Gemmel is a Mistborn who trains Kelsier in the Allomantic arts.

“I'm here to teach you how to fight. Not how to talk. ”

—Gemmel about his teaching to Kelsier

Appearance and Personality

Gemmel is scrawny, and has a ragged gray beard and unkempt hair. Like most Mistborn he wears a mistcloak on nightly escapades.

The aging man isn't completely sane, mutters to himself, and sometimes seems more beast than man. He thinks that Kelsier's forced smiles look creepy, and often stops talking in the middle of an argument. According to Kelsier Gemmel doesn't understand humor, nor likes it when his pupil tries to take control.

History

Relationships

Kelsier

Gemmel is Kelsier's mentor in the Allomantic arts. His training primarily focuses on the Pushing and Pulling metals, steel and iron respectively, but he also helps Kelsier to think like an Allomancer, for example by pressing him to have all eight basic metals burning constantly. He frequently places his pupil in life or death scenarios, like pushing him off a city wall. Although he often grumbles at Kelsier, Gemmel likes him more than his previous three apprentices, sometimes even showing some sign of respect for him.

Trivia

• Gemmel met Zane once, but that meeting wasn't necessarily relevant.
• Gemmel was directed to find Kelsier, likely by Ruin.
• Fighting Kelsier to the death as a final piece of training seems like something Gemmel would do.
