Bilg complaining to Kelsier.{{book ref|mb1|21}} }}
== Appearance and Personality ==
Bilg is a big and brawny [[skaa]], and wears a vest and full beard. He was one of the finest swordsmen in the army that [[Kelsier]] gathered for the [[skaa rebellion]].{{book ref|mb1|21}}
He believed that Kelsier was sending the skaa army to a hopeless fight, and that they didn't have a chance of surviving. He'd been making trouble among the skaa army, but was clever enough to do that quietly. If he was allowed to leave, he would never sell out the rebellion to the [[Final Empire]], he just wanted to stay alive.{{book ref|mb1|21}}
== History ==
=== Yeden's army ===
When Kelsier visited the skaa army in the [[Arguois caverns]] he held a speech. During that speech he kept [[zinc|Rioting]] Bilg's emotions, provoking him to speak up against Kelsier and his plans. When this finally happened he challenged Bilg to a duel with captain Demoux, who wasn't a match for Bilg, and told him that he was allowed to leave if he'd win the duel. However, the duel lasted longer than expected, because Kelsier assisted Demoux with [[Iron]]pulling and [[Steel]]pushing. Eventually Kelsier would have killed Bilg through Demoux's hands, but the captain resisted delivering the final blow. Some servants rushed forward to help the wounded Bilg from the room.{{book ref|mb1|21}}
=== Elend's army ===
During the [[Siege of Fadrex City]] Bilg again was a troublemaker, this time in Elend's army. He claimed that the [[mistfallen]] were cursed, them being the cause of their misery. This resulted in a brawl, and general Demoux had to interfere. However, Bilg, who already had a grudge for Demoux{{wob ref|7784}}, punched his general in the face right when [[Elend]] joined the scene. According to the law, Elend had to let Bilg get executed, even though Demoux pleaded to only throw the man in solitary.{{book ref|mb3|47}}
== Trivia ==
*In the original draft of the ''[[The Final Empire]]'', Bilg is successfully executed by Kelsier.{{wob ref|2375}} Brandon, however, still preferred Bilg dead if it wasn't for his alpha readers, and therefore 'gave him what he deserved' in a later appearance.{{wob ref|7784}}
