― Dmitri Johannes Petrov, Warden of the Wall |
The Wall (Russian: Стена) is a private Russian-operated, Canada-based detention facility and the base of its associated organization.
Roles[]
The Wall is the secondary antagonistic organization of the Henry Stickmin Series, and appears as the titular main location and faction in the game Fleeing the Complex.
They serve as the main antagonistic faction of all routes in Fleeing the Complex, and a minor unseen antagonistic faction in almost all routes in Completing the Mission except Pardoned Pals and Toppat Recruits. where they serve as the main antagonistic faction.
History[]
Established over five decades from the present and ran by Warden Dmitri Johannes Petrov, the prison holds some of the most cunning and notorious criminals in the world (Freddy Fazbear, Frosty the Snowman, etc) and has independent guards. Following Henry Stickmin's crimes and conflicting reports, Dmitri Johannes Petrov and Grigori Olyat agree to lock him up at The Wall.
Using Ellie Rose to secretly boost up and go through the vents, Henry ends up near two guards. He throws a Whoopee Cushion to make them fight, while sneaking behind them. He leaves the complex through a wall and flies to a small Dinghy, making his escape with no one noticing.
Henry and Ellie get to the vents together, ending up near the same two guards. They faint both of them and Ellie uses The Force so Henry can open the door nearby. Henry opens the locks of all the cells causing an inmate outbreak. Ellie steals two caps and throw it behind two guards, making them notice 3 convicts as Ellie and Henry sneak behind. At the yard, Ellie gets captured by Grigori. Henry distracts him by making a face, causing him to get hit by a humvee. Ellie gets on a motorbike and drives away, as Henry is attacked by Dmitri who Ellie knocks with a stop sign. They both drive away.
Henry dashes out of the waiting room and knocks out Grigori, running away from incoming fire by a guard. He uses a mystery item and becomes invisible, escaping into the surface. Dmitri alerts the guards about Henry's escape, telling several guards to take positions. Henry defeats Karlov Chernik in sword fight and drives away in a truck. Henry crashes near a cliff and gets pushed down by Dmitri. Henry holds to the cliff and slowly walks into the Tavern.
International Rescue Operative
Through the phone, Henry calls the Government. Charles Calvin answers the phone and abandons his mission to rescue Henry. An hour later, Charles gets close to the Wall and tells Henry to get to the rooftop. Through the cafeteria, Henry gets to the fire escape stairs. Charles takes down a guard letting Henry sprint towards the top. Henry knocks out a guard, giving the green light to Charles' landing. They get away in the helicopter.
Henry is transfered into a new cell, where he cuts through the floor and uses a phone to contact the Toppat Clan. Reginald Copperbottom answers the phone and flies the Airship towards The Wall. After an hour, Henry gets to the cafeteria and tells Reginald to send a Drill Pod to save him. The Toppats inside cause a distraction as Henry uses his scooter to reach the Airship. Reginald then betrays Henry and drops him off the airship into the Beaufort Sea.
Following the inmate outbreak, Dmitri Johannes Petrov, fueled by revenge sends an army after Henry and Ellie. They are attacked by the Government troops who mistake them as Toppat reinforcements. Ivan Petroteva follows Ellie and Henry to the bridge, commanding Matteo Gurtchev to fire at them. Henry uses a Block and gets across. While talking to Right Hand Man and Reginald, Dmitri and Grigori interrupt them. Charles destroys part of the rocket and asks for Henry's help. If Ellie and Henry decide to team up with Charles, the entire rocket is destroyed then killing Dmitri and Grigori. If the convicts ally with the Toppat Clan, Grigori is killed and Dmitri is knocked out. Dmitri punches Ellie and strangles Henry, who recovers and throws him off the rocket.
The Wall is seen during the Mission Complete! cutscene when Henry reroutes the Toppat Orbital Station's course as part of his plan. It is likely Warden Petrov and his goons arrested the Toppats on board.Staff[]

Armament[]
The members of the wall are equipped with a variety of different vehicles and weapons to achieve their goals.
The guards of the wall mainly are equipped with Makarov pistols and AK-100 rifles. Some guards are also equipped with spears capable of firing lasers and Tactical Shotguns. Swords are also rarely used.
Vehicles[]
The Wall owns a wide variety of vehicles: Motorcycles, S.S. Annie, a Rocket and a Dinghy for transportation; Tanks, Humvees, Jeeps for capturing escaped inmates. Dmitri also owns a private vehicle himself.
While the presence of a Helipad may imply their ownership of choppers, no evidence of them has been discovered. Instead, the helipad may have been used by other factions.
Trivia[]
- PuffballsUnited confirmed that The Wall is located in Canada in a discord reply.[1][2] On the Henry Stickmin Collection Developer Commentary, he also mentioned it being on the north west, where it is closer to Russia.
- With this, the Wall may be located in the Canadian territory of Yukon. Considering that an Beaufort Sea is visible, it may be located in northwest Yukon, where the sea is located.
- When asked about why many Wall employees speaks with a Russian accent despite taking place in Canada, Puffballs stated "Because it's run by a Russian man and he likes to hire more Russians."[3] This confirms that Dmitri hired many more Russians to work at The Wall during his career.
- PuffballsUnited refused to disclose why was Henry imprisoned at the Wall.
- The Wall may be affiliated in some way with the Government of Canada, as they refer to Henry's Government (which in turn is based on the United States) as "some other government" in the intro of Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits. This can also explain why Henry was imprisoned despite government pardons - He may have committed felonies in locations other than the United States.
- The morality of the Wall is questionable. Although they appear to be on the side of the law and the Canadian government, they will resort to all methods in defense against hostile entities.
- In the International Rescue Operative route, the Guards don't hesitate to attack and kill Charles (a US government agent) from helping Henry to escape.
- The in-game bios reveal there are some inmates imprisoned without trial.
- In "Toppat Recruits/Pardoned Pals", the US military mistake The Wall's units as Toppats, as The Wall does not operate out of Canada and therefore remains unknown to them.
- At the end of "Master Bounty Hunter", one of Henry's new targets is Gastro, even though he is already imprisoned in The Wall, which hints to heavy censorship policies against other factions or he escaped and was spotted by the U.S.
- Anyone who tries to escape will be permanently locked up or frozen in Maximum Security.
- The "Pardoned Pals"/"Toppat Recruits" pathways is the only occasion where the faction goes after Henry and Ellie in Completing the Mission.
- Since it stems from Convict Allies and Pure Blooded Thief, where Henry and Ellie's actions inadvertently started a massive riot that destroyed Dmitri's reputation and career while not being allied with either the Government or the Toppat Clan. Due to their recent escape, Dmitri is given a perfect opportunity to exact his vengeance. Their absence in other cases are easily explained:
- In any Ending stemming from Government Supported Private Investigator, Relentless Bounty Hunter and most from Rapidly Promoted Executive, Henry is allied with a powerful faction that Dmitri can't possibly interfere with.
- In any Ending stemming from Ghost Inmate, Presumed Dead and The Betrayed, Henry either escaped for too long (and allied himself with a faction), is presumed dead or has been killed by Reginald, giving Dmitri no reason to pursue him further.
- While the faction does not make an appearance in other endings, the facility itself appears near the end of Triple Threat, where Ellie and Henry redirected the Toppat orbital station to The Wall and the rocket now sits perfectly in a hollow section of the complex, leaving its occupants at the mercy of Dmitri and his minions.
- The Wall is the only faction that will always be hostile toward Henry, regardless of any choices the player makes. Even if the player chooses to side with The Wall in the “Pure-Blooded Thief”/“Convict Allies” Pathway, The Wall will simply arrest Henry and Ellie and have them both frozen in Maximum Security.
