Straff's proclivities regarding his mistresses are depraved, even for a Luthadel nobleman. He is fond of skaa brothels and goes to them regularly.{{book ref|mb2|26}} He describes [[Amaranta]], who is in her late twenties at the time, as having been quite attractive a decade before and says she is now too old to be attractive. He usually gets rid of his mistresses long before they reached her age.{{book ref|mb2|18}} He parades a mistress who bears a resemblance to Vin, who is perhaps fifteen years old before Elend and Vin, in an effort to induce a reaction and intimidate them with this display of casual cruelty.{{book ref|mb2|27}}
 
Several of these mistresses, including Amaranta, serve a purpose other than pleasure and attempting to have Allomanticaly gifted children. Amaranta acts as Straff’s chief herbalist, which is why he keeps her with him even after he no longer finds her attractive.
