History
Before Visiting the Skaa Rebellion
Yeden contracted Kelsier's crew to provide an army to capture Luthadel, overthrow The Final Empire, and capture The Lord Ruler. He was accepted into Kelsier's crew. Yeden did not like Kelsier's crew, and only worked with them because of their reputation. [5]
“You're selfish, undisciplined, and you've turned your backs on the rest of the skaa. You dress nicely, but on the inside, you're as dirty as ash.”
—Yeden to Breeze[5]
At the Arguois caverns
Yeden began to get excited, and was impressed with Kelsier's work for the rebellion. He temporarily became a commander and took control over the rebellion's army of skaa from Ham.[6] After Kelsier's display with Demoux, Yeden ended up deciding that Kelsier was able to grant his powers to others, and that their army cannot possibly lose.[6]
After the Caverns
Breeze was going to be sent to replace Yeden for a few months, but Yeden had already taken control of the army to gain some experience.[9] [1] Yeden instructed the Skaa rebellion to attack the nearby Holstep Garrison in the Central Dominance, which the Skaa rebellion defeated in a night raid. On the Rebellion's way back to the Caverns, about an hour away from Holstep, they were attacked by the Valtroux Garrison of 5000 soldiers. Yeden and 5000 members of the Rebellion's skaa army died there. Yeden's head was found on a spear beside the road.[1]
