* [[Executive Meddling]]: You might be wondering why his codename in Japanese is written in Kanji instead of Katakana like the other characters or his real name. That's because the Katakana variation of his name sounded a bit too close to "Ladin" (as in, "Osama Bin Ladin," the leader of al Qaida and the mastermind behind 9/11) for people's comforts due to the game having a similar plot to the 9/11 attacks, and it being released just a few months after the 9/11 attacks. |
