Wade West

"'Wade had nothing to be sorry about. He always wanted to be a warrior, like Jack. And in the end, he was...'"-Michael about Wade at his burial

Wade West was one of the main antagonists turned protagonists of the Michael Vey series.

History
Wade was a bully at Meridian High School, alongside his friend, Jack. However, when Michael asks Jack and him for help to find his mother, they, Ostin Liss and Taylor Ridley begin a team known as the Electroclan to find and save Sharon Vey (Michael's mother), and stop Dr. Hatch.

Both Jack and Wade transport the others around in the series, helping out when needed. Wade dies taking a bullet for Jack in Battle of the Ampere.

The Prisoner of Cell 25
in Prisoner of Cell 25, Wade was one of the bullies that shoved Michael into his locker, and did rotten and far-out things to him. Wade and Jack both also helped out Michael drive to Pasadena to save Michael's mother and Taylor Ridley, Michael's girlfriend. When Michael signed his loyalty contract to Dr. Hatch, he made him shock Wade as part of the deal. Michael refused, and this is what gained Wade's loyalty.

Rise of the Elgen
In the Rise of the Elgen, the second book in the series, Wade transported the other Electroclan members to where they needed to go, and go involved when needed. But mostly he would take them to their destination.

Battle of the Ampere
Wade was killed because he took a bullet meant for Jack and died shortly after. After that, Jack carved Wade's name into his arm, as a type of remembrance to take with him for the rest of his life.
