In his early life, Dockson was a plantation [[skaa]] under Lord [[Devinshae]]. It was a hard life, but he ate more regularly than a street skaa. Amongst plantation lords, Devinshae was rather lenient, which meant he "rarely" beat his skaa to death. Dockson started to sneak between hovels to spend time with his girlfriend, [[Kareien]]. The other skaa played along, hiding them from the taskmasters, because their romance inspired them. But one day, Lord Devinshae took Kareien to his house and raped her, returning her body in the next morning. The following evening, Dockson escaped from the plantation.{{book ref|mb1|22}} He later met [[Kelsier]] and they started to steal from nobles, eventually becoming the most infamous crewleaders in [[Luthadel]], even having no powers.{{book ref|mb1|5}}Eventually, Kelsier met and married a [[Tineye]] named [[Mare]]. Dockson was involved in their plan to steal whatever was inside the [[Lord Ruler]]'s secret room, but didn’t actively participate in the mission. The plan failed, and Kelsier and Mare were caught and sent to the [[Pits of Hathsin]]. Dockson managed to evade capture but was forced into hiding. He continued to work as a thief and planner, but on a smaller scale.

 

When Kelsier became a Mistborn and returned to [[Luthadel]], he first sought out Dockson and recruited him for his plan. Dockson once again became Kelsier’s organizer and right hand man.

 

Dockson met his death with a sword in hand during the [[Battle of Luthadel]]. Seeing his impending end, he offered himself a little redemption and remarked that had things been different -- had they turned on the nobility as he had wanted to in the [[Collapse]] -- then he and others would have been no better than beasts. He believed that they had done the right thing after all.{{wob ref|5437}}{{book ref|mb2|53}}
