Zane first appears as The Watcher to [[Vin]], a dark figure that follows her around the city. Later Zane’s character is revealed as he comes to the city with a message from Straff. It becomes known that Zane is Straff’s mistborn in his army against Luthadel as well as Straff’s son.
Although Straff is Zane’s father, Zane frequently “poison’s” him, providing the assassination attempts Straff expects. After each “attempt”, Straff calls for his former mistress, [[Amarenta]], to provide the antidote to the poison. {{book ref|mb2|18}} Zane, however, was the lover of Amaranta and had convinced her to only make him think the constant poisonings were taking place.
Throughout the story, Zane attempts to convince Vin that she does not belong in Elend’s world, and instead should run away with him. As an attempt to further convince her, he sends several of Straff’s allomancers in an attack against Vin and Elend during an assembly meeting meant to determine the future kingship in Luthadel. Zane later approaches Vin regarding the attack and tells her [[Cett]] had sent the assassins and that she should seek revenge with the help of himself. The two descend upon Keep Hasting where a group of Cett’s army was staying. The two combined kill 300 of Cett’s 1000 men at the manor. Filled with presumed adrenaline and Ruin’s intrusive voice, Zane is prepared to kill Cett after Vin’s hesitation, but she is able to persuade him to do otherwise.
