Lore & Background
Big Man emerged as a central figure when Octarian forces began encroaching on Inkling territories with renewed aggression. Unlike previous generations of Splatoon agents, his leadership style involves direct coordination from a mobile base rather than frontline combat in every instance, though he is not above joining the fray when critical stakes arise. He carries the legacy of the original Squidbeak Splatoon, ensuring that the spirit of resistance survives despite the changing tides of war.
In Their Own Story
The radio crackled with static before a smooth, commanding voice cut through the noise. 'Agent, status report,' Big Man's tone was calm despite the chaos outside the hideout. Through the window, ink splattered against the metal walls as Octobot drones screeched in the distance. He adjusted his sunglasses, reflecting the neon glow of the underground city. 'We move now,' he stated, checking a weapon that hummed with energy. The fate of the turf rested on this moment.
Reader's Guide
The New Squidbeak Splatoon operates as the primary resistance force against Octarian occupation in Splatoon 3, organized under Big Man's command. Their goal is to liberate Inkling territories and uncover the true source of the Octarians' sudden resurgence. They utilize sabotage tactics, stealth missions, and turf war strategies to destabilize enemy strongholds before launching direct assaults. Membership consists of elite agents like Agent 3, alongside specialized support staff who manage equipment and intelligence. Big Man coordinates these efforts from a mobile headquarters known as the New Squidbeak HQ. In the conflict against True Colors and Judd, this faction serves as the backbone of Inkling defense. They balance guerrilla warfare with large-scale confrontations, ensuring that the culture of Splats is preserved despite the existential threat posed by the Octarian empire.
