'''Tevidian Tekiel''' was the Lord Prelan of the [[Steel Ministry]] on [[Scadrial]] shortly during the [[Final Empire]],{{book ref|mb1|26}} and [[Vin]]'s father. He was a Tekiel, a noble of a very pure line, but had to renounce his surname to join the Steel Ministry.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=32}}.
Tevidian bedded many skaa women.{{book ref|mb1|36}} Ultimately, he illegitimately sired [[Vin]] and her younger sister, providing them both Allomancy, Vin being [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]] and her younger sister being a [[bronze|Seeker]]. He claimed he killed every skaa he slept with, but Vin's mother deceived Tevidian into thinking she was noble, and so he was lax with her. Tevidian eventually found her and killed her, but did not manage to kill Vin or her sister.{{book ref|mb1|36}} Tevidian did not recognize Vin, and Vin suspected Tevidian never knew he was a father.

Skaa torches light up the night, and they dare go out into the mists. They blaspheme in riots, attacking the keeps of the nobility!"<br>"Let them," the [[Lord Ruler]] said in an uncaring voice.
