Biggs, to Ceodore

Biggs and Wedge are two Red Wings who are unnamed in Final Fantasy IV, though they appear as temporary playable characters in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years and are given a story role as well.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Final Fantasy IV

The Red Wings soldiers.

Biggs: We are the Red Wings―the pride of Baron! Must we now be thieves, sent to plunder from the weak??

Cecil: Enough.

Wedge: But, Lord Captain! The Mysidians offered no resistance! And still we cut them down.

Biggs and Wedge speaking to Cecil.

It is revealed in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years that Biggs and Wedge were the two Red Wings soldiers who questioned Cecil Harvey about the King of Baron's orders to raid of Mysidia to obtain the Water Crystal, as the Mysidians offered no resistance and had done no harm.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-

Biggs and Wedge ride on the same airship as Cecil and Rosa when they go to Damcyan to celebrate its reconstruction, but they stay behind within the airship and they do not attend the celebration. Biggs has been appointed vice-captain, and he is the one who is piloting the airship.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Biggs and Wedge assist Ceodore in the Adamant Isle.

You are the last... of the Red Wings, Ceodore... We, the Red Wings... are the greatest airship fleet in the skies...the pride of Baron! My orders... are the law... to you...

Biggs's last words to Ceodore

Biggs and Wedge are still members of the Red Wings seventeen years later and lead Ceodore to the Adamant Isle so that he can become a knight.

Captain Biggs is hard on Ceodore and berates him, and even goes so far to smack Ceodore across the face for talking back to him. Wedge, by contrast, is already confident in the prince, and takes good care of him almost to the point of mollycoddling. This is done to encourage Ceodore to become a true member of the Red Wings.

Biggs's final order.

Their airship crashes after being attacked by monsters. Biggs covers Ceodore during the crash, and leaves Ceodore as the only survivor and member of the Red Wings. Biggs issues Ceodore his final orders before passing away, and tells him to return to Baron alive.

When Cecil's dark side attacks Ceodore's father and Golbez in the True Moon Subterrane, the spirits of Biggs and Wedge appear before Ceodore to give him words of motivation so that he will protect his family.

Biggs and Wedge's spirits.

Some time after the Creator has been felled, Kain Highwind, new leader of the Red Wings, gives Ceodore a quest; to rebuild the world after the destruction caused by the Creator. Biggs and Wedge's spirits flank Kain, and tell Ceodore they would be disappointed if he complains.

Spoilers end here.
