'''Cladent'''{{book ref|mb1|6}} is a [[skaa]] [[Misting]] from the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb1|4}} He is a member of [[Kelsier]]'s thieving crew and goes by the nickname '''Clubs'''.

== Appearance and Personality ==

Clubs is generally a surly individual who often displays a grim and pessimistic demeanor. He has a gnarled face that's often compared to a piece of knotted wood. Upon first meeting others, he can come across hostile and untrusting. Although he appears to be older than [[Breeze]], he is still physically fit. In spite of this, he walks with a limping gait. The source of which is a long twisting scar that runs up his calf and thigh, which he received during a skirmish while in the employ of [[The Lord Ruler]]{{book ref|mb1|ch5}}{{book ref|mb1|35}} He generally regards those around him with disapproval, but viewed as loyal and trustworthy by [[Kelsier]]. He fiercely distrusts [[Soother]]s and [[Rioter]]s due to their ability to manipulate peoples emotions. Even though he is immune to their [[allomancy]], he stills see's both mistings as manipulative. However, he later comes to enjoy being around [[Breeze]], to the point of drinking with him every night.{{book ref|mb2|36}}

To those that know him very well, Clubs is a man of rare understanding and humor.{{book ref|mb2|52}} When he smiles, it has a decidedly twisted look on his face. {{book ref|mb1|5}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==

{{image|Clubs portrait.png|side=left|width=230px}}

=== Allomancy ===

Being a [[Misting]], Clubs is only capable of burning one of the Allomantic metals. He [[snapping|Snapped]] during his time in the [[The Lord Ruler]]'s army. In his last fight, he wounded and then discharged.{{wob ref|7544}} After snapping, Clubs discovered he was capable of burning [[copper]]. As a [[Smoker]], Clubs is able to create a [[coppercloud]] around him that blocks the [[bronze]] sense of [[Seeker]]s and [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]. This ability extends beyond himself, and allows others to use allomancy near him, without being discovered. Burning copper will also make him immune to any emotional allomancy.{{book ref|mb1|part=ars}}

== History & Relationships ==

Prior to joining [[Kelsier's crew]] Clubs worked as a master carpenter and was a Skaa merchant in Luthadel. His woodworking shop, which also operated base of operations and hideout for Kelsier's crew was known as a prominent Skaa Craftsman's shop.{{book ref|mb1|6}} Before this, Cladent worked as 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. Once he opened up his shop, he employed several apprentice carpenters, 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}}

Once Kelsier's crew used Club's shop as a secret base of operations in Luthadel, 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}}

Clubs was not known to be a religious man, and so he disliked Captain [[Demoux]] preaching the [[Church of the Survivor]] to his troops.{{book ref|mb2|48}}

Although 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}}
