Or, at least, as honorable as noblemen get—which means that he insists on being '''seen''' as honorable. \|[[Breeze]] to [[Vin]]{{book ref\|mb2\|31}} }} Penrod has white hair and wears a well-cut suit. He has polished mannerisms and a strong posture. He has stomach ills, though it is unknown whether this is frequent.{{book ref\|mb2\|31}} Penrod is a traditionalist and politically conservative, yet he never spoke negatively against the skaa.{{book ref\|mb2\|10}} However, Elend considers him a product of his society—although he doesn't consider the skaa animals, he could never see them as equals.{{book ref\|mb2\|31}} Penrod is an honorable man, and after Elend nominates him for chancellor he feels obligated to nominate Elend as a candidate for king.{{book ref\|mb2\|31}} He thinks that though the [[Final Empire]]'s system wasn't perfect, it kept people safer than Elend's system.{{book ref\|mb2\|32}} He sees himself as the city's patriarch, the nobleman who needed to bring a measure of conservative temperance to the city's problems.{{book ref\|mb2\|34}} == History == In the time before the [[Collapse]] Penrod was a lesser noble in a [[House Penrod\|minor house]] and was said to grovel before the like of [[Straff Venture]] at the parties every week, wishing to curry favor.{{book ref\|mb2\|39~~}} He was described as a traditionalist and politically conservative, yet never spoke negatively against the skaa.{{book ref\|mb2\|10~~}} === Assemblyman in Luthadel === [[Ruin]] later took control of Penrod, through a Hemalurgic spike harvested from a copper [[Misting]]. Marsh attacked Penrod and drove the spike through his heart. Since Penrod continued to live, the surgeons assumed it had just barely missed his heart and feared removing it would kill him as it began to bleed whenever they tried to go near it with implements, so they leave it in place, giving Ruin a foothold into Penrod's mind.{{book ref\|mb3\|42}} Ruin, manifesting as the [[Lord Ruler]], drove Penrod to madness, making him drive Luthadel into chaos, including forcing the [[skaa]] to fight to death for food ~~wiile~~while claiming that only the strong may survive. At [[TenSoon]]'s suggestion, the inhabitants of Luthadel fled the city, taking refuge in the [[Pits of Hathsin]].{{book ref\|mb3\|52}} Later, discovering that Ruin had been influencing him, Penrod wrote a note with charcoal saying that he has prefered to end his own life rather than keep causing destruction to those around him, and revealing the location of the people of Luthadel. Then, the king killed himself with a sword. Ruin tried to mislead Elend by changing Penrod's message to say the people were in the [[Terris Dominance]], but with [[Vin]]'s help Elend managed to see through the ruse.{{book ref\|mb3\|77}} == Quotes == {{quote \| I'm sorry. Something has taken control of me...of this city. I am lucid only part of the time. Better to kill myself than to cause more destruction.
