In early {{date|1021|fe}}, as Kelsier's plan to overthrow the [[Final Empire]] was getting started, he was fifteen.{{book ref|mb1|22}} Spook was initially very shy after joining [[Kelsier's crew]], as he still spoke in Eastern street slang, which made it hard for the rest of the crew to fully understand him.{{book ref|mb1|24}}
After the [[Collapse]], he was much more confident. He stopped using his street cant and grew to over six feet tall, barely resembling the gangly boy he was before. On at least one occasion, he wore a beard as a disguise.{{book ref|mb2|6}}
Around this time he started to show his like for women, almost any type. He didn't get much response, but he liked to flirt a lot.{{book ref|mb2|25}}

The city was ready for a revolt, Quellion was about to do a hate speech against Spook. The latter killed the Citizen’s guards and fought him, looking for him to shoot coins and prove himself an Allomancer to complete the city’s hatred. Beldre got there and shoots Spook to save her brother. The City riots as they understood what she is and that their ruler had killed their noble blood family but not his sister. Spook felt betrayed and Kelsier’s voice pushed him to kill her and use her spike to get her power. The hate speech from Kelsier and the spike information helped him understand it was the spike at the first fire that had caused all this. Looking at Quellion, he correctly guessed he was being affected too. He took out Quellion's spike first and then his. He lost Pewter and was almost out of breath. He saw the city in flames and waited
After Spook saved the city from destruction, while he was in a coma, Kelsier was able to communicate with him. He gave encouragement and praise, but mostly explained Vin had a spike and was hearing Ruin.{{msh ref|6|6}} Spook then wrote [[Spook's note|a message]] on a metal sheet saying "Don't trust anyone pierced by metal. Even the smallest bit can taint a man." [[Goradel]] offered to take it to Vin, but was intercepted and killed by [[Marsh]], who was under Ruin's control.{{book ref|mb3|58}}{{book ref|mb3|64}} However, just as Kelsier had intended all along,{{msh ref|6|7}} the note allowed Marsh to figure out that [[Vin's earring]] was a spike and resist Ruin's control for long enough to rip the earring out.{{book ref|mb3|72}}
