Background

“

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.

— A FATE'S TALE

Lore

Wrecker speaks in a different language and has a limited English vocabulary. He is described by other heroes as a "gremlin"^[1]^[2] and a "purple thing with eyes".^[3] This could be a hint at his final design.

He is known as The Butcher of Ixia,^[4] and fought in the fields of North Ixia.^[5] Wrecker's military company has been accused of commiting war crimes.^[6]

Wrecker's background suggests that World War I and World War II didn't happen in the Deadlock timeline.

Character interactions

Seven believes Wrecker is an extra-planar being.^[7]
Wrecker calls Abrams "blue meat"^[8] and Mo & Krill "mole meat".^[9]
