Shattered Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Who do you think is the most underrated Mistborn character of all time? I'm not going to do a poll for this, as the answers are likely to be very obscure. Personally, I think Terion is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracknut Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I remember someone trying to get some message to Vin from Sazed and getting killed off by Inquisitor(maybe Marsh) If anyone remembers his name, please share it with me Nothing special but liked the guy and he's death was so bad-time-bad-place it kinda made him special for me(not many characters dying like that in Sanderson's books).

Cracknut Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Ah, Goradel. You will be missed. Yup Another not so obvious one imho is OreSeur. Yes he's allegiances were bought by Kelsier, he had default Kandra personality as far as we know, but he was one of the most important parts of the revolution. He just got offed so wrongly and no one cared about it :\ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Breeze did one heck of a job putting up with Kelsier's noble-killing obsession considering that he was a pure noble himself. Doesn't even look disturbed. But I vote for Goradel. Maybe Demoux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varyn Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Demoux or Breeze, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Tempted to say "Stick." Nah, this is a Mistborn thread. I'd say in the first and second book, Spook. I didn't realize he was there until Book 3. Like "Oh yeah, there's that dude. Wait-he's doing something important? Should I have known who he was?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yurisses Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Waching the Netflix Daredevil series and seeing a blind/blindfolded guy walking everywhere like he owns the place and beating up villains reminded me a lot of Spook's coolness. He was really cool in book 3. Also, High Imperial is the best meme. I guess I liked Dockson's characterisation scenes? I would definitely have enjoyed seeing his job in more details.

Kobold King Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm sad that we never got a viewpoint from the Lord Ruler's swivel chair. What's all this about the Lord Ruler's swivel chair? I'm all for shipping, but this reference is a bit too esoteric for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 What's all this about the Lord Ruler's swivel chair? I'm all for shipping, but this reference is a bit too esoteric for me. Actually, his swivel chair was a hemlurgic construct holding the identity and memories of whoever Lutha was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goradel was SUPER important, and his getting killed is what saved the ENTIRE WORLD. His message even got a specific mention in the HoA's Epilogue "You did well. Know that the message you sent via Captain Goradel saved us all, in the end" He's also the Kredik Shaw guard that got Elend into Kredik Shaw to rescue Vin in Book 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Bilg. He saved the entire Mistborn story TWICE with his jerkness. If he hadn't been so vocal in his opposition Kelsier would've picked someone else for Demoux to fight, and that alternate fight may've gone differently (Demoux would've still won, but maybe not as good of a show). Without that fight result, Demoux might not have been able to keep as many soldiers from going on Yeden's failed raid If Bilg hadn't struck in Demoux in HoA (because Demoux was Mistfallen), Elend wouldn't have had an army of Atium Mistings waiting for him at the Terris Settlement He never knew it, but Bilg gave his life saving Scadrial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colours Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 What's all this about the Lord Ruler's swivel chair? I'm all for shipping, but this reference is a bit too esoteric for me. He has a chair that swivels. In his little hut of mystery, to be precise. You see it when Vin goes in there and finds some weird old guy, and he dramatically rotates around on his chair to face her. He probably spins around on it for fun when nobody's looking. Lord Ruler x Swivel Chair OTP 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turos Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I wonder what the swivel chair's geddup noise sounds like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindrunnerRadiant Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I definitely think that everyone seems to continually forget about Vin. I know a lot of you are reading this post and going, "There is no Vin in the Mistborn trilogy," but seriously, there is and if you missed her you need to re-read it because she does play a big role despite the fact that she barely appears. Joking aside, I would say Mennis, the elderly skaa we meet in prologue. Sure, he doesn't have the biggest role in the plot by any means, really only doing what he is forced to do by Kelsier's actions, but I think he is important in a literary sense. He gives us spectacular insight into the class system of the nobles and the skaa and how skaa are forced to live their life. We get more details later, but that scene sets the stage for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Dockson. Guy is not even listed among the Scadrial era 1 major characters at the wiki. He (and I think OreSeur) are the only crewmembers not to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRyan Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I will probably go with Dockson as well. He made Kel's dreams come true and got a Koloss sword to the face for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want fanart with TLR going "wheeee!" while spinning on his swivel chair, then seeing that an Inquisitor walked in and regaining his composure of "the serious tyrannical godly emperor overlord". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaelya Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I would go with Allriane. She had so much potential, and yet she has so few scenes ! I liked how she was first presented as a very stereotypical character, and then proved herself to be so much more. But yeah, I loved Goradel too. Not a big fan of Spook though.

StormyQueen Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I would definatly agree with Dockson and Allriane, although I do feel that many of the members of the crew are very underated, which is a shame because they're so awesome! It's probably because they didn't have as much time in the spotlight, and many of their personalities seemed to run together a bit, but I still love them.

vividox Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'll definitely second (eighth? tenth?) Goradel. Very minor character with a huge role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin in Burgundy Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I never really understood why Dockson was in the series, honestly. But I think Demoux is most underrated Spoiler Because he's a Worldhopper but never really did much in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
