The Nightstreet Gang is a criminal organization that operates near Ironstand and in the surrounding area. Their targets are usually cities in or near the roughs.[1]
History
The Nightstreet Gang robs a train that Wax, Wayne, Steris, Marasi, and MeLaan are riding to New Seran. The attack takes place on the train line before the town of Ironstand.[1] The motive of this robbery is mainly financial: the target of the heist is the bank car present on the train.[2] However, the gang was actually hired by Kelesina Shores to attack the train in order to distract Wax from his mission.[3] Edwarn Ladrian was the mastermind behind this plan.[4] The gang is assisted directly by Set member Irich, who provides them with Primer Cubes.[2][5] In order to escape the train safely, the Gang throws Irich off the train into a river directly next to the tracks.[6]
The Gang they appears to be unaware of the details of their mission. First, they attack the entire train, not just Wax's car.[2] Second, they were surprised at Wax's presence on the train, given their lack of anti-allomancer battle tactics.[1] Additionally, they are inexperienced at robbing trains, according to Wax. Instead of forcing the train to stop in order to board, they attack on horseback.[2]
The gang's resources are substantial. They use a chemical weapon in order to remove resistance from the train's bank car, and are equipped with what appear to be gas masks in order to protect themselves.[2] Additionally, they employ at least one metalborn: a Coinshot takes part in the heist, breaking into the armored train car and fighting Wax directly.[2] Despite all of this, they do not wear masks to protect their identities, another clue that they were hired by someone.[2]
The Gang is left decimated by this attack. Despite successfully escaping with their ill-gotten gains, Constable Matieu claims that half of the attackers were killed or captured by Wax.[1]
