Wilfred Dewey

Wilfred Dewey was a formerly infected man who was the first to pass through a portal. When he returned, he replaced Sean Clements as the "inside man," much to Sean's disappointment.

Possession
Wilfred Dewey was a middle aged man of mixed race. Prior to the infection, he was an employee at a law firm. When the possessor took full control, he killed his love interest and fellow employee Emily Baines. Before he was captured, he also badly injured his boss, who died despite medical treatment. Before he could be apprehended, his brothers arrived and rescued him. Wilfred was present at the construction of the third portal, and right before an Apache rocket strike blew the thing to bits, Wilfred dived through it to save himself, despite numerous warnings from his possessor. As he went through, he was still in contact with the possessor, which resulted in a situation similar to Sean Clement's. In the strange universe with different laws of physics and dimensions, Wilfred becomes an entity of near omnisentience. He discovers the Fracture and then suddenly realizes he has nothing to do with the information and no way to escape. When a secret fourth portal is constructed, he draws on the fabric of that universe, and collapses the space and time around the portal, effectively destroying it as he passed through. When Eldarge, Clements and Maddox realize the fifth portal was a decoy,they arrive at the fourth one, expecting it to be too late. But they find smoldering wreckage, and everyone dead except Wilfred. Wilfred tells them of his adventures, and in their excitement they push Sean aside, hoping Wilfred can fix things.

Confrontation
When the sixth portal is found-half protected since the rest are escorting the horde from Alaska through Canada and North Dakota into Nebraska-Maddox and his men kill the possessed protecting it, and Wilfred and Sean try to communicate that the Fracture was a good thing. That it should not be undone. But they don't listen. For their equivalent of millennia, this has has been their mission. Before they can do anything, the army arrives from Alaska, backed by converted humans. Sean quickly realizes the situation is hopeless, and dives through the portal to escape the caress of one of the grey, sinewy tendrils of smoke. Wilfred screams after him, calling him a coward. Wilfred's last moments are witnessed by Henry Maddox in the helicopter, as one of the tendrils catches his leg as he runs, and flips him in the air. Two more move in either direction, ripping an arm free. Before he hits the ground, he is torn in half, them quarters. By the time he lands, he is in sevenths.
