'''Leras''' is the first Vessel of the [[Shard]] [[Preservation]], originally from [[Yolen]]. Along with [[Ati]], the Vessel of [[Ruin]], he created [[Scadrial]], although he later betrayed Ati and imprisoned him in the [[Well of Ascension]], at the cost of his own life.

Leras is a short man with black hair and a prominent nose.{{epigraph ref|mb3|56}} In [[Cognitive Realm]], he appears wearing a thin wool coat that reaches almost to his feet, as well as a laced tunic with a conical skirt at the bottom, tied by a belt holding a [[Leras' knife|knife]] with a handle of bone.{{msh ref|1|1}} As his final death approaches, his form begins to unravel, and parts of him begin to fall apart into mist.

When appearing in the physical realm, Leras takes the form of the [[mist]] spirit; a silhouette outlined in Scadrial's omnipresent mists. Though roughly humanoid, he is difficult to distinguish from the fog, at least until he starts moving. He cannot speak in this form, but he can move around and point, as well as interact with objects in a limited capacity.{{book ref|mb3|55}}
While he is still able, Leras appears to the souls of the dying on [[Scadrial]] in order to offer some comfort before they move on to the afterlife. He appears wearing a thin wool coat that reaches almost to his feet, as well as a laced shirt and a conical skirt tied by a belt holding a [[Leras' knife|knife]] with a handle of bone.{{msh ref|1|1}}

When he is cognizant, Leras is often sarcastic and sardonic. He gets easily excited over things he adores, like the [[Lord Ruler]], and will often pace when thinking, full of energy. He likes people who accomplish the impossible, especially when it involves their own survival.{{msh ref|1|1}} He was once able to be cunning, and even deceitful, when needed, but seems to have lost this capacity over time.{{msh ref|3|1}}

Leras is a Vessel of a [[Shard]]; as such, he is unaging, nigh-omniscient within his sphere of influence, and lacking a form in the [[Physical Realm]] -- his actual body is stored somewhere else, and reappears on [[Scadrial]] upon his death.{{book ref|mb3|82}} He is, however, dead, and has been for centuries, if not millennia; as such, he is slowly unraveling. He lacks significant fragments of his memories, has trouble focusing, and only remains lucid for short periods of time.{{msh ref|1|1}} He has trouble keeping a humanoid appearance even in the [[Cognitive Realm]], and parts of him can only appear as tendrils of mist.{{msh ref|1|2}} He's also technically a [[Cognitive Shadow]]; a fading imprint of mind and memory on the power of [[Preservation]].{{wob ref|6891}}{{msh ref|3|2}}
  +
  +
As the Vessel of Preservation, Leras has some of the best futuresight in the [[cosmere]]. He is able to accurately predict events for thousands of years in the future, even with interference from [[Ruin]]. This allows him to make long-term, large-scale plans and trust them to work out properly, even if he himself forgets what the plan was in the first place.{{book ref|mb3|81}}{{msh ref|1|2}}

== History ==
  +
Very little is known about Leras' life as a human. He was born on [[Yolen]]. Along with a group of other people, he killed [[Adonalsium]] for unknown reasons. This killing split Adonalsium into sixteen parts, and sixteen of Adonalsium's killers took those up, becoming the first Vessels of the [[Shards]]. Leras was among them, picking [[Preservation]] before departing Yolen along with [[Ati]], the Vessel of [[Ruin]].{{msh ref|3|2}}
===Pact with Ruin===
 
As one of the sixteen people who shattered [[Adonalsium]], he became the original vessel of Shard Preservation. As the vessel, his mind was warped to fit his Shardic intent, making it impossible for him to destroy, only to preserve things as they are. In an agreement with the Shard [[Ruin]], he obtained Ruin's help in creating a planet (Scadrial), in return for allowing Ruin to destroy it. However, his Intent prevented him from actually allowing Ruin to destroy Scadrial. He orchestrated the downfall of Ruin on Scadrial with an elaborate plot to sacrifice himself (since holding Preservation meant he was unable to destroy). He sacrificed his mental capabilities to entrap Ruin in the [[Well of Ascension]], effectively preventing Ruin from majorly affecting the world.

===Death===
 
During the siege of [[Fadrex City]], Leras appeared to Elend as the mist spirit, giving Elend important information pertaining to what needed to be done to thwart Ruin. This exposed Leras to Ruin's newly released power, and in his weakened state, he was killed by Ruin. His body then coalesced from the mists, before being buried in ash. Kelsier then takes up the power of Preservation, who then gives it to Vin. She then kills [[Ati]], the vessel of Ruin, in a suicidal attack, completely against the intent to preserve. It's both because she had a bit of Ruin in her and because Preservation had less time to mold her to its Intent. This allowed [[Sazed]] to pick up both Shards to become [[Harmony]].

Though Leras and Ati knew each other before the [[Shattering]], having killed Adonalsium together, it's uknown what the relationship between them was. Leras seems to know him well, enough so to recognize what parts of Ruin's behavior stem from Ati's own personality, and seems to mourn his change in an understated way.{{msh ref|3|1}} As the Shards, the two are diametrically opposed in both intent and personality. Ati is dismissive and mocking of Leras, while Leras is worried about Ati escaping the [[Well of Ascension]] and devises the plan to oppose him.{{msh ref|4|4}} This being said, Leras isn't himself scared of Ati, as he is already dead and thus beyond his reach.{{msh ref|2|3}}

Fortunately, before I died, I put a plan into motion. I can't remember it, but I’m certain that it was brilliant.

—Leras[4]

Leras is the first Vessel of the Shard Preservation, originally from Yolen. Along with Ati, the Vessel of Ruin, he created Scadrial, although he later betrayed Ati and imprisoned him in the Well of Ascension, at the cost of his own life. He is nicknamed Fuzz by Kelsier.[5]

Appearance and Personality

Appearance

Leras is a short man with black hair and a prominent nose.[6] In Cognitive Realm, he appears wearing a thin wool coat that reaches almost to his feet, as well as a laced tunic with a conical skirt at the bottom, tied by a belt holding a knife with a handle of bone.[5] As his final death approaches, his form begins to unravel, and parts of him begin to fall apart into mist. At a certain point, half of his face is missing, replaced by fading white smoke, with holes in other parts of his body and clothing. This does not impact his ability to speak or perceive his environment.[7] Occassionally, his silhouette will fully unfold, revealing a skeleton beneath. Looking into this form's eyes while holding any power allows one to perceive the full nature of Preservation -- an expanse of infinity, frozen still in a single moment.[7]

When appearing in the physical realm, Leras takes the form of the mist spirit; a silhouette outlined in Scadrial's omnipresent mists. Though roughly humanoid, he is difficult to distinguish from the fog, at least until he starts moving. He cannot speak in this form, but he can move around and point, as well as interact with objects in a limited capacity.[8]

Personality

The hearts of men are NOT YOUR TOYS.

—Leras to Kelsier[9]

When he is cognizant, Leras is often sarcastic and sardonic. He gets easily excited over things he adores, like the Lord Ruler, and will often pace when thinking, full of energy. He likes people who accomplish the impossible, especially when it involves their own survival.[5] He was once able to be cunning, and even deceitful, when needed, but seems to have lost this capacity over time.[3]

Leras has a strong sense of duty towards Scadrial and its people, and continues to maintain his appointed tasks, such as welcoming the recently-deceased, even as he is dying.[5] He treats his divinity seriously, and attempts to impart this seriousness upon others.[9] The same means he dislikes being mocked, and is highly offended when suggested to act in a way opposing to his intent.[10] He can also get incensed when people do not follow their roles, and gets angry when his function as Scadrial's god is questioned or usurped.[3]

Abilities and Attributes

Yes, there was a plan. I . . . remember I had a plan. When I was smarter . . .

—Leras[11]

Leras is a Vessel of a Shard; as such, he is unaging, nigh-omniscient within his sphere of influence, and lacking a form in the Physical Realm -- his actual body is stored somewhere else, and reappears on Scadrial upon his death.[12] He is, however, dead, and has been for centuries, if not millennia; as such, he is slowly unraveling. He lacks significant fragments of his memories, has trouble focusing, and only remains lucid for short periods of time.[5] He has trouble keeping a humanoid appearance even in the Cognitive Realm, and parts of him can only appear as tendrils of mist.[11] He's also technically a Cognitive Shadow; a fading imprint of mind and memory on the power of Preservation.[13][14]

As the Vessel of Preservation, Leras has some of the best futuresight in the cosmere. He is able to accurately predict events for thousands of years in the future, even with interference from Ruin. This allows him to make long-term, large-scale plans and trust them to work out properly, even if he himself forgets what the plan was in the first place.[15][11]

The form he takes in the Cognitive Realm carries on it a knife with bone handle.[5] He refers to it as his old friend, and his first instinct when threatened is to reach for it, suggesting he was once at least moderately capable with it; however, in the present times he finds actually harming someone else almost impossible.[11][10]

Ati

Kelsier

You're not only the first to punch me, you’re also the first to try to recruit me. You are a distinctively strange man.

—Leras to Kelsier[5]

Leras and Kelsier meet when the latter dies, though Leras himself has been following Kelsier's actions for some time. He dislikes him, and initially wants to push him onward to the Beyond, but Kelsier is able to trick him into explaining how to become a Cognitive Shadow.

Senna

Oh, Senna . . . I'm losing this place. Losing them all . . .

—Leras[3]

Leras is familiar with an unknown person or being named Senna. It's unclear who or what they were; however, Leras invokes them during his breakdown when seeing Ruin destroy Scadrial around him, suggesting it was someone highly important to him.[3]

Trivia

  • Leras will be one of the major characters in Dragonsteel.[19]
  • He is familiar with Vax, and would recognize the name if he was still around when Ati mentioned it.[20]
