You might be curious to know that I based Elend, in part, on my editor Moshe. I don’t know that it was conscious—in fact, I just noticed the connection while writing right now. However, the speech patterns and the way he thinks are very similar to Moshe, and I kind of see him in my mind as looking like a younger version of my editor. I guess I see Moshe as a sort of heroic guy.
He wouldn’t make a very good dictator either. But, then, I think that’s a good thing, since I have to work with him. :)
