== Historia ==
Several of the Vanisher robberies happened under Captain Brettin's watch.{{book ref|mb4|6}} He was under enormous pressure to capture the men responsible. Captain Brettin was one of the first responders to the attack on the [[Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner]] by [[Miles Dagouter]] and the Vanishers. He debriefed Wax after the fight and told him to stay out of police business and stop undermining his authority.
Later Captain Brettin was tricked into letting the Vanisher prisoners be interrogated by [[Wayne]], who was disguised as the fictional [[Wayne#Guffont Trenchant|Captain Guffont Trenchant]] from the [[Elendel#Seventh Octant|Seventh Octant]].{{book ref|mb4|8}} Due to Wayne's use of a time bubble in the interrogation room, Brettin missed Wayne's conversation with the suspect and believed that Wayne had failed to gather any usable information.
Some time after this, Captain Brettin was killed in an unrelated matter. [[Harmony]], seeing an opportunity, sent [[TenSoon]], a [[kandra]], to retrieve Brettin's corpse and impersonate him.{{wob ref|10001}} Tensoon did not have the opportunity to observe Brettin prior to his death, and so it was an imperfect impersonation. Those who knew Brettin could detect something off about him. TenSoon used Brettin's bones to submit a backdated request to the Senate for a citywide deputized forbearance for Wax.{{book ref|mb4|20}} This freed Wax from any charges incurred during his investigation of the Vanishers, as well as granted him powers of investigation and arrest. He informed Wax of this action after Wax and Marasi's final confrontation with Miles. Afterwards, Brettin, still being impersonated by TenSoon, retired soon after Miles' execution,{{book ref|mb5|4}} and presumably his bones were laid to rest.
Due to Brettin's early retirement, the position of constable-general was open.{{book ref|mb5|4}} A former constable named [[Claude Aradel]] was appointed to the position. Aradel had retired because he had reached the silent ceiling of promotions a non-noble could receive. As ten years had passed since Aradel's retirement, attitudes had changed and it was considered less important for a man to have noble blood to hold a powerful position.
Varios de los robos de los Desvanecedores ocurrieron bajo la vigilancia del capitán Brettin, que se encontraba bajo una enorme presión para capturar a los hombres responsables. El capitán Brettin es uno de los primeros en responder al ataque al [[banquete nupcial Yomen-Ostlin]] encabezado por [[Miles Dagouter]]. Sermonea a Wax después de la pelea y le dice que no se meta en los asuntos de la policía y que deje de socavar su autoridad.
