Recently, the series has been rebooted with MachineGames’The New OrderandThe New Colossus.
Let’s take a look at 10 things you didn’t know about BJ Blazkowicz.
In addition to his Polish lineage, BJ Blazkowicz is also Jewish.
This gives him yet another reason to take the fight to the Nazis, making it even more personal.
8Abusive Childhood
Perhaps unsurprisingly, BJ’s childhood was not easy.
He did not grow up in affluence or wealth, but instead lived on a ranch with his parents.
Something that is briefly touched on in the games is BJ’s father’s abusiveness.
This abuse actually shaped BJ into someone who rebelled against overbearing authority, such as the fascist Nazi order.
7Adventurous Youth
BJ has never been one to sit still, even as a child.
His youth consisted of numerous adventures and escapades, despite or perhaps because of the warnings of his father.
These orders and instructions did nothing, as BJ continued to defy his father.
His adventures included swimming through the Gulf during Red Tide, which caused burning sensations all over his skin.
No matter the age, BJ has always faced challenges head on.
This wasn’t as simple as just leaving home, though.
His father disapproved, of course, due to his abusive and controlling nature.
Regardless, BJ felt the duty to do something about the German threat and left to fulfill that obligation.
His proficiency with weapons is notable, as he often wields multiple guns and other devices of destruction.
One lesser known skill is his multilingualism.
He is, of course, fluent in English as it is his native tongue.
He is also proficient with German, although his accent is atrocious.
He began in boot camp, where he learned critical skills and knowledge.
BJ and Fergus worked well together, and the two became friends in addition to comrades in arms.
It was Fergus who gave BJ the nickname “Blazko,” derived from his last name.
Sadly, BJ’s attempt on Hitler’s life was ultimately unsuccessful.
The details of what happened next are somewhat foggy.
The Reich claimed that BJ was captured and hanged to death, although clearly this is not the case.
BJ may have escaped his execution, or he may have simply escaped, full stop.
