Though it’s unclear how old Wraith is during the events of Apex Legends, it looks like she was 27 years of age at the time of her escape.

It seems as though the video tries to make sense of how Wraith managed to find herself in the Apex Games, which seems to include a mix of different elements such as time-travel, interdimensional coups against IMC, alternate timelines and more.

The video gives players a great footing of how Wraith got involved in the Apex Games. The video ends with her emerging from the since-abandoned facility with construction well-underway for the Games’ arena.

There’s a lot of moving elements that this video introduces as it pertains to Apex Legends lore. Some even believe it’ll be a natural segway to introducing a myriad of characters like Blisk, the creator of the Apex Games.
