Dockson has a squarish face, which Kelsier observes is well-suited to his moderately stocky build. He has black hair and sports a short half-beard, the Scadrian term for a goatee.{{wob ref|790}} Since he "first put forth whiskers some twenty years before," we can assume Dockson is middle-aged by the events of Mistborn. He often wears clothing of noble origin. Both Sazed and Vin feel noble suits fit him better than the others in the crew.{{book ref|mb1|2}}{{book ref|mb2|33}}
Dockson also has a rivalry with [[Ham]] and it is why they spend so little time conversing with each other in the books. They tend to get on each other's nerves in their brief interactions when they're either formulating a plan or arguing. Neither speak about it much but when they have a goal to work towards and stay focused they can keep going{{wob ref|5413}}.▼
After Kelsier's death, however, his mirth vanishes.{{book ref|mb2|33}} He regrets the way he's become. He feels he is a man who has gotten what he wanted, but realizes he shouldn't have desired it so badly.{{wob ref|5370}} Despite this, his role as administrator never falters.{{book ref|mb2|33}}
== History ==▼
▲== History ==
▲He is responsible for keeping the crew operational, demonstrating aptitude for organization and administration. Most often he tries to direct [[Kelsier]] and the others but allows himself to joke with the other members from time to time. He is quite diligent in his duties to ensure the crew has everything they need to remain functioning and is sometimes quite stern.
In his early life, Dockson was a plantation [[skaa]] under Lord [[Devinshae]]. It was a hard life, but he ate more regularly than a street skaa. Amongst plantation lords, Devinshae was rather lenient, which meant he "rarely" beat his skaa to death. Dockson started to sneak between hovels to spend time with his girlfriend, [[Kareien]]. The other skaa played along, hiding them from the taskmasters, because their romance inspired them. But one day, Lord Devinshae took Kareien to his house and raped her, returning her body in the next morning. The following evening, Dockson escaped from the plantation.{{book ref|mb1|22}} He later met [[Kelsier]] and they started to steal from nobles, eventually becoming the most infamous crewleaders in [[Luthadel]], even having no powers.{{book ref|mb1|5}}

After Kelsier's death, however, his mirth vanishes. Despite this, his role as administrator never falters. He does not get along with [[Elend]] since he thinks Kelsier wouldn't approve of Elend ruling, and his own conscious desire to distance himself from a truth about himself: admitting to himself that Elend feels guilty for the acts of the nobility would mean Dox has to confront his own atrocities towards the nobility.▼

▲Dockson meets his death with a sword in hand during the [[koloss]] invasion in [[The Well of Ascension]]. Seeing his impending end, he offers himself a little redemption and remarks that had things been different -- had they turned on the nobility as he had wanted to in [[The Final Empire]] -- then he and others would be no better than beasts. He believes that they had done the right thing after all.{{wob ref|5437}}{{book ref|mb2|53}}
