Ashweather Cett is a nobleman from Fadrex City during the Final Empire.[1]
Appearance and Personality
He is abrasive and takes delight in being purposefully rude, he also tends to use this to throw guests off balance, allowing him to have more control over the situation. He does this to Elend Venture when meeting with him. Cett also has a preference for extremely messy foods.
History
After the Lord Ruler's death and the Collapse, he quickly takes control of the Western Dominance but is unable to keep control of Fadrex City.[2][3] He decides to lay siege on Luthadel before Aradan Yomen, an obligator in the city and a much more popular leader, ousts him from control.[4]
In the Siege of Luthadel, Cett is outnumbered by Straff Venture's forces. Realizing this, he secretly enters Luthadel and presents himself to Elend Venture at a Luthadel Assembly meeting, proposing that his troops enter the city and the pair ally against Straff.[5] However, when Elend is attacked by Mistings, Vin believes these to be agents of Cett after recognising one Thug supposedly as a servant of Cett.[6] Vin and Zane Venture then enter Keep Hasting, killing Cett's soldiers and almost killing Cett himself--Vin suspected him to be Mistborn although he was not.[3] Cett then leaves the city with his troops.[7]
After the siege, Vin forces Cett to pledge allegiance to Elend and Cett becomes a general in the new Emperor's army.[8] He takes part in the Siege of Fadrex City.[9]
During the siege he is glad to see that Elend has finally agreed to take back his own capital from Yomen. He helps to direct and manage the army. According to Elend should something happen to him Cett would be third in line to take command of his empire, after Vin and Sazed, respectively.
During the planning of the siege, Cett puts forward some of the more brutal but effective ideas, such as sending parts of the army out to attack undefended small villages in order to force Yomen to play his hand, as well as simply assassinating him and taking control. Elend also requests that he drafts up a list of noblemen and informants inside the city who could possibly aid them with information or perhaps acting as double-agents within the city.[9] He thus gives Vin information on how to find and contact Slowswift as well as Hoid inside the city.[10]
During the battle against the koloss at Fadrex City, Cett stayed behind the fighting and commanded tactics while Elend went out to help wherever his soldiers were having trouble with the koloss brutes.[11]
As part of the Final Ascension Sazed repaired all genetic defects and physical ailments in the people who were in the storage caches. This included Cett, giving him the ability to walk once more. He was so shocked by this that he spent the entire epilogue walking around in the cavern, marveling.[12]
Relationships
He is the head of House Cett and sired both Allrianne and Gneorndin Cett.[13]
