History Characters / WaxAndWayne

* SexGod: According to [=MeLaan=], he was her "best lay ever."

* TheUltimateBlacksmith: Of the gunsmithing variety.

* BlessedWithSuck: As a Cadmium Misting, she can create a bubble of slowed time around herself (the exact opposite, power and metal-wise, as Wayne's TimeStandsStill ability). This ability is publicly perceived as so useless by Metalborn standards that Lord Harms advises her to act as if she has no powers whatsoever, but with CharacterDevelopment and some encouragement from Wax and Wayne, [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower she eventually finds a number of uses for it]].

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Her [[relationship with Wayne]]. She gently tells him that, despite her real affection for him, the six years they have spent together mean very different things for the two of them. It ultimately ends their relationship. [[spoiler: We later find out that this was less true and more wishful thinking. She is heartbroken after Wayne's death.]]

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Her relationship with Wayne. She gently tells him that, despite her real affection for him, the six years they have spent together mean very different things for the two of them. It ultimately ends their relationship. [[spoiler: We later find out that this was less true and more wishful thinking. She is heartbroken after Wayne's death.]]

* CrimefightingWithCash: Both of his metals and expensive, almost prohibitively so for his bendalloy. Fortunetly for him, he has rich friends and state sponsers. Once he's become SecretlyWealthy in ''Literature/TheLostMetal'' he's started buying tons of the stuff himself, to the point he's one of the few, if not only, Sliders to reach near-Savanthood.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Disguises himself as a woman at times, and gets into character without a problem. It's the reason why he's so comfortable with [=MeLaan=]'s GenderBender abilities - like her, he considers gender to be mostly a state of mind.

* BroughtDownToNormal: He's return to life didn't bring his Mistborn powers with it, and Hemalurgy doesn't work on him.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: He's a hero to Scadrial and a major ally in the fight against Trell/Autonomy, but as [[spoiler:Thaidakar]] he this in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''.

* UncertainDoom: It is mentioned in the epilogue of ''The Lost Metal'' that she vanished after using her Essence Mark and that the Ghostblood is trying to track her.

Silajana is an Aether, a crystalline entity that predates Adonalsium, and Pransava is their Aetherbound, an elderly gentleman. Their reason for joining Ghostblood is to gather allies to defeat the "dark Aether" that is infesting their world.

%%* BadassLongcoat: His mistcoat.

%%* HeartbrokenBadass: For most of the story.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Dies to save Elendel in ''The Lost Metal'']].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: It isn't obvious under his strange mannerisms and cheery attitude, but Wayne hates himself very much. Several of his best friends try to convince him that he's a much better person than he thinks he is.

* SexGod: According to MeLaan, he was her "best lay ever."

* SupremeChef: Literature/TheLostMetal reveals that he's a damn good pastry chef who enjoys cooking for people.

%%* EvilAllAlong: Revealed very shortly before his death.

%%* TheMole: For Mister Suit.

* TheMole: [[spoiler:Turns out to be a leader of the very group Wax is trying to take down.]]

%%* AristocratsAreEvil

* TheDreaded: As one would expect.

%%* FaceStealer

* ImaginationBasedPower: Pransava can use his Aether to create constructs of roseite, although this draws on his body's water reserves. On Scadrial, which lacks an innate Investiture field, this constructs must be touching his body lest they disintegrate.

* AmbiguousEthnicity: On Scadrial, because it is not her own world.
* CanonInmigrant: She is the protagonist of ''Literature/TheEmperorsSoul''.
* DeathOfPersonality: Her Elantrian Essence Mark can stick permanently, effectively killing Wan ShaiLu as a person.

* ExtremeOmniglot: Downplayed. She speaks at least six languages and considers using Connection-based translation cheating.

* ContinuityNod: She is the protagonist of ''Literature/TheEmperorsSoul''.

* ContinuityNod: She has already appeared in {{Literature/Elantris}}.

* TranslationMicrobes: They have a way to manipulate their Connection so that they can speak the language of the planet they are on.

[[folder:Codenames/Kaise

[[folder:Prasanva and Silajana

* MessianicArchetype: He is this for [[spoiler:Southern Scadrials, having taught them how to create unsealed brassminds and thus allowing them to survive the freezing temperatures that the Catecendre inadvertedly brought to their lands.

* TheRedBaron: His ImprobableAimingSkills and reputation in the Roughs earned him the nickname Dawnshot.

Kelsier, or someone imitating him extremely well, appears to have survived his apparent death in the original trilogy. See also ''[[Characters/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy Kelsier]]''

* TheGhost: [[spoiler:Kelsier's actions in the past (after the remaking of the world and his apparent death) drive most of the plot. But he only appears briefly as the source of a coppermind memory, and for most of the story they thought it was actually the Lord Ruler]].

* NotQuiteDead: Despite his apparent impalement and death, [[spoiler:he or someone imitating him saved the Southern people]]. ''Literature/MistbornSecretHistory'' implies that it's really him, having worked with Spook to return to life using Hemalurgy.

* Antrhropomorphic Personification; As the avatar of Autonomy, he values individualism, talent and the capacity to think with one's own head, which is why he begrudgingly respects Waxilium.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: He's a hero to Scadrial and a major ally in the fight against Trell/Autonomy, but as [[spoiler:Thaidakar]] he's the BiggerBad to Mraize in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tea, in all of its varieties.

[[folder:Mister Suit]]
!!Mister Suit / [[spoiler: Edwarn Ladrian]]

The man who helped finance the Vanishers, he is somewhat put off by the Masked Man's theatrics, but goes along regardless.

* FantasticRacism: He hates everyone who doesn't fit into his narrow view of what is right and proper. He hates poor people, non-nobles, people from outside Elendel, Terrisfolk... He even refers to the [[spoiler:southerners]] as savages despite the fact that he is stealing their superior technology.

* AllYourPowersCombined: As a Twinborn, he has one Allomancy power and one Feruchemy power. In particular, his Allomantic and Feruchemical powers synergize ''really'' well, with Allomantic steel allowing him to Push on metals based on his weight, and Feruchemical iron allowing him to manipulate his own weight. By storing weight to make himself lighter, he can push himself farther and faster, or on smaller bits of metal, than most Coinshots, and by tapping weight to make himself heavier, he can put more force behind his pushes. In the first book, he increases his weight so much a push basically flattens a building.

* AllYourPowersCombined: As a Twinborn, he has one Allomancy power and one Feruchemy power.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Disguises himself as a woman at times, and gets into character without a problem. It's the reason why he's so comfortable with [=MeLaan=]'s GenderBender abilities - like her, he considers gender to be mostly a state of mind.

** In ''The Lost Metal'' she reveals she has ''multiple'' plans for how to evacuate Elendel in case of varying types of disaster (earthquakes, fire, tsunamis etc.) but mentions there's still seven scenarios she hasn't got around to making plans for yet.

* SecretlyWealthy: In ''Literature/TheLostMetal'', his various very smart investments made him extremely rich, and he hates it. Especially considering the various investments were attempts to go broke that [[SpringtimeForHitler completely failed]] due to him misunderstanding what people would actually like.

* AscendedExtra: While never exactly an "extra", ''Bands of Mourning'' hugely expands her page time and role in the main plot, after spending most of the prior two books as a strictly supporting character and/or DamselInDistress.

* {{Expy}}: Bears a resemblance to Mr. Morton from {{Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest}}, an ordinary determined to progress with his railway, served by [[TheDragon a henchman]] with motives of his own and who [[ItsPersonalWithTheDragon has a past with the hero.]]
