== History ==
[[Kelsier]] is the only known person to survive imprisonment in the Pits.{{disputed}} This feat gains him the title, "The Survivor of Hathsin". He is forced into labor there along with his wife [[Mare]] as punishment for attempting to infiltrate and rob the Lord Ruler's palace, [[Kredik Shaw]]. After Mare dies in the Pits, Kelsier [[Snap]]s and escapes using his newfound abilities as a [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]].{{book ref|mb1|4}}
Several days before the fall of the [[Final Empire]], Kelsier returns to the Pits. There, he sets free the enslaved skaa prisoners and proceeds to destroy the majority of Hathsin's atium-producing crystals using allomancy. His iron is enough to detect trace amounts of atium in the crystals, and Pulling on them shatters the crystals with kinetic force. Afterwards, he remarks that his actions will likely end atium production in the Final Empire for the next three hundred years, as the crystals will need time to regrow before any more atium can be mined.{{book ref|mb1|32}}{{book ref|mb1|33}}
