}}
Wayne's father was a [[Feruchemist]], and Wayne was aware of his abilities by the time he was 16, but never had access to any [[bendalloy]] or [[gold]]. Wayne had a natural talent for grabbing things without meaning to, and with encouragement from some friends he starting pick pocketing, and eventually robbed a man at gunpoint.{{book ref|mb4|10}} He accidentally killed the man, and was easily caught by the local lawman [[Jon Deadfinger]].  At the trial he found out that the man he killed had been a bookkeeper, charity worker, and father of three.  Wax saved Wayne from being hanged, though the details of how are unknown. Ever since the two have worked together almost like a sheriff and deputy, becoming famous enough to be taught about in University.  As a reaction to the death of the bookkeeper, Wayne is unable to hold a gun without his hands shaking, preferring to use dueling canes instead.  He also sends half of the money he makes to the man's widow to help pay for her kids, one of whom was able to go to university. He visits [[Allriandre]], the eldest child, at the University on the first day of every month to give her "blood money," but she has not forgiven him.{{book ref|mb5|5}}

Wayne spent much of his early adulthood as Wax’s partner, initially preforming smaller tasks like keeping an eye on [[Destroyer|Wax’s horse]]{{book ref|Sos|prologue}}, though eventually became more adept at fighting, and fought alongside Wax.{{cite}}

=== Investigating the Vanishers ===

With Wax's return to the city, Wayne was left in charge of [[Weathering]], a small town out in the Roughs, appearing now on the trail of the Vanishers; an infamous gang of thieves renowned for their bizarre theatrics and efficiency.{{book ref|aol|2}}
Wayne went to Elendel to meet up with Wayne again, intruding on a meeting with [[Jackstom Harms]] and posing as Wax’s uncle. He tells Wax in private about the Vanishers, trying to convince Wax to go after them.{{book ref|aol|2}}

Wax attended the [[Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner]], and Wayne went there disguised as a waiter.{{book ref|aol|5}} The Vanishers attacked, and Wax and Wayne were forced to fight. Together they manage to quell the Vanisher attack, the survivors fleeing, carrying off [[Steris]]. In addition, the bandit leader [[Tarson]] took Wayne’s lucky hat, infuriating Wayne.{{book ref|aol|6}}

Wayne infiltrated the Fourth Octant Constabulary, disguised as a constable, and interrogated a few of the captured Vanishers, pretending to be a Vanisher himself. Using his skill with accents and acting, he managed to find out the location of one of the Vanisher hideouts.{{book ref|aol|8}} Wayne met with Wax and Marasi at Wax’s mansion, and [[Tillaume|Wax’s butler]] tries to assassinate them, using a bomb. Wayne used his abilities as a Slider to give them time to react, and Wax used his feruchemy to allow them to escape the blast by falling through the floor. Wayne used himself as a human shield, able to heal himself using his own feruchemy.{{book ref|aol|9}} Using the information that Wayne had gathered, they investigated the Vanisher hideout. Though it was empty, Wayne found a cigar box that pointed them to [[Miles Dagouter]].{{book ref|aol|10}} 

{{image|Wayne by ShiroXIX.png |side=left|width=200px}}

While on a train ride to the Outer Estates, Miles attacked their train and Wax managed to fight him off.{{book ref|aol|13}} They visited [[Ranette]] for help, though Wayne received a cold reception, Ranette threatening to shoot them. Wayne bribed Ranette into letting them in, using an aluminum gun he’d stolen from the investigation scene at the wedding. Wax laid out a plan, and Wayne stole some shipping manifests.{{book ref|aol|14}} Later, at a train station, Wayne disguised himself as an old lady to discover more information about the [[Breaknaught]], a heavily protected train designed to withstand attacks from the Vanishers. Wayne and some others caused some chaos, faking an attack. Wayne used the chaos to throw a “wounded” Wax into the train car, then proceeded to lock the door.{{book ref|aol|16}}

Wayne and Marasi watched the train from a hillside one evening, and observed how the Vanishers pulled off their robberies, by using a piece of machinery to swap out the train car.{{book ref|aol|17}} While Wax attacked from within the train car, Wayne and Marasi followed to the Vanisher hideout to provide assistance. Wayne got into the thick of the fighting at the hideout alongside Wax, while Marasi acted as a sniper from above.{{book ref|aol|18}}

Towards the end of the fighting Tarson took Marasi hostage, Wayne threw up a speed bubble for Wax, who managed to pull off a near impossible shot to kill Tarson. Wax then had a close quarters fight with Miles, Marasi discreetly burning cadmium to give Wayne time to go alert the constabulary. The constables arrived in time, and managed to capture Miles through sheer numbers.{{book ref|aol|19}}

=== Chasing the Marksman ===
Some time after Miles’ capture, Wayne found Wax and told him the Marksman was on the move. They got in a motorcar with Marasi, and Wax then chased after the Marksman using Steelpushes. Wayne followed behind with Marasi, and the Marksman subsequently escaped into the slums.{{book ref|sos|2}} While Marasi and Wax went to go interrogate people, Wayne used his acting skill to join in with a group of poor men living in the slums. He followed one of the men to where Marks was hiding. He attacked the building and apprehended Marks. They were attacked as they left the slums, and Marks was shot.{{book ref|sos|3}}

=== Chasing Bleeder ===
Wax investigated a series of bodies at [[Winsting Innate|Lord Winsting]]’s manor, where a series of people were killed by a Steelrunner. Knowing that he’d likely need it soon, Wayne began storing up health. Wax wanted Wayne to got to [[The Village]], but Wayne had to preform a special task he always did on the first of the month. He went to [[Elendel University]], sneaking in to meet with [[Allriandre]], the daughter of the man he killed. He offered her the usual monthly stipend that he gives her, and she showed him the picture of her father, forcing him to once again recite his crimes. She once again told him that he isn’t forgiven, and Wayne left.{{book ref|sos|5}} Wayne and Wax visited the home of [[Idashwy]], a known Terris Steelrunner. They found her dead with a hole in her chest. Wax and Wayne determined that the killer used Hemalurgy to steel Idashwy’s Steelrunner abilities.{{book ref|sos|6}}

Wayne and Steris went to [[Lady ZoBell's party]], but were turned away by the bouncer. Wayne used his bend alloy to determine that they were on a list of people to be kept out of the party, a petty move by the governor’s bodyguard. Wayne decided to act the part of Professor Hanlanaze, a mathematics professor, to get into the party with Marasi as his assistant. A colleague recognized him, and he threw up a speed bubble while Marasi figured out how to respond to him. Wayne bluffed the man into a hasty retreat and concentrated on eating again.{{book ref|sos|9}} At the party a young woman came up to him and slapped him, saying that he stole an invention from her now-destitute father. Wax found a suspicious server and chased him, Wayne tackling him. Bleeder escaped, and Wayne stayed behind to protect the governor while Wax chased after Bleeder.{{book ref|Sos|10}} Wayne conducted an impersonation of the party staff, and concluded that the server Wax chased was not Bleeder, as the choice of impersonating a new waiter that nobody liked was too obvious.{{book ref|sos|12}}

Wayne went to the temple of the Common Man, a very loose religion revolving around [[Breeze]] and heavily involving alcohol. The temple is a bar, and many people in the place were morose or angry. Wayne cheered up everyone there by improving their beverages, and met [[MeLaan]]. They got off well, having a belching contest before Wax arrived and interrupted them. MiLaan filled them in on more details about Bleeder, saying that they needed to take out her spike, either manually or with a serum inside of a syringe that MiLaan gave to Wax.{{book ref|sos|13}} While Wax investigated Bleeder’s trail of clues, Wayne stayed to guard Governor Innate, later joined by MiLaan.{{book ref|sos|17}} Wayne bonded more with MiLaan during their time guarding Innate, Wax coaching her on her accents.{{book ref|sos|19}}

=== Rioting in Elendel ===
{{image|Wayne by GisAlmeida.jpg|side=right|width=200px}} 

Wayne went out into the streets to blend in with an angry mob surrounding a Survivorist priest, but Bleeder uses a syringe to reveal the priest as a Kandra. Someone in the crowd recognized Wayne, and he was forced to flee the scene.{{book ref|sos|20}} Upon returning to Innate’s manor, he heard Innate speaking and realized that the accent was off, revealing that he was Bleeder. {{book ref|sos|21}} Wayne investigated but got too close to the window, and Bleeder spotted him. She attacked him, getting his metal minds off, dragging him, and stashing him in the closet.

Wax later found him and rescued him before chasing off after Bleeder for the final time.{{book ref|sos|22}} Marasi decided that MiLaan should pose as the governor and give a speech to appease the rioting people of Elendel.{{book ref|sos|23}} Due to his wound from Bleeder’s attack, Wayne stayed onstage near MiLaan in case things went wrong.{{book ref|sos|24}} The speech didn’t work and the people began to riot. They stopped however, when [[Aradel]] puts MiLaan under arrest for corruption and takes control of the city, turning the crowds to his side.{{book ref|sos|26}} 

=== Death of Bleeder ===
After Wax returned from his chase of Bleeder, having killed her and found out that she had been [[Lessie]] all along, Wayne tried to help his friend with his grief at having killed his wife a second time. He saw the daughter of [[Remmingtel Tarcsel]], the girl who slapped him at ZoBell’s party when he had pretended to be Hanlanaze. He recognized her father as the true inventor of the incandescent lightbulb, and offered her venture capital to help her fund her and her father’s inventions, to her extreme delight.{{book ref|sos|epilogue}}

=== Search for the Bands ===

|Gonna go get smashed till I can’t piss straight. Happy weddings ‘n stuff
|Wayne’s note to Wax{{book ref|bom|1}}
}}
Wax and Steris were scheduled to have their wedding in a Survivorist church, and Wayne sent a note to Wax telling him he wouldn’t be there. Wayne had “the lads” sabatage the wedding, telling them to flood the church. They toppled an entire water tower to flood the church, and Wayne didn’t expect them to go so far. He faked being a head chef for the wedding feast, ordering around young assistants until Marasi came to reprimand him. They talked, and Wayne decided at the end of the conversation to give up on Ranette and move on.{{book ref|Bom|2}}

VenDell, a sixth generation Kandra who wanted to meet with Wax, decided to talk with Marasi instead. Wayne invited them over to Wax’s mansion, along with MeLaan. Wax arrived, and VenDell told them about the nature of Identity and INvestiture, and of the possibilities of [[Feruchemy#Unkeyed Metalminds|unkeyed]] and [[Feruchemy#Unsealed Metalminds|unsealed]] metalminds.{{book ref|Bom |2}} Wayne went for a stroll through Elendel, and met Ranette to tell her that he was giving up on her.{{book ref|bom|4}}

Wayne, along with Wax, Marasi, Steris, and MeLaan, traveled to New Seran. Wayne enjoyed talking with people on the train and learning new accents. He also chatted with Marasi, Marasi asking him about being in Wax’s shadow.{{book ref|bom|6}} Wayne and MeLaan found a luggage compartment in the floor, and were making out for the rest of the train ride, MeLaan topless. Though the [[Nightstreet Gang]] attacked the train, Wayne and MeLaan were too distracted to realize it. They only found out only afterward when Wax found them, fearing that something had happened to Wayne. Marasi was outraged at their behavior, but Wayne and MeLaan weren’t embarrassed.{{book ref|bom|9}}

==== New Seran ====
The group arrived in New Seran, and they went to their hotel. Between Steris’s list of possible disasters, Wayne’s trading of objects, and MeLaan’s strangeness, [[Aunt Gin|the hotel owner]] was quite alarmed. Since Wax doubted Wayne’s usefulness at [[Kelesina Shores's party]], Marasi borrowed Wayne to go dig through graves for ReLuur’s spike.{{book ref|bom|10}}

{{sidequote

Wayne and Marasi went to a bank, Wayne planning for them to pose as a rich lord and his niece. Marasi however, shocked Wayne by using her status as a constable to let them talk to the bank’s owner. Wayne swapped a rats tail with the man’s silver letter opener, and Marasi discovered than all of the city’s graveyard workers are crooked.{{book ref|bom|11}} They went to a graveyard, and there Wayne disguised himself and Marasi, then talked to [[Dechamp]], the night gravekeeper. Wayne bribed the man into digging up ReLuur’s grave.{{book ref|bom|12}} DeChamp however, sent his young assistant to alert members of the Set. A group of gunmen arrived, and Wayne and Marasi took cover in the freshly dug grave. DeChamp was killed in the crossfire, and Wayne fought back against the gunmen, defeating several and causing the rest to retreat. Afterward, he went to the graveyard building, and found both Dechamp’s ledger and his stash of booze.{{book ref|bom|14}}

Both Wayne and Marasi worked together to trick [[Templeton Fig]], Dechamp’s boss. They caused him to think that he was being visited by [[Marsh|Death]], who was actually Wayne in disguise. Wayne learned from him that ReLuur’s spike had been sent to the small town of [[Dulsing]].{{book ref|bom|15}} Wax returned from the party, giving Wayne an unkeyed metalmind with a lot of healing stored in it.{{book ref|bom|17}}

==== Dulsing ====
{{quote
|You can throw your wooden teeth at ‘em. Do some cane wagging as well. I’m sure you’re cross about stayin’ up so late.

}}

The group traveled by carriage to the small town of Dulsing, which has been turned into a huge construction site for some huge project. The area was well guarded, and Wayne has Wax Push him by his belt beyond the guarded border. Wayne used his healing to recover, then knocked out the power for the floodlights. Marasi, MeLaan, and Wax snuck in, and Wayne and Wax went to find Mr. Suit and Telsin.{{book ref|bom|17}}

Wayne and Wax found Telsin in a guarded room,{{book ref|bom|18}} and Wayne distracted the guards so that Wax could rescue her. The guards spotted them, and a massive firefight broke out. Swarms of soldiers and kill squads attacked, knowing not to stop firing at Wayne even when he feigned being down. Wax, Wayne, MeLaan, and Marasi fought back with difficulty, and eventually escaped into the massive ship at [[Allik]]’s urging. They went into a secret compartment, and Allik gave them weight-storing medallions, which Wayne and the others filled with weight. At Allik’s instruction, Wax Pushed the small aircraft into the air.{{book ref|bom|20}} They escaped Dulsing, picking up Steris on their way out. They headed towards the [[Kelsier|Sovereign]]’s temple, where the Set was going. On the ride there, Allik told them about himself, Southern [[Scadrial]], the Sovereign, and the Bands.{{book ref|bom|21}}

==== The Sovereign’s Temple ====
They flew over Edwarn’s expedition, Wayne inadvertently alerting them by kicking a pack overboard when Telsin bumped into him. They arrived at the temple, finding the crashed wreckage of another South Scadrian ship. They found a statue of the Sovereign, who was holding a spear with a spearhead that they assumed to be aluminum. Wayne stole the spearhead, which unbeknownst to any of them, was actually the Bands of Mourning.{{book ref|bom|23}}{{book ref|bom|28}} There were many booby traps in the temple, and MeLaan walked through them all, triggering them but remaining unharmed. Wayne stayed behind with Marasi and Steris, and soon Edwarn came forward with a flag of parley.{{book ref|bom|24}}

With Edwarn claiming to know how to open the locked door at the end of the temple and Edwarn having the small group outnumbered, they were at an impasse. Wax brought Edwarn and the others to the door, which Edwarn helped Wax open. Inside there was an empty pedestal, with broken glass but no Bands.{{book ref|bom|25}} Telsin betrayed them, attacking along with Edwarn. They used an allomantic grenade and wiped Wayne and Marasi’s allomantic reserves, and Wax was shot badly. With Edwarn and Telsin having allomantic powers granted through [[Hemalurgy]] and the element of surprise, Wayne and the others were outmatched. Wayne escaped the room, though the others were captured.{{book ref|bom|26}} 
{{sidequote
|No.''No.'' I can’t do this without you.

}}
Wayne fell down a pit filled with spikes, but healed. He found Wax in a cave, who was trapped under a huge piece of rock. Wayne fought Edwarn, who fled. Wayne tried to free Wax but couldn’t, and wept as Wax died.{{book ref|bom|27}} After Telsin took MeLaan’s spikes, turning her into a [[mistwraith]], Wayne found her and shot her in the face with Wax’s shotgun. He knew her gold metalminds would heal her, but it is unclear wether his surmounting of his gun-phobia was temporary or not. He retrieved both MeLaan’s spikes, and ReLuur’s spike. He then used MeLaan’s spikes to restore her to consciousness.{{book ref|bom|29}}

Wax took the Bands of Mourning from Marasi, who had already used them partially, and defeated Edwarn, though Telsin escaped. After negotiating a deal with [[Jordis]] and her people, Wayne rode back to Elendel with the others on the airship. He talked with Wax about shooting Telsin, and they soon arrived back at Elendel.{{book ref|bom|30}}
