Biggs and Wedge

Biggs and Wedge are a running gag in the Final Fantasy series. They appear always as a duo, and are named after Star Wars characters Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antilles, Luke Skywalker's Red Squadron wingmen in Episode IV: A New Hope.

Final Fantasy IV
Biggs and Wedge appears in Final Fantasy IV: The After as Red Wings soldiers who die protecting Prince Ceodore from an attack led by the Mysterious Woman.

Final Fantasy VI
In Final Fantasy VI, Biggs and Wedge are temporary playable characters. They are soldiers of the Empire, and accompany Terra Branford on her mission to Narshe at the beginning of the game. Upon reaching the frozen Esper, however, they dissapeared and was never seen again. Ted Woolsey, the translator for the game, translated them as Vicks and Wedge due to his reputation for creative translations. Vicks was changed back to Biggs in subsequent re-releases.

Equipment and Stats
Vicks and Wedge are temporary characters, and their stats are never seen because they spend their entire time seen in Magitek Armor. They come equipped with a MithrilBlade and Buckler, as well as leather hats and armor, but they can never be removed as they are temporary.

Abilities
Biggs and Wedge use Magitek as their special ability.

However, the player can gain earlier access to the Highwaste by riding a Chocobo up to them. Gibbs will reveal his hatred of Chocobos, and start to back off, claiming he used to work around Chocobos when he was younger, and could never get their smell out without the help of cologne. Eventually, he'll run away, and Deweg will follow, opening up access to the Highwaste. This is the only time players can see the two.
