'''Getrue''' is a [[skaa]] merchant and member of the [[Luthadel Assembly]] in the [[New Empire]] on [[Scadrial]]. He is one of the eight [[skaa]] merchant representatives.{{book ref|mb2|31}}
 
==Appearance and Personality==
Getrue easily gets manipulated by [[Philen Frandeu]], another merchant in the Assembly who has a disdain for [[Elend Venture]], but deep down he still has some faith in Elend as a ruler.{{book ref|mb2|31}}
Getrue has gained a lot of weight since the [[Collapse]].{{book ref|mb2|31}} Like all merchants in the Assembly, Getrue wears a very fine suit, seemingly even more refined than those worn by [[noble]]s.{{book ref|mb2|31}} He can be a pushover in the presence of stronger personalities.{{book ref|mb2|31}}
 
==History==
He has known Philen since the days of the [[Final Empire]]. Philen notes that Getrue has gained a lot of weight since the [[Collapse]]. Like all merchants in the Assembly, his costume seems even more refined than a [[noble]]'s costume.{{book ref|mb2|31}}
Getrue has known [[Philen Frandeu]] since the days of the [[Final Empire]], when Philen was known as "Lin"; Getrue is still prone to accidentally using that name.{{book ref|mb2|31}}
 
After the Collapse, [[Elend Venture]] abolishes restrictions on skaa merchants;{{book ref|mb2|5}} this allows a number of skaa merchants and craftsmen, including Getrue, to suddenly become far more wealthy than had been possible during the Final Empire.{{book ref|mb2|10}}
 
Getrue and Philen are chosen to serve in the Luthadel Assembly as two of the eight merchant representatives. Getrue seems to like some of [[Elend Venture]]'s ideas, but he is heavily influenced by Philen's aggressive politics.{{book ref|mb2|31}} The eight merchants typically vote in a bloc led by Philen, who opposes Elend and his idealistic policies.{{book ref|mb2|31}} Philen believes that the merchants should no longer be considered skaa;{{book ref|mb2|31}} he is highly motivated to gain a noble title and convinces the other merchants that this should be a key factor in their support of a ruler.{{book ref|mb2|34}}{{book ref|mb2|39}}
 
Getrue joins the rest of the Assembly in deposing Elend,{{book ref|mb2|27}} although he later seems to have some second thoughts about it.{{book ref|mb2|31}} He is expected to vote with Philen to crown [[Ashweather Cett]] as the new king,{{book ref|mb2|38}} but the merchants ultimately vote for [[Ferson Penrod]]{{book ref|mb2|38}} after he promises them more wealth and titles than Cett could offer, backed by [[Straff Venture]].{{book ref|mb2|38}}{{book ref|mb2|40}}
