Staff Sergeant Wright was a Confederate Marine Corps training sergeant during the Guild Wars. Dark skinned, he wasn't that tall, but nonetheless had a commanding presence. In 2488 he briefed new recruits aboard the troopship Gladiator. One new recruit, listed as Ryk Kydd, tried to tell him he was in fact Ark Bennet, son of Errol Bennet of the Old Families. He claimed that Errol would reward him for returning him. However, Wright appeared not to believe him, and said he the Corps would keep him until he passed basic training. At that point, he could get help from the Bureau of Personnel.
