== History ==

=== Childhood ===

Named '''Jedal''' after [[Jedal|his father]], Spook was born and raised in the Eastern Lands, wastelands of grit and sand.{{book ref|mb3|23}} His mother, [[Margel]], allowed him to run around with some of the street gangs, from whom he learned [[High Imperial|Eastern street slang]].

 

=== Urteau ===

Elend and Vin sent him to Urteau to gather as much information as he could about the Citizen and his government there.{{book ref|mb3|14}}

He was very good at sneaking into the Citizen’s house, where he went not only to listen to important information of the city and confirming [[Quellion]]’s (the Citizen) ideology and concerns on Elend as a tyrant; but to watch his sister [[Beldre]]. Spook liked her for her beauty and her sadness.{{book ref|mb3|14}}

 

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}}

 

Ever since his unexpected survival from the flames, Spook had heard people gossiping of him and that he was part of Kelsier’s crew and that Durn was behind these gossips. He eventually decided to confront him and found that Durn had been plotting against Quellion and had used the event to make him look bad. He decided to trust him and asked him to find Breeze. On his way out, a man approached him and asked to save his seven-year-old sister from the Citizen. Spook realized he is now in a better position to make a difference and decided to help.{{book ref|mb3|35}} He asked in return for ten men to help him dig the skulls from the fire where the Citizen had burned the prisoners days before. He found only nine skulls and understood Quellion was taking the Allomancers.{{book ref|mb3|38}}

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}}
