== Appearance and Personality ==
Zane shares certain phenotypic characteristics with his family such as brown curly hair, which he tends to keep shorter than his brother. He has a wiry build with a narrow face and is of medium height. He often wears all black and, despite being a Mistborn, does not wear a mistcloak.{{book ref|mb2|17}} Zane had a difficult childhood, as Straff kept his existence secret due to his [[skaa]] lineage. Because of his harsh upbringing, Zane has an unstable personality, and engages in dysregulated behavior, such as cutting himself.
 
Zane is a powerful Mistborn, the strongest [[Vin]] has met since [[Kelsier]]. This is, in part, thanks to a steel [[Hemalurgic]] spike in his heart, which grants him great precision when using [[Allomantic]] [[steel]].{{wob ref|5668}} However, a consequence of this spike is that Ruin can speak with Zane, and often tells him to kill everyone around him, leading Zane to believe he is insane. Zane refuses to let his insanity control him and he resists following Ruins orders.{{book ref|mb2|18}}
 
Without Ruin's influence, Zane would have been less crazy but more ruthless, much like his father,{{wob ref|1412}} and would have been more similar to Kelsier.{{wob ref|4374}}

Zane visited Vin one last time to try and persuade Vin to leave with him, promising they could go wherever she wanted. Conflicted, Vin began to follow Zane before deciding that leaving was the wrong choice. She attempted to voice her concerns to Zane, however, he became filled with rage and attacked her, using atium to give himself an advantage. Several times throughout their fight, Zane repeated that Vin was supposed to save him, presumably from his insanity and Ruin’s voice. In the end, Vin used Zane's reactions to her atium shadow to give herself two atium shadows (as Zane's actions changed the future he saw thanks to atium) and stabbed him in the neck, killing him.{{book ref|mb2|47}} Before he died, Ruin revealed to Zane that he was never insane.
