In Rogue, there was a Nort master sniper called Morgan, or Morgin, or something like that. He was the guy with the black domer chem-helmet.
I'm too lazy to look through a large pile of tatty back-prgs, so can someone confirm the spelling of his name, please?
Ta.

Actually, you're wrong. His name was officially Major Snooty Snooty Bum Clouds IV and he had a pet starfish called Spikey Mikey.
It's true, don't listen to the rest of them, if they say anything different to me then they're lying, I have proof!

I agree with LMS.
I'm also a little perturbed that Gordon's mentioning Rogue again.

Yeah, Morgen
Bgamna: Wha...? But Helm detected no-one within sniping range!
Traitor: Ordinary snipers, that is.
"One of the deadliest of the nort snipers!"
"He wears the black dome of a thousand sealburst marksman"
Any other questions, happy to help as I have the story here. Titan book 4.
Cheers
Paul
p.s. notice the line about helm detecting things normally you wankers!

Morgen the Merciless Marauder Marksman, to give him his full name.
Helm ends up with Player the Peerless Pilot.
Clearly, GFD was experimenting with alliteration that day...

As you wish!
Actually I wondered if this meant another series rather than the game, but as the game it is, fair enough.
I could tell you what happens to Morgen...
SPOILERS
He gets dropped out of a chopper into a puddle and we presume he's dead.
Glop!

Helm actually used his scanners all the time while Dave Gibbons was drawing him.
Still think that Rogue should have swapped him round with Gunner after he got his telekinetic powers. Then, not only would he have a talking hat, he'd have a flying talking hat! That would be cool.

He could throw him like a death-frisbee. then who'd be laughin' at the hat? Eh? Eh?

He could fly ahead adn scout for danger!
I'm just off the phone after suggesting this to the games guys. It was a bad line, but I heard the word "fired", and then the line went strangely dead.
File under "well, of course he would say that", but I played the game properly for the first time last week, and it was really good fun. Highlight so far is putting Gunnar into sniper mode and shooting the Norts' air tanks. The air hisses out of it for a few seconds, and then they blow up, taking out anyone standing nearby. Top comedy violence!
And then I fell down a cliff...

According to Gerry Finley-Day's Monicker Manual...
Take it from yer Uncle Gerry, naming Norts is a piece of the proverbial piss. What you do is swipe any old name from a WWII documentary and change ONE letter only. This saves time. Tirpitz becomes Torpitz, Wagner is Vagner, Morgan is Morgen etc. But remember, sticking a "von" in the middle or making up any old Russkie-sounding tosh with an -ov on the end is for hacks...

as helm was always on pillow duty, perhaps he could have been used as a subliminal lingua-phone tutor in conversational nort:
repeat after me....

*nain, nain....bio-wire*
*stak! las-nest!!!*

But... they already did a story about Gunnar getting slotted into helms helmet (Jeez...)and flying about. It happened when Rogue got the chips mixed up because he was really pissed (or blinded by Nort blinding rockets or something). He even chopped through a Norts air hose (hehe) just like some sort of death frisbee.
