==History==
Before Edwarn faked his death, it was widely believed that he had wasted the family fortune through poor business deals while earning a meager sum betting on horse races.{{book ref|mb4|3}} He was remembered as hermit-like save for his letters to the broadsheets about political matters,{{book ref|mb4|Epilogue}} and had offended three-quarters of the city’s upper crust.{{book ref|mb4|1}}

It was later revealed he had prepared [[Hinston]] to take over the Ladrians’ house, but owing to an unfortunate disease that resulted in his death, Edwarn had to resort to Wax instead. He also confirmed that he was secretly transferring funds into the Set's bank account in preparation for his fake death and subsequent new life.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}}

Overtime Edwarn proposed and was given approval to begin his own operation under the Set known as the [[Community]]. The original goal of the project had been to provide allomancer to the Set for their experiments in the long term.{{book ref|mb7|57}} In order to facilitate this plan he formed the [[Vanishers]].
 
   
He managed to doom House Tekiel. By funding the [[Vanishers]] in their robberies, the house owed payments on too many high-profile losses. These attacks, and the insurance claims, devastated them and their financial integrity. Company shareholders had been selling their stakes for pennies.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}}

Edwarn and the [[Set]] wanted to breed Allomancers. He hired [[Miles]] and the Vanishers to capture women with correct powers to do so.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} Both [[Steris]] and [[Marasi]]{{book ref|mb4|19}} were on his list, and when the former was captured, [[Wax]] took it upon himself to find her.{{book ref|mb4|15}}

Wax figured out he was alive and under the alias of “Mr Suit”, Miles' employer. He also decoded Miles' notes which tracked his moves. He found his uncle, but had to let him go, as he had his sister captive.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}}

Edwarn was later confirmed to be looking to start a rebellion in Elendel, creating chaos and profiting from it. Along with the Set he was developing higher technology that was still kept secret from the rest of the population; they were probably using it to create Allomancers, as there was not time for breeding.{{book ref|mb6|17}}

Edwarn was also looking for a weapon in the south, so he trekked to the temple housing them. He tried to negotiate with Wax to help get them and almost managed to kill him by using his sister [[Telsin]] as a mole who shot him.{{book ref|mb6|26}}

As Wax got the Bands' power and recovered, he confronted his uncle who was quick to arm a bomb in an airship and managed a duel. Eventually Wax beat Edwarn, leaving him tied to the top of the temple’s Lord Ruler’s spear.{{book ref|mb6|30}}

Later, a [[kandra|Faceless Immortal]] with glowing red eyes visited him in prison and was impressed that he didn't give away any information. It then killed Edwarn and itself with an explosion just after stating: “You will be allowed to serve in another Realm.”{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}
