Wyatt Masher

**Wyatt 'Wrex' Masher**
 **Status:** Alive

**Wrex** is an youngling Draconi and an adopted son of Naomi Masher, alongside Cayden and Felix (though he is not a blood relative of the other two). When wearing a Switcher, he goes by the name **Wyatt Masher**, where he poses as a member of the Custodes, the elite military guard of Amun Seth, and is assigned exclusively to the protection of his mother and her work.

Wrex's true brood parents are unknown, and are likely to be long extinct. Wrex's egg was likely several tens of thousands of years old before it hatched.

## Origins

Wrex's egg was located in the Imrick Excavation by Gabriel Imrick, and was dug up along with those belonging to his two brothers. The eggs had been buried underground for a considerable amount of time, and one three of a dozen that'd remained in the dirt for at least fifteen thousand years - perhaps longer. The other eggs had long since perished into stone, but how exactly Wrex and his brothers' had managed to survive for so long was never discovered.

Wrex's egg hatched two years after Felix and Cayden's did, a full six years after the massacre of House Imrick at the hands of House Karston and House Keung. Naomi had been caring for the eggs for some time, and couldn't explain why Wrex's had taken longer to hatch. After testing the youngling, she discovered that Wrex belonged to an entirely different brood to Cayden and Felix - and concluded that the nest Gabriel had uncovered had probably contained a host of eggs from many different parents at one point. Despite this, Felix and Cayden accepted Wrex as their de facto younger sibling, and treated him as such.

After Naomi performed research on the young Draconi to determine their needs, she stumbled upon the Aether purely by mistake when conducting a test upon their natural Aperture. She used this data to create the first Switchers, which all the younglings all tested. With Wrex now capable of taking an adult human appearance, he adopted the name **Wyatt Masher** to better integrate and learn about human behaviour.

He was primarily raised in the Institute with his family and fed on a diet of vat-grown rabbits, though regular trips to the Sethian countryside allowed a more free range lifestyle every now and then, where the boys would be free of their Switchers. In once such trip, Wyatt was bitten on the neck by a horse and lack the sized or strength to shake it off. Naomi reportedly 'beat the horse to death with a golf club', according to Felix. In truth, she punched it unconscious.

## Icecrown Incursion

Shortly after adopting a human identity, Wyatt was first on the scene during the 1st Icecrown Incursion. It was Wyatt who killed the demon that'd escaped from the Aether during the incident, though it left him fairly shaken. It was also the first time he demonstrated a genetically inherited prowess for martial combat. He quickly began honing this, proving to be a far more effective fighter than his brothers. The incident also earned the respect of Calas Typhon, who'd been sent to investigate the Incursion. Typhon adopted all three boys into the Sethian military as a cover once he learned of their true species to help hide their identities from King Ptomley.

## Soulcreek

After the crash of Flight 2647, Wyatt adopted a similar position of protection to his brothers. He was challenged by the concept of having to interact with people on a closer level as the Glitched arrived, and would be sharing close quarters with him for a long period of time. He coped well with the stress of the event, though some of the more morbid events (such as the execution of Abigail Mercer) left him badly shaken.

Following an encounter with Fabian Drako, Wyatt fell eight stories from a building and, attempting to break his fall, shattered his Switcher on a chunk of debris on the way down. Having morphed into 'Wrex' again, he was able to survive the fall due to his considerable youngling 'padding', and limped back to the Institute. Without a Switcher, he was forced to hide in his room to protect his and his brothers' identities. Eventually, though, they boys agreed to reveal the secret to the Glitched, and Wrex was free to roam about amongst them until his Switcher was repaired. It was the first time he'd been around other people naturally, as Wrex.

## Personality

Wyatt is fairly quiet, emotionally withdrawn and shy when not around his brothers. He tends to lean on them for support in social situations, being uncomfortable with strangers or new places. He is, however, the most skilled combatant compared to the other two, confident in almost any aspect of combat and firearms.

He is less shy when he's without his Switcher. In this state, he's not beholden to his human 'adult' brain and acts far more childlike, as is appropriate for his age. Despite Felix and Cayden claiming to have outgrown 'bouncy balls', Wyatt is still young enough to enjoy chasing them.

Don't feed him sugar.
