George Wright is a pupil of Greenaway High comprehensive school in YouTube's Subjects. George is recruited into Greenaway's crime-fighting task-force by Theodore Smith, and the two quickly become best friends. George is also close friends with Alexis Lance and Courtney Summers.

Personality

George is shown to be caring and understanding to friend or foe alike. His loving nature can come across as extreme at times, especially towards Theodore. He is socially awkward, and has strange quirks that make him a pariah in Greenaway and general society.

George is shown to be highly intelligent in matters of obscurity, yet lacks all common sense and any knowledge that would be deemed 'useful' or 'current'. This is also shown through George refusing to use most modern technologies, preferring to read, which he does in excess. Habits like this grant him titles such as 'nerd' from Alexis Lance.

George is rarely happy, and often very melancholy - possibly due to his philosophical and thoughtful nature, as well as the loss of his parents and small circle of friends. George's sexuality has been questioned by Tina Cress in What We Lost to Flames, but George considers himself bisexual.

Pre-Team

Childhood

George was born in central London, to unnamed parents. He had a lower-middle-class upbringing, but his early childhood is known to be generally happy.

Sometime before the age of ten, George adopted the habits of wearing odd socks and his watch on the outside of his sleeve.

When George was ten, his mother and father were murdered in a seemingly random armed robbery on his childhood home. George escaped alive, after the two criminals chose to take mercy on him and keep him alive. George was left alone, hiding under a trampoline.

Sometime between the ages of ten and sixteen, George was adopted by his current foster mum, Jane. Although the memories would be supposedly painful for George, Jane and George continued to live in George's childhood home, where his parents were killed. George is hinted at as being friends with Courtney Summers before joining the team, possibly because Courtney's mother Stella is a friend of Jane's.

Greenaway High and Recruitment

George joined Greenaway High School in year seven, making him eleven years of age - only a year after his parent's death. Not much is known about George's years at Greenaway before year eleven, however it is probable that he was a social outcast, with very little friends.

Sometime before year eleven, George was recruited by Theodore and Alexis into Greenaway's crime-fighting task force, possibly because of his intellect, capacity for book-smarts, and socially deviant thoughts.

Once George was recruited, Theodore, Alexis and George worked as a team for an unnamed amount of time, before George supposedly referred Courtney to Theodore, resulting in her recruitment.

Working with the team

Season One

Downwards Spiral

George is sent with Theodore to the house of Mario Sakalov to arrest the pupil for "hacking into Greenaway High's secure network." George apprehends Mario - interestingly his only physical activity in the field to date. After Theodore knocks Mario unconscious, George and Theodore take a taxi to an unnamed location near Greenaway. George walks to school ahead, leaving Theodore to pay the taxi fare.

George arrives at Greenaway, walking to the Crime Scene Room and playing chess alone on his parent's chess board, against himself. Alexis arrives, remarking "again?", suggesting that George playing chess against himself is a common occurrence before Downwards Spiral. Alexis asks George: "how autistic are you?", picking up on some of George's stranger mannerisms. Eventually, Theodore joins George and Alexis, and the three work a case together, discussing the murder weapon and the wounds on Shamil Joshi's front. Eventually, they call Courtney, tracking their CSS - Malcolm Axel - down to a breakfast club in Greenaway.

Upon arrival at the breakfast club, the team find the room empty, then tracking Malcolm to the school gym. This is the only time George accompanies Theodore and Alexis on a takedown to date, trying to talk Malcolm out of his drug infused trance with Alexis. This results in Theodore shooting Malcolm dead, shocking George, suggesting it is the first time Theodore has killed someone.

Later that night, George comforts Theodore in the Crime Scene Room after "a full day of lessons". Theodore assures George he is okay, but George remains concerned, taking a copy of Great Expectations from Theodore, and leaving Greenaway to return home.

Vampire

The majority of Vampire takes place on the five year anniversary of the death of George's parents. Early in the morning before school, George is sitting on a bench in the graveyard where his parents are buried, staring at their gravestone. This graveyard is supposedly situated somewhere near Greenaway. George receives a text from Theodore, prompting him to go to school, to discover the school basement repurposed as a new Crime Scene Room due to 'budget cuts.' George again plays chess against himself, seemingly sombre about his parent's deaths. He also informs Theodore that he is "trying to cut down" on coffee, however these attempts are shown to be unsuccessful, as his coffee intake increases throughout the episode. When questioned by Theodore and Alexis, George retreats to his "first lesson", Geography, to avoid more conversation.

The next day (the five year anniversary), George joins Theodore and Alexis on a one night school trip to Freeman Forest. Upon arrival at the campsite George is very quiet due to sadness, however cheers up a little when teasing Theodore about his ranting love of nature.

That night, George sits separately from his two friends in George, Theodore and Alexis's tent, fiddling with a pawn chess piece - a reminder of his parent's death. The team receive a call from Courtney, cheering George up a little. Courtney tells the team of Tina Cress's disappearance, and Theodore and Alexis leave to investigate her tent, Theodore instructing George to stay in the tent. Once Theodore and Alexis leave, George takes a bite of pizza, seemingly satisfied with the food.

Whilst waiting for Theodore and Alexis' return, George reads, until Charles Darcey bursts into the tent, shooting George twice. George feigns death, however is not wounded, due to a bullet proof vest he is wearing under his clothes. Charles leaves, and George supposedly follows him discreetly.

Later, whilst Alexis is apprehended by Charles, George bursts from foliage, knocking Charles to the ground and saving Alexis' life. Alexis and George then accost Charles, and bring him back to their tent, tying him to a chair. George questions Charles, until Theodore returns, Charles jumping to his feet and pointing a gun at the team.

George discovers that Charles and himself both have lost their parents, using this fact to bond with Charles, and talking him down from shooting. Charles is arrested, and George informs Charles: "Some grow up to be murderers, and some grow up to catch them." Despite this moment of pride, George is then seen to be tired and miserable, putting his head in his hands.

The next day, George is comforted by Alexis whilst playing chess against himself in the Crime Scene Room. Alexis suggests that George must try and get over his parent's death, and stop "playing a ghost." She then leaves George to his thoughts, George concluding that he is "lucky" not to have become a murderer. He puts the pawn in his cardigan pocket, and exits the Crime Scene Room, presumably going to his lessons.

What We Lost to Flames

George bursts in to the Crime Scene Room, arguing with Theodore about a meal of spinach and bacon, Theodore branding it a "culinary disaster" and George agreeing. Alexis and Theodore then engage in an argument, which makes George extremely awkward. He breaks up the pairs feud. Theodore then reveals to the team that Courtney will be joining them at Greenaway, seemingly lifting George's mood.

Once Courtney arrives, Theodore instructs George to lay out a stool for Courtney, to which he obliges. When Courtney's phone rings, George smiles at Theodore, who is annoyed.

Alexis and Courtney travel to Alexis' house after the team receives news of Courtney's friend Melissa being kidnapped. Theodore supposedly leaves to buy him and George coffee, whilst George remains in the Crime Scene Room, researching arson using books and newspaper clippings. This is the first time George's book-smarts are properly demonstrated. Upon Theodore's return, George is granted his coffee and the two discuss arsonists and the case further, showing how well the two work together professionally.

Some time after this, George leaves Greenaway, visiting the café 'Thames Ditton Marina' on the River Thames, possibly to alleviate the emotional weight of Courtney's distress. He also visits a hairdresser to get his hair cut. In the café, George appears to have ordered three cappuccinos, having already finished two, before bumping into Tina Cress. The two have a conversation about George's sexuality, and it is revealed that George has seen Tina "around school" in the past, but the two have "never actually met." George defends Theodore during this conversation, saying he's "working hard on a case." This demonstrates George's loyalty towards his friend. Before Tina leaves, she kisses George. This is supposedly George's first kiss, judging by his shocked and bewildered reaction. It is unknown whether the kiss provides any sexual or romantic stimulation for George.

Upon leaving the café, George calls Theodore, walking down an unknown street. George informs Theodore of his and Tina's meeting and kiss, changing the topic of the conversation before Theodore can become jealous. The team then talk through the case, George determining that Tina is keeping Melissa in the Auwell School Allotment. Theodore and Alexis then leave for the allotment, George supposedly leaving for Alexis' house to comfort Courtney in Alexis' absence.

George remains with Courtney, receiving a call from Theodore, informing him that both Melissa and Tina "burnt to death." He is instructed to inform Courtney, however can't find the words to tell her, demonstrating the information only through a look of sadness. Courtney runs up to George and hugs him, to George's initial surprise. It is unknown how George feels about Tina's death, or Theodore's actions in the shed, though he is probably supportive of him.

In this episode, George is teased by Tina about him and Theodore being romantically involved. This supposedly plants the seed of romantic feelings towards Theodore in George's mind.

The Interview

It is unknown whether George's first appearance in this episode is a metaphorical representation or a past event. George is shown to be chasing a CSS from Greenaway with Theodore to an abandoned house. The two find the CSS holding a young girl hostage, and George tries to talk him out of shooting his victim, this attempt failing and resulting in the deaths of both the girl and the CSS. George "cares too much" about the death of the girl, and possibly the death of the CSS. Theodore leaves George in the house with the bodies, and it is unknown as to what George does next, though it is probable that he clears the bodies from the house himself.

George is next seen entering the Crime Scene Room with Alexis, supposedly after a text from Theodore. The two are discussing the band 'Twenty One Pilots'. The team discuss their latest case with Courtney on video call. Courtney talks over George, correcting his use of 'CSS' to 'SCSS'. George is shown to care for Courtney, offering her words of comfort when Theodore is hostile towards her, even if this hostility is neccesary for motivation. This shows once more that George is heart and not head-driven, despite his intellect.

George seems unwilling to participate in Theodore and Alexis' argument once more, suggesting that conflict makes him socially awkward. He shrugs reproachfully when Theodore tries to make him argue.
