History
The Skaa Rebellion
Rittle was recruttied to Kelsier's army, and was present to watch Demoux fight against Bilg.[2]
The New Empire
He was on guard with Wellen on the night that TenSoon impersonated Kelsier.[1] He was shocked and afraid to see "Kelsier", although he asked him why had sent the mists to kill them and he did not want to divulge information about King Penrod.[1] He told TenSoon that no one knew Vin's whereabouts.[1] TenSoon went on to tell Rittle and Wellen to lead people out of the city due to impending disaster.[1]
Rittle, Wellen, and a small group of other people that saw TenSoon set an evacuation into motion that resulted in hundreds of thousands of refugees heading to the Pits of Hathsin.[2] Rittle and Wellen were asked to speak to Demoux and Elend to verify their account of Kelsier. Rittle told Elend that he was certain they had seen Kelsier, although Elend noted that he had not left his best soldiers behind when he left Luthadel, and that Rittle did not look like a reliable witness. However, Rittle was insistent that he recognized Kelsier; he had converted to the Church of the Survivor on the day of Kelsier's death and he had seen him in person at the Arguois caverns on the day that Demoux fought Bilg.[3][1] Elend was still somewhat skeptical of his account, but believed that Rittle and Wellen were heroes anyway given the turmoil in Luthadel.[1]
