"Cold. Heartless. Professional. Nobody is going to get in your way when you have a job to do, and nobody will ever doubt your loyalty. You'll make sure of that."
― The Dedicated's Gear Description
Eric Reed, also known as Wren, is one of the main characters of Entry Point and the first member we meet from Halcyon. He initially served as the mission coordinator during Black Dawn and The Freelancer, but was later promoted to Operations Coordinator.
Overview
Wren is first encountered in Black Dawn, but he is only first seen in the Halcyon cutscene. He coordinates the operations of Rose's squad up until The Lakehouse. During Dedication his colder side is revealed as he attempts to assassinate the Freelancer. However he fails and gets executed in the process.
Wren has brown charmer hair along with a black Halcyon operative outfit. He is seen wielding a UP9 in Dedication and is fond of codewords and stealth, as pointed out by the dialogue lines in The Blacksite and The Freelancer (Mission).
Overall he seems to be calm and decisive. He speaks in a professional manner and never jokes during important missions. Wren is also very loyal to Halcyon, as he calls it his family.
It is known that he was trained by Jackdaw along with Rose. Jackdaw refers to him in Retribution as a psychopath, saying that he shot Jackdaw as soon as he got orders.
