Jump to navigation Jump to search

Georg is a Belkan mercenary who was hired by the Erusean Air Force for a special squadron.[2]

Involved in the assassination of former president of Osea Vincent Harling,[2] Georg later became one of many Erusean deserters during the Lighthouse War. After the end of the war, Georg helped out at the refugee camp near the base of the International Space Elevator, handing out relief supplies to its residents.[3]

Biography

Born as a Belkan citizen, Georg was one of many Belkans who migrated to the Usean continent at some point. As a member of a mercenary unit consisting of foreigners, he was placed under a special Erusean air unit.[2]

Georg subsequently played a part in the assassination of Osean former president Vincent Harling[2] during a failed IUN rescue mission. However, Trigger was blamed for killing the ex-president and was sent to Spare Squadron.[4]

He was later involved to some extent with the Erusean Radicals' operation on Tyler Island.[5] As Erusean conservatives began executing Belkan citizens, Georg became one of many deserters and refugees stranded on the island until they were discovered and rescued by Avril Mead, Princess Rosa, Tabloid, and a number of 444th Air Base personnel.[6]

He later accompanied the group to the International Space Elevator's main support facility using a boat they had found.[6] On October 31, 2019, he assisted Avril and the others in escorting the refugees into the underground tunnel network connecting Selatapura and the space elevator while Osean-Erusean coalition forces engaged the Radicals in the air. As the Arsenal Bird Justice's drones began losing control and crashing, Georg and Tabloid quickly rescued refugee children in harm's way. Georg survived the event, while Tabloid was crushed by falling debris.[7]

Following the end of the Lighthouse War, Georg was tasked with handing out relief supplies to refugees now living at the base of the space elevator, a job that was originally intended for Tabloid.[3]

Trivia

  • It is currently a point of contention whether Georg or a UAV was responsible for the murder of Harling.
    • During Rescue, immediately after Gargoyle Squadron launches their missiles at the International Space Elevator, another F-14D Super Tomcat bearing Gargoyle Squadron's livery can be seen approaching from the west of the airspace. This jet doesn't seem to belong to Gargoyle Squadron, however, as all four of its members are positioned around the Space Elevator at that time. This strange F-14D will follow the player instead of joining with the rest of the Gargoyle aircraft.
    • Georg is described in his Japanese bio as being "involved in the Trigger incident". Similarly, Trigger's bio reads that "in the wake of a certain incident, he is sent to a penal unit". Putting these two blurbs together implies that Georg was responsible for the murder of Harling.
    • Georg's voice actor, Brandon Winckler, also voices the lines "Mage 2 fired that!" and "Friendly fire! I saw it!" Winckler's voice does not belong to any allied aircraft in the mission, nor does he voice AWACS Sky Keeper.
    • Édouard Labarthe's dialogue in Last Hope seems to imply that a UAV was responsible, but doesn't explicitly say that this was the case. His dialogue in the original Japanese script explicitly separates the events of Harling's assassination and the creation of drones that resemble Osean aircraft, seeming to eliminate all voiced evidence of a UAV being the culprit. However, in the cutscene following Harling's death, a mysterious F/A-18F Super Hornet flies past the player, the framing of the cutscene seeming to imply this aircraft was responsible.
      • What is unusual about this F/A-18F is that it lacks the distinctive red/blue lights emitted by converted drones in every other instance, leaving it uncertain whether it is meant to be unmanned or not.
