Breeze's age is never explicitly stated, but can be estimated. He claims that "[[Allrianne]] is half his age"{{book ref|mb2|36}} and that he has spent 30 years in the underground.{{book ref|mb2|46}} This implies a birth date between {{date|980|fe}} (assuming he joined the underground at the age of 14) and {{date|988|fe}} (a literal double of Allrianne's age). As a full blooded nobleman{{wob ref|2355}}{{book ref|mb2|23}}{{book ref|mb5|19}}, it is fairly safe to assume he did not join the underground before the age of 10 and that 30 years in the underground can mean no less than 26 years, even if he is rounding by decades rather than the more usual 5 years. This puts the very latest date at {{date|988|fe}}, but it is probably more around {{date|984|fe}}. However, during the [[Siege of Luthadel]] Vin notes that Breeze's hair is not turning gray despite him being in his mid-forties.{{book ref|mb2|11}}

In the crew, Breeze was often used by Kelsier to interact with nobles, and he had several aliases among the different noble families.{{book ref|mb1|6}} During the overthrow of the [[Final Empire]], he operated with a team of Soothers and Rioters to recruit skaa for their army.{{book ref|mb1|10}} During one of the meetings he taught Vin how to use zinc and brass. After the rebellion when Elend became king, Breeze helped him write his speeches, as he was very skilled with persuasion even without using his Soothing. At some point he left to spy on [[Ashweather Cett|Cett]]. He began a relationship with [[Allrianne Cett]] while he was in the service of Lord Cett. When Cett attempted to invade [[Luthadel]], he reunited with the crew. He tried to deny Allrianne because of the huge age difference between them, but was brought into close contact when she arrived begging for protection.{{book ref|mb2|21}} It was later discovered that she was a [[zinc|Rioter]], and had been Rioting Breeze's emotions.{{book ref|mb2|36}}. It is unclear how much of his affection for her is due to genuine attraction for her and how much is due to this riotingRioting, but she considers her conquest of Breeze one of her proudest accomplishments.{{book ref|mb2|50}} Breeze often Soothed members of the crew to make them more confident, although he did not want anybody to know about this because he would lose his reputation for being uncaring.{{book ref|mb2|20}}

=== The SeigeSiege of Urteau ===

Breeze met Allrianne during his time in the Western Dominace at [[Fadrex City]] and in [[Ashweather Cett]]'s army. Allrianne cares deeply for Breeze, and goes as far as to abandon her fathers army encampment, to seek asylum from EmporerEmperor Elend to be near Breeze.{{book ref|mb2|21}} Allrianne uses her Rioting as regularly and effortlessly as Breeze uses his Soothing. So much in fact, that Breeze initially kept Allrianne at arms length because he couldn't tell whether or not she was manipulating his emotions to make him fall in love with her. Breeze feels guilty for his affection for Allrianne, and considers himself a "Dirty old man" for his relationship with her.
