Role

In Advance Wars

Olaf leads the Blue moon forces that invaded Orange Star, manipulated by Sturm. When the invasion was driven back he is said to meet up with Sturm, causing Grit and Sonja to catch the trail of the enigma orchestrating the events across Cosmo Land. Olaf later realises his mistake and can be one of the COs in the final battle depending on which missions the player cleared earlier in the campaign.

In Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

As commander of the Blue Moon forces, Olaf leads them to halt the Black Hole invasion led by Lash. During this invasion, his hometown is ravaged by Lash, an atrocity he has yet to forgive her for. After the liberation of Blue Moon, Olaf can be used in CO select missions in the Yellow Comet, Green Earth, and Black Hole Campaigns.

In Advance Wars: Dual Strike

Olaf makes no formal appearance in Advance Wars: Dual Strike. However, he is cloned and utilized against the Allied Nations during the Omega Land war. Upon completion of the campaign, he is available for use in the Hard Campaign.
