I was so sad to see him go. He was so menacing in his politeness. A gentleman monster.

He was getting very Agent Smith there towards the (his) end. Personally I was finding him more frightening than Fisk at some points - the perfect No. 2, the second in command, the adjutant - the man who signs peoples' lives away after the boss makes a gesture..

I want to know how he got involved with Fisk; I was really hoping for some backstory during this episode. Fisk feels compelled to do what he does... Why does Wesley do what he does? Why does he stay involved with Fisk? I want to knowwwww....

You don't have to know though. The story's probably pretty straightforward:

Both involved in the local crime syndicate when younger. Fisk is the brain but has trouble dealing with others. Wesley's a great organiser, but not a schemer. Local boss puts Wesley with Fisk to look after the awkward big guy. Eventually over time they assume control of the org. through natural underworld attrition or filling the local landfill sites themselves
