[[Waxillium Ladrian]] is a lawman of the [[Roughs]], the harsh outland far from civilized society where it is said honor goes to die. In the wake of his uncle's death, Wax is summoned back to [[Elendel]] to assume his duties as the lord of [[House Ladrian]]. Despite trying to acclimatise to the radically different lifestyle and settle down with an arranged marriage - [[Steris Harms]], daughter of Lord [[Jackstom Harms]], a wealthy but stern woman is to be married to Wax to secure a future for the both of their houses - Wax realises it's not in his nature to simply put down his guns. That's when an [[Wayne|old friend]] shows up with a proposition.

;Lord [[Jackstom Harms]]: The father of Steris and later revealed father of Marasi to a different woman. He accompanies Steris to her liaisons with Wax before she is kidnapped.
