===Appearance===
{{sidequote|That’s the part that doesn’t make sense. Everyone knows I’m irreparably handsome.| Wax{{book ref|mb4|15}}|right|250px}}
Wax is tall{{book ref|mb6|21}} with an intense face and eyes that are sometimes described to be as cold as icicles.{{book ref|mb6|21}}. Though the twenty years he spent living in the Roughs have taken their toll on his appearance{{book ref|mb6|21}}, leaving his hands calloused{{book ref|mb6|31}} and his dark hair streaked with gray, he still maintains the lean, muscular body of his youth.{{book ref|mb4|13}}. Accustomed to regularly sitting for a shave {{book ref|mb6|1}}, Wax still
In addition to his metalminds, a pair of [[iron]] bracers he wears on his upper arms typically hidden by the cuffs of his sleeves{{book ref|mb4|2}}, Wax favors wearing an [[aluminum]]-lined, Roughs-style hat, as well as a long, mistcloak duster over his fine city suit, vest, and cravat{{book ref|mb5|5}}. Wax tends to be unnaturally light on his feet, due to his habit of nearly constantly filling his metalminds with a small percentage of his weight.{{book ref|mb2|prologue}}

{{quote|His clothing was terribly dusty, but well tailored: a fine suit, a silver cravat at the neck, twinkling cuff links on the sleeves of his fine white shirt. He had cultivated a look that appeared out of place, as if he were planning to attend a fine ball back in Elendel rather than scrambling through a dead town in the Roughs hunting a murderer.|Wax tracks an outlaw{{book ref|mb4|prologue}}}}
===Personality===
Wax is temperamental{{book ref|mb6|21}}, rough around the edges and distrustful of modern noble society, disliking the "games" of the big city. He admires the simplicity of the Roughs, where trouble is solved quickly and one man with a gun can make a difference, contrasting the politics of Elendel, where the great houses hide their true intentions behind fake smiles and outright lies.
