Biography

 * "Wilkes got his first set of cybernetic augmentations while serving in the British Engineering Corps. Five years and many upgrades later, he is the embodiment of the cutting edge of human weaponry on the battlefield, using his superior technology to disrupt opponents’ tactics before moving in for the kill."
 * — Prophet's biography

Prophet, ever since he was a child, had a fascination with technology. When he was in the army, his parents were diagnosed with a disease that couldn't be diagnosed, let alone be cured. He went on leave to care for them and after their deaths he signed up for DNI enhancement. He quickly began enhancing himself with more and more cybernetics, such as limb, audio, visual, and medical enhancements. Implant by implant, he became less human. By the time of the game's events, he is over 70% cybernetic.

Abilities

 * Specialist Weapon: Tempest - A weapon that fires bolts of electricity and is considered an instant kill if it's a direct hit but can chain from one person to another with the same lethality and can chain indefinitely until there are no targets around the electrified victim. It fires a total of eight bolts from it but there is a short delay each time the trigger is pulled. It takes a total of four minutes and thirty seconds to access the Tempest each time.
 * Specialist Ability: Glitch - Prophet hacks the combat simulation interface, allowing him to teleport to a position where he was previously. When activated, Prophet will disappear in a streak of blue light and reappear in another location. Even if Prophet stays stationary for a time, he will still be teleported to a previous location. The glitch ability takes two minutes and eighteen seconds to charge.


 * Like other specialists in the game, Prophet uses an advanced movement system in which he uses a jet pack of sorts help him move through the air but the it only lasts so long before the pack has to recharge the boosts. The jets also help with sliding from cover to cover.
 * With the cybernetics that Prophet has, he is able to kill people in two punches whether or not his opponent is facing him or not. If he has a gun, however, he will be able to one-hit his opponent if Prophet attacks from either the side or the rear.
 * Although he is a customizable character, Prophet is part of a very real part in military, that being the British Engineering Corps, which is another name for the Royal Engineers, a highly regarded portion of the British military that provides technical engineering and support for the British Army. It stands to reason that Prophet is well versed in Britain's version of CQC, which is a combination of Judo, Aikido and Jui-Jitsu.
 * Since Prophet is, after all, a customizable character, in future battles he should be limited to the preset loadouts given to the players and not any other sort of class made up by others. (http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Multiplayer_classes#Preset_Loadouts_in_Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops_III)
 * Since he is a Call of Duty character as well, Prophet has regenerative health but needs time to recover if too much damage is done to him.
