## Description

Wiley's outfit consists of a black dress shirt, black, red, and white stripped suspenders, and blue jeans, in a pocket he stores a silver pocket watch with a boat inscribed on it. A plan for Wiley's outfit was for him to have either black or brown hair, and white/grey streaks in his hair.

## History

Wiley is the subtitle editor for *Limol Lwohl*, however he does this begrudgingly. It is unknown where Wiley is at this moment, though evidence that will soon be revealed will indicate that Wiley is nowhere on earth, it is alluded to, that Wiley is in *Purgatory*, it is unknown who put him there. *The VV Project* implies Wiley is obsessed with time, it is unclear why but in an unseen demo photo, Wiley's face is covered by his open pocket watch, the time frozen reading 5:03. As of now it is unclear why this time is so important to him. Wiley shares the same role as another character *Sammy Scoville*. Him and Sammy are both the subtitles to two different channels, with Sammy subtitling for *Mill Hollow*, and Wiley forced to speak the captions for Limol Lwohl. Wiley is addressed as Collin Hathaway in *FOUND FOOTAGE #3* of the VV Project during an audio recording where *Lennox Benson* and a scientist interview *Oswald Hathaway* about the disappearance of all staff except Oswald himself. When Collin is brought up as dead, Oswald finally snaps, slamming a fist against the table, declaring “he’s not dead” as though he were certain. It’s unknown how Oswald and Collin are related. However, evidence points to Collin being his brother or son. Though some believe in the possibility Collin is secretly Oswald’s lover.

If it’s true, and Collin is Wiley, the story goes that Collin is the first test subject Oswald uses in the VV Project at *HEX Labs*. Collin, despite his concerns about safety, agrees to partake in the experiment. This experiment possibly lead to his disappearance, as he is not heard of under the name Collin again until tape #3. In which, he is assumed dead by the company, except for Oswald, who we now know has blood connections to him. We learn from *EX78-BV3* and *EX78-4BV*, audio recordings by Oswald and Collin that in these experiments, Collin performs a maintenance test on a *Television set*. We know from the sighting on Tape #2 that VV is in this TV, and he captures someone named Wiley, forcing them into a *Purgatory State* after several years of trauma. Since Tape #3 basically confirmed Wiley is Collin Hathaway, we know Wiley is captured by either VV or Limol. Which better points to Limol as the culprit, since in order for the *Light State* to open for him Limol must lure Oswald into entering Purgatory, and what better way to do so then stealing from someone’s family. This works clearly as in the end of the VV Project, Limol escapes Purgatory with a urge to reinforce his masters security. Wiley is no longer human once he escapes Purgatory, as all morality seems to have faded from his soul.

## Photos

Wiley's face is obscured by a black box, and his hands are up to his head, clenching his hair (Think of that iconic scene/page in The Killing Joke, after Joker BECOMES the Joker) the photo is glitchy and distorted, faint clocks in the background further feed into Wiley's obsession with time. Counting all of them reveals 13 clocks to be in the photo. There is no colour aside from the glitches. It's simply black and white. In the final photo, the only part of Wiley to be seen in his legs, or more accurately feet, we get to see Wiley's shoes, because the photo is in black and white it is hard to tell if there is any colour, but it is safe to assume his shoes are black, leather, and slightly healed, much like the first one, it is glitchy and distorted, his shoe translucent to the background, two clocks can be seen in the background as text reading "DECADES" is in the middle of the photo, however, looking closer the photo has more hidden text reading "What time is it?" and "It's been..." putting everything in order, the messages read "It's been...DECADES. What time is it?" Alluding to the fact that to him, he's been trapped in this purgatory for...Well, decades. All that time alone, is most likely not taking a good tole on his Mental heath, meaning if anyone interacts with him, it may not end so well...

## Appearances

Wiley's first appearance was in the captions of the video on Limol's channel titled "B R E A T H E" where spaced out between the video is a riddle:
"What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end and the end of every race?"
at the very end of this video, the captions then read "Time" as an answer to the riddle. Further feeding into his obsession with knowing time.

His second appearance was once again in the captions, once more in Limol's channel, this video titled "η υπομονή ανταμείβει🪬" In this Wiley says the following:

> Where am I? Please... Someone... Anyone... Help me
>

Wiley's first physical appearance was in "TAPE #1" on Limol Lwohl's channel, where a photo mentioned earlier (the final one) is show after the text:

> Please. Help me.

His next appearance is in "TAPE #2", on Limol's channel again in the VV Project. During this appearance, Wiley is running away from a digital entity in Purgatory, believed to be either Limol or VV. This takes place in a subsection known as Dead Ringer Suite.
