[M:Secret History Spoilers] This character could be...

[Natans Dakhor Monk]

So could Mraize be  Kelsier ?? in his new body ? Unlikely, but both have extensive scars and some similar atitude? Thoughts?!?

I don't know how to make this topic title more vague, but I'm coming up with something crappy for it.

[Mael Bridgeman]

As much as I wish Mraize = Kelsier just so we could see what Kelsier could do out in the larger Cosmere... I don't think that's the case. Kelsier has that spike coming out of one of his eyes that Mraize is lacking, and I don't see Kelsier allowing one of his associates to potentially kill someone he is interested in. Plus we probably would have seen some of Kelsier's ongoing hatred towards nobility come out once he found out Shallan was a Jah Keved noble (a middling one, but still a noble)

 

It's a fun thought, and there are a couple similarities between the two, but I really doubt M=K

[Orlion Blight Voidbringer]

At the same time, with what we have found out about Southern Scadrialians, there seems like there's more clues in the company Mraize keeps in the form of a masked lady whose name escapes me.

New Mistborn: Secret Histoy spoilers

Judging from the character development we see in Kelsier in the new Mistborn: Secret History novella I sincerely doubt he is Mraize. I do not think Kelsier would condone the actions of his subordinates in this way.

[The Invested Beard Listener]

Nope.

[dyring Gyorn]

Overlooking the other problems to go to just one thing that disqualifies it, would someone who saved all of southern scadrial and was basically revered as a god there then have another southern scadrial as his master?

 

Think not.

[Pathfinder Voidbringer]

Also Iyalte(totally butchered the spelling) is stated to be Mraize's Babsk, or the person who is training the apprentice. Given that the assumption is that Kelsier is the Sovereign (i know there are those that disagree, but i am going on the premise that most people do think he is) then he would be the founder of the southern scadrians including the hunters, which iyalte seems to be a member of albeit a member that was born on a different planet from scadrial, and then moved to roshar. So how would the founder of your very people, end up being your apprentice?

[Windrunner Dawnsinger]

Kelsier did not found any of the five peoples in the South, he saved them. The Hunters are so called because they were hunters before the Ice Death, so it makes no sense for Kell to have found them.

[Shardbearer Vanisher]

Didn't Peter basically confirm that Mraize is from Thaylenah?

That's correct. If Kelsier is indeed currently living on Roshar (which I doubt), then Thaidakar (who appears to be the leader of the Ghosbloods) would be more likely to be him than any character we've seen so far, especially if Iyatil really is Southern Scadrian.

Ha ha, Keliser formed an organization called the "Ghostbloods"... That's funny if you think about it.
