Background: Wilkes is a former NCR Army Sergeant who was falsely imprisoned following a failed mission. In 2285 he was sent into Denver along with a group of other convicts as part of Project Cook, to build a prison colony. Things went well for a time, until they got into a conflict with the Copper Toes, who killed fellow convict Doug Fargo and crippled Wilkes' left leg. During the ensuing conflict he began to grow closer to Harriot, to the point where she was the closest friend he had in the Project; shortly after the victory over the Copper Toes, he realised that he was in love with her - but then Daniel Starling killed George McGill and began a genocidal campaign of assimilation against the human race. Though Daniel ravaged Colorado and New Mexico, Wilkes and several companions managed to put a final end to him.

In the aftermath, Wilkes and Harriot travelled to the barely-touched state of Kentucky, where they settled down and built a farm of their own, as they had envisioned during their time in Denver. They had a happy life together, tending to their farm and tinkering on all sorts of machinery to make their life easier. In late 2288, they even got married.

But Wilkes knew it was not enough for Harriot. All the signs showed that she was getting bored, as well as she was trying to hide it. He did what he could to appease her need for action and adventure, but with a crippled leg and a quiet farm, there was only so much he could do. Sooner or later this life would come crashing down upon them, as much as he didn't want it to...
