Thex

Sign in to edit

Thex was a Free Drudge found by Michael Ford in Washington D.C. in Conduit 2.

Profile[]

Among the Drudge, some still worked for the The Trust and some did not. Those that broke away, the "Free Drudge", presumably sought emancipation and their own lives, away from their tyrannical captors that sought to only use them as weapons for their own ends.

Story Beats[]

Show: Freedom
Shortly after Michael uncovers Adams' plans for Washington, he infiltrates an office complex and discovers an interrogation room. Inside, a Trust officer holds a drudge drone captive, demanding information. As the officer grabs a SCAR to kill the drone, the drone spots Michael watching and shouts "Liberator!"


The Trust officer notices Michael, but before he can call for backup, the drone breaks free and slams the officer into the glass, killing him. The drone then urges Michael not to shoot and opens the door for him to enter. Inside, the drone explains the conflict between the Drudge and the Trust and informs Michael of Adams' whereabouts.

When Michael calls him "Bug-man," the drone introduces himself as Thex and gives Michael directions on how to proceed. Michael continues his mission to reach the National Institute, while Thex leaves to free his fellow drudges.

Show: Parting Ways
After Michael retrieves the Progenitors' coordinates, Thex arrives just in time to help him escape through a conduit. Thex doesn't reappear until Michael reaches Siberia, where the Free Drudge are attacking Trust prisons. Their ship is shot down by Trust defenses, but Michael helps them.


In return, they take him to Katarina's fortress so he can continue his mission while they refuel their ship. With Michael's help once again, Thex and the Free Drudge escape the complex and defeat a pursuing ship. The Free Drudge leave Michael at the entrance to the Lost City of Z. Thex salutes Michael, wishing him good luck and victory, before departing with his brothers. They are not seen again for the rest of the game.
