Captain Olaf Hellman (played by [REDACTED]) is the oldest son of Captain George Hellman.
Olaf was raised to be his father's successor, to be better than his father. But Olaf was corrupted by the powers and freedoms granted by forces antithetical to his father. Olaf defected from the crew, and spent many years as a familiar face among pirates.
Alfredo Guiccini, the shows casting director, has noted on several occasions since the shows cancelation that they regret not casting Erik Gude, one of the other candidates for the role. "I think [REDACTED] did a fine job with the role," Guiccini "but I am incessantly haunted by the thought of where Gude could have taken the character."
Reboot Rumors[]
Several credible sources have reported that Gude is now under consideration for casting as a newly written older brother character for a potential reboot, but writers have not confirmed whether or not Gude is available for the project.
