Wesley Turei

Wesley was born to Derumk Turei and Connie Rockwell. Derumk disappeared a lot in Wesley's upbringing, which was supposedly related to his demanding job. When Wesley was a teenager, Connie passed away and Derumk fell into a severe depression. It later transpired that Derumk had been having a long-standing affair with Makayla Marcus and felt an enormous guilt for not telling Connie before her unexpected death. Wesley felt he would go mad if he lived with Derumk any longer. He was then invited to live with Makayla and her family temporarily in StrangerVille, to help raise his half-brother Kale who Makayla had fallen pregnant with. Wesley accepted the invitation and set out to destroy Makayla, although later broke down and understood Makayla and Derumk's affair. Makayla became something of a mother figure to Wesley from then on as Wesley helped to raise Kale. Wesley also met StrangerVille scientist Stephanie Lind and a one night stand resulted in an unplanned pregnancy. During this time Wesley was devastated to discover that Derumk had died of a broken heart. Stephanie gave birth to a boy named Channing and quickly got remarried to a Bjergsen, giving Channing that surname. Makayla helped Wesley fight to give Channing his surname and ultimately succeeded, so he was renamed Channing Turei. Wesley maintained a close bond with Kale and continued living in Makayla's StrangerVille house. Wesley was saddened when Makayla unexpectedly died of old age.
