(Looking good :) I've changed the subheadings for history into Table of Contents headings so that they are listed in the ToC. It also makes them stand out a bit better than the ';' headings do amongst the text)

Yeden thinks members of the skaa underground are selfish and undisciplined, but he admits they're effective, and is willing to make use of their skills. He doesn't trust [[Kelsier's crew]], and when Kelsier lets Clubs go Yeden is worried he will bring [[obligator]]s upon them.{{book ref|mb1|4}} Yeden is skeptical of Kelsier's plan; he thinks the skaa will never rise up on the government, since the rebellion has been trying to do this for a thousand years without success.{{book ref|mb1|6}}
 
After a time, Yeden becomes more civil with the crew and trusts Kelsier more.{{book ref|mb1|17}} He starts to realize that the rebellion might actually have a chance of succeeding.{{book ref|mb1|21}} After Kelsier's demonstration with [[Bilg]] and [[Demoux]], Yeden starts to believe that the army was invencible, that it couldn't fail.{{book ref|mb1|21}}{{book ref|mb1|25}} He is an earnest man, though he lacks in presence.{{book ref|mb1|21}}

Yeden wasn't entirely sure that the Rebellion's plan to overthrow the empire would work, and often lost sight of what he was attempting would mean in relation to nobles and skaa.{{book ref|mb1|6}} There were multiple times that Yeden tested backing out, but was reassured by Kelsier that the plan would work, and that he would lose his investment if he gave up. Yeden was also familiar with Marsh from when Marsh worked with the Skaa Rebellion.{{book ref|mb1|2}}
Yeden grew more confident when recruition started to increase, but was still nervous about being caught by the Steel Ministry.{{book ref|mb1|10}}
