Kelsier uses Vin to infiltrate the parties of the noblemen, gaining information and spreading disorder. She is originally terrified of these parties, but eventually succeeds in becoming skilled at manipulating people. She meets Elend Venture, a nobleman/scholar, who also opposes the Lord Ruler.
== Main Characters ==
;[[Vin]]: Mistborn, discovered by Marsh and Kelsier. She was trained by Kelsier as a Mistborn, and becomes incredibly skilled at using all 10 metals. She is notable for having an exceptionally strong ability to burn
;[[Kelsier]]: Kelsier is a Mistborn who is skilled at theft and conning. He is a visionary who plans the seemingly impossible, his plans often succeeding. He was sent to work in the Pits of Hathsin, which are a mine for atium where the most dangerous criminals are sent to mine for the rest of their lives. He is the only known survivor of the pits of Hathsin, giving him the name 'Survivor'. He has long horizontal scars on his wrists from digging in the pits. He gathered a group of [[Misting]]s with a variety of skills intent on stealing the [[Lord Ruler]]'s cache of [[Atium]]. He also planned on leading the [[skaa]] in revolt against the Lord Ruler.

;[[Elend Venture]]: Son of [[Straff Venture]], a nobleman with high ideals intent on a new form of democratic government.

;[[Sazed]]: Kelsier's [[Terrisman]] steward, and also a [[Feruchemist]], played a crucial part in the downfall of the Final Empire. He specialized in religions and mythology, and he would preach a different one to the crew members at every opportunity. He contains all this detailed information in his copperminds. Because he is a terrisman steward, he is a eunuch, and submissive by nature although apparently he is considered a rebel among other terrismen.
;[[Hammond]]: A [[pewter|Pewterarm]]
;[[Clubs]]: The [[copper|Smoker]] of Kelsier's crew, able to burn [[copper]] to hide Allomancers around him. The crew uses his shop as a secret base of operations in Luthadel. He is usually grim and pessimistic.

== Setting ==
=== Magic ===
;[[Allomancy]]: Allomancy is one of the three [[Metallic Arts]] on [[Scadrial]]. At the time of the events of Mistborn: The Final Empire, only eight basic allomantic metals are known, with [[
;[[Feruchemy]]: Feruchemy is a Metallic art used by Sazed, and other Terris Keepers. It uses the same metals as Allomancy to store physical and mental attributes for later use. You can only draw from your metalminds as much as you put in previously. While you are storing an attribute for later use, you have less of that attribute at that current time. For example, when you are storing speed, you will move incredibly slowly.
;[[Hemalurgy]]: Hemalurgy is the final of the three Metallic Arts. Very little is known about Hemalurgy during the time of Mistborn: The Final Empire, due to the restrictions on knowledge set in place by the Lord Ruler. It is used by the Inquisitors, and has to do with the many spikes driven through their bodies.
