“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]
Trivia
- Wade has an extreme fondness for both Twinkies and sherbet.
