Preston Thorne (character)

Lt. Weephun aka Preston Thorne is a 29 year-old male from Meridian, Idaho. He is the leader and organizer of Team Boise. During the I Love Bees game he gained great infamy as the player who betrayed the The Sleeping Princess. During the game Lt. Weephun decided to help the "villian" of the game, The Operator, by informing her where the The Sleeping Princess was hiding. You can listen to the [[Media:Weephun.ogg|audio file of the betrayal]] here.

At the time of the betrayal Lt. Weephun decided that loyalty to the Operator was more important than any feelings that he had towards The Sleeping Princess. "The instant I went from Preston Thorne, trying to play a game and answering a bunch of telephones, to Lt. Weephun, crew member of the Apocalypso helping Melissa complete her mission, it was a huge epiphany, and it made the game a lot more fun"
