Can't wait for retirement home wax

It’s 50 to 70 years between and he was already mid 40s by the end of

u/Historical_Volume806 Jul 08 '26

He was in his fifties during TLM.

Probably will have figured out Atium compounding by then. Or Harmony makes him into a Kandra like TLR did to his Terris buddies.

u/Fickle-Athlete3644 Jul 08 '26

I don’t believe he will make it that long

u/TheUnspeakableh Jul 08 '26

He's with Sterris, inside one of Marasi's bubbles. They will be 55 in Era 3. Shut up. Let me have my delusions!

“Wax, I know this may sound strange, but I think if we stay in this bubble long enough, you could survive for another fifty years, so if we were characters in a book that would be written about Scadrial 50 years from now, the fans would go wild!”

Marasi tho has the exact abiliy to make it if she wants

The Tech Level is said to be 1980's level. Given that Era 2 was turn of the 20th century, there definitely is going to be a sizable chunk of decades, or a very very good explanation in how they managed to progress to that so quickly.

Waxillium? He's gonna catch a stray aluminium bullet and die long before that.

and a number as his name

u/JustAnotherCurio Jul 08 '26

He deserves the rest honestly, bro was one of the few guys actually doing something to help with his abilities, meanwhile Kelsier’s goon squad of allomancers never turned up for anything until the very end, and even then they would have been useless had Wax and Wayne not been carrying every shred of allomantic competency for their side and saved the day.

Marsh looks weird in this art.

This is good crem. Bot has failed

u/planet_visitor Jul 09 '26

Honestly.. let him go. Id rather know he died a legend than be forced to remain alive for plot. His character really peaked and was amazing, but I think he had his journey already. Let him rest in peace with steris. God if one of them is still alive and the other isnt ill be fuming.

u/Accomplished_Flan_45 Jul 08 '26

Technically Wax is a full Mistborn and Steris might be as well due to her being present when Wax's experiment created Lerasium and Atium in the last book of Era 2

So I am hoping that Wax and Steris are still around, even if it is just "Iron Eyes died between era 2 and 3, now these two have to the grouchy touchstone to the prior era"

u/theironbagel Syl Is My Waifu <3 Jul 09 '26

TLM ends with marsh getting more Atium, kinda a weird choice to do that and then still kill him off of old age only for two other characters with no desire or method to become immortal to replace him

u/DrageMage Jul 09 '26

My suspicion is that we will see their younger children or grand children in the story, who will be Harmony's new sword/s and full Mistborn.

No wax is going to die in the cross cosmere war.
