“Well then, I've got quite a number of philosophical puzzles you might enjoy. . . . ”
—Ham[1]
Hammond is a skaa misting on Scadrial. He is a member of Kelsier's crew who helped organize the rebellion's army of Skaa.[2]
Appearance and personality
Ham is humble, long-winded, and kindly. [3] He argues about the rightness of the fight they are in. He also shows attachment towards his crew and soldiers and wants to make sure there are greater plans for them. [4] Ham always seemed happy. [5] He works to give his family a better life and dreams of moving with them to a city where they can live like noblemen, a place where you can stop worrying and just live. [5] He has very short hair [6] and would wear his customary loose shirt and vest, both sleeveless; however, when acting as General Hammond, he would wear a uniform which he disliked using. [5] Ham likes philosophical debates. He questioned if going against the Lord Ruler was good or bad as overthrowing God is not in itself something good. [7] or like to talk about atium economics [8] It was due to his philosophy that he figured out that Skaa were made different from noble men. From the number of children to birth to physical differences like height. [4]
History
Ham grew up in the streets of Luthadel. Son of two skaa parents and a noble grandparent. [9]. When he grew up he ran general security for jobs, providing his crewleader with manpower and warriors, assuming such are necessary. [2]
He joined Kelsier on his Skaa rebellion working initially for Yeden, based on the promise of payment, including the Lord Ruler’s atium. His role was to train the Skaa army. [2] He did that on secure caves away from Luthadel becoming General Hammond. He would leave the crew for months to train and inspect them, [10] and made good progress with their skills. [4]
He was later replaced in the training camps by Yeden and sent back to Luthadel to work closer with Kelsier. [4]
He also trained Vin in using Pewter. Through doing this he gained a friendship with Vin, who accompanied him when travelling to meet the Garrison in Luthadel where they found that their army was exposed and they were marching to fight them.

Attributes and Abilities
Ham is a Thug.[2]. Thugs—or, Pewterarms, as the nobility prefer to call them—are the most sought-after Mistings. A competent Thug can stand against a half-dozen regular men, and he can lift more, endure more, and move faster than any other hired muscle. [5] The way Ham fought, he simply attacked with raw strength and speed, throwing enemy soldiers out of his way. [16] As a General he might have been a bit of an anarchist at heart, but he could be a very good leader if he was given a small team. Though his guards weren’t the most disciplined, polished soldiers, they were fiercely loyal. [27]
Relationships
Madra
Madra is Ham’s wife who he left behind until the death of the Lord Ruler, to protect her from his job. She is a seamstress who lives outside the city and tells people her husband works in the Garrison. He missed her as he only sees her a couple of months a year. [5] Together they have two children. [9]
Kelsier
Ham is very loyal to Kelsier, but is also worried about him and his ego. He along with Dox and Breeze try to restrain him when he goes overboard. {{book ref|mb1|24}. Kelsier on the other hand, considers Ham as prone to think about things that no sane man would consider. Still, he listened and the debate on if Skaa were made inferior was an idea Kelsier never forgot. [4]
Breeze
Ham and Breeze are good friends as well as colleagues. The warrior philosopher is a foil for Breeze. Since Breeze tends to be arrogant, long-winded, and manipulative, and Breeze is humble, long-winded, and kindly they tend to disagree a lot and pick on each other.[28]
Vin
Vin likes Ham, and he in return. He trains her on burning pewter and sparing. [29] He helps taking care of her the times she arrives back injured from a mission. [30] During the time when Vin was being influenced by Zane, Ham did have suspicion on her truthfulness and thought she might be at some point a liability. [31]
Elend
After the death of the Lord Ruler, Ham became Elend’s captain. He respected Elend but it took him some time to believe in his capabilities as leader[32]. They befriended each other and Elend trusted him as a friend. [27] He stood by his side and helped research for Elend to keep the throne. He even encouraged him to. [21][32]
Quotes
“ You know I’ll join your crew no matter what the job. This sounds crazy, but so do most of your plans. Just…just tell me. Are you serious about overthrowing the Lord Ruler? ”
— Ham to Kelsier and the crew on joining the Skaa Rebelion [2]
{{quote We may be friends, but when it comes to fighting, none of us would hesitate to kill the others.” | Ham to Vin on the Garrison [5] }}
Trivia
I really wish I'd made Ham a woman, for example. I think the character would have gone interesting places--and would have done good things for the lore of the world if women Thugs were heavily recruited to be soldiers. [33]
