'''Zane Venture''' was a [[Allomancer|Mistborn]] on the planet of [[Scadrial]]. He was the illegitimate son of [[Straff Venture]] and the half-brother to [[Elend Venture]].

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
Zane
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}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
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}} He was one of the few Mistborn in the [[Final Empire]] who has access to [[duralumin]].
== History ==
}}
Zane's relationship with his father is somewhat antagonistic. Although Zane completes missions that Straff sends him on, he also commonly cuts himself in front of the man to make him uncomfortable--but he also does it in order to block out Ruin's telling him to kill Straff, as he believes that a man shouldn't kill his father.{{book ref|mb2|46}} Furthermore, he believes Ruin's voice to be an indicator of his own insanity, and therefore wouldn't trust himself to be in Straff's place. Despite this, he doesn't stop one of Straff's serving girls from attempting to poison the man, and he lets him assume that Zane poisoned him whenever Straff experiences the withdrawal symptoms of [[Black Frayn]].{{book ref|mb2|18}}
=== Amaranta ===
Amaranta is Zane’s lover, while also being a mistress to Straff Venture. She is a skilled herbalist, and gave Zane the idea to use Black Frayn on Straff.
During her affair with Zane, he would often cut her in the same way he cut himself, but he made her feel desirable again. Zane then became distant, and Amaranta blamed Straff.
