him. At times, she had lived like a beggar, sleeping in exposed alleys.{{book ref|mb3|27}} Reen's lessons and attempts to strengthen her -- like taking her on burglaries to teach her to steal{{book ref|mb1|13}} and teaching her to survive the skaa underground -- were abusive. He beat her for things such as being too friendly with other crewmembers or making a foolish comment and drawing unwanted negative attention{{book ref|mb1|16}}. This abuse had a profound effect on Vin's ability to trust, but was successful in instilling the lessons he believed she needed to learn to survive and work the thieving crews in [[Luthadel]] until he apparently deserted her.{{book ref|mb1|1}}{{book ref|mb1|3}} Vin later discovers that Reen never betrayed her. Despite being captured by Inquisitors and tortured, Reen never gave her up, swearing that she had died even while he was being tortured.{{book ref|mb1|37}}

Kelsier reveals that he chose House Renoux and the Valette cover in part because of their status as weapons merchants, making them valuable to various houses and drawing the nobles that the rebellion needs to focus on to them.{{book ref|mb1|12}} Vin attends her first ball at [[Keep Venture]] to establish her identity within Luthadel, and she attracts the attentions of several young men, declining their offers to dance on account of her inexperience.{{book ref|mb1|12}} She recognises her father and meets Elend Venture, the heir to [[House Venture]], although she only learns who Elend really is after the fact when speaking with Sazed.{{book ref|mb1|12}}
