[[File:Kelsier's Meeting by Rafael Sousa.jpg|thumb|right|x120px|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/Rafael Sousa|Rafael Sousa]]</small></center>Kelsier meeting the skaa]]Born to a [[noble]] father and skaa mother{{book ref|mb1|8}}, his mother kept both Kelsier and Marsh alive by pretending that she was a noble to their father, so that their children would be considered merely illegitimate noblemen instead of half-breeds; however, their father eventually found out. Thus Kelsier's mother was killed, and because of this, the brothers have a deep hatred of noblemen. Kelsier then made his living as a thief, becoming famous throughout [[Luthadel]]. However, after a failed attempt at stealing from the Lord Ruler himself in his secret room inside [[Kredik Shaw]], he was sent to the [[atium]] mines in the [[Pits of Hathsin]]{{book ref|mb1|4}}. There he spent his time believing that his wife Mare had betrayed him to the Lord Ruler, until he witnessed his wife being beaten to death by guards after she gifted her Atium bead to him. He then "Snapped", becoming a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]]{{book ref|mb1|17}}. Using Allomancy he was able to escape the Pits. Kelsier was then trained by a Mistborn named [[Gemmel]]{{book ref|11m}} and they travelled to the far north of the [[Western Dominance]] to a city called [[Mantiz]] where Kelsier heard rumours of the [[malatium|Eleventh metal]] from the skaa in [[Keep Shezler]]. Kelsier sought and eventually found the Eleventh metal as he believed it would help him to defeat the Lord Ruler.{{book ref|11m}}

[[File: Yeden's Army by Kelly Mai.jpg|thumb|left|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/Kelly Mai|Kelly Mai]]</small></center>Kelsier overlooking [[Yeden]]'s rebel army]]After discovering the [[malatium|Eleventh Metal]] Kelsier travels back to Luthadel and takes a job from the skaa rebellion to bring down the Final Empire. After gathering a team of some of the best (and Kelsier believed, the kindest) thieves in the city, including skilled [[misting]]s, he sets in motion a plan to destroy the [[Final Empire]] and kill the [[Lord Ruler]]. After saving her from her former crew, he takes on [[Vin]] as a student after confirming his suspicions about her being a Mistborn and saving her from [[Camon]]{{book ref|mb1|3}}. While pulling off the plan, Kelsier himself takes on many roles, acting as a beacon to the repressed skaa, assisting in recruitment{{book ref|mb1|10}}, attacking many noblemen to increase the tensions between the Great Houses{{book ref|mb1|5}}, collecting information by purchasing it from informants, and even poses as an informant himself in order to provide misinformation to noblemen.{{book ref|mb1|19}} Though they suffer many setbacks, Kelsier's leadership allows the rebellion to attain an army of sufficient size to hold Luthadel.▼
