Laras/Preservation Murderer? Spoilers
Random Wookie replied to Random Wookie's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Yes he carried but probably didn't use it or unsheathe it until Kelsier forced his hand, and trope wise calling a Knife old friend usually means a killer of some sort. I know its RAFO but i still like my theory. I'm a knife collector and I would never refer to one as old friend, even my Buck I've had most of my life. Now if I'd used it memorably then I might consider it a friend -
Ok so new to the forums and not sure if this has been covered or not, Spoilers for Secret History Stormlight and Mistborn. So after reading secret history I found one line that makes me think Laras was not a great dude back on Yolen. Now i know that each of the 16 got shards, we do not know if they picked shards or was random or whatever. But we do know that Ati was a good guy before he became Ruin and Ryse was a dick before Odium. Now when Laras was at the well of Ascension and Kelsier was trying to get him to kill Elend. Laras pulls out a dagger and says "Hello old friend". Is it just me or does that kinda sound like something a Serial Killer or Murderer would say to their weapon? If it was a sword or axe I'd be inclined to think Laras was kinda like a kelsier antihero and just grew attached to his weapon. And I like the idea that Laras either chose Preservation because of some kind of weird obsession or was given it because he tended to destroy things or even better a regretful killer who now only wants to preserve life instead of destroying it. Thoughts?
