Agent Wade is a Spartan II commando for the private special forces team known as Project X. One of the eleven children out of the initial twenty to survive the training. Wade had trouble seeing his situation as serious as it was. All through training he would joke with the other children and the instructors. Though this childish behavior wasn't encouraged, it did help the moral of the other trainees. This behavior continued into his adult life as a Spartan Commando.
