== History ==▼
=== Childhood ===
Named '''Jedal''' after [[Jedal|his father]], Spook was born and raised in the Eastern Lands, wastelands of grit and sand.{{book ref|mb3|23}} His mother, [[Margel]], allowed him to run around with some of the street gangs, from whom he learned [[High Imperial|Eastern street slang]].
At age five, Spook [[Snapping|Snapped]] into a [[Tineye]];{{book ref|mb1|32}} he got his [[noble]] blood from his grandfather, who he never knew.{{book ref|mb3|53}} After his family found out about his [[Allomancy]], [[Jedal|his father]] tried to kill him so that the [[Steel Ministry]] wouldn't kill the family for having noble blood. Margel, however, had known about Spook's Allomancy for some time, and had sent word to her brother [[Cladent]], who knew having another Tineye would be useful. He arrived before Jedal could kill Spook and took traded coins in return for Spook, promising to take the young boy back to [[Luthadel]]. When Cladent asked for his name, Spook decided he no longer wanted to go by the same name as his father, and told him it was '''Lestibournes''', an Eastern street slang contraction of "lefting I'm born," which means "I've been abandoned."{{book ref|mb3|23}}
▲One year later, he was much more confident. He had grown out of using his street cant, just as he’d managed to grow out of most of his clothing. Well over six feet tall, the sixteen-year-old young man hardly resembled the gangly boy of a year before. He wore a beard as disguise.{{book ref|mb2|6}}
=== Kelsier's Crew ===
▲It is around this time that he starts to show his like for women, almost any type. He doesn’t get much response, but he likes to flirt a lot.{{book ref|mb2|25}}
During his time on [[Kelsier's crew]], Spook is mainly involved as a sentry with important watches, watching the area around Clubs' shop from a six-story tenement two streets over.{{book ref|mb1|32}} He participates in the crew's planning sessions, but rarely contributes to them other than serving drinks or getting things.{{book ref|mb1|32}}
▲His confidence is however not constant, and he has a feeling of inferiority, of being invisible, dismissible and ignored. {{book ref|mb1|49}} After Club’s death he adds to this a sense of guilt for leaving he crew and trying to escape Luthadel taking Vin and Elend. The greatest consequence was for him to keep burning tin for a year and sensing it all. He had a huge desire to feel useful and being recognized for it.{{book ref|mb2|14}}
▲== History ==
After the crew thought [[Marsh]] had been captured by the Ministry, they sent Spook with the [[House Renoux]] canal procession that left Luthadel, as he was their best Tineye.{{book ref|mb1|33}} The [[Steel Inquisitor]]s, however, had just tracked [[Vin]] to her Valette Renoux alias, and attacked the caravan to try to find her. When they didn't find her in the convoy, the brought Spook, [[OreSeur]], and the Renoux servants back to Luthadel, ostensibly to be executed, by actually as a trap for [[Kelsier]].{{wob ref|2437}} Kelsier fell right into the trap and attacked the prision cart guards as they passed by. With help from [[Hammond]], some skaa rebels, and the rest of the crew, he managed to rescue Spook and the rest of the prisoners, before being killed by the [[Lord Ruler]].{{book ref|mb1|33}}{{book ref|mb1|34}} After that, during the [[Collapse]], [[Dockson]] sent him to fetch some of Clubs' apprentices to run messages.{{book ref|mb1|35}}
=== Siege of Luthadel ===
=== Urteau ===
The city is ready for a revolt, Quellion is about to do a hate speech against Spook. The latter killed the Citizen’s guards and fought him, looking for him to shoot coins and prove himself an Allomancer to complete the city’s hatred. Beldre gets there and shoots Spook to save her brother. The City riots as they understand what she is and that their ruler had killed their noble blood family but not his sister. Spook feels betrayed and Kelsier’s voice pushes him to kill her and use her spike to get her power. The hate speech from Kelsier and the spike information helps him understand it was the spike at the first fire that had caused all this. Looking at Quellion he correctly guessed he was being affected too. He takes out Quellions spike firs and then his. He loses Pewter and is almost out of breath. He sees the city in flames but is looking forward to the water to flood the city. Beldre confirms she had killed the soldiers to escape and there is no one to flood the city. They go back along with Sazed and find the building in flames, they are about to return defeated when he heard Kelsier’s real voice, who said he had chosen him as his friend. Spook goes into the burning building and he has no more strength, he just throws his weight to the machine and collapses.{{book ref|mb3|58}}
After Spook saves the city from destruction, in the middle of him waking up, he is given a message to send to Vin by Kelsier stating “Don’t trust anyone pierced by metal. Spook’s letter. Even the smallest bit can taint a man.” [[Goradel ]] offers to take it, it was written on a metal sheet.{{book ref
=== The Final Ascension ===
After the [[Final Ascension]], goes into the
Spook was referred to as the '''Lord Mistborn'''. It is not clear what his role in that early government is, but he is clearly very prominent and powerful, judging by the fact that his Eastern street slang becomes known as [[High Imperial]]. He is also known to have engaged in philosophy and appears to be somewhat aware of the inner workings of the Shards, and is noted for begging the question, "Having the has Sazed a metal?"{{file ref
He is visited at some point by the cognitive shadow of [[Kelsier]], who says they should work together to unravel the mysteries of the [[
[[Steris]] implies that Spook ruled as an emperor for a century before stepping down from power.{{book ref|bom|5}} [[Marasi]] later refers to him as a "governor" who ruled for a century.{{book ref|bom|6}}

Spook's grandfather had noble blood;{{book ref|mb3|53}} it is likely this was his maternal grandfather as [[Cladent|his mother's brother]] was also an [[Allomancer]]. As a result, Spook is a [[Tineye]]. He is the best one on Kelsier's crew, and so usually gets the most important watches.{{book ref|mb1|32}} After Clubs' death, he begins constantly flaring his tin because he thinks it will make him more useful, turning himself into a tin [[savant]]. 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. However, it also leaves him very vulnerable to sudden and strong stimuli, and he often keeps his ears partially plugged and his eyes covered.{{book ref|mb3|16}}
While working in Urteau, Spook gets stabbed with a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike that turns him into a [[Pewterarm]].{{book ref|mb3|16}}{{book ref|mb3|26}} He later rips the spike out after realizing it leaves him open to [[Ruin]]'s influence.{{book ref|mb3|58}}
During the Final Ascension, [[Kelsier]] convinces [[Sazed]] to turn Spook into a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]],{{msh ref|6|9}} though Sazed only makes him a regular-strength Mistborn, not a [[lerasium]]-empowered one.{{wob ref|5265}} After that [[Catacendre]], Kelsier's [[Cognitive Shadow]] visits him and convinces him to start studying [[Hemalurgy]].{{msh ref|epilogue}}
