Born in
Cape Town
, South Africa, Casper turned to nature and distance running to manage his anxiety and depression. He later became an intelligence gathering officer in the
5 Specal Forces Regiment
before being transfered to
MONUSCO
to conduct peacekeeping missions. He experienced the pain of global refugees first hand when his entire family was killed by the Cape Town tsunami.
After stumbling onto a conspiracy involving a senior officer that put the lives of those of his unit and local civilians in danger, Wikus was falsely accused of murder and fled the country. He aligned himself with the No-Pats and joined the the MFS-04 Exodus' Task Force as a Recon Specialist. He hopes of being able to one day return home if there is still a home to return to.

Solitary by nature, Wikus is fiercely loyal to those he considers his friends. He is described as introverted, anti-social, unflappable, and calm in the presence of the Task Force. Wikus is a master of camouflage and long-range engagement.
