| | + | '''The Captain''' has gone by many names, by many historians. However, most final historical records indicate that the key figure in the defeat of the [[Hierarchy]] was a [[Human]] named Zelnick. |
| | | | |
| − | Accounts differ as to what happened next. Some witnesses say Ponamorenko punched Blyoskin, who played Lineage II under the nickname "Sverkh," and that the student fell and hit his head on the asphalt, Rossia television reported.
| + | :''In the first release of [[Star Control II]], there was no default name; the first act in a new game was to name the captain and [[The Flagship|the flagship]]. The later released 3DO version named the captain '''Zelnick''' and the flagship '''Vindicator'''. In the Japanese version, the captain was Isamu and the flagship Kamui. |
| | | | |
| − | Tatarinova, however, said Ponamorenko stomped on Blyoskin's head while he lay on the ground.
| + | The Captain was born in a cave on the the colony world of [[Unzervalt]] in the [[Vela]] system, the son of an officer from the [[Tobermoon]] and a Research Team engineer. From a very young age he showed an unusual aptitude for communicating with [[Precursor]] computer systems, including the mainframe computer operating the factory that produced The Flagship. After Captain [[I. Burton]] was killed in a [[Slylandro]] [[Probe]] attack, he took control of the Unzervalt mission and piloted The Flagship from Unzervalt back to [[Earth]], and is generally agreed to have played a pivotal role in the events of our region of space from 2154-2159. |

| − | Ponamorenko was detained by police at the scene, she said. Blyoskin was subsequently hospitalized and died four days later as a result of his injuries, Tatarinova said. Blyoskin was buried at Moscow's Domodedovskoye cemetery Jan. 19, the student news portal Studencheskaya Pravda reported.
| + | Full details on The Captain are sketchy. Only one known [[:Image:Sc2_end_free_earth.png|image]], taken during his recovery after escaping the destruction of the [[Sa-Matra]] is available of The Captain during these events. From it, and from knowledge of the history of Unzervalt itself, we can conclude that he was [[Human]], male, probably white, and under 20 Earth years of age at the beginning of his mission, making his birthdate circa 2134. |
| | | | |
| − | Ponamorenko was formally charged with deadly aggravated assault Jan. 23, Tatarinova said.
| + | The Captain is believed to have had other adventures besides this one, but is known to have eventually retired peacefully on Unzervalt with the [[Talana]] of the [[Syreen]]. It is generally believed that The Captain and Talana had an intimate, romantic encounter aboard the [[Gaia]] [[Starbase]] during the events of Star Control II, but no one is sure because the lights were off. |

| − | Lineage II is an extremely popular game worldwide in the genre known as MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing game, in which players interact with one another in virtual worlds.
| + | The Pkunk have predicted that The Captain will have fourteen children, and that he will die at an early age. The degree of accuracy of this prediction is unknown; it is also unknown what the Pkunk mean by "early age" (as it is possible that they are much more long-lived than the Humans). |
