At the beginning, [[Vin]] loved Elend{{book ref|mb2|2}}, but she believed he deserved someone better, someone who shared his interests{{book ref|mb2|20}} and ideals{{book ref|mb2|47}}, someone who saw nobility in his decision of giving up the throne.{{book ref|mb2|47}} She also thought she hurt his pride by being Mistborn while he was just a common man, that he deserved a woman he could protect.{{book ref|mb2|20}} She thought she didn't deserve because she thought she didn't deserve to be happy at all.{{book ref|mb2|28}}
However, Elend loved her; he felt he needed her genuine realism to keep him grounded,{{book ref|mb2|44}} and thought himself lucky that she needed him;{{book ref|mb2|3}} he believed she was ten times as capable as him.{{book ref|mb2|44}} He was sometimes frustrated by her idiosyncrasies, but he still loved her.{{book ref|mb2|3}} Most of all, he trusted her; he defended her actions even when she attacked [[Cett]], killing hundreds of men, and he trusted her to make the right decisions even when he didn't know what she was deciding.{{book ref|mb2|44}}
|Elend talking to the crew about [[Kelsier]]{{book ref|mb3|12}}
}}
In the battle before [[Kelsier]]'s death, despite his hate of noblemen, he saved Elend's life because he knew Vin loved the nobleman.{{book ref|mb1|34}} But when he found out that Elend was king, he was angry for days.{{msh ref|2|2}} However, when Elend came to him in the Well, he wasn't angry, because he considered not Elend's fault that he became king, considering him "too oblivious to be dangerous".{{msh ref|2|3}}
While king, Elend compared himself to Kelsier on numerous occasions.{{book ref|mb3|12}} He thought that if Kelsier were alive, he would be king instead of Elend, and that he would have been a better king than Elend.{{book ref|mb2|5}} However, he later accepted that there was no one mold for a leader, and that he didn't need to be Kelsier to be a good king.{{book ref|mb2|37}}
|[[Tindwyl]] to Elend.{{book ref|mb2|14}}
}}
[[Tindwyl]] came to [[Luthadel]] to instruct Elend on how to be a king.{{book ref|mb2|14}} She thinks that he is slovenly{{book ref|mb2|14}} and needs to be more forceful — that as a king, he should impose his will on others and impose respect on his subjects.{{book ref|mb2|20}} She believes he should be more self-confident — feel that his actions are the best for the kingdom.{{book ref|mb2|20}} She is mean and harsh to him, because she believes that after growing up as a pampered son of a lord, he needs some harsh truth.{{book ref|mb2|25}}
Tindwyl says that love is not easy for kings, and that Elend's love of Vin may cause him trouble. However, once she was sure he did love Vin, the Keeper says he should not give up on her; she considers it an exception. However, she encourages the couple to get married, as it would be bad for Elend's reputation to be seen as having a mistress.{{book ref|mb2|20}}
|Elend to [[Straff]].{{book ref|mb1|28}}
}}
In his youth, Elend rebelled against his [[Straff|father]], and acted to distinguish himself from the man. However, he only did it in small ways, that didn't matter much, such as wearing his clothes dishevelled and reading during balls.{{book ref|mb2|26}} He ended up earning a reputation for being eccentric and arrogant.{{book ref|mb1|13}}{{book ref|mb1|18}} However, his books changed him; he stopped acting against his father's wishes to annoy him, and started doing it because they were unethical. His father didn't notice the change, and kept treating Elend like a rebellious child.{{book ref|mb1|28}} Straff thinks Elend is childish and weak, and believes Vin didn't kill the Lord Ruler because he thinks it implausible that Elend has earned the trust of someone so powerful.{{book ref|mb2|18}} Straff thinks he can control Elend, and that he can make Elend give him control of the city.{{book ref|mb2|20}} Elend knows Straff well, and is confident he can manipulate his father.{{book ref|mb2|20}}▼

|[[Dockson]] to Vin.{{book ref|mb2|33}}
}}
[[Dockson]] and Elend dislike each other; however, they're willing to work with one another for the good of the kingdom.{{book ref|mb2|5}} Dockson acknowledges that Elend is a decent man and treats the skaa fairly, but he has resented noblemen for a long time, and he thinks Kelsier would be mad at him for letting a nobleman take the throne.{{book ref|mb2|33}} Dockson also resents Elend because Dockson assumed he would be the leader of the crew once Kelsier was dead, but Elend became king instead.{{book ref|mb2|46}} Elend knows Dockson is a good man, but he finds it hard to get along with Dockson because of his dislike of the king.{{book ref|mb2|5}}
