Where did the image come from? As far as I'm aware, there's no known images for Drayson, as he's so far out that there's not actually anyone playing anymore from the same era. Orphaea Imperium 15:47, 25 December 2012 (GMT)

Hi Orphaea. As there are no known avatars for Drayson's character, I uploaded one that reflected his character as a powerful Dark Jedi (before he was removed as emperor by the Admins and banned by Sim Master Fizzban). Spytek was more of a problem: Although I knew his character was Falleen, he once used a generic ezBoard avatar of Palpatine and seemingly role-played his character as a Human. When I first researched Spytek, a veteran told me that, with the database wipe, Spytek switched races to Falleen after he left the Empire and when joined Gabriella Storm's Black Sun syndicate. Whether or not that is true, later GNS posts by Vodo and others seemingly retconned Spytek's actual race and it was less problematic from an IC standpoint to continue with the Human interpretation. I know there are a number of instances in Combine history in which a ruler is one race yet is role-played/retconned as another (such as Alex Tylger being Human instead of Hapan, Jii Dee being Kubaz instead of Anzati, as well as many other NAO figures, etc). As such, I uploaded an image of an Imperial dignitary who was Human to represent Spytek. Now, in contrast to Drayson and Spytek, the choice of Zaarin for Vodo is accurate. He used various images of Zaarin for over six years such as this one far longer than his later choice of Palpatine (which several emperors used). Images for the emperors in general are problematic. For example, Veynom uploaded an image of Emperor Piett that is from the later Dark Empire era as opposed to his actual earlier reign as emperor. Nevertheless, I think its better to have image rather than nothing at all. -- Rupert Havok 17:38, 25 December 2012 (GMT)
