'''Forch''' is a [[Terris]] youth living in [[The Village]] in [[Elendel]] on [[Scadrial]] during [[Waxillium Ladrian]]'s youth.{{book ref|mb6|prologue}} A [[Twinborn]], he is both a [[steel]] [[Misting]] (aka a [[Steel#Allomantic_Use|Coinshot]]) and a [[pewter]] [[Ferring]] (aka a [[Pewter#Feruchemical_Use|Brute]]). Forch is an arsonist and a kidnapper thatand is killed by Waxillium Ladrian. His interactions with the young Wax strongly influences Wax's later life, forcing him to leave the Village and pushing him further on his path to becoming a lawman.

Forch is a Twinborn, with access to both an Allomantic and a Feruchemical ability.{{book ref|mb6|prologue}} Forch is a Coinshot, which allows him to Push on metal objects. He is a strong Allomancer, able to challenge Wax in strength. Since Forch lives in the Village, he cannot make use of his Allomancy openly,; he is restricted to using it privately and in emergency situations. This means thatThus he is not very practiced in its use and can misjudge the force of his Pushes as well as how much he should brace himself. He also lacks finesse with Allomancy, making use of simple weapons like a metal bar used to crush his opponents. He is also a Brute which allows Forch to store strength in a pewtermind and tap it to grow stronger at a later time. Forch uses this typically in hand-to-hand fights, easily beating others with his enhanced strength. He also sometimes uses it with his Allomancy, throwing metal objects into places where he can conveniently Push on them.

About a month later, Forch planned to sneak out of the Village in the evening to drink with [[Telsin Ladrian]], [[Idashwy]], [[Kwashim]], and [[Waxillium Ladrian]].{{book ref|mb6|prologue}} Waxillium became nervous and did not accompany them, but Forch left with the others. While he was away, a constable vistitedvisited the Village and attempted to convince Vwafendal to turn the arsonist over to him. Vwafendal refused and the constable left a bullet as a reminder of past violent crimes in the Village.
