Later Captain Brettin was tricked into letting the Vanisher prisoners be interrogated by [[Wayne]], who was disguised as the fictional [[Wayne#Guffont Trenchant|Captain Guffont Trenchant]] from the [[Elendel#Seventh Octant|Seventh Octant]].{{book ref|mb4|8}} Due to Wayne's use of a time bubble in the interrogation room, Brettin missed Wayne's conversation with the suspect and believed that Wayne had failed to gather any usable information.
Some time after this, Captain Brettin was killed in an unrelated matter.{{qa ref|706|12|Brettin was killed towards the end of the book, but not in the storyline related plot.|date=Novemer 19th, 2011}} [[Harmony]], seeing an opportunity, sent [[TenSoon]], a [[kandra]], to retrieve Brettin's corpse and impersonate him.{{qa ref|706|9|Is Officer Brettin Tensoon at the end of the book?|date=November 19th, 2011}} Tensoon did not have the opportunity to observe Brettin prior to his death, and so it was an imperfect impersonation. Those who knew Brettin could detect something off about him. TenSoon used Brettin's bones to submit a backdated request to the Senate for a citywide deputized forbearance for Wax.{{book ref|mb4|20}} This freed Wax from any charges incurred during his investigation of the Vanishers, as well as granted him powers of investigation and arrest. He informed Wax of this action after Wax and Marasi's final confrontation with Miles. Afterwards, Brettin, still being impersonated by TenSoon, retired soon after Miles' execution,{{book ref|mb5|4}} and presumably his bones were laid to rest.
Due to Brettin's early retirement, the position of constable-general was open.{{book ref|mb5|4}} A former constable named [[Claude Aradel]] was appointed to the position. Aradel had retired because he had reached the silent ceiling of promotions a non-noble could receive. As ten years had passed since Aradel's retirement, attitudes had changed and it was considered less important for a man to have noble blood to hold a powerful position.
