Whatever happened to that kid in the bunker? You know, the skinny one with all the twinkies? It doesn’t even make sense. Sparking grasshopper of a kid and all he does is eat twinkies all day?

—Hershel[1]

Wade is a Reckoner. He takes part in the invasion of Lux alongside Jax. He has primarily computer-focused skills, which he uses to hack into Lux’s security systems. He loves video games, and isn't very useful in a fight. Prior to being recruited into the Reckoners, he spent several years in his bunker.[1]

He has a peppy, cheerful attitude, and is easy going and lax.[2]

History

Early Years

Prior to being invited to join the Reckoners, Wade stayed in his bunker for a few years, often passing the time by playing video games. At some point, an Epic named Electrodyne caused all of his video games to be deleted from his computer, though Wade was able to find copies of most of them.[3] He often petitioned the Reckoners, asking to join their ranks, but was always denied.[1]

Joining the Reckoners

After the disaster at Arlington, the surviving Texas Reckoners needed a tech expert to help with the eventual infiltration of Lux. They remembered Wade, and invited him to join them. He showed up at the Coop, but had absolutely no combat training. Jax trained him in the basics, and they also worked on motivators a bit together.[1] Wade later takes part in the trap in Galveston, and is with Briggen when he gets his face mangled by shrapnel.[4] Though the other Reckoners, especially Hershel, are originally annoyed by him, he earns their favor after he hacks into a pizza order and brings them several pizzas.[3]

Wade was part of the team that infiltrated team. When the team climbed the ladders into Lux, Hershel made Wade go first, so that he could set the pace that all of them could follow. During the operation to attach the Wingflare motivator to the power grid, Wade worked to give advance warning when Ravens came. When Briggen betrayed them, Wade was captured by Lifeforce along with his fellow Reckoners. Jax broke them out soon after, and Wade hacked into the palace security to find out where Ravens were patrolling. He used that to design an algorithm that got them safely to Parik’s lab without being seen.[5] Once inside the lab, Wade hacked into the drawer system, opening the drawers that Jax requested.[2] Through all the other operations, Wade served as the tech expert, helping them kidnap Lanugish, and was responsible for getting them into the palace for the eventual killing of Lifeforce. When Jax, Languish, and Paige went into the palace to confront Lifeforce, Wade and Hershel stayed behind to assault the main gates as a distraction.[6]
