Other common names include chij-chan ( Mayan), jiboia ( Latin American), and macajuel ( Trinidadian). Within the exotic pet trade, it is also known as a "BCC", an abbreviation of its scientific name, to distinguish it from other boa species, such as Boa imperator or "BCI." Īll subspecies are referred to as "boa constrictors", and are part of a diverse group of New World boas referred to as "red-tailed" boas, comprising the species Boa constrictor and Boa imperator. Only one other vertebrate animal shares this trait, the theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex. Though all boids are constrictors, only this species is properly referred to as the "boa constrictor" - an instance of an animal having the same English common name and scientific binomial. This article focuses on the species Boa constrictor as a whole, and on the nominate subspecies B. A staple of private collections and public displays, its color pattern is highly variable yet distinctive. The species is native to tropical South America. The boa constrictor is a member of the family Boidae. It is unknown whether this implies some personal history between the two or if Grace was just more generally aware of Eckstein's past and found his actions exceptionally repulsive.The boa constrictor (scientific name also Boa constrictor), also known as the red-tailed boa, is a species of large, non-venomous, heavy-bodied snake that is frequently kept and bred in captivity. While Grace has no love for any Nazi she seems to hold especial contempt for Eckstein specifically, describing his death as the proudest moment of her tenure in the resistance. Eckstein contends that he no longer believes in the righteousness of the Nazi cause, but will continue his duties simply for the "love and respect" of the men under his command. Sudden bouts of guilt have surfaced over his actions in Boston, and his faith in the Nazi philosophy has also been shaken by the revelation of the truth behind the Reich's technological triumphs, classified information revealed to him as he rose to his current rank. Despite his current marriage, he is haunted by the death of his past lover Elize, and becoming a father has also changed his views of his past actions. He mentions that he no longer takes pride in the reputation his nickname gave him, and is now filled with doubt. The Unnamed Überkommandant's Note found in the sewers beneath Bienville Street suggests that Eckstein is greatly conflicted at the time of his assassination. He is also very specific when giving instructions. Based on his dialogue, He values efficiency, loyalty and a calm demeanor from the troops under his command, especially when working in a hazardous environment such as the irradiated ghetto. A conversation between two soldiers at the beginning of the side mission featuring him reveals that between his unnerving gaze and his reputation he manages to scare even his own troops. Blazkowicz.Įckstein receives notably more character development than most of the Übercommanders, though much of it is indirect. This assignment would be his last while issuing orders to troops on Bienville Street, he was killed by William J. upon Eckstein's death īy July 1961, Eckstein had become one of the extremely influential Übercommanders within the American territories it was at this time that he was deployed in the former New Orleans ghetto, leading an operation to search for any notable intelligence for documentation, as well as recover the bodies of soldiers killed during the purge of the city and subsequent detonation of a nuclear warhead by the Kreisau Circle. Perhaps the people of Boston can finally rest in peace." ―Grace to B.J. I have never been so proud to be part of the resistance.
