'''Quellion''' is a [[skaa]] from [[Urteau]] on [[Scadrial]].
Also known as the '''Citizen''', Quellion is in charge of [[Urteau]] after the death of the [[Lord Ruler]]. [[Spook]] is sent by [[Elend Venture]] and [[Vin]] to gain intelligence on Quellion.{{book ref|mb3|14}} As a government officer in the city of Urteau, he wears red-dyed skaa trousers and work shirts.{{book ref|mb3|16}}

== History ==
Both Quellion and his sister [[Beldre]] were half-skaa. This is due to the fact that their noble father had married a noblewoman who was barren. As she could not conceive children of her own she instead agreed that Quellion's father could father his children with a [[skaa]] maidservant. This was discovered by [[Obligator]]s around the same time that the [[Lord Ruler]] was killed by [[Vin]] and due to the chaos surrounding the event, the two half-skaa managed to slip away from their execution.{{book ref|mb3|53}}
After escaping, Quellion built a coalition of
Quellion wasn't just searching for skaa with noble blood in order to kill them, however. He was looking for Allomancers. He would find Allomancers, take their families as hostages and keep them as leverage, forcing the Mistings to work as his soldiers by threatening their families. Although, this was kept highly confidential. He would organize his public executions to take place in noble houses that had secret escape routes so that the chosen Allomancers could escape the fire and join his ranks.{{book ref|mb3|41}}
Due to the economic collapse surrounding his ascent to power, Quellion had a new coin minted, to be worth only a fraction of a clip and be called a "pek".{{book ref|mb3|26}}
The Citizen's government notably disdained decoration and ornamentation. At first, he made it a law that as all men are equal they must all wear the same drab grey clothing. This was later changed so that government officials must wear red, as it will make them easily recognized and those in need will be able to quickly find them. As an official himself he thus also wore regular skaa work clothing which has been dyed red.{{book ref|mb3|16}} Later, he decided to approve blue solely for himself to wear and wore a costume which is dyed a deep blue, with the rest of his officials still wearing bright red.{{book ref|mb3|41}}
After an execution, Quellion saw [[Spook]], who had infiltrated Urteau, talking to his sister and ordered his soldiers to attack him. Spook fought back, but Beldre helped two of his Pewterarm soldiers to overwhelm him.{{book ref|mb3|16}} Quellion tried to execute Spook by locking him in a building and setting it on fire, but he escaped.{{book ref|mb3|19}}
Quellion’s government didn’t last. Quellion was overthrown in the [[Coup of Urteau]] by Spook, [[Sazed]], [[Breeze]], and [[Allrianne]] with the help of [[Durn]] and the skaa underground. In this confrontation, Spook led a riot against the Citizen and, despite interference from Ruin, he was able to pull out both Quellian’s spike and his own. The Survivor’s Crew claimed Urteau and its supply cache just before the Final confrontation with Ruin. ▼
