Bendu Olo strikes back : V

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:23 pm

The Colovian King of Anvil who led the All Flags Navy against the Sload of Thras shortly after the Thrassian Plague of 1E 2200.

- As from UESP

Bendu Olo first appeared as the default player name in the Oblivion CS. Additionally, when starting a new game, by continually pressing esc you automatically create a new character called: Bendu Olo.
Today, when I was ~~[censored] over my pc screen while~~ looking at the screenshots of Skyrim, I saw him. Bendu Olo. Well, his name.

Notice that he's a dark elf. Hmmm. I think that, if there would ever be a book about every TES game released, the main character would always be or an Imperial or a Dark Elf called Bendu Olo. What are your thoughts on this? Does Bethesda just like the name, or does it have a "deeper" meaning?

Some kind of an inside joke, I'd wager.

...ORLY?

I think that name might just be the John Doe of Tamriel.

Pretty much what Dreighton said. He's like a John Doe.

Who is he?

Old news. Really old (from 1E2200);)

Is it just me, or does the name Bendu Olo sound less Colovian, and more Jedi?
