Wayne's father was a [[Feruchemist]], and Wayne was aware of his abilities by the time he was 16sixteen, 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}}

Wax investigated a series of bodies at [[Winsting Innate|Lord Winsting]]’s's manor, where a series of people were killed by a Steelrunner.

Wayne used his bend alloybendalloy to determine that they were on a list of people to be kept out of the party, a petty move by the governor’sgovernor's bodyguard. Wayne decided to act the part of Professor Hanlanaze, a mathematics professor, to get into the party with Marasi as his assistant.

}}
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 Bleeder’sBleeder's trail of clues, Wayne stayed to guard [[Replar Innate|Governor Replar Innate]], later joined by MeLaan.{{book ref|sos|17}} Wayne bonded more with MeLaan during their time guarding Innate, coaching her on her accents.{{book ref|sos|19}}

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. DeChampMarasi supposed that the gunmen were so scared of Wayne's reputation that they had not waited for Dechamp to get clear preferring to kill Wayne without any chance for him to fight back; Wayne was killedimmensely inpleased at the crossfire,thought andthat he was so feared by the criminals. Wayne and Marasi fought back against the gunmen, defeating several and causing the rest to retreat. Afterward, he went to the graveyard building, and found both Dechamp’s ledger and his stash of booze.{{book ref|mb6|14}}
 
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}}

|Wayne convincing the Set soldiersguards to flee{{book ref|mb7|63}}
}}
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 guardsSet 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 steelpushSteelpush. He swiped the aluminum flask Dumad's metalused vialsto 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 gave themselvesrecovered 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 steelpushSteelpush 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}}
{{sidequote
|Hold on to your robes, my dear friend. This is going to be unlike anything you have ever seen before, I think.

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, Wayne briefly spoke with Harmony before passing into the [[Beyond]]. He rejoiced in his victory, happy to have saved the world. HeAfter 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}}
