Dwight came to Fandom at the very start of his canon arc in the show. There are a few changes/updates that are being made now to align more with his early canon storyline. Also, I wanted to better establish his backstory timeline as there was not much flushed out in the show, but this needs to be in place in order for his story to play out here in Fandom. So, without further ado, here they are:

Change- Early on in the show, Dwight got a haircut and kept the cleaner look for the rest of the time he was in Haven. There was no real mention of reasoning-he just showed up after a few episodes and the homeless surfer guy hair was gone. Here in the Fandom story line, Dwight will also be getting a haircut preceding some difficult things he is going to have address. (depression/trauma coping method? Maybe, maybe not, we will see 😉 )



Timeline- So as I already said we know only a few snippets about Dwight before he shows up in the first episode of Haven. So, consider the following a mix of canon facts, my own head canon ideas, and things to make everything work easier here in Fandom. Sharing this here both for my own benefit for easy reference but also so anyone else interacting with Dwight and getting involved in his story line progression has this backstory available.

·      Dwight had lived in and around Haven for years then moved away

·       1998- Dwight marries his wife (sometime in Jan of that year)

·       1999- His daughter Lizzie is born (Aug of that year)

·      2001- The War in Afghanistan beaks out- his father knows about the family Bullet Trouble but is in denial about it

·        2002- Dwight enlists and ends up in Afghanistan, never having been told about the Bullet Trouble

·         2005- Dwight’s battalion is captured and his Bullet Trouble activates

·         2006- Moves back to Haven with Lizzie and his wife leaves them- he raises Lizzie alone, having cut all contact with his family

·         2009- Lizzie’s Bullet Trouble activates and she ends up dying- Dwight moves to Fandom as he tries to deal with that trauma and loss

Dwight is coming up on the one year (for him) anniversary of Lizzie’s death and he’s not dealing with it as well as he had hoped he would. He left Haven to get away from the memories and trauma but it seems like its following him and he’s going to have to actually face this and deal with it. Maybe his new friends can help him get through this. (Preferably without him having to get too wasted or shot in the process please.)
