'''Edwarn Ladrian''' also known as [[Mister Suit]] is the uncle of [[Waxillium Ladrian]], a member of high society in [[Elendel]] and a high ranked member of the [[Set]].
== Appearance and Personality ==
Edwarn Ladrian is a round-faced, stocky man distinguished by a short, precisely trimmed beard, a beautifully tailored suit, and a cravat so narrow and thin, it lay flat like a bowtie loosened at the end of a long night.
He is usually wearing an extremely stylish and expensive suit of black silk with a turquoise vest.{{book ref|mb4|11}}
He doesn’t like the smell of cigars.
Edwarn was very invested on the fortune of his house and had kept very good track of what his competitor houses had been shipping,{{book ref|mb4|3}} still he ended up spending it to fund the Set.
He is a follower of [[Trellism]] , a claim is made that he will deliver information to [[Wax]] in relation to these beliefs, after which [[Ironeyes]] delivers a book for [[Wax]]. When the red eyed [[kandra|Faceless Immortal]] comes to him he makes a claim stating that he will follow Trell.
== History ==
He is [[Wax]]'s uncle, descendant of [[Breeze]] and [[Allrianne]], and was the High Lord of [[House Ladrian]]
Before Edwarn faked his death, it was widely believed that he had wasted the family fortune through poor business deals while earning a meager sum betting on horse races.
It is later revealed he had prepared [[Hinston]] to take over the Ladrians’ house but his disease was unfortunate and made him search for Wax instead. He also confirmed that he was secretly transferring funds into the Set's bank account in preparation for his fake death and subsequent new life.
He managed to doom House Tekiel. By funding the [[Vanishers]] in their robberies, the house owe payments on too many high-profile losses. These attacks, and the insurance claims, have devastated them and their financial integrity. Company shareholders have been selling their stakes for pennies.
Edwarn and the [[Set]] wanted to breed Allomancers. He hired [[Miles]] and the Vanishers to capture women with correct powers to do so.
Wax figures out he is alive and used the alias of “Mr Suit”, Miles employer. He also decodes Miles his notes which tracked his moves. He finds his uncle does but has to let him go, as he has his sister captive.
He is later confirmed to be looking to start a rebellion in Elendel, creating chaos and profiting from it. Along with the Set they are developing higher technology that are still kept secret from the rest of the population; they are probably using it to create Allomancers as there is not time for breeding.
Edwarn, who was also looking for a weapon in the south, so he treks to the temple housing them. He tries to negotiate with Wax to help get them, and almost manages to kill him by using his sister [[Telsin]] as a mole who shot him.
As Wax gets the Band’s power and recovers, he confronts his uncle who was quick to arm a bomb in an airship and manages a duel. Eventually Wax beats Edwardn leaving him tied to the top of the temple’s Lord Ruler’s spear.
Later, a [[kandra|Faceless Immortal]] with glowing red eyes visited him in prison and is impressed that he didn't give away any information. It then killed Edwarn and itself with an explosion just after stating: “You will be allowed to serve in another Realm”{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}
== Relationships ==
=== Wax ===
As Wax's uncle, he understands his nephew very much to the point of nearly predicting his every movements.
Because Hinston died, he searched for Wax to take over his fortune and estate after his death, hoping he had overcome his sense of morality.
As this was not the case, and though he resisted killing him in the beginning
Set bought a lot of House Tekiel's stock, believing Wax would survive them all and defeat the Vanishers.
=== Telsin ===
He is also [[Telsin]]'s uncle, they both faked their death in the same carriage accident.
