=== Childhood ===
Named '''Jedal''' after [[Jedal|his father]], Spook was born and raised in the Eastern Lands, a wasteland known for its sand and grit.{{book ref|mb3|23}} Spook lived with his Mother and Father in a dirty shack with several other Skaa and often ducked out to run around with Skaa children in some of the street gangs, where he learned [[High Imperial|Eastern street slang]]. Jedal blamed Spooks lack of discipline on [[Margel|his mother]] allowing him to spend so much time with the street gangs.{{book ref|mb3|23}}
Spook [[Snapping|Snapped]] at the age of five, becoming a [[Tineye]]. {{book ref|mb1|32}} The [[noble]] blood in his family comes from his grandfather, whom he never knew.{{book ref|mb3|53}} After learning of his [[Allomancy]], [[Jedal]] and his family were prepared to have him killed in order to hide the families noble blood from the [[Steel Ministry]]. [[Margel]], however, had known about Spook's Allomancy for some time, and sent word to her brother [[Cladent]], who knew having another Tineye would be useful. Cladent arrived before Jedal could kill Spook and traded coins for Spook's freedom, promising to take the young boy back to [[Luthadel]]. When Cladent asked for his name, Spook decided he did not want to be called by the same name as his father. He told Cladent his name was now '''Lestibournes''', an Eastern street slang contraction of "lefting I'm born," which means "I've been abandoned."{{book ref|mb3|23}} Kelsier later re-named him "Spook".{{book ref|mb3|23}}
