'''Kelsier''' is a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] from [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb1|2}} He is stern and intense, but always smiling; another act of rebellion against the Lord Ruler's oppression. He hates injustice and takes this hatred to the extreme, which originally resulted in him being unable to see good in any of the nobility. This was changed by [[Vin]] who fell in love with [[Elend Venture]]. Kelsier went on to save Elend's life from an [[inquisitor]]. His late wife [[Mare]] collected pre-Ascension memorabilia, and he keeps one piece, a drawing of a [[Flower picture|flower]],{{book ref|mb1|17}} to inspire his crew. Kelsier is the younger brother of [[Marsh]], who is disappointed at Kelsier's apparent lack of direction or purpose until Kelsier leads the [[skaa rebellion]].

The "Survivor's Statemark" is one of the symbols of the faith. When [[Bleeder]] killed [[Father Bin]] by nailing him to a wall, it is described as a parody of the Survivor's Statemark,{{book ref|mb5|12}} implying that the Statemark depicts the way Kelsier died, impaled by a spear.
Aside from the Survivorists, there was also a whole civilization of people that worshiped Kelsier far
Before leaving them, he created the [[Bands of Mourning]], a collection of unsealed metalminds forged together and containing all kinds of attributes in extremely large quantities. He hid the artifact away somewhere in the north and then disappeared.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
Later on, a group of Southern Scadrians traveled north in search of the Sovereign's Bands of Mourning, but were captured by the [[Set]], who decided to seek the Bands as well. Wax and his friends became embroiled in this incident in opposition to the Set, and Wax was almost killed in an encounter with them.{{book ref|mb6|27}} After [[Marasi]] solved the riddle of the Bands and wielded it to escape the Set, she gave it to Wax, who wielded it and became incredibly powerful.{{book ref|mb6|28}} Wax then used the artifact to defeat the Set and save the Southern Scadrian prisoners, using up a lot of the Investiture stored in the Bands.{{book ref|mb6|29}}

Soon afterwards, Wax accessed a [[coppermind]] contained in a coin-like Southern Scadrian medallion that Hoid had given him and saw a vision of what appeared to be Kelsier's memory of discovering the Southern Scadrians hundreds of years prior. The vision, seen from Kelsier's point of view, showed that his spiked right eye viewed the world through Allomantic lines, similar to [[Steel Inquisitors]], while his left eye saw things normally.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}

Kelsier at first hated Leras for claiming to be God, enough to instantly punch him.{{msh ref|1|1}} For a period, he did not fully respect or believe Leras's divinity, but over time he came to respect him more.{{msh ref|2|3}} He nicknamed him Fuzz, due to his unraveled appearance.
Leras is fascinated by Kelsier due to him being the first to punch him after death, and being the first to attempt to recruit him to their schemes. Thus he decides to go along with him out of curiosity.{{msh ref|1|1}} Despite being mostly cordial with Kelsier, he does
