Kelsier is tall and hawk-faced and has light-blonde hair and hazel eyes;{{book ref|mb1|3}}{{wob ref|9216}} he has a multitude of large scars crossing both arms from his time in the [[Pits of Hathsin]].{{book ref|mb1|prologue}} He usually wears a nobleman's suit (a colored vest with dark trousers and a coat), and for night time activities his [[mistcloak]].
He is almost always late to gatherings, which he attributes to always having somewhere better to be.{{book ref|mb1|27}} He always smiles and projects an excited and positive attitude, which is particularly unusual in the skaa underground. He does this in order to fight the Lord Ruler's oppression of all the skaa, wanting to have one thing which cannot be taken away from him.{{book ref|mb1|prologue}} He hates all of the nobility and tends to believe that all of them are to blame for the plight of the skaa, although near the end of his life this attitude changes due to Vin's insistence that [[Elend]] is different and that not all the nobles should be fought. He has an imposing presence and is a natural leader, easily taking charge and swaying even the downtrodden skaa of Luthadel into joining the rebellion with his charming personality.
Kelsier has some psychopathic tendencies,{{wob ref|8700}} including a lack of empathy and fear as well as a high ego.{{wob ref|4103}} He is arrogant and very driven which, combined with his power, makes him incredibly dangerous;{{wob ref|14601}} he is willing to go extremely far to achieve his goals, though is not quite as utilitarian as [[Taravangian]].{{wob ref|14537}} Perhaps as a result of his egotism and arrogance, several of his plans involve setting himself up as a powerful, mysterious, or even divine figure.{{book ref|mb1|35}}{{book ref|mb6|21}}{{book ref|sa4|115}}{{wob ref|14641}} He is a great agent of chaos and is very good at tearing things down and messing with what other people want.{{wob ref|14601}} There is a darkness to him that other heroes, such as [[Kaladin]], would fight but that Kelsier instead embraces and is so ruthless that, in a fight with other notable people from the [[cosmere]], he would be the most likely to win;{{wob ref|9702}}{{wob ref|1779}} even [[Hoid]] considers him incredibly dangerous.{{book ref|sa4|64}} Had his life gone differently, he could have been an outright evil person and, outside the context of the [[Final Empire]], would likely be a villain.{{wob ref|4103}}{{wob ref|14601}}{{wob ref|9702}}
