What's a Seawolf? Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Dockson, such a critical but mostly offscreen role. Then he dies, and is more or less forgotten. Such a sad death scene too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he did something, otherwise he wouldn't be present during the briefing in the first place, but for the life of me I can't remember what. EDIT: Just remembered, he was the team Smoker.

Clubs was the Smoker. Dockson was not Metalborn. He handled the team finances and supplies. He took Kel's crazy plans and used his incredible quartermaster/account skills to make them possible. Kel was the dreamer and Dox handled the details. Without Dox they would have been broke, lost, and wouldn't have had food/beds haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirahound Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Maybe not underrated, per se, but I kinda wished we'd seen more from Jess, that girl that Kel rescued in the first prologue. She had some fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFencer Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've waited for a thread like this forever. The clear answer is Senator Inis Julien. Because I'd do the same thing. Because I'd do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a link. This is the person who made the outskirts angry at Elendel in the papers. She insulted their navy. But actually I think Sanderson did an impressive job in drawing in underrated characters for important roles... Goradel, of coarse, is a good example of this, because he saved the world... Marsh, too, is a good example of this I think. He went through some crazy stuff in his life, growing up as a skaa, weathering failed rebellion before Kelsier showed up, getting made into a steel inquisitor against his will, and then getting possessed by ruin. Despite all that, he was actually a very good person. Edited July 26, 2016 by Drake Marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't even look disturbed. But I vote for Goradel. Maybe Demoux. ...wait. Breeze wasn't part skaa? How did he survive Kelsier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, only Sazed really had all the pieces to figure it out, and he cared much more for the kind of person Breeze was, than who his parents were.

DeadFencer Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Kelsier got a bit weird with his noble hate toward the end. I'd say more, but secret history spoilers. Spoiler-free, he has the opportunity to get rid of the noble class and the old noble families forever, br doesn't take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeMarshall Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 That hoid dude who was Kelsier's informant is pretty underrated. He was just some random skaa that Kelsier paid for information, but still, for some reason I think we overlook him a lot and he might be important. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoidhunter Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 So...a few things... first...colors gets up votes for making me laugh for like 10 minutes...I never realized just how silly it is that the lord ruler has a swivel chair in his secret room. Seriously...if you remember, he actually made that room while he was still ascended. So...he could have literally made it ANY kind of chair he could imagine. "And for my last act as a demigod...squeaky office chair." Second, Ana gets an upvote for posting my answer before I could do it. If it weren't for Felt, Elend would never have ended up with Vin...world would have ended. That's without even addressing the fact that there is apparently much more to him than meets the eye. My very first post on the 17th shard was actually because I noticed something unusual about Felt. third...for the sake of posting an original answer...the two most under appreciated characters are the two skaa who run out of the crowd and impale the lord ruler. Not only do they have spheres the size of chulls...so to speak...but they accidentally create the symbol for the church of the survivor for hundreds of years to come...and are never named. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeMarshall Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I hadn't really thought of them (which I suppose proves the point that they are underrated). And yet, you are correct that those two skaa should pretty much qualify as saints in the church of the survivor. Good thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two characters you talk about - they don't exist. There was a group of rebels, led by one of Ham's Pewterarms. That Thug drives the first spear through TLR and then, after TLR ignores him and walks by, takes spear of one of his men and stabs TLR again. And then an Inqusitor slaughters them.

DrakeMarshall Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Ah. That might explain why the character seemed unfamiliar Even so that pewterarm is then an underrated character I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
