Sorry if this is out of nowhere but I see you posting a lot abt Wrench, so was Wrench married??? Who is Zane??? Where did u see it, was it in the game? And when? Thank u aaa

IT'S CHIILL JSKDHDKS it gives me the opportunity to talk about Wrench which I love to do

SPOILERS INBOUND FOR THE BLOODLINE DLC (I'm on mobile atm so I can't do a read more but I will tag as spoilers)

So YES Wrench was canonically married to a man named Zane. We know practically nothing about Zane sadly but we do know that their relationship ended up getting rocky and ends with a messy divorce.

This took place after WD2 but before Bloodline of course. There is a 13 year gap between the two games, WD2 taking place in 2016 (in which Wrench was 28 at the time) and Legion taking place in 2029 (where Wrench is now 41). So somewhere between there, Wrench decided he wanted to maybe stop being Wrench and do his own thing (in the beginning mission for Bloodline he mentions something along the lines of "getting tired of Dedsec ops" though for what reason we don't know).

So he starts going by his actual name, Reginald Blechman (Reggie for short as used by Marcus and Rempart. Jackson and Aiden Pearce also refer to him as Reggie at least once) and starts up his own tech company (as said by Marcus in a voicemail in Wrench's safehouse, most likely a company that specializes in robotics as Wrench says that be knew robots but Rempart knew business). However I'm guessing the company goes to shit when Rempart fucks him over. Some where within that timeline (after wd2 and before Rempart fucked him over) Wrench met, fell in love with, married, and then divorced this mysterious Zane. What caused their relationship to get rocky is unknown.

The first hint (that I noticed) towards Zane we see is in the cutscene after Aiden breaks into Wrench's safehouse for the Brocabridge. On Wrench's workbench there is a heart with the name Zane carved into it, but it's been scratched out.

Marcus's voicemails also mention Zane, not directly, but about how he(Marcus) knows Wrench's divorce was rough (and offers for them to meet up since Marcus knows a guy who drives monstertrucks that Wrench may be interested in). Also in the final Fixer contract from Jordi, in which we actually get to hear Marcus and Wrench talk, Marcus mentions "Z" in which Wrench calls Z "He who must not be named". I'm not sure if it's also in that Fixer mission or somewhere else where Wrench says Zane can "fall down a well for all he cares".

There's also a file that can be found that contents are an email from Wrench to Rempart (I think in the retaking the deeplabs scene mission??) that shows Wrench's reaction to Rempart ghosting him while taking Wrench's MK1 design as his own. Wrench states that even after Z kicked him out and he was living in his var he still gave Rempart his all with the robots.

The last mention of Zane I've seen in the dlc (I haven't done much exploring post-bloodline as I restarted the campaign as Wrench and the Bloodline world is seperate from the campaign world since Bloodline takes place after the campaign intro with Dalton but before when you (the first operative) are contacted to help Dedsec in finding Zer0-Day) is in the retaking the BrocaTech deep labs in which Rempart says "Like your ex, I've moved onto better" in which Wrench responds with "And like his car, I'm going to fuck your shit up with a sledgehammer"

I'll have to search around for other documents in the bloodline playspace to see if there are any other mentions or details, but basically above is all that I know of at the moment!
