Wylie was set apart from the other Minutemen by his skills and leadership. In the course of the series, Wylie is revealed to be the group's commander after Graves. These traits, along with his marksmanship, are likely the reason for his being codenamed "The Point Man". Wylie is one of the more redemptive characters in the series, having shown a greater capacity for empathy and caring for other people than several of his fellow Minutemen. He became especially close with Dizzy Cordova, and their relationship carried several parallels to Wylie's with tragically lost love, Rose Madrid.
