=== Bleeder ===

Newly rescued, Steris suggested to Wax that their shared ordeal afforded the two of them an opportunity to speed up their marriage contract and announce their engagement much sooner then previously planned. Initially hesitant, Wax agreed that the couple should move forward with Steris' suggestion, endeavoring to push away any potentially romantic thoughts of Marasi and bury his painful memories of Lessie.

 

 

Needing time to think, Wax rode alone in his carriage, driven by [[Hoid]]. Casually musing upon whether his [[Pathian]] earring may have once been a Hermalurgic spike, Wax placed it into his ear. Immediately, Harmony spoke to Wax directly, careful to reassure him that he had not gone insane. Harmony admitted that the earring was a spike, which was the reason they were able to converse. Additionally, Harmony explained that Wax’s earlier sightings of Bloody Tan were real and not imagined, though the murderer Wax had been chasing all this time was not a man, but actually a [[Faceless Immortal]] using Tan’s bones, named [[Bleeder]].{{book ref|mb5|7}}

While attending Lady ZoBell’s party with Steris, Wax met the Faceless Immortal, [[MeLaan]], sent to help in the hunt for Bleeder by Harmony himself. In between chats with various nobility of the city, Wax began to hear a new voice in his head, mocking him and the people of Elendel. Wax soon realized he was hearing the voice of Bleeder, who had somehow learned to use the same Hermalurgic connection to him that Harmony had.{{book ref|mb5|9}}. Using their connection to discover Bleeder’s location at the party, Wax attempted to apprehend her, giving chase out a window and through the Mists of the city outside.{{book ref|mb5|10}}
