'''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. He hates injustice and takes this hatred to the extreme, which originally resulted in him being unable to see good in any of the nobility. This was changed by [[Vin]] who fell in love with [[Elend Venture]]. Kelsier went on to save Elend’sElend's life from an [[inquisitor]]. His late wife [[Mare]] collected pre-Ascension memorabilia, and he keeps one piece, a [[Flower picture|flower]]{{book ref|mb1|17}}, to inspire his crew. Kelsier is the younger brother of [[Marsh]], who is disappointed at Kelsier's apparent lack of direction or purpose until Kelsier leads the [[skaa rebellion]]. He always keeps a smile on his face, believing that is the best way to fight.
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
[[File: Kelsier portrait.png|left|150px|thumb|Portrait of Kelsier by [[User: Luaru]].]]
Kelsier is tall and hawk-faced and has light-blonde hair and hazel eyes{{book ref|mb1|3}}{{17swob ref|post|4350859216}}; 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, he wants 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. However he is not above using this personality to manipulate those around him to his own ends, as can be viewed through his spreading of the rumours of the "eleventh metal".
