Hinston Ladrian is a minor, largely offstage figure in the Wax and Wayne era of the Mistborn series. In The Alloy of Law he is referenced as the man who was expected to take the title of his house, though he is afflicted with an unspecified disease. By Shadows of Self he receives only a passing mention under the name Hinston Ladrian, and the text offers no further account of his life, relationships, or fate. His significance lies mainly in what his absence implies about the line of succession of House Ladrian.
