Biggs, to Ceodore

Biggs and Wedge are two Red Wings soldiers 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. Being members of the Red Wings, Biggs has been shown piloting an airship and is presumed to be the higher ranking of the two. Biggs and Wedge are recurring character names from the series for—usually—a pair of soldiers named after Star Wars characters.

Profile

Appearance

Biggs wears a red suit of armor and a golden helmet, while Wedge wears a purple armor and silver helmet. In sprite art they are identical in appearance apart from the coloration, but in the 3D remake, Biggs's helmet is different, signifying his higher rank.

Personality

Biggs and Wedge question Cecil Harvey, the captain of the Red Wings, regarding the King of Baron's orders to seize the Water Crystal since the Mysidians didn't offer any resistance; they feel ambivalent on following such orders. In The After Years Biggs is hard on Ceodore Harvey 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. Both of them strive to encourage Ceodore to become a true member of the Red Wings.

Story

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

Final Fantasy IV

Red Wings Opening DS — 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.

Though not named, 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'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 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

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

FFIV TAY Steam Biggs final order — Biggs's final order.

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. 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.

FFIV TAY iOS Biggs & Wedge's Spirits — Biggs and Wedge's spirits.

Some time after the Creator has been felled, Kain Highwind, new leader of the Red Wings, asks Ceodore 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.
