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 to the water to flood the city. Beldre confirmed she had killed the soldiers to escape and there was no one to flood the city. They went back along with Sazed and find the building in flames, they were about to return defeated when he heard Kelsier’s real voice, who said he had chosen him as his friend. Spook went into the burning building and as he had no more strength, he just threw his weight to the machine to get it moving and collapsed.{{book ref|mb3|58}}

=== The Final Ascension and Aftermath ===
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}}

In dreams Kelsier found a way to connect with him and asked for a hermalugic spike. Spook managed to get it and against his better judgement placed it on his ear. After that he was able to see Kelsier. “Broken mind, Hemalurgic spike. You can see just enough into the Cognitive Realm” Kelsier explained. {{msh ref|epilogue}} He went on explaining how ignorance almost cost the world and that they could find answers together. It is implied Spook would seek strength and immortality like the Lord Ruler’s and Kelsier would find the “string” that could bring him back to life. {{msh ref|epilogue}}

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 judgement, 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 learna 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 reutn 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}} By {{date|343|PC}}, his abilities as a Mistborn had tranformed him into a near-mythological figure and he was known as the "Lord Mistborn."{{book ref|aol|7}}
[[Steris]] implied that Spook ruled as an emperor for a century before stepping down from power and that he should be the last Emperor/King and move to more Governor type of ruling.{{book ref|bom|5}} [[Marasi]] later refers to him as as "The most powerful Allomancer who ever lived. A nearly mythological figure, someone who had all sixteen Allomantic powers in one body."{{book ref|aol|7}}
It is also known he built buildings for the poor trying to avoid slums{{book ref|bom|3}} and created laws where power would go to common people like Elend wanted.{{book ref|bom|9}}
 
Spook was referred to as the '''Lord Mistborn'''. It is not clear what his role in that early government is, but he was clearly very prominent and powerful, judging by the fact that his Eastern street slang becomes known as [[High Imperial]]. He was also known to have engaged in philosophy and appears to be somewhat aware of the inner workings of the Shards, and was noted for begging the question, "Having the has Sazed a metal?"{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy '' Broadsheet}} He wrote a book on Hemalurgy which was not of the like of Harmony {{book ref|sos|6}} However, Spook was confirmed as a "stud" after the Final Ascension,{{wob ref|1093}} having over a dozen children.{{wob ref|4106}}
 
== Relationships ==
Spook had a particular relationship with Kelsier. The latter named him Spook and gave him a spot in his Crew. It was more than a favor to Clubs which is shown by Kelsier’s interest on talking with him on his native language and giving him moral support. After Kelsier’s death, much of Spook's efforts were to become someone that he would have been proud of{{book ref|mb3|14}} to the point where Ruin used this connection to impersonate Kelsier's voice in Spook’s mind.{{book ref|mb2|14}}
 
After his death, Kelsier continued to follow Spook. In Uretau, when he almost lost himself to anger and Ruin, Keliser sends him "Hope" messages which might have helped him get understanding and taking out his spike. Spooks exhaustion knocked him out and Keliser held him with Peservation's power, encouraging him and when Spook doubted his connection to Kelser he reminded Spook on who had named him. He saw Spook react at this and then, save the city.{{msh ref|6|5}} He also interceded for him with Sazed, asking him to fix hisSpook's body and make him a Mistborn. {{msh ref|6|9}}
