Isn't this commander Kim Soares?

Bonus: A little Kim-related riddle. What music band was the major source of inspiration for creating EIC?

Hint:

"Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea."

Methinks that's Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Does this mean I get a prize?

IIRC, Kim was wearing a Maiden t-shirt one day at GDC.

I was googling for some photos to make sure Kim resembles one captain in EIC - I've seen him only on Youtube EIC presentation before. Although I don't use Facebook I found his profile where he states he is an Iron Maiden fan. Just as I do.

Well... what about this? If you want it in a wallpaper size, google images "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". It makes a good desktop wallpaper for any Iron Maiden fan playing EIC


Rime of the East Indiaman
