Waxillium Ladrian

"I have known you for an entire year now, Lord Waxillium. I can accept you for who you are, but I am under no illusions. Something will happen at our wedding. A villain will burst in, guns firing. Or we’ll discover explosives in the altar. Or Father Bin will inexplicably turn out to be an old enemy and attempt to murder you instead of performing the ceremony. It will happen."

- Steris, to Wax Waxillium "Wax" Ladrian is the protagonist of the second trilogy in the Mistborn series, a nobleman turned lawkeeper brought back to the city of Elendel through tragedy and intrigue.

Originally born into the noble house Ladrian, Wax left his home of privilege after succumbing to an increasing disgust with how his family members, such as his uncle Edwarn, treated their employees as slaves. He would steal cash and work his way to the Roughs, where he would later develop into his lawman personality, using his inborn Allomantic and Feurochemic abilities as a twinborn to give him an edge over the rampant criminals.

Along the way, he was joined by Lessie, his lover and life, as well as Wayne, his endearing friend, who worked together to bring justice to the lawless Roughs. However, after years of service and a marrige, tragedy truck Wax when Lessie was killed by his own bullet in a hostage situation. This led him to abandon his life of crime-hunting, and move back into the crowded city of Elendel to run the house of Ladrian as its lord. However, with the activity of the Vanishers and the urging of his old friend Wayne, as well as the kidnapping of his to-be fiance Steris, Wax found himself inevitably going back to being a crime solver, now working alongside Steris' stepsister, Marasi and the constables. He would go on to take down numerous threats that worked with the Set, a terrorist organization bent on causing havoc on the powers in place in the city.
