Vanishers
The name the broadsheets are using for a large, well-funded gang stealing entire freight-car contents off Elendel's railways without breaking the locks — and, more recently, robbing passenger cars and taking women hostage. A phantom railcar appears on the tracks to stop the train; by the time it reaches its destination one of its cars is empty. MB2:AoL:Ch 2
Known facts
- funded-and-directed-by-mister-suitAre funded and effectively directed by Mister Suit — a renounced-title nobleman who keeps an office at the new hideout, plans the heists, and tells Miles in so many words that the planning is Suit's job and the execution is his. The aluminum, the kidnap targets, even the schematics for the next freight car all come from Suit.MB2:AoL:Ch 11
- insurance-fraud-coverWere a cover for an insurance-fraud play against House Tekiel — security and insurance was Tekiel's main business. Edwarn Ladrian tells Wax on the train that the goods only ever needed to disappear temporarily; the resulting claims have driven Tekiel's stock to pennies, and the Set has quietly purchased their debt and seized one of the city's most powerful financial houses.MB2:AoL:Epilogue
Events
- MB2:AoL:Ch 19 Swarm the building's halls with aluminum guns; killed in waves by shotgun fire, Pushed nails, and the building's collapse.
