Porter

"Thank you very much for your help." — Porter thanking Audrey.

Porter is a friendly Lost One with the ability to Flow, who encounters Audrey during his explorations.

History

Playing hide-and-seek

During Wilson Arch's takeover of the ink realm, Porter was traveling through the Tunnels before he met Heidi. The two agreed to play a game of hide-and-seek. Heidi went into hiding while Porter was the seeker. Porter traversed throughout the Tunnels while also avoiding being caught by the Ink Demon. Once he found Heidi for the third time, the Keepers spotted them. Porter managed to escape, however Heidi did not, and was taken away by the Keepers to The Pit.

Audrey's sighting

Audrey first sees Porter over a massive gap, hunting for supplies in a metallic box. Once Audrey steps onto the platform opposite to him, he notices her, waves, and teleports away.

After Audrey crosses the gap and goes in the direction Porter went, she'll discover him stuck inside a pipe, surrounded in ink. He greets her and tells her that because he's stuck, so is she, and then asks for help. She proceeds to Banish away the ink surrounding him, causing him to fall all the way down the pipe. Audrey then decides to follow.

Once Audrey lands, Porter will thank her for the help, tell her his name, and ask what hers is. She does, but Porter decides that it doesn't suit her, instead calling her "Bobby". Then, he gives her the Flow ability as a gift. He then flows away, yelling out goodbye.

The finale

Porter appears as Beast Bendy goes through the Dark Laboratory Halls, saying hi to "Bobby" before flowing away. He later appears next to Henry before the end.

Characteristics

Physical appearance

Like most Lost Ones, Porter possesses yellow glowing eyes and shares a similar form to humans, only being made of ink rather than flesh and obscuring any distinguishing human features. He wears a pair of goggles atop his head and carries a thick rope slung across his torso, which is attached to a large hook.

Personality

While most Lost Ones lack humanity, Porter retains stronger remnants of his former self. Unlike many other ink creatures, he displays kindness and warmth, greeting Audrey with a friendly wave upon their first encounter. He can be accident-prone, as suggested by his mishap of getting stuck in a pipe, which prompts Audrey's help.

Porter also shows a quirky, playful side, frequently laughing and spontaneously giving Audrey the nickname "Bobby." He thanks Audrey sincerely and shares his Flow ability with her before disappearing, showing his gratitude and generosity.

Abilities

Mastering the secrets from the Machine, Porter's sole ability is using Flow, which allows him to move faster from one area to another.

Gameplay

Strategy

Bendy: Lone Wolf

In the Tunnels level, The main objective is to find Heidi three times as she hides around the level. Porter is equipped with the Flow ability that allows him to gain distance and cut corners to escape the Ink Demon roaming the level. However, usage of Flow consumes stamina, which can be refilled by using the Tasty Eats' vending machines located throughout the level. Porter can also hide inside the Little Miracle Stations found around the level to avoid and hide from enemies.

Behind the scenes

Porter is a character who first appeared in Bendy and the Dark Revival, and appeared in Bendy: Lone Wolf as one of the playable characters.

Development

Main article: Lost One (player)

The playable Lost One in Boris and the Dark Survival, who was first added in The Unleashed update, seems to be a "prototype" of Porter, either before or after his conceptualization came to light in production of Bendy and the Dark Revival. This is evidental, since Porter replaces this Lost One in Bendy: Lone Wolf.

In terms of the character's AI behavior, the only difference is that the Lost One in Boris and the Dark Survival only walks at very slow pace and uses light source, as opposed to Porter who walks at normal speed and use Flow in Bendy: Lone Wolf but does not carry any light source with him.
