![]() Shan was accompanied by another Mistborn and several other Allomancers who served House Elariel. Vin immediately left to try and save Elend and found Shan, who was revealed to be a full Mistborn. Meanwhile, Straff Venture was said to be complicit in the plot, as he saw it as a chance to eliminate his "unworthy" heir alongside two young noblemen from rival houses who would be meeting with Elend- Jastes Lekal and Telden Hasting. Kliss's scuttlebutt indicated that Shan had confirmed that Elend was reading forbidden books and hoped to damage House Venture's reputation by revealing this fact to the Steel Ministry. Shan's plans soon took a darker turn Vin learned from Kliss that Shan planned to have Elend assassinated in his quarters after a ball at Keep Venture. Vin was frustrated that she could no longer learn more about whatever Shan was plotting. Shan realized that Valette's allegiance was with Elend, and no longer wanted anything to do with her. ![]() Vin tried to warn Elend about Shan, but he did not share her concern. ![]() As "Valette" gained confidence, Shan became even more insulting towards her and made stronger use of her Allomancy, eventually tasking Valette with digging up more dirt on Elend. Vin continued to subject herself to Shan's abuse in order to maintain her Valette persona. īy Elizabeth Peiró Shan (top), fighting Vin Kelsier received further confirmation that Shan was a Soother from a disguised Hoid, who also told him that Shan kept some spare brass in her glove. Shan mercilessly insulted Valette and attempted to subtly Soothe her emotions in order to control her, but Vin noticed it thanks to training that she received from Breeze. Shan met Vin at her second ball as Valette Renoux, and Vin was struck by her haughty attitude. At one point, Shan even sent her Terrisman steward to covertly look at some books that Elend left on his table to try and learn what he had been reading about, likely because she suspected that he had rebellious leanings. Shan's desire to keep tabs on Elend was the reason that she was willing to interact with Vin in her disguise as Valette Renoux, after she was seen talking to Elend. ĭespite this setback, she was a budding master of house politics, and kept an eye on Elend since he was the heir to House Venture, one of the few houses that had more power than her own. Elend was flippant about the situation, but Shan seemed to hold some personal bitterness about the fact that he did not seem to care about marrying her. Although they technically never broke off the engagement, Shan became known as Elend's "former fiancée". It was presumably a political engagement between the two houses, as no movement was made towards a marriage for a year. Shan became engaged to Elend Venture around 1021 FE. History īy Jove Failed Engagement to Elend Several years later, Vin recalls her fight with Shan as a difficult one. She is fully trained in both Allomancy and hand-to-hand combat. She is wealthy, and has more than one bead of atium when confronted by Vin. She uses brass most often, but she also uses other metals such as steel, pewter, iron, atium, and copper during her fight with Vin. Shan is a Mistborn and is able to burn all of the metals known during the Final Empire. Those loyal to House Elariel, including a Terrisman steward and a number of Allomancers, are willing to perform subterfuge or even kill at her direction. ![]() She is highly informed about other members of the court, and she is both skilled and aggressive in house politics. Attributes and Abilities Īlthough Shan is self-centered, her beauty and charisma attract people to her. Vin believes that she personifies the ideal woman among the Luthadel elite. Despite the fact that many in the court fear her, Elend calls her "harmless". She maintains a demeaning attitude towards those she considers below her station, openly and calmly threatening and insulting them. As a member of a great house, she considers herself superior to most other people, even other nobles. She is used to getting her way at all times, partly due to her ability to Soothe those around her. Shan is clever and exceptionally confident. When she fights as a Mistborn, she pulls her hair back and wears black trousers and a black shirt, along with a mistcloak. Her appearance is generally immaculate, and she wears fine dresses and jewelry. She has dark, expressive eyes and an attractive figure. Shan is tall and striking, with long, dark auburn hair. ![]()
