Their first encounter was pure happenstance on the part of [[Vin]], but as ElandElend had grown up in the Luathdel Noble Society, he saw everything as being plots within plots, so a hitherto unknown scion of the Renoux house just so happening to come to his alcove left him baffled. He became interested in her early on when he saw that Vin was entirely forthright in her opinions and actions though still oblivious that she loved him, he did develop love for her when he realised what she had been doing to protect him and she had been captured by the Lord Ruler. {{book ref|mb1|37}}
 
Due to Vin's nature as a Mistborn and her traits trained into her by Kelsier as an assassin, 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}}
Elend 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}} At the [[Well of Ascension]], however, she knew that Elend would want her to sacrifice him to save his people, and she loved him enough to trust his wishes and give up the power instead of saving him.{{book ref|mb2|58}}
 
During the final years of the World of Ash, ElandElend's trust and faith in his wife were shown implicitly by considering her on her own being an army {{book ref|mb3|3}}, having complete trust in her during the various fights with and command over Koloss armies that they controlled via[[Hemalurgy]]. Coming to a complete understanding during the fight at [[Fedrax]] by silently explaining their bluff to divert [[Ruin]]'s attention.{{book ref|mb3|67}}
 
During the Siege of the Pit's of Hathsin and Vin's Ascension, she assisted ElandElend by providing him additional powerful Investiture via contact that remained until the moment he was cut down by [[Marsh]], leading to Vin's sacrifice as she kills Ruin.{{book ref|mb3|81}}
 
After their death's and the ascension of Sazed as [[Harmony]], both ElandElend and Vin decline Kelsier's offer to remain in the Cognitive Realm and journey on together into the Beyond. {{msh ref|6|8}}
