Yeden thinks members of the skaa underground are selfish and undisciplined, but he admits they're effective, and is willing to make use of their skills. He doesn't trust [[Kelsier's crew]], and when Kelsier lets Clubs go Yeden is worried he will bring [[obligator]]s upon them.{{book ref|mb1|4}} Yeden is skeptical of Kelsier's plan; he thinks the skaa will never rise up on the government, since the rebellion has been trying to do this for a thousand years without success.{{book ref|mb1|6}} |

:Yeden wasn't entirely sure that the Rebellion's plan to overthrow the empire would work, and often lost sight of what he was attempting would mean in relation to nobles and skaa.{{book ref|mb1|6}} There were multiple times that Yeden tested backing out, but was reassured by Kelsier that the plan would work, and that he would lose his investment if he gave up. Yeden was also familiar with Marsh from when Marsh worked with the Skaa Rebellion.{{book ref|mb1|2}} |

=== Early life === |
|||
Little is known of Yeden's origins. He suceeded [[Marsh]] in the control of the skaa rebellion.{{book ref|mb1|7}} The skaa rebellion spent years gathering the thirty thousand boxings he used to pay [[Kelsier's crew]], and before hiring Kelsier he had never seen a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]], and didn't believe that skaa could be Allomancers or that Mistborn existed.{{book ref|mb1|4}} He had never visited the [[Arguois caverns]].{{book ref|mb1|21}} |

=== Contracting Kelsier's Crew === |
|||
⚫ | :Yeden begins to get excited, and is impressed with Kelsier's work for the rebellion. He temporarily becomes a commander and takes control over the rebellion's army of skaa from [[Ham]].{{book ref|mb1|21}} After Kelsier's display with [[Demoux]], Yeden ends up deciding that Kelsier can somehow grant his powers to others, and that the army cannot possibly lose.{{book ref|mb1|21}} |

:[[Breeze]] was going to be sent to replace Yeden for a few months, but Yeden had already taken control of the army to gain some experience.{{book ref|mb1|24}} {{book ref|mb1|25}} Yeden instructed the Skaa rebellion to attack the nearby [[Holstep]] Garrison in the [[Dominance#Central_Dominance|Central Dominance]], which the Skaa rebellion defeated in a night raid. On the Rebellion's way back to the Caverns, about an hour away from Holstep, they were attacked by the [[Valtroux]] Garrison of 5000 soldiers. Yeden and 5000 members of the Rebellion's skaa army died there. Yeden's head was seen on spear beside the road.{{book ref|mb1|25}} {{quote|Yeden... well, he was the type who was too easily impressed--both by you and the reputation you left for him.| [[Mennis]] {{book ref|mb1|25}}}} |

In the beginning, Yeden thought [[Kelsier]] was a detestable thief, selfish and dishonest.{{book ref|mb1|4}} He later is impressed by Kelsier, becoming more civil with him and believing that the rebellion could really succeed in overthrowing the Lord Ruler.{{book ref|mb1|17}} After Kelsier's display with Demoux, Yeden was very impressed, and he was convinced that Kelsier was invincible and could pass his power to others.{{book ref|mb1|21}} |
