'''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 the CitizenQuellion.{{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}}
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Both Quellion and his sister [[Beldre]] were half-skaa.This is due to the fact that their noble father had married a noble woman who was barren.As she could not conceive children of her own she instead agreed that Quellions father could father his children with a [[Skaa]] maidservant.This was discovered by [[Obligator|Obligators]] 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}}▼
Quellion has a [[bronze]] [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike in his upper arm until [[Spook]] removes it.{{book ref|mb3|58}}{{book ref|mb3|70}} Via this piercing, [[Ruin]] appears to Quellion in the image of [[Kelsier]]. Although not originally an [[allomancerAllomancer]], the spike gave him the powers of a seeker[[Seeker]], which then allowed him to easily find the allomancersAllomancers in the population of [[Urteau]] and force them into working for him.{{book ref|mb3|70}}▼
 
== History ==
While holding power in [[Urteau]], he would take the families of allomancers as hostages and keep them as leverage, thus forcing them to work for him as his soldiers by threatening their families, although this was kept highly confidential.He would organise his public executions to take place in noble houses which had secret escape routes, so that the chosen allomancers could escape the fire and join his ranks.{{book ref|mb3|41}} ▼

He had genealogists catalog everyone's ancestry. Those who have pure [[skaa]] blood five generations back are allowed to serve in his government, while others were barred from office. While he had his scribes check the lineage of everyone five generations back, he only killed those who had noble blood two generations back or later, which was leading to a divide in the skaa population.{{book ref|mb3|26}}
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 makesmade it a law that as all men are equal they must all wear the same drab grey clothing.

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}}
His sister, [[Beldre]], is a [[Coinshot]].{{book ref|mb3|58}}
 
Quellion’s government didn’t last. Quellion was overthrown in the [[Coup of Urteau]] by Spook, [[Sazed]], [[Breeze]], and [[Allrianne Cett]] 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 Quellion’s spike and his own. The Survivor’s Crew claimed Urteau and its supply cache just before the final confrontation with Ruin.
 
Quellion survived the final confrontation with Ruin by taking shelter in Urteau's supply cache.{{cite}}
