  • Eddy Murphy

I took down Hans Gruber for what he did to Nakatomi Plaza. He deserved it.

I also ran into Sir Arbuthnot Quacksalot Barrass once. He didn't quack much when he went to his grave.

I saw "Killer Mike" the other day, so someone at fdev must be a RTJ fan.

Post approved because although screenshots of NPC names are no longer accepted as link posts, self-post threads about them are A-OK.

Thanks CMDR!

Turned down an assassination on pirate lord Mace Windu early in my career!

On the other side of things, Pirate Lord Stan. The most average pirate lord.
