History
Niculcea Dumitrescu was the 3044 Solaris Games Grand Champion.[1]
Apocryphal Character Information
Niculcea Dumitrescu is mentioned by name in the fluff text for two "Solaris Games Veteran" cards for the BattleTech Collectible Card Game (CCG), in the MechWarrior and Commander's Edition (otherwise identical):
“ | Champion don't mean squat. Ever hear of Niculcea Dumitrescu? Grady Kiefer? Chaka Mobutu? I didn't... oh, uh, hello, Kai.... | ” |
This implies that Niculcea Dumitrescu's fame and career in the Solaris Games was short-lived, and that he or she was largely forgotten again a few years later already.
It should be noted that the CCG cards, although official, do explicitly not count among the canonical sources for BattleTech at this time. The fluff text quoted above must therefore be considered apocryphal.
BattleMechs
Unknown.
Notes
- In the real world, "Niculcea" is a town (village) in northern Romania and also a last name, but is apparently not usually used as a first name. Dumitrescu is a relatively common Romanian surname.
