Wright was a high-ranking Commander of the Cleaners, secretly working for Natalya Sokolova and Calvin McManus as a spy and informant. He was also the second boss encounter in the Paradise Lost Incursion.
History[]
Wright's past before joining the ranks of the Cleaners is mostly unknown, except for the fact he is well acquainted with both Black Tusk CEO Natalya Sokolova and Secretary of Homeland Security Calvin McManus, having worked for them in the past under uncertain circumstances.
During the events of Puppeteers, Wright gets a call from Sokolova, asking him to "check up" on Mackenzie Meret, Meret Estate heiress and Natalya's long-time friend. After some time, he confirms her current status as the leader of a civilian community built inside the estate's perimeter, when the businesswoman then asks him to raid the place with his Cleaners and kidnap her. Wright accepts, while also asking for "extra protection only a certain wealthy benefactor could get access to", as he had promised to the Cleaner couple known as "The Lovebirds", Natalya asks him if he meant her or Calvin, to which the Cleaner says Calvin's connections are harder to track and can be easily mistaken for SHD tech made by Conley as part of the Rogue Network's plans.
After successfully getting access to customized SHD Tech supplied by McManus himself, Wright presents the Lovebirds Martinez and Johnson with their new "Kids", revealing to them that he even managed to get Johnson a Rogue Agent Status on ISAC's network.
Wright, the Lovebirds and their Cleaner cell attack the Meret Estate with full force, hoping to eliminate the community and Wright, in secret, attempting to kidnap the heiress herself, possibly to prove his worth in McManus's recruiting drive. Despite killing multiple Division agents present on-site, Wright is Killed in Action by a team of backup agents that arrive just in time to stop his plans.
Abilities[]
In-game, Wright is a unique Cleaners Tank, armed with a unique set of abilities:
Hellfire Hunter Axe[]
- Wright's main weapon is a large hunter axe lit up in powerful purple flames, same as the rest of his body. Swings from his axe can not only shoot a mid-ranged wave of flames but also hit a large area around him.
Greek Fire Protection[]
- Wright's entire body is covered in purple-colored flames, which he calls "Greek Flames", that are extremely lethal to anyone standing near him. These are also powerful enough to melt any incoming projectiles and must be put out using the boss room's sprinkler system, which is manually activated, in order to make him vulnerable.
Hellfire Grenades[]
- Wright is also equipped with powerful Incendiary Grenades.
Greek Fire Bomb[]
- Whenever he gets enraged or, sometimes, during the switch between phases of his fight, Wright will deploy a canister of purple gas, which he can detonate to momentarily light up the whole room with his purple "Greek Fire".
Trivia[]
- Wright is the first ever shown Hunter-associate who is not (directly) a member of the Black Tusk.
- Completing Wright's boss fight flawlessly (meaning none of the agents can be downed during the encounter) will unlock the "Wright the Hellfire" backpack trophy, which is a small Chiby toy of Wright himself holding his axe.
- Completing the entire Paradise Lost incursion flawlessly (none of the agents can be downed during the whole incursion) will unlock the "Wright Mask" for the player.
- The in-game subtitles simply refer to him as "Hellfire" instead of his actual name.
- It is currently unknown, but highly plausible, that Wright's armor uses internal fuel to upkeep Greek fire protection, considering the fact he explodes upon enough damage. It is also unknown how he survives the extreme heat (as no amount of insulation would be enough that close to the body), though some have argued it is by sheer force of will.
