He was revealed to be working for WICKED but helps Thomas, Minho, and Newt escape from WICKED's headquarters and remove their chips. Aris (Named after Aristotle): The only male member of Group B. He met Thomas in The Scorch Trials.
Aris Jones: Another boy who was involved with WICKED before the Maze. His role in his group was similar to that of Teresa's. He can speak telepathically with Thomas and Teresa and his best friend, Rachel, who was killed when Group B escaped their Maze. The tattoo on his neck designates him as "The Partner".
In The Scorch Trials, Group B escaped from a place called Maze B and took refuge in a gym, where Aris was abducted by WICKED and placed in the room of the only female member of the Gladers, Teresa. A member of the Gladers named Thomas discovered Aris while searching for Teresa who he later helped.
World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department, generally abbreviated to WICKED (WCKD in the film adaptation), is a flagitious organization that was originally formed to find a solution to the Flare Pandemic. They are the main antagonists of The Maze Runner franchise.
Newt is approached by Thomas on a rooftop and shows him his infection, as shown by the black veins on his right arm. Newt explains that the reason WCKD put him in the Maze was because they wanted to tell the difference between immunes like Thomas and people like himself.

Why didn t Thomas cure Newt?
The Flare Virus Cure Was A MacGuffin
Plus, with Thomas unable to get the "cure" to Newt in time to save his life, Thomas doesn't have much personal incentive to help resolve the pandemic, since everyone else he cares about is immune.
They discovered that Gally was immune to the Flare virus and decided to bring him to the Last City to help nurse him back to full health from the Griever sting and being stabbed by Minho. The ultimate reveal that Gally did not die in The Maze Runner was briefly set up in the original movie.
WICKED feels the only way to get the last information they need to create a cure is to dissect Thomas' brain while he's still alive. The procedure, of course, will kill him, but his sacrifice will save the human race. His agreement is no longer an option. They will do the operation whether he wants it or not.
After the attack, Paige wrote an email to the other WICKED members saying that although WICKED had failed in their original attempt to find a cure, they had ultimately succeeded in their goal of saving the human race by sending the surviving Immunes to a safe place where they could start to rebuild civilization.
Now Newt is known as "The Glue." You can guess what this means: Newt is the guy who holds all of the Gladers together. He's the more logical version of Minho: while Minho would run into a group of angry Cranks without any weapons, Newt would probably stay back and ponder the situation.
It is revealed that Aris is among those immune to the Flare. He is also one of the subjects who want their memories back (even though he already has his memories).
However, none of the Maze Runner movies ever explain why WCKD sent Teresa into the Maze. It seems improbable that she betrayed WCKD since she defends them fervently. In Maze Runner 4, the story could provide clarity about whether Teresa went into the Maze voluntarily and the purpose of her presence.
Disease Immunity: Teresa Agnes was shown to be immune to the deadly Flare virus and its effects. In Death Cure, when Ava Paige announced that the virus was airborne in the city dozens of the people wore mouth masks to be unable to breathe it, except for Teresa due to her immune gene keeping her unaffected.
Thomas tells the Keepers that he and Teresa were manipulated into designing the Maze because they share the gift of telepathy. He convinces the others that he and Teresa are now in as much danger as them, but he knows the way out. Thomas tells them in order to escape, they have to jump through the Griever Hole.
Gally's hatred of Thomas is ultimately driven by an unwavering commitment to rules and safety, as well as a deep desire to uncover the truth of the Gladers' circumstances.
Initially, Thomas and the rest of the teens from the first Maze Runner were seen as potential solutions to the Flare as they were the “Munies”, the rare one percent of human population that are immune to the virus.
Newt reveals that the reason WCKD put him in the Maze was because they wanted to tell the difference between immunes like Thomas and people like himself. Thomas tells Newt that he can cure him.
Newt gets scratched by one of the Cranks on his right forearm, consequently infecting him with the virus. How does Newt get infected on Maze Runner? So of the guys who were originally in the Glade in the books, most of them were already immune to the Flare.
Thomas agreed to the mission, but later became disillusioned with WCKD after witnessing the suffering of his friends in the glade. He resolved to rescue them from the maze, which led to his proposal of being sent into the glade as part of a plan to gather information and eventually rescue his friends [2].
It is eventually revealed that Thomas' blood contains a unique enzyme that can destroy the Flare virus [2]. In "The Death Cure" film, Teresa, one of the main characters, uses a small fragment of Thomas' blood and observes under a microscope that it snaps a dark-red vein with the virus in it, effectively killing it [2].
Sometime after being left behind in the WCKD lab by the Gladers, Gally is found still lying on the floor with the spear still in his chest by a crew, who, after discovering that he is immune to the Flare, pull the spear out of his chest and take him to the Last City to meet their leader, a Crank named Lawrence, who ...
Testing for the Final Candidate: The maze serves as the first part of a series of trials conducted by the organization known as WCKD (World Catastrophe Killzone Department) [1]. The boys are being monitored to determine who is the final candidate for a cure for a disease called the flare [1].
The only named people that I can find that reached the haven or whatever, the paradise at the end of the death cure, is Brenda, Jorge, Gally, Minho, Frypan, and presumingly Sonya unless she died fighting the WICKED people at the end.
