The Lord Mistborn is a revered figure in the post-Catacendre world of the Elendel Basin, remembered more as an icon than as a living presence in the later Mistborn era. In Shadows of Self he appears as an image on coinage, depicted standing with his left arm outstretched toward the Basin, a symbol of protection and founding legend. By The Lost Metal the title surfaces only in passing, a name invoked within the culture of Elendel rather than a character who acts on the page, underscoring how the heroes of the first era have passed into myth.
Description

The text supplies no physical description of Lord Mistborn. Height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and distinguishing marks are all unspecified.
