"Hero of Ages" redirects here. For the Mistborn (series) novel, see The Hero of Ages.

The Hero of Ages was a prophesied savior who would supposedly take the power of the Well of Ascension and use it to save the world. The Hero of Ages was also called Rabzeen and the Anamnesor. Kwaan originally thought that The Hero of Ages was Alendi from Khlennium. He later realized that Ruin had been tampering with the prophecies and that he was wrong about Alendi being the Hero. He sent his nephew Rashek to stop Alendi from reaching the Well of Ascension and if necessary to kill him.

After the Collapse of the Final Empire it was thought that Vin was the Hero. This assumption later turned out to be incorrect, as it was actually Sazed.
