Wes

Theodore Wesley - commonly known as Wes - is a sixteen-year-old who works at Fenwood House.

He plays the banjeaurine, playing the instrument when he entered the jingle competition.

He has a form of epilepsy which causes him to have absent seizures.

Description
Wes is a Black sixteen-year-old, five foot eight, and wears t-shirts and jeans.

Life and Death
Wes lived at 1974 East Oak Street with his parents Evelyn and Thomas Wesley. The lot their house was built on was bought cheap. His father worked at the celeric bottling works in Mount Absalom, and his mother was a piano teacher.

As a Black family, he and his parents dealt with racism from the town's citizens; his father was moved into night shifts after many of the white townsfolk returned after the war, and the guidance councillor refused to meet with Wes to discuss life options after completing high school.

Wes worked at the grocery store Carpenter's Market, working as a cashier as well as delivering to people's homes.

One day after finishing his shift at the market, Wes was working on a school essay about his goals after completing school. Partway through he has a seizure, and falls from his chair, cracking his head on the floor.

Being a Ghost
Wes has been working at Fenwood for two years. As well as running the ghost tour, he runs errands for Dot Harper, and helps to organise repairs on the house. He showed up at the boarding house one day, saying he'd heard Dot needed help.

Wes has a strong desire to help people, and cares deeply about Fenwood House. This leads him to not cash in his paychecks - he knows finances are tight, and wants the money to be used for the running of the house instead.

Wes was unaware that he was a ghost, finding out during the episode The Gang Goes In when Norah told him. Upset, Wes vanished.
