IGN Article about Coyote

I was skimming through some gaming articles when I came across this:


The People Who Live Forever in the Games They Loved

City of Heroes – Coyote

When the sun set on Paragon City in late 2012 and heroes from around the globe were forced to hang up their capes for the last time, there was a great deal of mourning. Of all that was lost, however, one of the most poignant things has to be the in-game tribute to Matthew Bragg, a CoH fan who unfortunately passed away shortly after the game's original release.

In life, Bragg had been one of the first pre-beta members on the official City of Heroes boards, posting under the moniker of Kiyotee. Always friendly and helpful to new recruits, it was only fitting following his death that members of the development team decided to add a new NPC to the world in order to commemorate him.

The NPC superhero Coyote, who also bore the real name of Matthew Bragg, was Old Man Coyote's avatar on earth, and found in the tutorial zone where he had a chance to kindly share his wisdom with newcomers long after his namesake was no longer able to do so. Though City of Heroes may be gone, memories of Coyote and the other heroes met along the way will undoubtedly live in the minds of Paragon's denizens for some time to come.

Although I played the game for years (I started back in late 2006) I never knew this.
