;[[Waxillium Ladrian]]: He is the descendant of Breeze and an extremely powerful Twinborn. Returning to his estates in Elendel, after spending most of his life in the Roughs, Wax is set on assuming his duties to his house until a new threat emerges - one that very much pulls him into the fray.
 
;[[Wayne]]: Wax's smart-mouthed, talented partner and long time friend. Like his friend, Wayne is a Twinborn but he doesn't fight with guns like Wax.{{ref|b|mistborn4aol|c|10}} Instead using duelling canes and speed bubbles as his main strategy. He has a knack for impersonation and a penchant for "trading" items in others' possession with something of his own.
 
;[[Marasi Colms]]: The "cousin" of Steris Harms who is actually the illegitimate daughter of Lord Harms and, therefore, half-sister to Steris. She studies "legal justice and criminal behaviouristics"{{ref|b|mistborn4aol|c|4}} and is particularly interested in Wax and Wayne's exploits in the Roughs.
 
;[[Miles Dagouter]]: Also known as Miles "Hundredlives" is the primary antagonist in The Alloy of Law. Once an associate of Wax, his ideals have driven him to lead the Vanishers to their criminal behaviour. He is also a Twinborn, able to compound gold and appear as if immortal, hence his nickname.

;[[Trellism]]: Known adherents - [[Miles Dagouter]]
{{quote|Why had Trell made men like him, if not to see wrongs righted?|Miles, The Alloy of Law}}
:Little is known of the religion except that Trell is supposed to have made metalborns. The Words of Founding are said to contain a lengthy explanation of Trellism and its teachings, which indicates that metalborns were special.{{ref|b|mistborn4aol|c|11}} There are theories{{ref|17S|1808|5=Trellism; Why Miles sees metalborns as divine}} on the origins of this religion but most of what is known comes from Miles' perspective.
