{{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|

When the Maelstrom first hit New York, it didn’t just usher in a new age of mysticism to the world… it changed geopolitics. From CIA-employed seers identifying threats decades before they rise to power to occult pacts made in smoky backrooms; countless wars and atrocities have been prevented that would otherwise have shaped history. But that doesn’t mean there is no war… just that war has changed.
Paranormal Military Companies have risen to prominence. These groups, using a combination of extra-planar creatures and various blood magics, have found ways to circumvent the guardrails established by the nation’s watchdog oracles, allowing them to function as proxies for nations seeking to wage war.

Wrecker is one such soldier.

Employed by Eldritch Tactical Solutions (a subsidiary of Fairfax Industries), Wrecker is an elite soldier of fortune with a reputation for doing dirty work that other PMCs don’t have the stomach for.

=== Lore ===
Wrecker speaks in a different language and has a limited English vocabulary. He is described by other heroes as a "gremlin"<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Haze|file=haze_kill_wrecker_05.mp3|transcription=I almost feel bad for the little gremlin.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Holliday|file=astro_ping_see_wrecker_02.mp3|transcription=There's a trash gremlin!}}</ref> and a "purple thing with eyes".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Mo & Krill|file=krill_ping_see_wrecker_02.mp3|transcription=I see a... purple thing. With eyes.}}</ref> This could be a hint at his final design.

He is known as ''The'' ''Butcher of [[Ixia]],''<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Amber Hand|file=Patron_male_ally_wrecker_start_01.mp3|transcription=They call you 'the Butcher of Ixia'. Show our enemies why.}}</ref> and fought in the fields of North Ixia.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Amber Hand|file=Patron_male_ally_wrecker_start_02.mp3|transcription=This may not be the fields of North Ixia, but it is a battleground, and today you will slaughter them all.}}</ref> Wrecker's military company has been accused of commiting war crimes.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=Newscaster_headline_65.mp3|transcription=Eldritch Tactical Solutions, a subsidiary of Fairfax Industries, comes under fire as new allegations are made by former employees. Are these soldiers of fortune committing war crimes? The New York Oracle investigates.}}</ref>

Wrecker's background suggests that [[wikipedia:World_War_I|World War I]] and [[wikipedia:World_War_II|World War II]] didn't happen in the ''[[Deadlock]]'' [[timeline]].

== Trivia ==
* Their temporary model appears to incorporate the mesh for the ''[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Clockwerk%27s_Helm Clockwerk's Helm]'', a promotional cosmetic for ''Team Fortress 2''. The ''Clockwerk's Helm'' is in turn based on the hero [https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Clockwerk Clockwerk] from ''Dota 2''.
* Wrecker's current model and animations are based on [[Paradox|Paradox's]] model.
* "Paranormal Military Companies" are a reference to real-world [[wikipedia:Private_military_company|Private Military Companies]], also identified as PMC.
