## Synopsis

### History

Wallis was born on the 30th October 2019 during the Tragedy of Quebec. Wilfred orchestrated the Tragedy by manipulating Michael in order to awaken a "being born of pure evil." Wallis was the product of the experiment, being found as a baby by Wilfred in the rubble of the city. The circumstances that caused Wallis to be born are still unknown. Wilfred needed Wallis' corpse to perform the Banished Rising Ritual - however Wilfred kept him alive so that he had someone able-bodied who could gather the Gaming Blood samples. Wallis began to age rapidly, having the body of a fully grown adult by the age of 6 in 2025.

### Season 3

#### Shard Map Arc

Wallis first appears in episode 1, where he can be seen gathering a sample of Mike's blood from the crime scene at Brumley. He acted undercover as a Empire of Respect soldier in order to get access to sites where the Gaming Council could have been.

#### Crown Jewels Arc

Wallis meets with Wilfred in their secret bunker, and shows him the sample of Harold's blood found in Arnold's Base. Wallis is concerned as the blood suggests that Harold was burned by a Banished Ember. It appears Arnold was researching the Banished.

#### Changing World Arc

Meeting in Moscow, Wallis and Wilfred discuss the escalating conflict between Jacob and Neil. Wilfred orders Wallis to pull out of his undercover position as the Empire has become too dangerous.

#### Desert Arc

Wilfred begins to grow concerned that Wallis is developing too much emotion as Wallis accidentally calls him father. Wilfred tells Wallis a story of a civilisation that was created by Disrespect of "humans born without a flame," and Wallis discovers a statue of Ozymandias. Wallis is ordered to go to Styrbjorn's factory to collect the final samples needed for the Banished Rising Ritual.

At the factory, Wallis sneaks in a side entrance so he can move seperately from Yosef's squadron. When inside, he collects the final sample. However, on his way out he accidentally takes a wrong turn and ends up meeting Styrbjorn's Father. Talking through the computer monitor, Stybjorn's Father tells Wallis about the lengths his son goes to in order to keep him alive. Wallis is moved by the story, however obliges him inhis request to be allowed to die. Wallis thinks about his relationship with Wilfred, and wonders if a day will ever come when they can live a normal life as father and son.

After leaving the factory, Wallis meets again with Wilfred and hands over the final sample needed. However, Wilfred then stabs Wallis, revealing that hos body was the final offering needed for the ritual all along. Having been betrayed by his own 'father', Wallis bleeds to death. Wilfred uses his corpse to open Gates to the Depths, summoning Banished to Earth. During the Banished Rising, 4 Billion people are killed worldwide.

As Wilfred battles Respect, he hears Wallis' voice and is immobalised. As Wallis had developed emotion, he was not the hollow being of pure evil that Wilfred needed in order to fully harness the power of the Banished. Respect kills Wilfred, however his soul meets with Wallis' soul in the afterlife. Wallis welcomes him to a quaint country home, where they can finally live as father and son.
