The Fake George Oldzieys Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Continuing our focus on the Wing Commander Orchestral Recording Project Volume 2 Kickstarter, we're going to take another look at George Oldziey. But we've already told you a lot about the talented composer... so what about George Oldziey in the Wing Commander universe? That's right, like many other developers, Mr. Oldziey is tuckerized at least twice in the Wing Commander canon. His first appearance (pictured) comes as 'Blade' from Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom, one of the game's host of redshirt wingmen. Blade is a Border Worlds pilot you can fly with once you defect, and you can find his name when selecting options for a mission. Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander IV adds a short bio about Blade:

Blade has been flying with the Border Worlds for a relatively short time. Before he became a combat pilot, he was a skimmer pilot for reconnaissance groups. He gets the job done, but is more used to seeing combat only at a distance. He’s not used to worrying about comrades, or hearing them die. The idea of potential “friendly fire” situations somewhat unnerves him, and sometimes he gets confused in combat.

One more odd piece of trivia: in the Playstation port of Wing Commander IV, the name George Oldziey is changed to "Lon Meineke" (as are many of the other redshirts.)

But I know what you're saying: Oldziey isn't a person, he's a place! On Wing Commander Prophecy, team members (and well-wishers) were given their own star systems on the included Wing Commander Universe Map. George's star is located in the Ladyman Quadrant of the Hawking Sector (far left of the map, spinward.)
