History
He is Wax's uncle, descendant of Breeze and Allrianne, and was the High Lord of House Ladrian . [5] 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. [5] He was remembered as hermitlike save for his letters to the broadsheets about political matters. [4] He also confessed he had prepared Hinston to take over the Ladrians’ house but his disease was unfortunate and made him search for Wax instead. [6] It is later revealed that he was secretly transferring funds into the Set's bank account in preparation for his fake death and subsequent new life. His first goal was to doom House Tekiel. By funding the Vanishers in their robberies, the house owe payments on too many high-profile losses. These attacks, and the insurance claims, have devastated them and their financial integrity. Company shareholders have been selling their stakes for pennies. [6] He works with Bleeder when she tries to ruin Elendel. He briefly talks with Wax about this during a carriage ride.
During the search for the Bands of Mourning, Suit treks to the temple housing the bands. He gets defeated by Wax and is captured.
Later, a Set's Faceless Immortal with glowing red eyes visited him in prison and is impressed that he didn't give away any information. It then killed Edwarn and itself with an explosion, hinting that Edwarn might be needed on another planet.[1]
Relationships
Wax
As Wax's uncle, he understands his nephew very much to the point of nearly predicting his every movements.[citation needed] Because Hinston died, he searched for Wax to take over his fortune and estate after his death, hoping he had overcome his sense of morality. [6] As this was not the case, asked his butler to set a fire and kill Wax. He survived and understood that for someone who had been loyal to the family for so long, the only reason he could be so eager to kill him was that he was following his former master. That is how Wax finds out his uncle is still alive. [6] Set bought a lot of House Tekiel's stock, believing Wax would survive them all and defeat the Vanishers.
Telsin
He is also Telsin's uncle, but in the Set, he ranks lower than she. When faking his death, he also faked hers. He confirms Wax that she is alive at the train. [6]
Abilities
He is a Hemalurgist with three spikes, granting him the power of a coinshot[7], a bloodmaker[8], and a leecher[9] respectively.
Quotes
“ Money is meaningless; Only expectation has value as currency ”
