Dockson is a member of Kelsier's crew on Scadrial. He performs as Kelsier's right-hand man and the two have been friends for a long time, working together to topple The Lord Ruler. Dockson is the only non-Allomancer amongst the crew.

Appearance and Personality

Dockson has a squarish face, which Kelsier observes is well-suited to his moderately stocky build. He has black hair and sports a short half-beard, the Scadrian term for a goatee. Since he "first put forth whiskers some twenty years before," we can assume Dockson is middle-aged by the events of Mistborn. He often wears clothing of noble origin. Both Sazed and Vin feel noble suits fit him better than the others in the crew.

Dockson is responsible for keeping the crew operational, demonstrating aptitude for organization and administration. Most often he tries to direct Kelsier and the others but allows himself to joke with the other members from time to time. He is quite diligent in his duties to ensure the crew has everything they need to remain functioning and is sometimes quite stern.

After Kelsier's death, however, his mirth vanishes. He regrets the way he's become. He feels he is a man who has gotten what he wanted, but realizes he shouldn't have desired it so badly. Despite this, his role as administrator never falters.

At least prior to Kelsier being sent to the Pits of Hathsin, Dockson was into brawling.

History

In his early life, Dockson was a plantation skaa under Lord Devinshae. It was a hard life, but he ate more regularly than a street skaa. Amongst plantation lords, Devinshae was rather lenient, which meant he "rarely" beat his skaa to death. Dockson started to sneak between hovels to spend time with his girlfriend, Kareien. The other skaa played along, hiding them from the taskmasters, because their romance inspired them. But one day, Lord Devinshae took Kareien to his house and raped her, returning her body in the next morning. The following evening, Dockson escaped from the plantation. He later met Kelsier and they started to steal from nobles, eventually becoming the most infamous crewleaders in Luthadel, even having no powers.

Dockson met his death with a sword in hand during the Battle of Luthadel. Seeing his impending end, he offered himself a little redemption and remarked that had things been different -- had they turned on the nobility as he had wanted to in the Collapse -- then he and others would have been no better than beasts. He believed that they had done the right thing after all.

Relationships

Elend Venture

Dockson does not get along with Elend Venture since he thinks Kelsier wouldn't approve of Elend ruling, and his own conscious desire to distance himself from a truth about himself: admitting to himself that Elend feels guilty for the acts of the nobility would mean Dox has to confront his own atrocities towards the nobility.

Hammond

Dockson has a rivalry with Hammond; that is why they spend so little time conversing in the books. They tend to get on each other's nerves in their brief interactions when they're either formulating a plan or arguing. However, when they have a goal to work toward, they can keep going.
