Wes

Wes is the seventh unlockable Character. Wes has lower sanity, lower health and lower hunger that also drains faster compared to normal characters. He's not good at anything. As a mime he doesn't talk, instead he will only do random pantomime moves, providing no real information whatsoever.

Wes is currently one of two characters that can not be unlocked by gaining Experience, the other being Maxwell.

Locked Wes
In one of the adventure mode worlds (A Cold Reception, The King of Winter, The Game is Afoot, Archipelago), a structure may appear, which will have two chambers with a Maxwell Statue in each one, and a third one with Wes on the middle.

When players break one of the statues, it will release 1-2 Clockwork Bishops and 2-3 Clockwork Knights. After breaking all the statues and defeating the Chess Pieces, go to Wes. 2 Bishops and 3 Knights will spawn, players will need to defeat them.

After all monsters are cleared, Wes will pass out, fall on the ground and disappear. Wes is unlocked as a playable character.
