They were lead by [[Miles Dagouter]].{{book ref|mb4|11}} [[Tarson]] is second in command.{{cite}}
They carried out a series of seemingly impossible train robberies, stealing cargo and kidnapping women.{{book ref|mb4|3}} They also robbed a couple of high society gatherings, taking valuables and hostages.{{book ref|mb4|2}}{{book ref|mb4|5}}
== History ==
They began train robberies on the 14th of Vinuarch {{date|341|FA}} (early summer).{{book ref|mb4|3}} They first stole a shipment of [[aluminum]] from [[House Tekiel]] before going to ground for four months, presumably to smelt the aluminum into bullets and guns.{{book ref|mb4|3}}{{cite}} Afterwards, they robbed six more trains, including two from [[House Ladrian]].{{book ref|mb4|2}} The first and second shipments stolen after resurfacing were [[steel]]. Next they stole food, followed by more metals, including [[pewter]], [[iron]], [[zinc]], [[brass]], [[bendalloy]], and [[tin]].{{book ref|mb4|3}} The first three were only cargo robberies, but they quickly progressed to also robbing a passenger car for valuables and one of their Allomancy-blooded targets. Three women were kidnapped in this manner.{{book ref|mb4|2}}{{book ref|mb4|3}} However, as the high-class Allomancy-blooded targets the Set laid out for them stopped riding trains due to safety concerns,{{book ref|mb4|4}} they were forced to rob the [[Coolerim Playhouse]] to get their next target.{{book ref|mb4|2}}
The next target was the [[Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner]], with [[Steris]] and [[Marasi]] to be taken as the Allomancy-blooded captives. The Vanishers burst into the room as the meal was underway and systematically robbed each person of their valuable belongings. Afterwards, they loudly took the two predetermined captives. [[Peterus|Lord Peterus]], a retired constable, was vocal about his distaste for their actions, and Miles shot him. Shooting Lord Peterus provoked [[Wax]] and [[Wayne]] to intervene.{{book ref|mb4|5}} In the firefight that followed, Wax and Wayne rescued Marasi, killed 25 bandits, and temporarily incapacitated six others. Those six were later captured by the constables. Wax shot both Tarson and Miles but neither suffered significant damage from it and both escaped. No civilians died, although some suffered as badly as broken bones.{{book ref|mb4|6}}
The six bandits captured by the constables were kept at the [[Fourth Octant|Fourth Octant's]] constabulary precinct offices. The constables failed to get any useful information out of them, but Wayne (disguised as a constable) was more successful. After learning important information from [[Sindren]], Wayne told him to tell the cops everything he knew at nightfall.{{book ref|mb4|8}}
