He usually displays a grim and pessimistic demeanor, regarding those around him with disapproval.{{book ref|mb1|4}} He walks with a limp due to a past injury that he got in battle, and has a large scar from it.{{book ref|mb1|35}}

Clubs is a Smoker. Burning copper allows him to form an invisible "coppercloud" around him that blocks the bronze senses of [[Seeker]]s and [[Allomancy|Mistborn]], allowing people nearby to use Allomancy without being discovered. It also makes him immune to emotional Allomancy while burning copper.

== History ==

Before joining [[Kelsier's crew]] Clubs was a soldier in the [[Lord Ruler]]’s army with some command. During his time fighting in the southeast, he [[Snapping|Snapped]], becoming a [[Smoker]].{{wob ref|7707}}{{wob ref|7544}} After being injured and discharged, Clubs joined the underground. He was also a successful carpenter and employed several apprentices, some of whom were also Smokers.{{book ref|mb1|2}} At some point in the past he 'adopted' his nephew [[Spook]] after his parents discovered he was a [[Misting]] and abandoned him.{{book ref|mb3|23}}

Kelsier's crew used Club's shop as a secret base of operations in Luthadel. Like most Smokers, he was tasked with maintaining a [[coppercloud]] around his shop to protect those inside from prying [[Seeker]]s. After the [[Lord Ruler]] was defeated, Elend appointed Clubs as the general of his armies.{{book ref|mb2|6}}

He disliked Captain [[Demoux]] preaching the [[Church of the Survivor]] to his troops.{{book ref|mb2|48}}

Clubs came to befriend Breeze. The two often spent time in the evenings conversing and drinking at Keep Venture.

Before the [[Battle of Luthadel]], [[Sazed]] tried to teach him about the religion of [[Dadradah]], which focuses on art and craftsmanship. Sazed remarked that the care that Clubs devoted to his carpentry showed his true passion to be art, not warfare. As a token of the Dadradah faith, he also gives Clubs a small wooden disk carved with the image of a brush.{{book ref|mb2|50}}

He died during the Battle of Luthadel, killed by a [[koloss]] while saving Breeze.{{book ref|mb2|53}} Later on, Sazed found the wooden disk that he gave Clubs tied to the man's corpse.{{book ref|mb2|54}}

==Trivia==

* Clubs was originally going to be the team's [[Seeker]], with [[Marsh]] being the team's Smoker. They were swapped before Brandon starting writing The Final Empire.{{wob ref|5382}}{{wob ref|7827}}
