Olaf (Advance Wars)

Olaf is the Commander-In-Chief of Blue Moon. He is initially presented as an antagonist in the first game until it is revealed that he was deceived by Black Hole.

Olaf is shown to be incredibly greedy. In the first game, he is only concerned with land and power. He is also shown to be a rather incompetent commander in the first game. He forgets to fuel his air units, and uses his Battleships to fend off Submarine attacks, leaving his base wide open for attack.

As time goes on, however, Olaf grows to become a responsible leader and it's shown he actually does care for his men. He is also shown to be an excellent strategist in later games.

History
Olaf's backstory is different in the first two Advance Wars games. In Advance Wars, it is stated that he was the former commander-in-chief of Orange Star before leaving them to join Blue Moon. However, in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, it is stated that he was born and raised in Blue Moon.

In Advance Wars, Olaf is tricked into declaring war on Orange Star by Clone Andy. However, after it is revealed that he was deceived, he and the rest of Blue Moon team up with the other forces to defeat Black Hole.
