High Prelan '''Arriev'''
==Appearance and Personality==
He wears gray robes and has a shaved, triangular head. He has exceptionally intricate tattoos around his eyes that extend back to his ears and onto his forehead, signifying his high rank among obligators.{{book ref|mb1|2}} Unlike most obligators, he does not look like a bureaucrat and is lean and muscular.{{book ref|mb1|2}} He is both confident and cunning, and his appearance combines with his personality to make him seem menacing.{{book ref|mb1|2}}{{book ref|mb1|3}}
==Attributes and Abilities==
[[Kelsier]] mentions that all obligators are trained to detect emotional [[Allomancy]], but Arriev is presumably highly skilled in this ability since he stepped in to negotiate with [[Camon]] and [[Vin]] after they had already aroused suspicion.{{book ref|mb1|2}}
==History==
When [[Camon]] posed as "Lord Jedue" in an attempt to scam the [[Steel Ministry]] with a fake transportation deal, he initially negotiated with Prelan [[Laird]].{{book ref|mb1|1}} After the Ministry turned him down, Camon offered an even better deal that Laird decided to consider after Vin [[Brass|Soothed]] him.{{book ref|mb1|1}} Camon later visited the Canton of Finance building accompanied by [[Vin]] and some of his other crew members, expecting to close the deal with Laird.{{book ref|mb1|2}} However, Arriev met with them instead, claiming that Laird was unavailable. Arriev mentioned that he did not usually meet with potential vendors, and that he was a member of the board that reviewed Camon's false deal.{{book ref|mb1|2}} Vin and Camon became extremely nervous, as Arriev was clearly more powerful and savvy than Laird. Vin had a bad feeling about the situation, especially after Arriev asked several pointed questions. She did not want to use her [[Allomancy]], but her worry that Arriev would turn them over to the Canton of Inquisition prompted her to use her abilities anyway. Arriev immediately became more pleasant and closed the deal with Camon, paying him three thousand [[boxing]]s.{{book ref|mb1|2}}
After the meeting, Vin felt like the interaction had been too easy.{{book ref|mb1|3}} [[Kelsier]] and [[Dockson]] were observing Camon, and saw Arriev exit the bulding with a [[Steel Inquisitor]] after the deal was closed.{{book ref|mb1|2}} They realized that the Ministry had already been suspicious of Camon and Vin, which is why Arriev was brought into negotiate; he was skilled at detecting emotional Allomancy.{{book ref|mb1|2}} Arriev had feigned his suddenly pleasant demeanor, and had assumed that the Inquisitor would be able to retrieve the money given to Camon. Arriev and the Inquisitor conferred before heading in the direction that [[Camon's crew]] had gone; two other obligator spies were assigned to track Camon and Vin to their safehouse.{{book ref|mb1|2}} Kelsier and Dockson intervened, diverting the Inquisitor and killing the two spies.{{book ref|Mb1|3}} Arriev's fate is not known.
Vin's experience with Arriev caused her to avoid obligators as much as possible.{{book ref|mb1|23}}
