He is [[Wax]]'s uncle, descendant of [[Breeze]] and [[Allrianne]], and was the High Lord of [[House Ladrian]] . {{book ref|mb4|3}} |
|||
⚫ | 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 hermitlike save for his letters to the broadsheets about political matters. {{book ref|mb4|Epilogue}} |
||
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. {{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} |
|||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | 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. {{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} |
||
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. |

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]]. |
|||
⚫ | |||
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}} |

Edwarn is [[Telsin]]'s uncle, and they both faked their death in the same carriage accident.{{book ref|mb4|3}} She is a member of the Set and had him join. She outranks him, and can give him orders.{{book ref|mb6|23}} |

⚫ | 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. {{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} |
||
Set bought a lot of House Tekiel's stock, believing Wax would survive them all and defeat the Vanishers. |
|||
⚫ | |||
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. {{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} |
