Following his death at the hands of the Lord Ruler, Kelsier meets [[Preservation]] before he "passes on" to the Beyond. Kelsier refuses, and he remains on Scadrial as a cognitive aspect. Despite refusing to pass on, as Preservation wishes, Kelsier befriends Preservation, giving him the nickname of [[Preservation|Fuzz]] (a crewmember name).
 
Desperate to prevent himself passing on, Kelsier tricks into Preservation into revealing that the Well of Ascension is nearby, and is capable of anchoring him as a [[Cognitive Shadow]]. Kelsier finds but becomes trapped in the [[Well of Ascension]]. During his time there, he unknowingly discovers [[Ruin]] trapped beneath the Well. Though trapped, he is able to glimpse snapshots of the [[Physical Realm]] by riding the Well's pulses. Through these, he learns of [[Marsh]]'s survival as a [[Steel Inquisitor]] and that [[Elend]] has become the new ruler of the [[Final Empire]] Since Preservation is unable to help him in his investigations, Kelsier sets out to discover Ruin's motives for himself. When he uncovers Ruin's plans to destroy the world, Kelsier does everything he can to stop him and finds that the only way that he can prevent Ruin's escape is to ensure that [[Vin]] takes the power at the Well. He also discovers that Preservation is dying as a result of Ruin's efforts.
 
During this time, [[Hoid]] arrives at the Well through the [[Cognitive Realm]]. Kelsier does not recognise Hoid from their prior meeting without his disguise, but is instantly distrustful towards Hoid. Although he engages him in a fistfight, Kelsier is unable to prevent Hoid from transitioning to the Physical Realm and helplessly watches Hoid consume a bead of [[Lerasium]] and exit the Well's chamber.
