Spook (Mistborn)

Summary
Spook also known as Jedal, Lestibournes, and later The Lord Mistborn was a member of Kelsier's crew and worked for Elend Venture after the Collapse. After the Catacendre, he served as the leader of Elendel until he stepped down around 100 PC, and disappeared.

History
He was born in the year 1007, to a Half-Skaa woman named Margel, and a Skaa man named Jedal, from whom he got his name.

He spent much of his life on the street in the Eastern Dominance, where he spent much of his time amongst the street gangs. In 1012, at the age of five, he Snapped and awoke to his abilities as a Tineye, and his father tried to kill him to hide the noble lineage of their family from the Steel Ministry as to not be slain for being "half-breeds". He would however would be saved by his uncle, Cladent, who traded him for money. After trading with his father, he asked him what his name was, and, having almost been killed by the man, decided he no longer wanted to share a name with his father, so gave the name Lestibournes, an Eastern street slang contraction of "lefting I'm born," which translates to "I've been abandoned." Following this, Cladent took him to Luthadel.

He would later join Kelsier's Crew alongside his uncle, and it would change his entire life as he assisted in the defeat of the Lord Ruler, and he would later be manipulated into thinking he was his killer. After this, he came to work with Elend Venture.

After the release of Ruin in 1024, and Elend's attempts to go around the world and bring cities under his control in 1025, he was sent to act as a spy in Urteau. During which he would constantly flare Tin, partially in an act of penance for the death of Cladent, and this flaring eventually led to his metamorphosis into a Tin Savant. He also, during an attack, Spook was stabbed with a sword that also pierced a pewterarm, the tip broke off inside of him, acting as a hemalurgic spike and making him into a Pewterarm, and opening him up to the words and influence of Ruin and  Kelsier; the pain of this also made him immediately fall unconscious.

After the Catacendre he became known as the Lord Mistborn and became the legendary ruler of the Elendel Basin. At some point he theorized about Harmony having a God Metal, a theory which would be taken into consideration and studied into over the next few centuries.

He suddenly stepped down around 100 PC, after around a century of rule over the city. Following this, he was never heard from again.

Appearance
As he aged he hit a growth spurt and became far taller and more muscular, growing over six feet tall, and starting to grow facial hair; barely resembling the small and gangly boy that he was before.

After becoming a Tin Savant, he began wearing a very tightly bound blindfold around his eyes, in order to help block out most of the light and back it less painful and overstimulating for him.

Personality
He was originally a very shy boy with very little confidence in himself, and constantly seeing himself as invisible and useless.

After the Collapse he began to become far more confident and stopped using his Street Slang as often, he also became rather flirtatious and open about his like of woman of many types. While his confidence may have grown tremendously, it still did fluctuate. He still has the feeling of being ignored and invisible, and has a strong desire to be recognized and to be useful to his friends.

He feels extreme guilt for Club's death, feeling responsible for it due to how he died when Spook fled the city. This is a large part of what led to him flaring Tin so often, despite knowing the risks in flaring too often, and in the pain that it gave him.

Vin Venture
He briefly was romantically interested in Vin, and even gave her a pink hankerchief as the traditional gift a young man gives a lady that he wishes to seriously court, although she turned him down. Following this, he was rather uncomfortable around her until they had a conversation and she confessed she would always love Elend, he was accepting of this and it helped to restore their relationship to its previous state.

Vin is fond of him, although she considered strange and young. She does not have, and never had, romantic feelings for him, despite what he felt towards her.

They get along rather well.

Tineye = During this moment in time, he was only capable of burning Tin.

Physically speaking, he was quite small and weak. Not very capable of combat.

Tineye
As a Tineye he is able to burn Tin in order to enhance his senses beyond what is humanly possible.

While they are capable of seeing in low-light conditions, they cannot see in complete darkness.

This is the slowest burning of the Allomantic Metals. And it is relatively cheap, allowing him access to large supplies of it.

Savant = During the events of Hero of Ages he burned and flared Tin for a very long period of time, leading to fundamental changes in his body and soul, making him into a Savant.

Along with this, he was stabbed by a Hemalurgic Spike during a battle, gaining the power of a Pewterarm.

Savantism
During his time in Urtaeu he became a Savant in Tin Allomancy, his senses becoming so sensitive to light and sound that he had to wear a blindfold and stuff his ears with wax; otherwise he would be faced with intense pain from the overstimulation. It is described as making starlight as bright as the sun and footsteps as loud as thunderclaps, or to make sunlight cause a burning sensation. Or could feel each individual thread of his clothing, or feel every pebble as if it was the strike of knives

But as a result of this, he can feel disturbances in the air, sense tremors in the floor, and could know where people were simply by how close their heartbeats sounded. His sense of physical sensation, and thus of pain as well, was greatly enhanced alongside his other senses. As mentioned previously, even the feeling of pebbles through his shoes felt like daggers stabbing into his flesh. His pain is so intense as to make being stabbed by a sword instantly make him fall unconscious from the agony.

As noted above, this was both a blessing and a curse, giving him incredibly potent abilities as a Tineye, but also leaving him dependent upon Tin and crippling him with constant overstimulation.

This caused permanent changes in his physiology and left him fundamentally changed, and had his status as being a human called to question. Thus his senses are permanently enhanced past what anyone could attain, and the Mists became diaphanous and weak, allowing him to easily see through them as if they weren't there.

After the Catacendre he was cured of his Savantism by Sazed.

Calculation of Senses
To apply physics to his hearing, in order to exactly quantify it and make further predictions. This does not necessarily perfectly display his senses, due to it being fiction and not necessarily having the calculations all correct. This is simply a way to attempt to quantify it. This is also all assuming perfect conditions, and in reality it would be bound to lower distances due to how sound gets further lessened not only by the Inverse Square Law, but also by surrounding noise, and passing through other mediums.

For the lower end of what he can hear, assuming that the beating of an average heart has a dB value of 20 µPa or 0.00002 dB, and assume a distance of 5 metres to get a hearing threshold of -34.9, this is 0.001x below the human hearing threshold. However, he likely has an ability to hear it much farther then 5 metres, so therefore assuming a maximum of twenty metres, he can hear to -46.9, between 0.0001x and 0.00001x below the human hearing threshold.

As an estimate of the degree of enhancement he experiences, one can assume that footsteps are on average around 55 dB on the high end, and assuming thunder is around 120 dB, one can calculate he experiences a sound amplification of 106.5 or approximately 3,162,277. This would make thunder sound as if it were 185 decibels. Around 20x louder than the eruption of Krakatoa at 100 metres. Assuming a lower end of around 10 dB, comparing it to whispers, it would place the degree of magnification at around 1011 or 100,000,000,000x, making thunder sound like it is 230 dB.

Assuming this same ratios, heartbeats at 5 metres should sound as if they were 30.1 Decibels, and 18.1 at 20 metres at minimum. Or assuming the ratio of the lower end, it would make heartbeats sound as if they are 75.1 dB at 5 metres, and 63.1 at 20 metres. He should be capable of hearing them up to 2857.7875 metres given perfect conditions.

Pewterarm
He was stabbed with a Hemalurgic Spike Invested with the power of a Pewterarm, giving him the ability to burn Pewter. When burned gives increased physical strength, speed, durability, balance, reflexes and enhanced ability to heal. This Metal burns at a very fast rate.

An Allomancer can opt to flare Pewter for an extended period of time in a process known as Pewter Dragging, through this a Thug can achieve incredible things, such as running at roughly the speed of a galloping horse for extended periods. However this is very dangerous for after one stops, they are hit with an intense amount of fatigue and pain which can remain for weeks afterwards, as shown with Vin still having a headache even fifteen days after Pewter Dragging

Due to the nature of Hemalurgy, this let him open to Ruin's Influence, making him hear the voice of Ruin and be easily manipulated by him. Later, after finding this out, led him to tear it out of himself later.



Lord Mistborn =

Mistborn
After the Catacendre he was given the powers of a Mistborn, allowing him to burn all Allomantic Metals. Although he was made into a weaker Mistborn, not a Lerasium-Powered one.

His exact level of skill in any given metal, barring Tin, is unknown. However, he has had around a century worth of experience in being a Mistborn, and likely practiced often with his powers.

Due to the destruction of the Pits of Hathsin and the death of Ati, along with the already extremely limited supplies of Lerasium, he has access to neither Atium or Lerasium.

He was cured of his Savantism, leaving his Tin Allomancy far less potent.

For a more complete explanation of the metals, please look at Metallic Arts

Steel
Pushes on nearby metals and forms lines of light which connect to all metals.

If one pushes on an object heavier than themselves, they would be pushed away, and if it is lighter than themselves, it would be pushed away.

Iron
Pulls on nearby metals and forms lines of light which connect to all metals.

If one pulls on an object heavier than themselves, they would be pulled towards it, and if it is lighter than themselves, it would be pulled towards them.

Pewter
Pewter causes a great increase in strength when burned, this also brings about an increased rate of healing.

Tin
Tin causes a great increase in ones senses when burned.

Zinc
Zinc allows one to magnify certain emotions in their target, this is not able to make them feel anything they didn't before. It simply magnifies what is already there.

Brass

Bronze
Bronze allows one to hear the Allomantic Pulses created by the use of Allomancy, this allows them to detect the use of Allomancy and where it is being used through the direction of the pulse. Every metal has different frequencies and pulses, and a skilled practitioner can differentiate between them.

Duralumin
Duralumin, when burned, causes the next metal one burns to have its effect greatly magnified.

Aluminium
Aluminium, when burned, causes all metals to instantly burn away without any effect.

'Nicrosil
Nicrosil, when burned, causes the next metal the target burns to have its effect greatly magnified.

Chromium
Chromium, when burned, causes all of the target's metals to instantly burn away without any effect.

Gold
Gold makes one see a hallucination of who the user could have been.

Electrum
Electrum makes ones near future manifest as a misty shadow extending in front of them. This allows them to predict the future through their own future reactions.

Cadmium
Cadmium creates a bubble of space where time moves slower, the world outside mores far faster in comparison.

Bendalloy
Bendalloy creates a bubble of space where time moves faster, the world outside mores far slower in comparison.

Hemalurgy
Under the convincing of Kelsier's Cognitive Shadow, he began to do research into the art of Hemalurgy. , and he wrote a book upon the art. Therefore, he held a great degree of knowledge on the art of Hemalurgy.

Leadership
He served as the leader of the Elendel Basin for a century, suggesting that he developed a great degree of political and economic knowledge, and aptitude in leading mankind and helping them rebuild after the great death and destruction that came with the apocalypse before the Catacendre.

Weakness: He is physically quite weak | As a Tin Savant his senses are so powerful that it is overwhelming and painful to him, forcing him to wear a blindfold and stuff his ears with cotton in order to prevent overstimulation, and, due to his Hemalurgic Spike, he is also highly susceptible to Ruin's influence and manipulation. Due to this, he is quite unstable and is falling prey to madness, and his memories are manipulated to the point he began to believe that he was the one who killed the Lord Ruler. | None Notable
