'''Rashek''' is a [[Terrisman]] from [[Scadrial]]. Known as the '''Lord Ruler''', the '''Sliver of Infinity''' and the '''Father''', he has access to the full range of abilities of both a [[Feruchemist]] and an [[Allomancer]]. As a result, he is an extremely powerful [[Compounding|Compounder]], and he was able to unify the world into an empire that lasted for one thousand years.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Rashek is tall and handsome. He has pale skin and has 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 strength and as Feruchemical storage.{{book ref|mb1|34}}
He is charismatic.
Prior to his Ascension, he disliked the people of [[Khlennium]], and was hostile and angry towards them, despite never having been to the state, because of their oppression of the Terris people.{{epigraph ref|mb1|7}}{{epigraph ref|mb2|50}} Though he hated them, he also envied several aspects of their culture, later incorporating them into the culture of the Final Empire.{{epigraph ref|mb1|32}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|26}}
== History ==
=== Pre-Ascension ===
Rashek was part of a growing number of young Terris who had more violent attitudes than was seen as typical of their people. They believed that their Feruchemy should have been put to greater use than it was as a tool for simple labour. Alendi believed Rashek and his fellows to be dangerous, given the opportunity.{{epigraph ref|mb1|11}}
Rashek believed that [[Alendi]] was not the true [[Hero of Ages]], and was resentful of him.{{epigraph ref|mb1|21}} He thought that an outsider -- someone not pure Terris, as well as an oppressor of Terris -- could not be the Hero, and that Alendi had tricked the Terris philosophers.{{epigraph ref|mb1|27}}{{epigraph ref|mb2|50}} He led Alendi to the [[Well of Ascension]] and killed him, under instructions from his uncle, [[Kwaan]]. He then took and used the power of [[Preservation]], ascending to become the Lord Ruler.
He has had at least one child, who had some relation to his attempt to end the Final Empire.{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|crp8mn|text=Did the Lord Ruler have children?|date=29 may 2015}}{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|crwx3j1|text=Did the Lord Ruler's children have something to do with the Lord Ruler's plot to once "give up" in the Final Empire?|date=6 june 2015}}▼
=== Ascension ===
As he was using the power of the Well, he changed many aspects of life on Scadrial.
The Lord Ruler said his empire lasted a thousand years. More specifically, it had lasted 1024 years. {{qa ref|691|3|Why did the Well of Ascension refill every thousand years rather than 500 or 200, etc.?|date=2010-05}}
