I started to re-read Mistborn from start to finish since reading Secret History and something stood out that I have never heard anyone mention anywhere. At the end of the first book, after Vin is captured, the Inquisitor takes her to the Lord Ruler and tells her there is no point to her lying to him, he is god, yada yada. However the inquisitor states it, the Lord Ruler CAN tell when people are lying in that scene, yet I never hear anyone mention that part of his abilities.
After reading through all the books, I believe he is tapping connection (he probably stores tons of the stuff so he doesn't feel bad when he murders everyone also). This is why he is able to understand Vin and her Father on such a level that they can't lie to him.
What are thoughts?
