'''Spook''', or '''Lestibournes''', is a [[skaa]] [[tin]] [[Misting]] (aka a [[Tineye]]) on [[Scadrial]]. He was a member of [[Kelsier's crew]] and worked for [[Elend Venture]] after the [[Collapse]]. After the [[Catacendre]], he became known as the Lord Mistborn and ruled the [[Elendel Basin]] for a hundred years before stepping down.{{book ref|mb6|5}}

His confidence was not constant, and he had a feeling of inferiority, of being invisible, dismissible and ignored.{{book ref|mb1|49}} Clubs' death added to his a sense of guilt for leaving the crew and trying to escape Luthadel while taking Vin and Elend. The greatest consequence for him was his insistence on flaring Tin for several months, turning him into a Tin Savant. This enhanced his senses to an unmanageable degree, forcing him to wear a blindfold at all times. He had a huge desire to feel useful and being recognized for it.{{book ref|mb2|14}}

Named '''Jedal''' after [[Jedal|his father]],{{wob ref|6098}} Spook was born and raised in the Eastern Lands, a wasteland known for its sand and grit.{{book ref|mb3|23}} Spook lived with his mother and father in a dirty shack with several other skaa and often ducked out to run around with skaa children in some of the street gangs, where he learned [[High Imperial|Eastern street slang]]. Jedal blamed Spook's lack of discipline on [[Margel|his mother]] allowing him to spend so much time with the street gangs.{{book ref|mb3|23}}

Inheriting [[noble]] blood from his grandfather, Spook [[Snapping|Snapped]] at the age of five, becoming a [[Tineye]].{{book ref|mb1|32}}{{book ref|mb3|53}} After learning of his [[Allomancy]], [[Jedal]] and his family were prepared to have him killed in order to hide the family's noble blood from the [[Steel Ministry]]. [[Margel]], however, had known about Spook's Allomancy for some time, and sent word to her brother [[Cladent]], who knew having another Tineye would be useful. Cladent arrived before Jedal could kill Spook and traded coins for Spook's freedom, promising to take the young boy back to [[Luthadel]]. When Cladent asked for his name, Spook decided he did not want to be called by the same name as his father. He told Cladent his name was now '''Lestibournes''', an Eastern street slang contraction of "lefting I'm born," which means "I've been abandoned."{{book ref|mb3|23}} Kelsier later gave him the nickname "Spook".{{book ref|mb3|23}}

After the crew thought [[Marsh]] had been captured by the Ministry, they sent Spook with the [[House Renoux]] canal procession that left Luthadel, as he was their best Tineye.{{book ref|mb1|33}} The [[Steel Inquisitor]]s, however, had just tracked [[Vin]] to her Valette Renoux alias, and attacked the caravan to try to find her. When they didn't find her in the convoy, they brought Spook, [[OreSeur]], and the Renoux servants back to Luthadel, ostensibly to be executed, but actually as a trap for [[Kelsier]].{{wob ref|2437}} Kelsier fell right into the trap and attacked the prison cart guards as they passed by. With help from [[Hammond]], some skaa rebels, and the rest of the crew, he managed to rescue Spook and the rest of the prisoners, before being killed by the [[Lord Ruler]].{{book ref|mb1|33}}{{book ref|mb1|34}} After that, during the [[Collapse]], [[Dockson]] sent him to fetch some of Clubs' apprentices to run messages.{{book ref|mb1|35}}

During the speech after the execution, Spook got infuriated and when he got close to [[Beldre]] he spoke to her, first asking if she agreed with the executions, later letting her know he was the man who would kill her brother. He was so into the conversation he failed to notice he was exposed and Quellion's men went after him. He understood they were Allomancers when they used their power and he lost the fight.{{book ref|mb3|16}}

During the fight, Spook was stabbed with a sword that also pierced a [[pewterarm]]. The tip of the sword broke off with his body and became a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike which granted him the ability to burn [[pewter]]. The spike also gave Kelsier accsess to Spook's mind, letting him eventually talk to Spook.{{msh ref|6|5}} Initially, it was only Ruin using this new access to Spook's mind using [[Kelsier]]'s voice to persuade him to use his new powers. When he woke up from the lost fight inside the burning building and heard Kelsier's voice asking him to move on, he finds vials and burns pewter. He obeys finding his new ability (which he doesn’t recognize as Hemalurgy) and thus trusting the voice in his head convinced it was the real Kelsier.{{book ref|mb3|16}}{{book ref|mb3|26}}

Shortly after the Catacendre, Spook began receiving instruction on how to be a king from Breeze and combat training with Ham.{{msh ref|epilogue}} The other survivors insisted he have a nicer log house with two stories, which he thought of as a mansion and made him uncomfortable since everyone else has so little. Beldre also lived in that house with him.{{msh ref|epilogue}} Spook was also something of a "stud" after the Final Ascension{{wob ref|1093}} having over a dozen children.{{wob ref|4106}}

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, who named him Spook and gave him a spot in his crew. Although it was more of a favor to Clubs, Kelsier still cared for the boy, using the street slang in which he spoke in his conversations with him. After Kelsier’s death, much of Spook's efforts were to become someone that he would have been proud of,{{book ref|mb3|14}} to the point where Ruin used this connection to manipulate Spook by using Kelsier's voice in his mind--a decision by the Shard at which Kelsier was furious.{{book ref|mb2|14}}{{msh ref|6|5}}

Elend and Spook had a cautious relationship in the beginning as the former could sense the latter liked Vin,{{book ref|mb2|6}} but they continue to grow fond of each other as they spend more and more time together.{{book ref|mb2|27}} Elend later reinforces to Spook that he is not being dismissed and he is valued for his skills as a scout and Tineye.{{book ref|mb1|49}}

Spook and Sazed became closer during their time at Urteau. As Sazed became more depressed, Spook took over the leadership of the crew. Sazed, even though he suspected he was getting mistborn powers like burning pewter, grew to respect him more and more.{{book ref|mb3|49}} Spook sought Sazed’s support with religion during the time he thought he could hear Kelsier.{{book ref|mb3|31}} Sazed, on the other hand, was inspired by Spook to find his faith back.{{book ref|mb3|56}} After Ascending, Sazed cured Spook of his tin savantism and made him a full Mistborn.{{msh ref|6|9}}
