The Lord Ruler

The Terris packman of the logbook — and, a thousand years later, the Lord Ruler himself. He killed his master on the way to the Well, took the power meant for the Hero, and used it to remake the world to his own ends. Slain in Kredik Shaw on the morning of the Luthadel rising. MB1:TFE:Ch 38

The immortal sovereign of the Final Empire, able to wear the body of a handsome young man or a liver-spotted elder at will. Spears driven through his body do not slow him; his passive Soothing smothers every skaa within reach. When he leans close enough to touch Vin's face, she can feel something godlike — power enough to slaughter every soul in Luthadel by himself, tirelessly, without fear of any rebellion. MB1:TFE:Ch 36

The immortal sovereign of the Final Empire, seen in person for the first time at Kelsier's execution: a tall, jet-haired, confident young man in an exaggerated black-and-white coat, every finger ringed. Spears driven through his body do not slow him; his passive Soothing smothers the emotion of every skaa within reach. He claims to have killed Kelsier once already and to have never made a mistake. MB1:TFE:Ch 34

A Terris packman in the unnamed narrator's caravan, named in the logbook. The narrator finds him quietly contemptuous, and worries that a Terrisman of Rashek's bearing has seen through him. MB1:TFE:Ch 21

The immortal sovereign of the Final Empire. He overthrew the world and remade it in ash and mist a thousand years ago. MB1:TFE:Prologue
