Wayne's father was a [[Feruchemist]], and Wayne was aware of his abilities by the time he was sixteen, but never had access to any [[bendalloy]] or [[gold]]. Wayne had a natural talent for grabbing things without meaning to, and with encouragement from some friends he starting pick pocketing, and eventually robbed [[Durkel|a man]] at gunpoint.{{book ref|mb4|10}} He accidentally killed the man, and was easily caught by the local lawman [[Jon Deadfinger]]. At the trial he found out that the man he killed had been a bookkeeper, charity worker, and father of three. Wax saved Wayne from being hanged, though the details of how are unknown. Ever since the two worked together almost like a sheriff and deputy, becoming famous enough to be taught about in University. As a reaction to the death of the bookkeeper, Wayne became unable to hold a gun without his hands shaking, preferring to use dueling canes instead. He also began sending half of the money he made to the man's widow to help pay for her kids, one of whom was able to go to university. He visited [[Allriandre]], the eldest child, at the University on the first day of every month to give her "blood money," but she did not forgive him.{{book ref|mb5|5}}

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
