The Lord Ruler *SPOILERS*

[MistbornINQ]

Sad to say, when I first read Mistborn: The Final Empire, I did not pay too close attention to the Lord Ruler's actual looks. And I would really just like to know. What the heck did this man look like? Because what I see in my mind is probably not what he was described like.

[Chaos]

From what I remember, he wears both white and black, to symbolize that he represents everything. He does wear bracers and rings, and I think he wears a suit not unlike the nobles. I seem to recall that he is tall with dark hair, and his accent is peculiar

I'll verify this with my copy of Final Empire today and get back to you.

I know he 'turns' into an old man later in the book. I think Chaos pretty much has it.

[MistbornINQ]

I think so too. Chaos, you seem pretty dead on. But for some reason I always pictured him bald, and always bare chested. Like the main character from the video game God of War.

Haha.

[Shard]

I imagined him bald as well, don't why really. Also well muscled *nod*

[Chaos]

Well, I would assume he could store Strength and just tap it later, making him appear muscled (MistbornINQ, maybe you want to a put a spoiler tag in the topic title for the people who haven't read Mistborn yet).

Hahaha. No, I think he keeps his clothes on Though I will check if he does indeed have hair. We really shouldn't rely on my memory, because I tend to miss key details like that.

I plan to look in Final Empire and look at the part where the Lord Ruler appears for the first time. That's probably the best image you'd want for him, as I'd imagine that's his "public" appearance. The buff and well-dressed one . I may even just quote the paragraphs and paste them here.

But first, it's writing time for me

I think somewhere when we first see him in the square they describe him with black hair I think.

Edit: I found the palce in the book. Here it is:

     He was dressed in a black and white uniform somewhat like a noblemens suit, but far more exaggerated. The coat reached all the way to his feet, and trailed behind him as he walked. His vest wasn't colored, but a pure balck, though it was accented with brilliant white markings. As Vin had heard, his fingers glittered with rings, the symbol of his power.
     I'm so much stronger than you, the rings proclaimed, that it doesn't mater if I wear metal.     Handsome, with jet balck hair and pale skin, the Lord Ruler was tall thin and confident. And he was young-younger than Vin would have expected.

There you go!!

Don't forget about the bracelets that were pierced through his arm. Those are the most important thing he had. They stored his youth and he died quickly without them.

From rereading the book, Vin described him as looking like a young man, extremely muscled, with hair lol.

Great job, Bastille Now I don't have to search in the books myself! Many thanks!
