'''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.

While trying to stop the Set in Bilming, Wayne burns a small amount of [[lerasium]], making him a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]].{{book ref|mb7|71}}

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}}

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}}

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}}
