"Bloody Tan" was a criminal living in the Roughs on Scadrial.
Before living in the Roughs Bloody Tan was a mortician in Elendel, moving to the Roughs slightly prior to the beginning of the book. Thereafter, several people start disappearing, including a mailman and a geologist. Both are later found dead in Bloody Tan's hideout with others, having been preserved and strung out in various positions resembling puppets.
Wax and Lessie were charged with bringing Tan to justice, and found him holed up in Feltrel. During a confrontation, Tan captured Lessie and used her as a human shield against an armed Wax. As Wax attempted to shoot Tan during the standoff, Tan somehow managed to pull Lessie in the path of Wax's bullet, killing her. Immediately thereafter, Wax shot and killed Tan.[1]
Bloody Tan seemed to be unhinged, and used human bodies pierced with metal as ornaments (or for some other purpose) in his lair. Due to these clues, it is possible that he knew something of Hemalurgy. In addition, the way that he was able to perform his "trick" of moving Lessie in the path of Wax's bullet indicates that he could have had some power related to the Metallic Arts himself.
Hideout
The entrance to Bloody Tan's hideout is in an old cold cellar behind the store. Connected to that is a long former smuggling tunnel, also Bloody Tan's gallery. The first body in the gallery is Geormin, the Coachman. Geormin had been mummified and propped up with wires. Being so grotesque that Wax promises to come back and cut him down. Farther down the tunnel is Annarel, who was preserved and hung on the wall in a pose. As if examining the rocks. There are six more corpses in the tunnel in various poses. One is in a chair, one is strung up as if flying, three are stuck to the wall, and the last is a slender man saluting. After that, a hole in the ceiling leads up into a church of the survivor. The hole comes out in the front of the church by four alters. The building is quite old and in disrepair. The roof is gone, and the benches and statues are strewn about.
