Difference between revisions of "Kelsier"

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 Kelseirs mother was killed, hence both of the brother's deep hatred for 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, the night of the death of his wife, he "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}}
