That was an old Arty concept skin I believe

His name is Arty. I think this picture is from alpha stage or from times when Dirty Bomb was Extraction.

Ohh that kinda makes sense, was he the same race? He looks a bit aryan to me

“Aryans” have blond hair. Let’s not get into this subject, shall we?

Arty has always been Asian, was always the same VO’s when they were implemented.

That’s Fletcher.

The Aryan I believe he was referring to was its initial meaning. Now known as Indo-Aryan most of them would be considered Asian since the majority of those speakers are from South Asia.

It’s indeed Arty. This is one of what used to be known as “Elite Skins”: alternate models for the mercs, sort of like the Founders skins but without the exclusivity. A number of concept designs were seen during the Alpha for various mercs that were not part of the “Founders 5”, but to my knowledge only 2 were ever made into actual game models (and even then they were never available for us to play with): the Arty above and the Bushwhacker below (from the DB FB page).

No idea if these will ever make it into the actual game…

More like from Pakistan down through India and including most countries bordering China and India. But yes and that is South Asia, which can be referred to as Asians.

They definitely should use as another type of card, not Obsidian since the 4 Obsidians and the upcoming Phoenix Obsidian’s design didn’t change, only colors.

I love this: aryan meaning in germany with the WW2 fail interpretation… and when they find out where aryans truly origin from.
“Im a proud aryan… I cant come from a muslim landscape”… “But you do, bro!” xDDD

Yeah, but the founder cards are obsidians that changed the design of the merc, so why can’t these ones be obsidian?
