They'll both appear as recruitment missions on the mission page, and will appear outside the pub that acts as a safehouse in Watch Dogs Legion. There doesn't appear to be any mission unlock requirements attached for either characters, you simply need to own Bloodline. All you have to do is load a save after starting Bloodline and you'll be able to recruit Aiden Pearce and Wrench into the game. Most importantly, Wrench and Aiden can be unlocked and recruited in the main game. However, there are some things that you can unlock in Bloodline that carry on over to the main game. It's treated as a completely fresh start, which makes sense considering the story takes place before the original game. That means that none of what you have in the main game will carry over into the DLC. Watch Dogs 2 may have been his last journey, but at least he was the star of the show there and not some background drone.Bloodline is treated as a separate part to Watch Dogs Legion, with separate characters, missions, side-missions and progression systems. To put it simply, Marcus Holloway is the only thing that would make Watch Dogs Legion interesting for me, but it’s clear that he isn’t coming any time soon. It’s such a strange move from Ubisoft after such positive reception to the character, and his voice actor, Ruffin Prentiss, actually stating interest in returning to Watch Dogs. I’m as eager to see a modern-day Assassin’s Creed as the next guy but are you telling me that a random Assassin takes priority over Marcus? Okay fine, for the sake of the long-standing connection between them I’ll accept that some players would want this, but are you telling me that Watch Dogs players want Mina over Marcus? Some random psychic isn’t what players wanted to see, especially those Watch Dogs fans loyal and interested enough to buy the game’s season pass.
Then you’ve got the other two characters, which is where things get a little bit ridiculous. He’s a fantastic character that has his own personality and moments in Watch Dogs 2, but he rarely shows his personality as anything other than jokes. I’m not sure that Legion’s story has the gravitas that it wants to have, but if it does then I sincerely doubt that Wrench can provide on any of the game’s emotional beats. He ticks the box of being nostalgic for fans of the series, whilst also offering something different from Aidan Pearce. He’s the meme-y, fun-loving, destructive character that everyone loved from Watch Dogs 2. It makes sense why Wrench is getting in the game - he’s much more marketable. The desire for a more grounded character is understandable, but Marcus can be just as grounded and isn’t as bland and hateful as Aidan. Do people really want Aidan Pearce over Marcus? Mr Iconic Cap? Aiden Pearce is a brick wall compared to the beautiful graffiti that is Marcus, and his abilities would be so much less interesting than Marcus’ as there’s literally nothing he can do that Marcus can’t. Marcus’ competition is also pretty laughable. I’m sure that Wrench will mention Marcus and the crew and reveal a bit more about them through some of his dialogue in the DLC, but I’d rather just be seeing the character himself. His story was much more interesting than Aidan’s and ended in a pretty open way. Legion is also set some time after Watch Dogs 1 and 2, so it’d be really interesting to see what Marcus is up to. Really he’s the perfect middle ground between the two characters, which is possibly why he wasn’t picked to join the game. Marcus is funny whilst having moments of grief and seriousness, has relatable motives that tackle serious issues, and players have seen his growth after following him in the second game.
He’s not just after vengeance like Aidan, and he’s not all about his explosions and memes like Wrench. The core characters of the game were all fleshed out and given time to develop, and Marcus is easily the highlight.
That story followed Marcus Holloway as he joined DedSec to fight back against a racist system that labelled him as a risk. Watch Dogs 2 was a fantastic game, but one of its surprising highlights was its story. Marcus Holloway is the perfect fit for a DLC character, and I’m shocked that Ubisoft hasn’t realised that. Playing as those two is definitely preferable to randomly generated Joe Bloggs, but they aren’t the character that Legion truly needs.

Replacing that with a random character generator was a pretty weird move by Ubisoft, but their DLC plans seem to be reversing on that a little bit by offering clearly defined characters like Aidan Pearce and Wrench.
