'''Kelsier''' is a half-[[skaa]] [[Allomancy#Mistborn|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.

Some might say that Kelsier is a psychopath, though this is debatable due to the intense anger he exhibits when innocents (or rather his idea of innocents) are harmed, which is a very empathetic trait.

== History ==
=== Early Life ===
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 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|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}}
