== History ==

=== Early Life ===

TenSoon was born in the third century of the Final Empire as a part of the Third Generation.{{book ref|mb3|7}} TenSoon and the other Kandra tried to live among the humans, but the humans were afraid of the Kandra's abilities and began to hunt them. In the face of extinction, the Kandra offered their services to the people.{{book ref|mb2|22}} TenSoon was present when the first service contracts were drawn up.

 

=== Pre Catacendre ===

When Elend Venture returns from one of the balls, he sees his father, Straff Venture, in his office, speaking to TenSoon. At the time, TenSoon is wearing the body of a servant from House Hasting.{{book ref|mb1|28}}

 

His actions in the events of the Catacendre came to be known by the kandra as the "Remarked Duplicity."{{book ref|mb5|13}} He is known among Kandra for being the best impersonator and for the speed at which he can change bones. TenSoon has degraded memories from the time right before his spikes were removed.{{book ref|mb5|20}}

 

 

[[Waxillium Ladrian]] met TenSoon who was imitating Captain [[Brettin]] after the arrest of [[Miles Dagouter]]. Brettin was killed in an unrelated matter, so [[Harmony]] had TenSoon impersonate him.{{wob ref|10001}} TenSoon did not have the opportunity to observe Brettin prior to his death, and so it was an imperfect impersonation. Those who knew Brettin could detect something off about him. TenSoon used Brettin's bones to submit a backdated request to the Senate for a citywide deputized forbearance for Wax.{{book ref|mb4|20}} This freed Wax from any charges incurred during his investigation of the [[Vanishers]], as well as granted him powers of investigation and arrest. He informed Wax of this action after Wax and Marasi's final confrontation with Miles. Brettin, still being impersonated by TenSoon, retired after Miles' execution,{{book ref|mb5|4}} and presumably his bones were laid to rest.

During the hunt for [[Paalm]] he met Wax to guide him to the Kandra Homeland in an attempt to find more information on Bleeder. He first appeared in the form of a very large wolfhound and changed into a human form, then back to the wolfhound. Wax observed him change bones in mere seconds. He helped Wax escape from [[chimera]]s through the remnants of the [[Pits of Hathsin]].{{book ref|mb5|21}}
