He got the devs stumped at BlizzCon last week with his knowledge of World of Warcraft, and subsequently gained internet fame as the "Red Shirt Guy". But no amount of ridicule and judgment can possibly bring the guy down now - Blizzard actually decided to honor his loyalty and patronage by turning him into a character in his favorite game's upcoming expansion, Cataclysm.

That's him, "Wildhammer Fact Checker" right next to Falstad Wildhammer, the very character he asked the devs about. And he's still got his red shirt on, with a few tweaks, of course.

Naturally, there were a lot of skeptics thinking this is just another fake. But Blizzard's Lead World Designer, Alex Afrasiabi, went over to the WoW forums to confirm that it's legit.
