Kelsier Scars

Kelsier Scars, the infamous facial scars borne by the Survivor after his brutal ordeal in the Pits of Hathsin, emerge as a defining symbol of resilience and rebellion across the Mistborn series. First appearing post-*The Final Empire*, they evolve from a personal mark of survival into an iconic emblem etched onto Resistance tattoos, inspiring generations in *The Well of Ascension* and beyond. By *The Hero of Ages*, the scars transcend Kelsier's physical form, becoming a cultural and spiritual rallying point amid Ruin's apocalypse, underscoring themes of defiance against divine tyranny.
