By {{date|342|PC}}, the Nightstreet Gang was a known and established gang in the area around Ironstand, though the [[Elendel]] constabulary did not seem to be particularly aware of them. They typically targeted cities in or near the [[Roughs]], though [[Matieu|Constable Matieu]] of Ironstand felt they were getting bolder and beginning to hit targets closer to the center of the [[Elendel Basin]], likely because there were not enough resources available for them to take in the areas closer to the Roughs. They are led by [[Donny]], a [[koloss#After the Ascension|koloss-blooded]].{{book ref|mb6|9}} They do not wear masks, likely because they are already known criminals and have nothing to lose.{{book ref|mb6|7}} |

Despite these resources, however, the gang seemed to be unaware of the true purpose of their mission, as they attacked the entire train, focusing on securing the Erikell payroll shipment, rather than attacking Wax specifically.{{book ref|mb6|7}} Indeed, they seemed surprised at Wax's presence and their tactics suggest they were expecting his car to be full of rich people who would easily turn over money rather than Allomancers.{{book ref|mb6|9}} They also seemed to be inexperienced at robbing trains; rather than forcing the train to stop, they attack it from horseback, as if they are more familiar with how train robberies happen in stories than in reality.{{book ref|mb6|7}} |
