'''Hammond''' iswas a [[skaa]] [[misting]] from the [[Final Empire]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb1|4}}

He was a [[Pewter|Thug]], and was a member of [[Kelsier]]'s band of thieves who helped to organize the rebellion's army of Skaa. Before joining [[Kelsier]]'s crew he had worked with [[Breeze]], whom he shared an unusual relationship with; although Breeze enjoyed Ham's company he outwardly complained regarding Ham's habit of thinking situations through philosophically. His intellectual abilities were seen as very unusual for a man of his profession, according to Kelsier.

As well as training the Skaa army for [[Yeden]]'s [[Skaa rebellion]], Ham trained [[Vin]] in using Pewter. Through doing this he gained a friendship with Vin, who accompanied him when travelling to the garrison in [[Luthadel]].

When [[OreSeur|Renoux]] and [[Spook]] were captured, Ham lead the attack to rescue them while Kelsier fought the [[Steel Inquisitor]] at the same time. Ham survived the Collapse and continued serve as a general under [[Elend]], whom he also befriended. However, he proved to be an ineffective general in some ways, as Vin observed, because of his attachment to his men. As a result, Captain [[Demoux]] eventually replaced him as a general.

After [[Ruin]] was released, Ham continued to help train soldiers and was present at the siege of [[Fadrex City]]. He was responsible for making Elend decide not to release the [[Koloss]] on the city, one of the only cases where Ham decided to make a total decision. Ham survived the Ascension[[Catacendre]].

Ham had a wife and children. He preferred to distance himself from them while working on thieving jobs for their own protection, sometimes going months without seeing them. He was reunited with his family after the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|mb3|Epilogue}}
