'''Spook''', or '''Lestibournes''', is a [[skaa]] [[tin]] [[Misting]] (aka a [[Tineye]]) on [[Scadrial]]. He was a member of [[Kelsier's crew]] and worked for [[Elend Venture]] after the [[Collapse]]. After the [[Catacendre]], he became known as the Lord Mistborn and ruled the [[Elendel Basin]] for a hundred years before stepping down.{{book ref|mb6|5}}

=== Childhood ===
Named '''Jedal''' after [[Jedal|his father]],{{wob ref|6098}} Spook was born and raised in the Eastern Lands,

=== Kelsier's Crew ===
He scouted the city and understood the mood of the people. He was horrified with the killings of not only nobles but their descendants and all other inhuman practices in the city. Spook hired a thief lord [[Durn]] who helped him get some news from the City, he took him to the execution of ten skaa with noble blood but asked him to count the skulls.
During the speech after the execution, Spook got infuriated and when he got close to [[Beldre]] he spoke to her, first asking if she agreed with the executions, later letting her know he was the man who would kill
During the fight, Spook was stabbed with a sword that also pierced a [[pewterarm]]. The tip of the sword broke off with his body and became a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike which granted him the ability to burn [[pewter]]. The spike also gave Kelsier accsess to Spook's mind, letting him eventually talk to Spook.{{msh ref|6|5}}
Spook received [[Breeze]], [[Allrianne]] and [[Sazed]] into the city and helped them hide providing them with information. He showed them the cave where the Lord Ruler’s cache was and suggested it as their base.{{book ref|mb3|29}} He tried to talk to Sazed about Kelsier’s voice but with Sazed doubting his beliefs, Spook didn’t fully confide and just trusted they were being protected by the Survivor.{{book ref|mb3|31}}
After the [[Final Ascension]], Spook woke to the new world created by [[Sazed]], and found the bodies of Vin and Elend, along with the [[Words of Founding]]. [[Sazed]] also left a special [[Sazed's note|note]] for him, telling Spook that he had tried to bring Vin and Elend back, but couldn't. It explained that he had healed the damage Spook had done to himself by flaring tin and had made Spook a Mistborn, and hinting at the existence of more Allomantic metals.{{book ref|mb3|epilogue}}
Shortly after the Catacendre, Spook began receiving instruction on how to be a king from Breeze and combat training with Ham.{{msh ref|epilogue}} The other survivors insisted he have a nicer

Kelsier found a way to contact Spook in a dream and told him to forge an old Inquisitor spike into an earring. Spook managed to find a smith willing to do so and, against his better judgment, placed it on his ear. After that, he was able to see Kelsier because, between his broken mind and the Hemalurgic spike, he was able to see far enough into the [[Cognitive Realm]]. Kelsier then convinced him that their ignorance of the [[cosmere]] has almost resulted in the destruction of Scadrial and that they needed to work together to learn about the principles of the cosmere. Kelsier also implied that they could try to find a way to give Spook [[Feruchemy]], and thus the same powers the Lord Ruler had through [[Compounding]], and that he wanted to find a way to return to the [[Physical Realm]].{{msh ref|epilogue}} Likely as a result of these investigations, Spook wrote a book on [[Hemalurgy]]{{book ref|sos|6}} and was later known for having asked whether [[Harmony]] had a God Metal.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy'' Broadsheet}}
According to [[Steris]], Spook ruled as an emperor for a century before stepping down from power, after which [[Elendel]] was no longer supposed to exercise direct authority over the rest of the [[Elendel Basin]].{{book ref|bom|5}} As a ruler, he built buildings for the poor trying to avoid the development of slums{{book ref|bom|3}} and enacted laws to give power to the common people like Elend wanted.{{book ref|bom|9}} He also exerted a personal influence on society; his Eastern street slang became known as [[High Imperial]] and was used for official documents.{{book ref|mb4|14}} It appears he did not enjoy all of the duties associated with kingship, as he had Breeze write most of his speeches for him.{{book ref|mb6|6}}
== Relationships ==
{{image|Spook and Kelsier
=== Kelsier ===
Spook had a particular relationship with Kelsier, who named him Spook and gave him a spot in his crew. Although it was more
After his death, Kelsier continued to follow Spook. In Urteau, when he almost lost himself to anger and Ruin, Kelsier sends him "Hope" messages which might have helped him get understanding and taking out his spike. Spook's exhaustion knocked him out and Kelsier held him with Preservation's power, encouraging him, and when Spook doubted his connection to Kelsier he reminded Spook on who had named him. He told Spook that if he, Spook, really wanted to be like Kelsier, to fight when he was beaten. Spook reacted at this and went to save the city.{{msh ref|6|5}} After Sazed's Ascension, Kelsier interceded for him with the Shard, asking him to fix Spook's body and make him a Mistborn.{{msh ref|6|9}} Once Spook had forged the first [[Pathian]] earring, Kelsier was able to appear to him, and they began experimenting with Hemalurgy together.{{msh ref|epilogue}}
=== Elend ===
Elend and Spook had a cautious relationship in the beginning as the former could sense the latter liked Vin,{{book ref|mb2|6}} but they continue to grow fond of each other as they spend more and more time together.{{book ref|mb2|27}} Elend later reinforces to Spook that he is not being dismissed and he is valued for his skills
=== Sazed ===

Spook and Sazed became closer during their time at Urteau. As Sazed became more depressed, Spook took over the leadership of the crew. Sazed, even though he suspected he was getting mistborn powers like burning pewter, grew to respect him more and more.{{book ref|mb3|49}} Spook sought Sazed’s support with religion during the time he thought he could hear Kelsier
