===Failed Engagement to Elend===
Shan became engaged to [[Elend Venture]] around {{date|1021|fe}}.{{book ref|mb1|18}} It was presumably a political engagement between the two houses, as no movement was made towards a marriage for a year.{{book ref|mb1|18}} Although they technically never broke off the engagement, Shan became known as Elend's "former fiancée".{{book ref|mb1|19}}{{book ref|mb1|20}} Elend was flippant about the situation, but Shan seemed to hold some personal bitterness about the fact that he did not seem to care about marrying her.{{book ref|mb1|23}}{{book ref|mb1|28}}

Shan's plans soon took a darker turn; Vin learned from [[Kliss]] that Shan planned to have Elend assassinated in his quarters after a ball at [[Keep Venture]].{{book ref|mb1|30}} Kliss's scuttlebutt indicated that Shan had confirmed that Elend was reading forbidden books and hoped to damage House Venture's reputation by revealing this fact to the [[Steel Ministry]]. Meanwhile, [[Straff Venture]] was said to be complicit in the plot, as he saw it as a chance to eliminate his "unworthy" heir alongside two young noblemen from rival houses who would be meeting with Elend—[[Jastes Lekal]] and [[Telden Hasting]].{{book ref|mb1|30}} Vin immediately left to try and save Elend and found Shan, who was revealed to be a full Mistborn.{{book ref|mb1|30}} Shan was accompanied by another Mistborn and several other Allomancers who served House Elariel.{{book ref|mb1|30}} Vin was able to find them immediately by piercing Shan's [[
Shan was shocked when she recognized "Valette"; a fight commenced, and Vin was able to take on the entire group of Elariel Allomancers. Eventually, Vin and Shan fought one-on-one, and Shan exhibited a surprising level of skill with both Allomancy and glass daggers.{{book ref|mb1|30}} Both Shan and Vin used [[atium]] during the fight, but Shan had a larger supply, giving her an advantage.{{book ref|mb1|30}} However, Shan was tricked into believing that Vin's atium had run out; she was hit in the chest by an arrow in her confusion when Vin burned the last bit of her reserves. Vin broke off the shaft of the arrow and stabbed Shan in the heart with it, killing her.{{book ref|mb1|30}}
