—Rashidi

Rashidi (Arabic: رشيدي)[note 1] is a campaign-exclusive hero unit as well as the charismatic leader of the Scorpion Cell, an African and Middle Eastern terrorist organization.

Overview[]

Although Rashidi counts as a hero unit from the emblem next to his figure, he doesn't play much of a role in actual combat. His hand cannon can only deal heavy damage to infantry and some light vehicles, so it's best not to let Rashidi face the battle head-on alone.

Rashidi also has a feature: in some missions, he can turn the Stinger into repair mode by entering it.

Behind the scenes[]

  • Rashidi's original SHP sprite is a public asset that can be used by other modders. The link can be found here.
    • His sprite is actually Jango Fett from Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns, converted to become usable in Red Alert 2.
  • Rashidi as a character succeeds a character named Prince Aziz who was scrapped sometime during 2011-2012. The name Aziz still exists within the game files (for instance, terms like "AzizMove" and "AzizSelect" is used by Rashidi, meaning that Rashidi uses the scrapped character's voiceset).[1]
    • In addition, Rashidi's Palace was named Aziz's Palace during development, which supports the information above.

Trivia[]

  • Rashidi is a variant of Rashid, which means "rightly guided" in standard Arabic, that is typically used in North African countries.
  • Unlike the other hero units, he does not have a move to attack and being under fire voiceset.
