DataWraiths are digitized elite hacker users, mercenaries hired by fCon to create havoc in computer systems around the world, steal top-secret data, and destroy the databases of fCon’s competitors. The greater plan was to have them go as far as stealing state secrets, blackmail world leaders, and manipulate global media and financial markets, essentially putting the cabal of fCon’s executives as the unquestioned shadow rulers of both the electronic and user worlds.

To that end, the Wraiths were given extensive physical training and extensive modifications, both inside and outside the system. They speak an encrypted language that is incomprehensible to both programs and Jet Bradley, using Mesh-type weapons such as the Mesh Primitive. The modifications include stealth or possible short-range teleportation, as they cloak, only to reappear a short distance away and attack before vanishing again. They also have superior speed to dodge attacks, as well as the enhanced strength and durability of a digitized User.

When they derez in the computer world they are kicked out of the computer and return to their original human form, unconscious. However, it is unknown what became of the Wraiths after the fCon executives were defeated.
