=== Preservation ===
Kelsier held Preservation for a short time but wascould badnot atproperly usinguse it because heof washis recent rebirth as a Cognitive Shadow atand thehis time andgoals did not match well with Preservation's Intent.{{msh ref|6|4}}
 
=== Hemalurgy ===
The "Survivor's Statemark" is one of the symbols of the faith. When [[Bleeder]] killed [[Father Bin]] by nailing him to a wall, it is described as a parody of the Survivor's Statemark,{{book ref|mb5|12}} implying that the Statemark depicts the way Kelsier died, impaled by a spear.
 
Aside from the Survivorists, there was also a whole civilization of people that worshiped Kelsier far to to the south of Elendel, calling him the '''Sovereign'''. Kelsier had traveled there several years after the [[Catacendre]], inhabiting a physical body that was spiked in the right eye, and found the [[Southern Scadrian]]s slowly dying of an unexplained coldness. He helped the people there survive using his knowledge of the Metallic Arts, showing them how to make [[Feruchemy#Unsealed_Metalminds|unsealed metalminds]] to store attributes like heat in a way that could be shared with anyone. As the Sovereign, Kelsier ruled the Southern Scadrians for a time and formed another religion that deified [[Metalborn]], and then he left.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
 
Before leaving them, he created the [[Bands of Mourning]], a collection of unsealed metalminds forged together and containing all kinds of attributes in extremely large quantities. He hid the artifact away somewhere in the north and then disappeared.{{book ref|mb6|21}}
* Despite what he has told the Ghostbloods, Kelsier does not have a real avatar. Uncanonically, Brandon imagines Kelsier as using a Seon in a trench coat as his 'avatar'.{{wob ref|14641}}
* Kelsier considers guns to be inelegant weapons.{{wob ref|15238}}
* If he were a Radiant, there are three Orders Kelsier might belong to: [[Order_of_Edgedancers|Edgedancer]], [[Dustbringer]], or [[Willshaper]]. The reason he would fit well as an Edgedancer is mainly because of what he picked up from Mare regarding restoring the world to the time of flowers and greenery. Dustbringer also fits because of the theme of self mastery and pushing himself. Willshaper is high on the list as well.{{wob ref|15679}}
* If he were a Returned, his name would likely be Lifeseeker, or something along those lines.{{wob ref|14997}}
