=== Ruin ===
{{theory}}
It is very likely that Gemmel is [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgically]] spiked. The two main reasons to assume this are that Gemmel hears a voice no one else hears that seems to tell him to kill everyone he meets ([[Ruin]]'s voice), and that the [[mist]]s aren't attracted to him like they are drawn to most Allomancers.{{book ref|11m}}{{wob ref|712}}
Through Ruin, Gemmel knew things he probably couldn't have figured out by himself, like certain aspects about Kelsier's past or where to find the [[Malatium|Eleventh Metal]]. Ruin's influence also affects Gemmel's personality. At first sight, he just seems a madman, but a lot of what he says to Kelsier is very similar to Ruin's sayings. This applies especially to his answer on Kelsier's sarcastic question about the meaning of life.{{book ref|11m}}{{book ref|mb3|57}}
