The Wraiths (Hot Import Nights)

**The Wraiths** is the largest rival street crew featured in *Need for Speed: Underground 2* and is led by the main antagonist of the game - Caleb Reece. In Hot Import Nights, the Wraiths crew is now a fifth crew next to the Stacked Deck crew

## History

In Hot Import Nights, Caleb was the chief of the Wraiths crew as part of Darius's Plans to complete the power and fame over the city, including the Bayview city.

When Ruka Cooper arrives back from Palmont to Bayview, Ruka will first face against Caleb. When Ruka arrives in Coal Harbor areas, Caleb and his crew will harass Ruka, demanding him never racing against the Wraiths crew, while Ruka replies "Who are you?" as he introduces himself properly being Darius's bodyguard. After Ruka wins 3 Sponsor race events in Coal Harbor, Caleb will arrive again, harassing Ruka demanding stop racing against the Wraiths crew or else they destroy his Sponsors if he loses the race, as Ruka replies to Caleb, saying "No! you can't destroy my sponsors! Even if you were behind Darius's plans, I'll keep winning any races until I've put a stop to your evil scheme!" while Caleb replies "Ha! I don't think you will! Just keep racing against us, or else I'll break you and your precious sponsors, kid!", and eventually drives off after a short conversation.

After making a name for themselves in Bayview, Ruka will be challenged by Caleb's second in command, Nikki Morris. Defeating Nikki in all of her races will prompt her to join Ruka's crew. Towards racing against Caleb, Ruka must face the rest of the crew in a series of HINRL races.

After winning all HINRL races, Caleb phones Ruka saying his crew is disbanding, and arguing him "You ruined my crew, you ruined everything, because of you!" Caleb will then challenge Ruka in four races: circuit race (two laps only unlike NFS Underground 2), sprint race from Coal Harbor west to Jackson Heights and another circuit race in the north Infinity Highway and finally sprint race from Infinity Highway to Bayview. Eventually, Caleb is defeated and is enraged on his losing the race against Ruka. The Wraiths dissolved shortly thereafter.

Later on, Caleb returns along with Takashi, Jayna, Damien, Gagne and Carter which are recruited by Darius into the Stacked Deck crew, but he still roles as Darius's bodyguard.

## Territory

The Wraiths controls the south Bayview of Coal Harbor, no minor crews can take over the Bayview Coal Harbor. Eventually, depending on the player's entrance, either the player's crew or the Mezzanotte Club will retake these territories. However, regardless, the Wraiths will lose territory from the Player's Crew, and as a result, will cease to exist after Caleb is defeated.

## Vehicles

Like the Mezzanotte Club's, the Wraiths is one of the Crew that has its members drive all three car classes - Tuners, Muscles, and Exotics, and also has SUVs, but they're Tier 2 or sometimes Tier 3. The cars of all Wraiths members are characterised by a "Street Reapers" vinyl and black metallic paint.
