The '''Vanishers''' are a criminal gang on [[Scadrial]].
The Vanishers would first stop the target train by obstructing its tracks.{{book ref|mb4|3}} This would always occur at a position where the rail line came close to the canal it was built next to.{{book ref|mb4|11}} Earlier robberies would accomplish this with a fallen tree, later they would employ a ghostly train coming the opposite direction.{{book ref|mb4|3}} That particular illusion relied on a hand-powered train carriage with a wooden train engine facade and a powerful light attached. This light may have been battery powered. [[Mist]]s would help obscure the fake engine to aid the illusion. Once the train is stopped, they wold 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 are 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}}
When they rob high society gatherings, they do so methodically, even making people speak to check for jewelry hidden inside of their mouth. Tarson and Miles give instructions. They attempt to conduct the robbery without provoking violence, but they take a
The Vanishers, except for Miles, do not mask their faces. They wear loose buttoned shirts, slacks, and vests. Wax describes them as not particularly well dressed.{{book ref|mb4|5}} They use a mix of rifles and pistols,{{book ref|mb4|5}} including aluminum ones with matching aluminum bullets.{{book ref|mb4|15}}{{book ref|mb4|6}}
=== Early Robberies ===
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}}{{book ref|mb4|15}} Afterwards, they robbed six more trains, including two from [[House Ladrian]] and four more from House Tekiel.{{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 after coming back were only cargo robberies, but they quickly progressed to also robbing a passenger car for valuables and some of their Allomancy-blooded targets. They took two captives on their seventh overall train robbery.{{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, [[Armal Harms]].{{book ref|mb4|2}}
=== Yomen-Ostlin Wedding Dinner ===
Once the Vanishers had some of their number taken captive they quickly evacuated their previous base of operations, a foundry in [[Longard]].{{book ref|mb4|8}}{{book ref|mb4|10}} They set a few explosive traps as they left in the hopes of catching Wax and Wayne in them, which [[Clamps]] assured Miles were foolproof,{{book ref|mb4|11}} but the pair of lawmen easily disarmed them all.{{book ref|mb4|10}} They took all of the forging equipment with them to their new underground base of operations, leavng behind only the explosives, some furniture, an empty box of cigars, and some nudes.{{book ref|mb4|10}}{{book ref|mb4|11}}

After this failure, Miles once again met with Suit. Suit revealed that the robbery of the Breaknaught was to be the last before the Vanishers went to ground for six months for recruitment. He directed Miles to kill Wax during the robbery, as both men expected Wax to interfere. Steris was to be kept at the new base as bait, while the other captives were presumably moved elsewhere by the Set. Suit assigned [[Push]] and [[Pull]], two Set Allomancers, to Miles to ensure he carried out the operation successfully. Half the aluminum from the Tekiel robbery was to be taken by the Set to fund their own operations, with the rest being kept by the Vanishers. After this conversation, Suit left the city. Preparations for the Breaknaught robbery continued.{{book ref|mb4|15}}
