Blizzard Entertainment has paid tribute again to one of their artists who passed away on March 18, 2004. After completing the mission titled "Belly of the Beast" a cinematic shows Jim Raynor returning to the surface of Char where he finds General Waterfield's team decimated by the Zerg.
Jim Raynor approaches a dead Marine, and kneels before him to grab his dog tag. Those with sharp eyes may have caught the name: M. Koiter on the dog tag. It stands for Michel Koiter (Twincruiser) a former Son of the Storm.
Back in 2004, when World of Warcraft was launched, Blizzard Entertainment paid tribute to Michel Koiter by adding the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior located in a hill to the west of Crossroads (The Barrens). The runes form the letters MK (Michel Koiter). The Spirit Guide before the fallen warrior is named Koiter.
