== History ==
By {{date|342|PC}}, the Nightstreet Gang was a known and established gang in the area around Ironstand, though the [[Elendel]] constabulary did not seem to be particularly aware of them. They typically targeted cities in or near the [[Roughs]], though [[Matieu|Constable Matieu]] of Ironstand felt they were getting bolder and beginning to hit targets closer to the center of the [[Elendel Basin]], likely because there were not enough resources available for them to take in the areas closer to the Roughs. They are led by [[Donny]], a [[koloss#After the Ascension|koloss-blooded]].{{book ref|mb6|9}} They do not wear masks, likely because they are already known criminals and have nothing to lose.{{book ref|mb6|7}}
In Cladence of {{date|342|PC}}, [[Kelesina Shores]]—at the direction of [[Edwarn Ladrian]]—hired the Nightstreet Gang to attack [[Waxillium Ladrian]] in the hopes of distracting him from his pursuit of the [[Set]].{{book ref|mb6|15}}{{book ref|mb6|16}} The gang did so, attacking the train that he, [[Wayne]], [[Steris]], [[Marasi]], and [[MeLaan]] were taking to [[New Seran]] shortly before it reached Ironstand.{{book ref|mb6|7}}{{book ref|mb6|8}} The gang was well-equipped for this attack; they used a chemical weapon to incapacitate the guards protecting an [[House Erikell|Erikell]]{{book ref|mb6|9}} payroll shipment, had something similar to gas masks to protect themselves and a [[Coinshot]], who broke open the armored cargo car and fought Wax,{{book ref|mb6|7}} attempted to use dynamite to blow up the train's coal tender,{{book ref|mb6|8}} and were accompanied by [[Irich]] of the Set, who used a [[primer cube]] to disable Wax's Allomancy.{{book ref|mb6|7}}{{book ref|mb6|18}}
Despite these resources, however, the gang seemed to be unaware of the true purpose of their mission, as they attacked the entire train, focusing on securing the Erikell payroll shipment, rather than attacking Wax specifically.{{book ref|mb6|7}} Indeed, they seemed surprised at Wax's presence and their tactics suggest they were expecting his car to be full of rich people who would easily turn over money rather than Allomancers.{{book ref|mb6|9}} They also seemed to be inexperienced at robbing trains; rather than forcing the train to stop, they attack it from horseback, as if they are more familiar with how train robberies happen in stories than in reality.{{book ref|mb6|7}}
As a result of their inexperience at robbing trains and lack of preparations for enemy Allomancers, the attack went incredibly poorly for the gang. Though some members did manage to successfully escape with the Erikell payroll early in the fight and others, including Irich, escaped by jumping into a river next to the tracks,{{book ref|mb6|7}}{{book ref|mb6|8}} Constable Matieu believed that over half the gang was killed or captured and that the captured members will give him a good lead on the rest of the gang.{{book ref|mb6|9}}
