Steel Inquisitors

Introduced in *The Well of Ascension* as terrifying Hemalurgic enforcers of the Lord Ruler, Steel Inquisitors are robed priests augmented with massive steel spikes driven through their eyes, granting them Allomantic powers stolen via Hemalurgy and turning them into immortal, relentless hunters of skaa rebels and Mistborn. Their fearsome presence dominates the narrative as symbols of imperial oppression, showcasing the brutal fusion of magic and machinery in the Final Empire's hierarchy. Though their full evolution unfolds across the series, their debut marks a pivotal escalation in the conflict between humanity and the theocratic regime.
