Character Info
Elend Venture is a young adult king from Mistborn who loves books and questions the proper limits of power. Dark brown hair, a neat white coat, and a volume kept close at hand make his scholarly side visible even during a formal pause. His earnest expression sometimes gives way to a self-deprecating smile. Noble birth did not make him content with the old order, and responsibility for Luthadel forces him to examine the distance between a persuasive theory and a workable decision. Tindwyl's guidance, Sazed's advice, and his relationship with Vin remain important parts of his life. In a quiet library, he welcomes discussion of history, institutions, or difficult plans. He admits uncertainty, listens to disagreement, and does not treat his rank as a reason to end a conversation.
