to find Breeze. On his way out, a man approaches him and asked to save his seven-year-old sister from the Citizen. Spook realizes he is now in a better position to make a difference and decides to help.{{book ref|mb3|35}} He asked in return for ten men to help him dig the skulls from the fire where the Citizen had burned the prisoners days before. He found only nine skulls and understood Quellion was taking the Allomancers.{{book ref|mb3|38}} |

He bribed people to find the place where the executions will take place. Another noble building and he understood it was built with passages like others used to take the Allomancers out. He went in to save the people and under Ruin’s influence killed the soldiers. One of them though took the child as a hostage, causing Spook to ask the leaving prisoners to lock him down. Though he was able to beat the remaining soldier, even with Pewter he was unable to open the door. Thus, he had to jump out of the building, still in flames with the child in his arms. Breeze and his other friends were there and caused a riot to help him escape.{{book ref|mb3|41}} |

Because he liked Beldre, he went to see her again, asked her to join him, but she refused and started screaming. Later, she went to their place and spoke on her brother’s behalf. Under Ruin’s influence with Kelsier’s voice, Spook takes her captive spreading the rumor she had escaped her brother. He is looking for Quellion to attack.{{book ref|mb3|49}} They both have another conversation later, where she confirms her brother used to be a good man corrupted by power and Spook is bothered by the conversation, still with the encouragement of Ruin, he accepts the title of Survivor of the Flames and is happy with the attention.{{book ref|mb3|53}} |

⚫ | The city is ready for a revolt, Quellion is about to do a hate speech against Spook. The latter killed the Citizen’s guards and fought him, looking for him to shoot coins and prove himself an Allomancer to complete the city’s hatred. Beldre gets there and shoots Spook to save her brother. The City riots as they understand what she is and that their ruler had killed their noble blood family but not his sister. Spook feels betrayed and Kelsier’s voice pushes him to kill her and use her spike to get her power. The hate speech from Kelsier and the spike information helps him understand it was the spike at the first fire that had caused all this. Looking at Quellion he correctly guessed he was being affected too. He takes out Quellion's spike first and then his. He loses Pewter and is almost out of breath. He sees the city in flames but is looking forward to the water to flood the city. Beldre confirms she had killed the soldiers to escape and there is no one to flood the city. They go back along with Sazed and find the building in flames, they are about to return defeated when he heard Kelsier’s real voice, who said he had chosen him as his friend. Spook goes into the burning building and he has no more strength, he just throws his weight to the machine and collapses.{{book ref|mb3|58}} |

He gives encouragement and praise, but mostly explains Vin has a spike and is hearing Ruin.{{msh ref|6|6}}. He sends a message saying “Don’t trust anyone pierced by metal. Spook’s letter. Even the smallest bit can taint a man.” [[Goradel ]] offers to take it; it was written on a metal sheet.{{book ref|mb3|58}}{{book ref|mb3|64}} It was intercepted by Marsh who was being physically controlled by Ruin, but could still think on his own, upon reading it he figures out it is Vin’s earring the metal piece where Ruin is controlling her and uses his last will to take it out setting her free.{{book ref|mb3|72}} |

In dreams Kelsier found a way to connect with him and asked for a hermalugic spike. Spook managed to get it and against his better judgement placed it on his ear. After that he was able to see Kelsier. “Broken mind, Hemalurgic spike. You can see just enough into the Cognitive Realm” Kelsier explained. {{msh ref|epilogue}} He went on explaining how ignorance almost cost the world and that they could find answers together.

Spook was referred to as the '''Lord Mistborn'''. It is not clear what his role in that early government is, but he is clearly very prominent and powerful, judging by the fact that his Eastern street slang becomes known as [[High Imperial]]. He is also known to have engaged in philosophy and appears to be somewhat aware of the inner workings of the Shards, and is noted for begging the question, "Having the has Sazed a metal?"{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy '' Broadsheet}} He wrote a book on Hemalurgy which was not of the like of Harmony {{book ref|sos|6}} However, Spook is confirmed to having been a "stud" after the Final Ascension,{{wob ref|1093}} having over a dozen children.{{wob ref|4106}} |

Kelsier found a way to contact Spook in a dream and told him to forge an old Inquisitor spike into an earring. Spook managed to find a smith willing to do so and, against his better judgment, placed it on his ear. After that, he was able to see Kelsier because, between his broken mind and the Hemalurgic spike, he was able to see far enough into the [[Cognitive Realm]]. Kelsier then convinced him that their ignorance of the [[cosmere]] has almost resulted in the destruction of Scadrial and that they needed to work together to learn about the principles of the cosmere. Kelsier also implied that they could try to find a way to give Spook [[Feruchemy]], and thus the same powers the Lord Ruler had through [[Compounding]], and that he wanted to find a way to return to the [[Physical Realm]].{{msh ref|epilogue}} Likely as a result of these investigations, Spook wrote a book on [[Hemalurgy]]{{book ref|sos|6}} and was later known for having asked whether [[Harmony]] had a God Metal.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy'' Broadsheet}} |

According to [[Steris]], Spook ruled as an emperor for a century before stepping down from power, after which [[Elendel]] was no longer supposed to exercise direct authority over the rest of the [[Elendel Basin]].{{book ref|bom|5}} As a ruler, he built buildings for the poor trying to avoid the development of slums{{book ref|bom|3}} and enacted laws to give power to the common people like Elend wanted.{{book ref|bom|9}} He also exerted a personal influence on society; his Eastern street slang became known as [[High Imperial]] and was used for official documents.{{book ref|mb4|14}} It appears he did not enjoy all of the duties associated with kingship, as he had Breeze write most of his speeches for him.{{book ref|mb6|6}} In the book he wrote about Hemalurgy, he advised that creating Hemalurgic constructs is more trouble than it's worth, and argued that the old and sickly Metalborn should be used to create spikes to pass down the Metallic Arts.{{book ref|mb6|6}} By {{date|341|PC}}, his abilities as a Mistborn had transformed him into a near-mythological figure and he was known as the "Lord Mistborn."{{book ref|aol|7}} It is uncertain whether he ended up dying after his reign, as he almost certainly used [[atium]] [[Compounding]] to extend his life past that of a normal human, being at least 115 years old when he stepped down. |

Spook had a particular relationship with Kelsier. The latter named him Spook and gave him a spot in his Crew. It was more than a favor to Clubs which is shown by Kelsier’s interest on talking with him on his native language and giving him moral support. After Kelsier’s death, much of Spook's efforts are to become someone that he would have been proud of{{book ref|mb3|14}} to the point where Ruin uses this connection to impersonate Kelsier's voice in Spook’s mind.{{book ref|mb2|14}} |

After his death, Kelsier continues to follow Spook. In Uretau, when he almost lost himself to anger and Ruin, Keliser sends him "Hope" messages which might have helped him get understanding and taking out his spike.
