Spook
SupportingAlso known as: Lestibournes
A tall, thin, and lanky fifteen-year-old boy with an awkward, gangly build and nervous demeanor, his slender frame moving with the uncoordinated energy of youth still growing into his height. He wears loose gray clothing that emphasizes his wiry form, and his fair skin readily shows blushes of embarrassment or unease across his youthful face. A skaa apprentice from the oppressive streets of Luthadel, he presents as a hesitant yet loyal teenage lookout whose lanky physique and quick flushes reveal both his inexperience and his underlying alertness.
Spook begins the Mistborn series as a gangly, nervous fifteen-year-old skaa lookout, loyal but inexperienced amid the rebellion against the Lord Ruler. By The Well of Ascension, he matures into a capable sixteen-year-old scout, filling out physically while honing his tin-burning skills in the mists. In The Hero of Ages, a blinded yet empowered young man, Spook rises to lead the survivors in Luthadel, guided by Kelsier's voice, embracing his enhanced senses and Allomantic might to rescue captives, confront his past guilts, and play a pivotal role in averting the world's end.
Physical Description
A tall, thin, and lanky fifteen-year-old boy with an awkward, gangly build and nervous demeanor, his slender frame moving with the uncoordinated energy of youth still growing into his height. He wears loose gray clothing that emphasizes his wiry form, and his fair skin readily shows blushes of embarrassment or unease across his youthful face. A skaa apprentice from the oppressive streets of Luthadel, he presents as a hesitant yet loyal teenage lookout whose lanky physique and quick flushes reveal both his inexperience and his underlying alertness. Sixteen-year-old Spook stands well over six feet tall with a lean, filled-out build that has replaced the gangly frame of his younger years, giving him the look of a capable young man. Fair-skinned with short dark hair and sensitive bright eyes that he must shade from direct sunlight, his face is youthful and frequently breaks into an easy smile. He moves with a casual lounging posture that reveals his street origins even when wearing a soldier's uniform, his features appearing dark and shadowed when he returns from nighttime scouting in the mists. A short, slight-built young man with fair skin and an intense, hardened look about him. His eyes are protected by a thick cloth bandage wrapped around his head, with a pair of spectacles bulging slightly underneath the fabric. He wears a distinctive burned cloak, marked with holes and scorch spots from his daring rescue, draped over simple trousers and a shirt. His movements are precise and quick, reflecting his street urchin background and Allomantic tin powers that heighten his senses to extreme levels.
