==Biography==
===Early Life===
Probst Wyatt III was born in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1928 to Probst Wyatt II and an unnamed mother, and the child belonged to a wealthy American family. During the 1930s to early 1940s, Wyatt went to middle school where he learned how to play the clarinet, and was also part of his school's marching band. According to Wyatt, he joined the wrestling team that was taught by Coach Anderson, whom he idolized. Due to his family's wealth or his academics, Wyatt managed to go to the ivy league college Harvard at the age of seventeen to pursue a degree in international affairs. He also mentions in The New Colossus that he failed a leadership course, and that his father had his future all planned out, with him eventually reaching to congressional powers by going to an ivy league school.
Due to hearing about what was happening that Second World War was getting worse around 1946, Wyatt decided to join the United States Army to participate in the war effort. As a result of joining the military, Wyatt's father was disappointed, considering him a spoiled brat, and his mother overdosed on a bottle of pills the day he left. 
===Deathshead's Compound===
Wyatt became a member of the 109th Airborne, and was part of the operation to assault Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse's compound to eliminate the Nazi general. Though Wyatt managed to infiltrate the compound with B.J. Blazkowicz, Fergus and Prendergast, the group were captured by Deathshead. Wyatt and Fergus were left to be chosen for dissection by Deathshead, who told Blazkowicz that he could only save one of them alongside Prendergast since he saw the latter as "broken".
If Wyatt is chosen to live, Fergus will accept his fate before being dissected by Deathshead, who takes his brain and leaves the compound. After the general leaves, Wyatt, B.J. and Prendergast escape by jumping out a window, but separate as a piece of shrapnel hit B.J.'s head. Wyatt and Prendergast would survive and learn that the war was lost after America's surrender following Manhattan bombing, and joined the Kreisau Circle under the leadership of Caroline Becker. Due to being peer pressured to fight against the Nazi Empire, Wyatt felt that he wasn't ready to become a leader after sending Prendergast on a mission that he never returned from. By 1960, Wyatt was taken to Eisenwald Prison by the Nazis, where he was tortured for information on resistance fighters.
==The New Order==
===Wyatt's Timeline===
While in Eisenwald, Wyatt is rescued by B.J., who came out of his vegetative state and decided to find the resistance to continue the fight against the Nazis. The two escaped by fighting against Nazis and being assisted by Anya Oliwa, a nurse that attended to B.J. at the asylum he was placed. Escaping to the Kreisau Circle's headquarters, Wyatt participated in claiming the Project Whisper helicopters with Becker and Blakzowicz, and later told his former captain that he made the wrong choice in picking him over Fergus. Despite his anger for his incompetence in assisting the resistance, Wyatt continued to provide support for B.J. by going on an operation with Blazkowicz and Set Roth to obtain the D'at Yichud's torque. 
Wyatt then flies B.J. to the Gibraltar bridge to obtain the uniform of a Nazi officer that is going to the Moon base, and manages to help his former captain by killing a Super Soldier with his helicopter wings. After B.J. goes to the Moon, the Nazis infiltrate the Kreisau Circle's headquarters under the command of Irene Engel, taking Anya, Bombate and Set prisoners. Wyatt is saved by B.J. and Becker, who has donned the D'at Yichud power armor that was taken from the yichud's safe. Wyatt assists B.J. during the final assault on Deathshead's compound, where Blazkowicz kills Engel's lover Bubi and confronts the general while the resistance rescue prisoners. B.J. is wounded by Deathshead, who attempted to kill him with a grenade but only killed himself in the process. Wyatt and the resistance rescue Blazkowicz before the destroy the compound, leaving Becker to go on missions as B.J. is treated for his injuries.
===Fergus' Timeline=== 
If Fergus is chosen, Wyatt will be dissected by Deathshead, who takes his brain and leaves the compound as Blazkowicz, Fergus and Prendergast escape. His brain was kept in tact by the general for years, and was placed into a prototype robot to attack Blazkowicz at the compound. After being defeated, Wyatt apologizes to B.J. for attacking him, and begs his former captain to destroy his brain as he can't live in this state. B.J. then destroys Wyatt's brain with the LaserKraftWerk, ending his suffering before fighting the general head on.
==The New Colossus==
By 1961, Engel has become head of the Nazi Party after the death of Deathsead, and becomes determined to kill Blazkowicz after the murder of her lover by his hands. Wyatt participates in defending the Eva's Hammer, but is captured by Engel and witnesses her murder Becker. Wyatt and B.J. manage to be saved by Engel's daughter Sigrun, having had enough of her mother's abuse, and the trio escape from the Ausmerzer. After B.J. clears section F of the Eva's Hammer, Wyatt starts to suffer from depression and stress, and starts taking psychadelic drugs to deal with the pain. Despite his drug use, Wyatt still continues to assist B.J. in his fight against the Nazis. The resistance first decide to follow Becker's plan to gather of all of America's resistance leaders to start a second revolution, and head to Manhattan to gain the support of Grace Walker.
B.J. is later captured by the Nazis after detonating a nuke in Roswell, and is executed on live-television despite the resistance trying to save him. Thankfully, Set comes up with a plan to obtain B.J.'s head to put it on a new body that Becker collected, and Blazkowicz continues to recruit resistance leaders such as Horton Boone. Wyatt then attends B.J.'s birthday party after the latter collected the ODIN codes to capture the Ausmerzer, but Probst hides in the shooting range after being warned that he is not ready for drugs by Paris Jack. Probst goes into a final drug trip that turns bad, causing Wyatt to lament on his failures and nearly committing suicide, but is stopped by Blazkowicz. Wyatt then assisted the resistance in taking over the Jimmy Carver show to allow B.J. to kill Engel, which also lets Wyatt speak to the American people to stand up against the Nazis.
