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.

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!"
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. |

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.
