== Appearance and Personality ==

{{for|/Gallery|more images}}

Rashek is tall, handsome and charismatic, with pale skin and black hair. He wears black and white clothing that resembles an exaggerated nobleman's suit, with a coat that runs down to his feet and trails behind him and a black vest accented with white markings. He also wears several rings, both as show of his wealth and as [[Feruchemical]] storage.{{book ref|mb1|34}}

 

== Attributes and Abilities ==

Rashek was born with the powers of a full [[Feruchemist]]. When he used the [[Well of Ascension]], he became a [[Sliver]] of [[Preservation]] and also used its power to make himself an extremely strong [[Mistborn]].{{wob ref|4499}}{{wob ref|685}} In addition to this, he has [[Hemalurgic]] spikes, charged with unknown attributes.{{wob ref|5865}} With a combination of all three [[Metallic Arts]], he is able to [[Compounding|Compound]] any metal that he has a metalmind made of, which he uses to pull off his most impressive feats. Rashek has used his metals enough to become nearly a [[savant]], if not a full savant, in every area.{{wob ref|4070}}{{wob ref|13393}}

 

As Rashek was using the power of the Well, he changed many aspects of life on [[Scadrial]], in order to save the world from the [[Deepness]]. Many of his changes, however, created even more problems that needed to be addressed. He moved the planet closer to its sun in an attempt to burn the mists away. The new orbit was too close to the sun, and he created active volcanoes to produce large amounts of ash and smoke to cool down the world.{{epigraph ref|mb3|4}} The climate of ceaseless ashfalls required some mechanism to break down the ash, that the world did not suffocate on it, so Rashek altered the plant life to be able to survive the ash and created microbes to break it down. However, that was still not enough to save humanity. Rashek altered the physiology of humans on Scadrial to be able to survive the ashfall.{{epigraph ref|mb3|5}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|15}}

 

 

He offered his friends a choice to make on behalf of all living Feruchemists, to transform them into [[mistwraith]]s. His friends he further transformed into [[kandra]] to allow them to retain their minds and their memories. In this process, he failed to account for Feruchemy genes still dormant in the Terris population, an oversight which allowed more Feruchemists to be born into following generations.{{epigraph ref|mb3|68}}
