They were lead by [[Miles Dagouter]].{{book ref\|mb4\|11}} [[Tarson]] is second in command. They carried out a series of seemingly impossible train robberies, stealing cargo and kidnapping women. They also robbed a couple of high society gatherings, taking valuables and hostages. They attacked many trains, making the cargo disappear. They employed a number of novel technologies including a train equipped with a projection system. This was used to stop the oncoming train by appearing on a collision course. They then used a canal-based crane to steal the carriage and replace it with an empty replica. == History == They began train robberies in around {{date\|340\|FA}}-{{date\|341\|FA}}{{book ref\|mb4\|3}}. They first stole a shipment of [[aluminum]]{{cite}} before going to ground for four months,{{book ref\|mb4\|3}} presumably to smelt the aluminum into bullets and guns.{{cite}} Afterwards, they robbed six more trains, including two from House Ladrian{{book ref\|mb4\|2}} and some from House Tekiel.{{cite}} The first two were only cargo robberies, but they quickly progressed to also robbing a passenger car for valuables and one of their Allomancy-blooded targets. Four women were kidnapped in this manner.{{book ref\|mb4\|2}} However, as the high-class Allomancy-blooded targets the Set laid out for them stopped riding trains due to saftey concerns,{{cite}} they were forced to rob the [[Coolerim Playhouse]] to get their next target.{{book ref\|mb4\|2}} == Methods == The Vanishers would first stop the train by obstructing its tracks. They sometimes did this with a fallen tree, sometimes with a ghostly train coming the opposite direction.{{cite}} That particular illusion relied on a hand-powered train carriage with a false front and a powerful light attached to appear as the headlights. This light may have been battery powered. Once the train was stopped, they would use a barge-mounted crane in the neighboring canal to swap the target car for an empty replica.{{book ref\|mb4\|17}} In this way, they were able to steal the cargo without leaving forced locks or dead guards on the train once it arrived at its destination.{{book ref\|mb4\|2}} == Known Members == {{for\|:Category:Vanishers\|less information\|Category:Vanishers}} {{columns\|count=2\| * [[Miles Dagouter]] (leader) * [[Tarson]] (second in command) * [[Clamps]] (recruitment officer) * [[Push]] (Set agent working with the Vanishers) * [[Pull]] (Set agent working with the Vanishers) * [[Sindren]] (new agent) }} == Notes ==
