Kelsier is Vin’s mentor and teaches her to use her Allomantic abilities. Though [[Vin]] initially is wary and suspicious of him, she eventually learns to trust him, and he becomes somewhat of a father figure to her. He tries to teach Vin to smile and occasionally look on the bright side of things. They go on several outings together, including fighting [[Inquisitors]] this leads to Vin almost dying however and changes how Kelsier runs the crew. Though he is killed by the Lord Ruler, he watches over Vin as a Cognitive Shadow. He feels guilty for abandoning her but does his best to help her. He eventually plays an important role in freeing her from Ruin’s influence.
=== Gemmel ===

}}
Kelsier is terrified by Ati and the power that he holds, seeing and feeling it through the Well of Ascension.{{msh ref|2|2}}
Ati manipulated Kelsier for many years, grooming him in order to bring about his release. When Kelsier was in the Cognitive Realm after his release, he often would show up to him in order to mock him and his inability to do anything.
=== Leras ===

}}
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 hate him to an extent due to how he manipulated peoples faiths during his life, playing with their hearts and treating their faith casually.{{msh ref|6|4}} He also hates how much Kelsier goes against his Intent, bringing about massive societal change in how he brought about the death of the Lord Ruler, and played into Ruin's plans.{{msh ref|1|2}}
