→‎History: added contents of secret history. i was unsure of how to differentiate between parts of the book as chapter numbers restart at the beginning of each part so that still needs to be fixed. some pages need to be linked from what I added.

=== Death ===
When several skaa from the rebellion are about to be executed, Kelsier attempts to save them. He is confronted by a Steel Inquisitor which he eventually manages to defeat by beheading him with the Inquisitor's own obsidian axe. However, Kelsier is then confronted by the Lord Ruler, who backhands him across the face and then stabs him in the chest with a spear, killing him.{{book ref|mb1|34}} Kelsier later reveals in his letter to Vin that he had intended to use the Eleventh Metal to destroy the Lord Ruler but could not discover how to use it in his fight.{{book ref|mb1|35}} His death results in the founding of the Church of the Survivor, who call him "Lord of the Mists". As a result of this Vin also becomes a major religious figure.
 
=== Time in the Cognitive Realm ===
Kelsier was met by [[Leras]] directly after his death, and punched him {{annotation ref|msh|chapter=1}}. Then he finds the power at the [[Well of Ascension]] and becomes trapped there with [[Ati|Ruin]], allowing him to remain in the cognitive realm{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=1}}. While he is in the Well, Hoid passes by and Kelsier essentially challenges him to a fight that Kelsier ultimately loses{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=1}}. He feels Ruin's presence during his time in the Well.
 
Once he is freed from the Well along with Ruin, he initially travels around through the cognitive version of Luthadel, seeking out his friends. He finds Vin and Ham near the steps of Keep Venture and also learned that Dockson had died in the Battle of Luthadel{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=1}}. He walks past Lutahdel towards the lake of the same name, near which he finds [[Khrissalla|Khriss]] and [[Nazrilof|Nazh]]. They question him on Preservation's appearance after learning he has spoken directly with the shard, and then continue their discussion onto other topics. Khriss mentions the Ire which sets Kelsier onto his next quest of finding their base of operation{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=2}}.
 
During his journey to find the Ire, he runs into Ruin and has a discussion about Ruin's intent{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=4}}. After that, he left the area of the Cognitive Realm surrounding Scadrial and moved closer to finding the Ire. When he reaches their base, he moved past their guards and passed the wall into their chambers{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=2}}. He ultimately only took a glass orb from them after thwarting their plan to take over being the vessel of Preservation{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=3}}.
 
When he returns to Scadrial he finds that Preservation's power is significantly weakened. He also runs into Vin and is shocked to see how far she has come in the time he was away{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=1}}. He stays with her for a while after that, but ultimately has to leave {{annotation ref|msh|chapter=2}}.
 
When Leras died and lost power over the shard of Preservation, Kelsier took the power and held it for Vin on behalf of Leras {{annotation ref|msh|chapter=4}}. While he held the power, he found Spook and told him to send a message to Vin that any spiked person could potentially be under Ruin's control {{annotation ref|msh|chapter=6}}. He also continually clashed with Ruin during his time holding the shard Preservation{{annotation ref|msh|5}}{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=6}}. When Vin's spike is removed, Kelsier relinquished Preservation's power to her{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=7}}. After she and Elend are killed, Kelsier speaks with them before they pass on into a different realm{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=8}}.
 
After Sazed's ascension and Spook's rise to political power, Kelsier begins to speak with Spook about finding a way to bring himself back to the Physical Realm{{annotation ref|msh|chapter=epilogue}}.
