'''Wayne''' is a [[Twinborn]] on [[Scadrial]]; a [[bendalloy]] [[Misting]] (aka a [[Bendalloy#Allomantic_Use|Slider]]) as well as a [[gold]] [[Ferring]] (aka a [[Bloodmaker]]). He is a friend and colleague of [[Waxillium Ladrian]], and the duo worked together to solve crimes in the [[Roughs]]. Later, Wayne joined the [[Elendel]] constabulary as a detective.{{book ref|mb7|1}} When the [[Set]] tried to blow up [[Elendel]] with a bomb, Wayne sacrificed himself to stop the bomb and save the city. Wayne is extremely talented at disguises and uses one frequently. He is also often inappropriately joking or "trading" belongings without permission.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Wayne has little to no concept of boundaries and an almost pathological need to prove that he's not a bad person.{{wob ref|3988}} He is deeply troubled and has [[wikipedia: PTSD| PTSD]],{{wob ref|9201}} and did not cope well with the isolation he faced in the Roughs.{{wob ref|3988}} Wayne also has a problem with [[Wikipedia: kleptomania| kleptomania]]. This is seen in his multiple episodes of "trading" items of different value and then making up convoluted reasons for why this "trade" is acceptable.{{book ref|mb6|11}} Wayne often has trouble taking things seriously and often makes inappropriate jokes, especially around [[Marasi]].{{book ref|mb6|24}}{{book ref|aol|12}} However, he is sometimes capable of having a serious and helpful conversation.{{book ref|mb6|6}}

Wayne struggles with self-loathing, and sometimes thinks that he does more harm than he does good. He deeply regrets his mistakes in the past, and thinks himself to be beyond forgiveness.{{book ref|mb7|58}}

As a [[Bloodmaker]], Wayne can store health in his goldminds at the price of being unwell. He can tap into his stores later to heal wounds. As long as Wayne has an adequate storage of health, he can recover from any wounds that aren't immediately lethal, such as curing poison, regrowing fingers, and surviving bullet wounds. He prefers to fill his metalminds all at once by spending weeks sick in bed instead of traveling around while slightly sick. He often stores health whenever he has a hangover as he is going to have a horrible time of it anyway.{{book ref|mb4|10}}{{book ref|mb5|5}} He sometimes uses his ability as a Bloodmaker strategically, by pretending that a bullet has actually killed him or incapacitated him, in order to make enemies dismiss him as a threat in a fight. However, many who know of his abilities aren’t fooled by this trick.{{book ref|mb6|20}} He eventually

As a [[Slider]], Wayne can burn bendalloy to form a "speed bubble" around himself, speeding up time for anyone inside it.{{book ref|aol|2}} Once the bubble is made it cannot be moved, and Wayne can move about freely inside it, but if he leaves it, it will disappear. Anything moving from one side to the other, like a bullet, will be slightly thrown off course by the edge of the bubble. Using one nugget of bendalloy Wayne can compress two minutes of time into approximately fifteen external seconds. Wayne often

With Wax's return to the city, Wayne was left in charge of [[Weathering]], a small town out in the Roughs, appearing now on the trail of the Vanishers; an infamous gang of thieves renowned for their bizarre theatrics and efficiency.{{book ref|aol|2}}

Wayne infiltrated the Fourth Octant Constabulary, disguised as a constable, and interrogated a few of the captured Vanishers, pretending to be a Vanisher himself.

Wayne went to the temple of the Common Man, a location of a very loose religion revolving around [[Breeze]] and heavily involving alcohol. The temple was a bar, and many people in the place were morose or angry. Wayne cheered up everyone there by improving their beverages, and met [[MeLaan]]. They got off well, having a belching contest before Wax arrived and interrupted them. MeLaan filled them in on more details about Bleeder, saying that they needed to take out her spike, either manually or with a serum inside of a syringe that MeLaan gave to Wax.{{book ref|sos|13}} While Wax investigated

After Wax returned from his chase of Bleeder, having killed her and found out that she had been [[Lessie]] all along, Wayne tried to help his friend with his grief at having killed his wife a second time. He saw the daughter of [[Remmingtel Tarcsel]], the girl who slapped him at ZoBell’s party when he had pretended to be Hanlanaze. He talked to her, recognizing her father as the true inventor of the incandescent lightbulb, and offered her venture capital to help her fund her and her father’s inventions, to her extreme delight.{{book ref|sos|epilogue}}

Wayne and Marasi went to a bank, Wayne planning for them to pose as a rich lord and his niece. Marasi however, shocked Wayne by using her status as a constable to let them talk to the bank’s owner. Wayne swapped a rats tail with the man’s silver letter opener, and Marasi discovered than all of the city’s graveyard workers are crooked.{{book ref|mb6|11}} They went to a graveyard, and there Wayne disguised himself and Marasi, then talked to [[Dechamp]], the night gravekeeper. Wayne bribed the man into digging up ReLuur’s grave.{{book ref|mb6|12}} DeChamp however, sent his young assistant to alert members of the Set. A group of gunmen arrived, and opened fire immediately, accidentally killing Dechamp. Wayne and Marasi took cover in the freshly dug grave.
Both Wayne and Marasi worked together to trick [[Templeton Fig]], Dechamp’s boss. They caused him to think that he was being visited by [[Marsh|Death]], who was actually Wayne in disguise. Wayne learned from him that ReLuur’s spike had been sent to the small town of [[Dulsing]].{{book ref|mb6|15}} Wax returned from the party, giving Wayne an unkeyed metalmind with a lot of healing stored in it.{{book ref|mb6|17}}
==== The Sovereign’s Temple ====

They flew over Edwarn’s expedition, Wayne inadvertently alerting them by kicking a pack overboard when Telsin bumped into him. They arrived at the temple, finding the crashed wreckage of another South Scadrian ship. They found a statue of the Sovereign, who was holding a spear with a spearhead that they assumed to be aluminum. Wayne stole the spearhead, which unbeknownst to any of them, was the Bands of Mourning.{{book ref|mb6|23}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} There were many booby traps in the temple, and MeLaan walked through them all, triggering them but remaining unharmed. Wayne stayed behind with Marasi and Steris, and soon Edwarn came forward with a flag of parley.{{book ref|mb6|24}}
Wax took the Bands of Mourning from Marasi, who had already used them partially, and defeated Edwarn, though Telsin escaped. After negotiating a deal with [[Jordis]] and her people, Wayne rode back to Elendel with the others on the airship. He talked with Wax about shooting Telsin, and they soon arrived back at Elendel.{{book ref|mb6|30}}
In the following years, Wayne honed his skill with bendalloy, granting him more control over his speed bubbles.{{book ref|mb7|5}} He was able to do so due to becoming very wealthy from a series of high-risk investments, especially in [[Tarcsel Electric]].{{book ref|mb7|16}}
=== Investigating the Set ===
Six years after the recovering of the Bands, Wayne and Marasi attacked and subdued a group of criminals in Elendel, organized by the Set. Having honed his Allomantic skills over the past several years, Wayne was able to take out most of the criminals himself, while Marasi handled their leader.{{book ref|mb7|8}}

Shortly after, MeLaan met with Wayne, and broke up with him. She wanted to say goodbye before leaving to explore the cosmere, and complimented him as "the best lay" she'd ever had.{{book ref|mb7|12}} Wayne was emotionally crushed afterwards, and tried to drown his sorrows with liquor.{{book ref|mb7|14}} He also met with members of [[Call and Son and Daughters Accounting and Estate]] to discuss his finances, though he was reluctant to do so. Due to the encouragement of Ranette, Wayne arranged for the bank to handle his future money deliveries to Allriandre.{{book ref|mb7|16}}
Marasi planned a raid on a Set warehouse in Bilming, and Wayne, [[VenDell]], and a force of constables went with her. Wayne and VenDell impersonated members of the Set upon their arrival, and things went smoothly. However, the plan was ruined when the Bilming constabulary attacked the warehouse in a raid.{{book ref|mb7|21}} As chaos broke out and the fighting began, Wayne fought a Set member named [[Getruda]], who was made to be a rough copy of him in both powers and mannerisms.{{book ref|mb7|23}} Wax arrived and the fighting ended soon after, though Getruda escaped. The group was taken into custody, but was allowed to operate in the city if accompanied by a Bilming constable. The "constable" was [[Moonlight]], who Marasi knew but Wayne didn't. The three investigated [[Tobal Copper]], a man they knew to be involved with the Set's attempts to split harmonium to make a bomb.{{book ref|mb7|29}} They went to Tobal's apartment, where Wayne analyzed the room. He deduced that the Set killed Tobal to keep him quiet, but cleaned up the mess well. He concluded that they all should go to a disreputable broadsheet office whom he might've told about the Set's actions.{{book ref|mb7|30}} They found the broadsheet office that Tobal went to, and discovered that he told the proprietor, [[Maraga Dulcet]], everything.{{book ref|mb7|32}} They learned that the Set was trying to make a self propelled rocket to deliver a bomb to Elendel.{{book ref|mb7|33}} Telsin arrived, and Wax distracted her while everyone slipped away. Afterwards, Wax and Wayne went to search Entrone's office, with Wayne providing a distraction.{{book ref|mb7|41}} They explored an underground passage under Entrone's manor, and ran into [[Dumad]] and Getruda, the two Set agents. Wayne and Wax managed to defeat them, though Wayne lost a lot of his stored healing in the process.{{book ref|mb7|49}}

They arrived at the Set's laboratory too late as a convoy of trucks left. Wax chased them, but they destroyed most their important documents by the time Wax caught up with them.{{book ref|mb7|52}} Wax found some old-fashioned Roughs beer, and him and Wayne took some time to drink and relax atop a billboard. They talked about Wayne's past, and Wax tried to convince Wayne that he's a good person.{{book ref|mb7|58}}
=== Stopping the Bomb ===

}}
Wax figured out that the Set would be launching the bomb soon from the highest building in Bilming, the Shaw (named for being reminiscent of the spires of [[Kredik Shaw]]). The two fought their way up the tower, with Wax taking out most of the Set soldiers guarding the bomb. When they got to the top, Wayne convinced the last group of guards to put down their weapons and flee, rather than being killed. He reasoned that they were simply working, frightened, security guards who were unaware of the activities the Set were up to, rather than the committed Set soldiers Wax and he had just wiped out. They came across their doubles, Dumad and Getruda, and fought them one last time. Instead of fighting their own doubles, they decided to fight each other's.{{book ref|mb7|63}} Wayne was able to stay close to Dumad by grappling him, and getting Dumad to take them into the sky using a duralumin-enhanced Steelpush. He swiped the aluminum flask Dumad used to replenish his metals after using duralumin burned them away, denying Dumad the ability to Steelpush, causing them to fall a great distance, killing Dumad. Despite the satisfaction of defeating Dumad, Wayne was disappointed that they had fallen too fast for Wayne to say the witty remark he had come up with.{{book ref|mb7|65}} They discovered that the bomb atop the Shaw is a decoy, and that the real bomb is on a ship, already en route to Elendel.{{book ref|mb7|66}}
Wayne and Wax recovered hemalurgic spikes from the corpses of Dumad and Getruda and spiked themselves with them, giving Wayne the powers of a Coinshot, and allowing Wax to use duralumin and steel to fly them out to the ship where the bomb was. They cleared out the ship of enemies, but discovered that they couldn't disarm the bomb without it going off.{{book ref|mb7|71}} Wayne figured out a way to lessen the explosion using bendalloy and steel. Harmony spoke to him, and told him it could work. Knowing his plan wouldn't need Wax, Wayne used a Steelpush to send Wax flying off the ship. Wayne ingested a small bit of lerasium, originally given to Wax by Harmony, and goes down into the ship's hold to where the bomb is, which was composed of three barrel devices with explosives.{{book ref|mb7|71}}

Harmony told Wayne that messing with one barrel would cause the others to immediately go off. Before forming his speed bubble, Wayne pulled out and consumed every bit of bendalloy he had on his person - a total of ''seventeen'' pouches; an amount which astounded even Harmony. At Harmony's command, Wayne created a perfect speed bubble.{{book ref|mb7|71}}
{{image|Wayne's death by Diego López.jpeg|side=left|width=250px}}
He enclosed all three barrel devices, but excluded the device that coordinated the bombs' explosions. He burned duralumin and bendalloy at the same time, compressing time immensely within the bubble. One by one, he filled all three barrels with water and Pushed them outside the bubble, detonating the ettmetal inside. The bubble dropped, and Wayne was killed by the explosion.{{book ref|mb7|71}}
=== After His Death ===
{{quote

After his death, Wayne briefly spoke with Harmony before passing into the [[Beyond]]. He rejoiced in his victory, happy to have saved the world. After asking Harmony if MeLaan was telling the truth with her parting complement, Wayne asked Harmony if he made the biggest explosion that a person ever made, which Harmony confirms as correct. Satisfied, Wayne passed into the Beyond.{{book ref|mb7|74}} Wayne had various things put in his will, which were carried out after his death. He granted a large sum of money to both Ranette and Allriandre{{book ref|mb7|epilogue 5}}{{book ref|mb7|3}}, left his lucky hat to Marasi, and arranged for a variety of random objects to be discreetly delivered to Wax over time (one example of this is a stuffed frog being delivered to Wax two years after Wayne’s death).{{book ref|mb7|epilogue 7}} Two years after his death, a bronze statue was made of him and placed in the Field of Rebirth to honor his memory.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue 7}}
