== Attributes and Abilities ==
Demoux is an [[atium]] [[Misting]],.{{book althoughref|mb3|81}} he is more of a leader than a warrior. He was a general in [[Elend]]'s army and commanded it quite capably.{{book ref|mb3|8}}
 
Demoux further has some method of slowing his age, which proves quite useful in his activities with the [[Seventeenth Shard]].{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
 
== History ==
=== The Skaa Rebellion ===
Demoux was loyal to [[Kelsier]] and a terrific leader. Among the first recruits of Kelsier's rebellion, [[Hammond]] quickly promoted him to the rank of captain after Ham assumed leadership in light of Kelsier's absence. When Kelsier came to inspect the caves, it was Demoux who led him around. Immediately stepping forward to answer Kelsier's call for a man who would defend the honor of the rebellion, Demoux was singled out by Kelsier to fight the dissenter [[Bilg]].{{book ref|mb1|21}}
 
Before the fight, Hammond confided to Kelsier that while he was a trustworthy man, Demoux's fighting abilities were not great; Ham thought he was no match for Bilg in a fair fight. Assisted by Kelsier's [[Allomancy]], which he used to [[Steel|Push]] and [[Iron|Pull]] on Demoux's weapon, Demoux won the fight, and Kelsier seized the moment to invigorate his troops by proclaiming that Demoux had the arcane arts the [[Lord Ruler]] possessed - arts that they all might possess. Though Kelsier attempted to use him to kill Bilg, Demoux resisted, and Kelsier soon changed his mind and allowed Bilg to live.{{book ref|mb1|21}}
 
When [[Yeden]] decided to attack a fortified position, two thousand troops stayed back at the cave under Demoux's command, believing that the attack was not Kelsier's wish.{{book ref|mb1|25}}
 
=== The New Empire ===
Demoux was promoted to general under [[Elend]] in the [[New Empire]] some time after [[Ruin]]'s release from the [[Well of Ascension]].{{book ref|mb2|58}}{{book ref|mb3|8}}
 
When he ventured into the mists for the first time, he was stricken down by them, becoming one of the [[mistfallen]].{{book ref|mb3|17}} The mistfallen were sorted into their own company due to the superstition and hatred directed towards them by the other soldiers, resulting in a brawl where Bilg -the man whom Demoux fought before with the aid of Kelsier's Allomancy- punched the general and was executed for it.{{book ref|mb3|47}}
 
Demoux and his troops of mistfallen arrived at the [[Pits of Hathsin]] where the [[Terris]] survivors had settled.{{book ref|mb3|18}} They restored order and lent organization to the Terris people, who had been flooded with refugees. Demoux and his soldiers maintained law and order and essentially took command, though he showed a respect for the Terris elders; he became romantically involved with [[Aslydin]], the daughter of one of the elders, who fell in love with him for his honor and respectability.{{wob ref|8051}}
 
When Elend arrived, he discovered that the mistfallen had not been stricken down by the mists for nothing - they had been [[Snapping|Snapped]], awakening the Allomantic powers of a Seer (an [[atium]] misting) in all of them, including Demoux. Demoux and his men then charged the incoming koloss forces with Elend, fighting with the power and determination of an army of Allomancers ablaze with atium.{{book ref|mb3|81}} Although many Seers fell in the [[Battle of Hathsin]], Demoux survived the [[Final Ascension]].{{wob ref|8065}}
