Ghostblood origins theory

[RustedRuin]

So just a thought I had about the Thaidakar reveal, if he really is Kelsier then the end of Secret History sets up the origin of the Ghostbloods.

In the epilogue Spook uses a Hema spike to pierce himself and Kel appears to him talking about wanting to find out more about the cosmere and "how to find a new thread" to the physical world, surely if anybody could help with that it would be the Heralds? We know Spook was the ruler of Elendel for over 100 years but in the end he disappeared, what if he then went on to create the Ghostblood organisation alongside Kel and became a worldhopper? Perhaps he is the Avatar of Thaidakar that Mraize mentions?

Kell has a new thread already. It’s getting offworld that seems to be the problem... That, and he’s apparently learned that there are side effects to immortality.

Probably he wants what Kalak wanted, to get offworld, and what Mraize wanted, to get Stormlight offworld, probably so he could get himself offworld.

Timing. We know the dates of Alloy of Law. SA 1 - 5 is a few years before that. You'd have to squeeze the whole history of the Ghostbloods into 200 years at most. And that for an organization that can send middle managers on trips over multiple worlds.
