| − | Clubs is generally a surly individual who often displays a grim and pessimistic demeanor. He has a gnarled face that's often compared to a piece of knotted wood. Upon first meeting others, he can come across hostile and untrusting. Although he appears to be older than [[Breeze]], he is still physically fit. In spite of this, he walks with a limping gait. The source of which is a long twisting scar that runs up his calf and thigh, which he received during a skirmish while in the employ of the [[Lord Ruler]]{{book ref|mb1|ch5}}{{book ref|mb1|35}} He generally regards those around him with disapproval, but viewed as loyal and trustworthy by [[Kelsier]]. He fiercely distrusts [[Soother]]s and [[Rioter]]s due to their ability to manipulate peoples emotions. Even though he is immune to their [[allomancy]], he stills see's both mistings as manipulative.

| − | === Allomancy === |

He [[snapping|Snapped]] during his time in the the [[Lord Ruler]]'s army, in his last fight, where he wounded and then discharged.{{wob ref|7544}} After snapping, Clubs discovered he was capable of burning copper. As a [[Smoker]], Clubs is able to create a coppercloud around him that blocks the [[bronze]] sense of [[Seeker]]s and [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]. This ability extends beyond himself, and allows others to use allomancy near him, without being discovered. Burning copper will also make him immune to any emotional allomancy.{{book ref|mb1|14}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Military Prowess === |
||
| − | For nearly a year, Clubs acts as the general for [[Elend]]'s military forces, and he is [[Kelsier]]s chosen team member to lead the assault against the Lord Ruler's palace. Clubs gained this military prowess and leadership during his time in the Lord Rulers army as an officer. It is unclear how many soldiers he led during his time, or how long he served there, but he has quite the knack for leading large groups of fighters. |

| + | Breeze's age is never explicitly stated, but can be estimated. He claims that "[[Allrianne]] is half his age"{{book ref|mb2|36}} and that he has spent 30 years in the underground.{{book ref|mb2|46}} This implies a birth date between {{date|980|fe}} (assuming he joined the underground at the age of 14) and {{date|988|fe}} (a literal double of Allrianne's age). As a full blooded nobleman{{wob ref|2355}}{{book ref|mb2|23}}{{book ref|mb5|19}}, it is fairly safe to assume he did not join the underground before the age of 10 and that 30 years in the underground can mean no less than 26 years, even if he is rounding by decades rather than the more usual 5 years. This puts the very latest date at {{date|988|fe}}, but it is probably more around {{date|984|fe}}. |

| − | Prior to joining [[Kelsier's crew]] Clubs worked as a master carpenter and was a Skaa merchant in Luthadel. His woodworking shop, which also operated base of operations and hideout for Kelsier's crew was known as a prominent Skaa Craftsman's shop.{{book ref|mb1|6}} Before this, Cladent worked as a soldier in the [[Lord Ruler]]’s army with some level command. During his time fighting in the southeast, he [[Snapping|Snapped]], becoming a [[Smoker]].{{wob ref|7707}}{{wob ref|7544}} After being injured and discharged, Clubs joined the underground.

| − | Once Kelsier's crew used Club's shop as a secret base of operations in Luthadel, he was tasked with maintaining a [[coppercloud]] around his shop to protect those inside from prying [[Seeker]]s. He also serves as host for the crew, offering them a place to sleep, eat and bathe as needed. While essential to the crew, Clubs rarely leaves the shop as he is the crews primary Smoker, though he also employs many assistant carpenters who are also Smokers.{{book ref|mb1|7}} |

Sazed remarked that the care that Clubs devoted to his carpentry showed his true passion to be art, not warfare. As a token of the Dadradah faith, he also gives Clubs a small wooden disk carved with the image of a brush.{{book ref|mb2|50}} |

Initially Clubs was not interested in hearing about the religion at all, but Sazed noted that the followers of Dadradah were artists, and that they believed that art drew one closer to God. Upon hearing this information, Clubs was more inclined to listen. Sazed noticed the care and skill that Clubs put into his woodworking in his shop, before the fall of the Lord Ruler. Sazed had a wooden disk of the symbol for the Dadradah faith made for Clubs, which Sazed later found clutched in his hand after he had been killed by the Koloss. |

Edgard Ladrian, better known as Breeze, is a member of Kelsier's crew on Scadrial.[2]
Appearance and Personality
He is commonly described as "portly", though he has lost weight at various points.[3] He wears extremely colorful clothes, and has black hair and a mustache.[expand] Breeze is often lazy, and delights in getting people to do things he doesn’t want to do, such as fetching him drinks.[3]
Attributes and Abilities
He is a Soother, who subtly Soothes everyone he comes across. This leads him to be mistrusted by many people. They are reluctant to do anything for him, as they are worried he might be Soothing them.[3] He is believed by Kelsier and many of his crew to be one of the most skilled Soothers on Scadrial. He helps to teach Vin some of the more in-depth aspects of Soothing. He has a refined and intricate control over his Soothing, and is skilled at Soothing people without them noticing. He does this to Vin on a few occasions.[4] He could influence several hundred people at once.
History
Breeze's age is never explicitly stated, but can be estimated. He claims that "Allrianne is half his age"[5] and that he has spent 30 years in the underground.[6] This implies a birth date between 980 FE (assuming he joined the underground at the age of 14) and 988 FE (a literal double of Allrianne's age). As a full blooded nobleman[7][8][9], it is fairly safe to assume he did not join the underground before the age of 10 and that 30 years in the underground can mean no less than 26 years, even if he is rounding by decades rather than the more usual 5 years. This puts the very latest date at 988 FE, but it is probably more around 984 FE.
Breeze was invited by Dockson to attend Kelsier's meeting in Camon's old lair. He and Ham arrived around the same time and met Vin. She got angry when she realized he was Soothing her. When Kelsier explained his plan, Breeze joined his crew.[3]
In the crew, Breeze was often used by Kelsier to interact with nobles, and he had several aliases among the different noble families.[1] During the overthrow of the Final Empire, he operated with a team of Soothers and Rioters to recruit skaa for their army.[4] During one of the meetings he taught Vin how to use zinc and brass. After the rebellion when Elend became king, Breeze helped him write his speeches, as he was very skilled with persuasion even without using his Soothing. At some point he left to spy on Cett. He began a relationship with Allrianne Cett while he was in the service of Lord Cett. When Cett attempted to invade Luthadel, he reunited with the crew. He tried to deny Allrianne because of the huge age difference between them, but was brought into close contact when she arrived begging for protection.[10] It was later discovered that she was a Rioter, and had been Rioting Breeze's emotions.[5]. It is unclear how much of his affection for her is due to genuine attraction for her and how much is due to this rioting, but she considers her conquest of Breeze one of her proudest accomplishments.[11] Breeze often Soothed members of the crew to make them more confident, although he did not want anybody to know about this because he would lose his reputation for being uncaring.[12]
During the Siege of Luthadel, Breeze acted as an advisor to Elend and bolstered his confidence during public appearances,[12] routinely helping control the mood of the crowd during them. This backfired, however, when Cett pointed out that Elend had soothers in the crowd following his speech at the start of the election for king.[13] During the Battle of Luthadel, Breeze placed his soothers in various squads to bolster the garrison, doing the same himself[14] until he eventually broke when Clubs was killed by a koloss in the fighting, causing him to become catatonic until Ham managed to find him and bring him to safety.[15] He remained unresponsive for the rest of the book.
Relationships
House Ladrian
It was believed that he is a half-skaa, but is truly a nobleman in hiding by the name of Edgard Ladrian.[7][8][9] After the Final Ascension, he becomes known as the Counselor of Gods,[16] and founds House Ladrian. He is the ancestor of Waxillium Ladrian. One of his hands was given to a Kandra, and is still in use after the Catacendre.[17]
