Actually, the books never say one way or another. Sazed calls him Master Ladrian and Lord Ladrian, to which Breeze replies he doesn't like that name. Unlike real world nobility, Nobles in Mistborn are called by their last names when addressed formally ("Lord Venture" for Straff, "Lord Renoux" for Teven, "Lady Elariel" for Shan, "Lady Renoux" for Vin's Valette persona by the serving boy, etc.). Ladrian is almost certainly Breeze's surname.

I'm a humanitarian.

Except that we have confirmation that FTL travel is possible with the Metallic Arts, and time travel is one of the potential oddities of FTL. I wouldn't rule it out yet (though I'm generally of the opinion that it will be something more basic than Atium blends).

Which part? I haven't read it in a while... I've heard that as hypothesized, but not confirmed.

Because that requires them to have metal, or become normal once their metals burn out. Better to train a guy who doesn't have the advantage to rely on in the first place than to have one who bets his life on it and loses. "Hazekillers weren't Allomancers, but they were trained to fight Mistings and Mistborn. There wouldn't be a single bit of metal on their bodies, and they would be ready for his tricks." M:TFE, 98. They explicitly try to either overwhelm threats with a quick burst of violence or delay the target until Allomancers can arrive to handle it directly. They are as much a group of containment specialists as they are combat specialists. Heck, just eight of these guys held up Kelsier. Kelsier, who took on an Inquisitor and not only won, but was actually accorded a measure of respect in the fight by his opponent. That two of them (at least) survived is a testament to how well that works.

I'm pretty sure that was with the team of Allomancers that went after Vin during the siege, not the Hazekillers. Books aren't handy, but someone able to reference can confirm.

...That is brilliant.

I'm curious, how would the Bendalloy bubble help you to actually defeat the Inquisitor? A bloodmaker would need quite a lot of stored health if the only trick he has is fast healing; what strategy do you have in mind? I don't know that spikes would be hidden from the Inquisitor's vision. Might not be the ace you're envisioning...

We need to get Val Kilmer to become a Shardholder. Dosing Allomancers with Valium would be hilarious.

You raise a good point, though I wonder whether such a "current" of Investiture would be functionally different. If you have enough passing through you, it might still shield you from the effects while it does so. Curious...

Want a really random theory? We're still missing a metal, and Aluminum is the Godmetal for another shard.

I actually assumed that's what any and all previous "Heroes" had done: take the power of the Well and use it to create Lerasium. No real basis, aside from that I thought there were probably predecessors to Rashek and Alendi.

Atium and Lerasium are dispensed at the whim of Harmony in the Alloy of Law era. They are as finite as he wills them to be.

Yup, we're on the same page now. I really was ignoring wind and other air currents, which I didn't realize was what you were getting at there. My bad on that score.

Both should be positive values, so that should be the difference, not sum. I'm with you so far (though you meant stores, not taps). Initial acceleration is 9.8 m/s/s. That is what I meant, and failed to sufficiently clarify, in my last response. My apologies. Not over periods of time, no. The feather has a much lower terminal velocity. But in the instant that they are dropped, yes, they do. Drag/air resistance will actually have a greater effect as his body has a greater surface area-to-mass* ratio than normal. That's what causes him to reach terminal velocity sooner, and therefore have a slower terminal velocity. * - Even if storing weight doesn't store mass on some level, it at the very least duplicates the effects of having less mass to a reasonable degree.
