Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam/Characters

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita (JP), Jonathan Lachlan-Stewart (EN)
Kamille Bidan is the protagonist of Zeta Gundam. Kamille is a troubled teen whose home colony became the main base for the tyrannical Titans group, a group for which Kamille developed resentment. This culminated in him joining the AEUG to fight the Titans, believing that someone should stand up for what he believes in. Though he can be reckless and arrogant, his character is marked by compassion, and as the series progresses, he vows to stop the war, no matter the personal cost.

""Kamille's a Man's name! AND I'M A MAN!""
 * Ace Pilot
 * Ambiguous Disorder: Kamille sucks at relating to people. Like Amuro before him, he'd rather spend his time with machines.
 * Back-to-Back Badasses: Does this with his fellow pilots a lot, especially Quattro.
 * Big Brother Mentor / Stern Teacher: To Katz. Unfortunately, it's Katz.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Fa.
 * Berserk Button: Don't make fun of him for having a girly-sounding name if you don't want to get into a fight...at least until around the halfway point, which after he really doesn't care.
 * Character Development: Whilst still prickly, he chills out considerably over the course of the series.
 * Character Tics: Chewing on his thumbnail when under stress.
 * Foil: To Jerid and Scirocco. See their entries for more on that.
 * Gender Blender Name: Kamille particularly hated his feminine-sounding name - and thus tried to assert his manhood by learning martial arts and developing a hobby in amateur mobile suit creation.
 * For the record, "Camille" is gender neutral.


 * Generation Xerox: He might have inherited the hobby in ameteur mobile suit creation from his parents: both were Federation officers and among the main engineering team that designed the Titan's prototype unit, RX-178 Gundam Mk-II.
 * Hurting Hero
 * Hot Blooded: While fighting. He's sometimes like this outside his mecha too, if angered enough, especially early on. Later he learns to control his emotions, but he still can get pretty loud if you piss him off.
 * Informed Ability: Mild example. Kamille is without a doubt a superb Ace Pilot, but not noticeably more so than Amuro, Judau, or any of the other protagonists in the series. So, to make him seem more Badass than he really is, Tomino has everyone, on both sides, comment on just how great a fighter Kamille is and how only a truly awesome Newtype could be doing what he is doing.
 * It's Personal: With Jerid
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold
 * Lightning Bruiser: The Zeta Gundam.
 * Love At First Sight: With Four
 * Mid-Season Upgrade: From the Gundam Mark II to the Zeta Gundam.
 * Military Brat
 * Mood Swinger
 * Parental Abandonment:
 * Psychic Powers Of course. He's a Newtype, but doesn't accept it until late in the series.
 * A VERY powerful Newtype as well. The actions Kamille pulls off in the Zeta at the end of the series are completely insane, even for a Newtype,  Take a minute to remember this is a Gundam series.
 * It gets even crazier in Gundam ZZ, Zeta's sequel. When Kamille
 * Ramming Always Works:.
 * Revenge Before Reason: Kamille displays a tendency to seek revenge without thought for the consequences from the start of the series. In the first two episodes alone he attacks a member of the Titans with his fists for making an off-hand comment about how girly his name sounds, calls a Military Police officer who has him in custody a brute, attacks said officer physically when he throws something at Kamille for insulting him -- in the middle of the prison and just after his mother's lawyer comes to bail him out... And then he runs out of the prison, ignoring the chaos all around him from a crashed mobile suit and his mother's presence, to Gundamjack the Mk II Gundam for the purpose of "getting back" at the MP officer for having him beaten in response to being attacked. He even ends up joining the AEUG as part of his way of "getting even" with the Titans, after first menacing the aforementioned MP officer with his newly hijacked mobile suit.
 * The Rival: He and Jerid have a nasty one going. It largely involves them killing one another's loved ones.
 * Super Prototype: The Zeta Gundam, and to a lesser degree, the Mark II.
 * Teen Genius: He was well-known as an amateur mecha builder before he left his colony, and later he designed the Zeta Gundam.
 * Transforming Mecha: The Zeta Gundam.
 * Would Hit a Girl: Ask Lila about that. Or Rosamia.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: It's blue.

Quattro Bajeena (Char Aznable)


A top AEUG pilot and former Zeon ace, Char acts as a mentor figure to Kamille and the younger MS operators in the crew.


 * Ace Pilot
 * Badass
 * Back-to-Back Badasses:Does this regularly with Kamille.
 * Badass Long Hair
 * Big Brother Mentor: To Kamille.
 * Bling Bling Bang: The golden MSN-00100 Hyaku-Shiki. It's an antibeam coating.
 * Char Clone: He is Char.
 * Cool Shades
 * Sunglasses In Space
 * Enemy Mine: His entire role in Zeta Gundam when you get down to it.
 * Ephebophile: If he and Haman did have a relationship, she would have been in her early teens and he would have been in his twenties. Yech.
 * Four Is Death (Quattro anyone?)
 * Which, as we all know, is the Persian numeral for four.
 * Fragile Speedster: The Hyaku-Shiki is fast, manouverable, and well-armed, and it's antibeam coating should make it immune to laser fire. Yet the show repeatedly demonstrates that it simply doesn't have the durability of other Super Prototypes, like the Zeta Gundam, The O, and the Qubeley, and it is frequently manhandled at close ranges. In retrospect, giving it a layer of paint as its primary defence probably wasn't a good idea...
 * : In the 2005 Compilation Movie at least,.
 * Hypocrite: Whether it's lecturing Amuro on getting over Lalah, getting mad at Haman for manipulating a member of the Zabi family, or being outraged by Axis-Zeon's treachery, Char spends most of the show calling people out on things he has no right to call them out on.
 * Informed Ability: Again, it's not that Char doesn't demonstrate his ability as a leader, pilot, etc over the course of the series. It's that the constant shillinig he recieves from the rest of the cast (including people like Hayato and Amuro who should not be doing so) makes him out to be even more of a Badass than he really is.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise
 * Somewhat justified in that there are only two (living) people in the entire universe who actually saw what Char looked like under the mask.
 * Even then, it's implied that most people in the AEUG know who he really is, but keep quiet since he isn't admitting it himself.
 * Shuichi Ikeda
 * Super Prototype: The Hyaku-Shiki (which, apparently, began life as the Delta Gundam, which was supposed to have its own Wave Rider mode prior to the Zeta - hence the verniers at its back. The concept was revisited in the Delta+).
 * Theme Naming: Quattro is the fourth name The Red Comet has used, after Casval Rem Daikun, Edward Mass and Char Aznable.
 * Unfortunate Names: His name is sometimes romanized as 'Quattro Bagina'. And considering the letter B in Japanese is sometimes romanized as a V... you get the idea. It is actually romanized as "Quattro Vagina" in the PS 1 Chars Counterattack game (proven here) as well as the SD Gundam G-Generation series.

Fa Yuiry

Kamille's best friend in his home colony, Fa joins up with the AEUG after they save the escape pod she was in. Determined to prove herself to Kamille and the rest of the AEUG she undergoes pilot training to try and stay useful.


 * Action Girl: At least enough to make it to the end of the series.
 * Action Survivor: The mecha anime equivalent. She doesn't score any brilliant kills, or take a level in badass, or anything like that, but she survives Zeta, which is a victory in and of itself.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: Alternates between this and Dogged Nice Girl with regards to Kamille.
 * Can't Catch Up: She tries very hard, but the Methuss... well, sucks when compared to other mechas.
 * Chinese Girl
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: A mild example. She's certainly very suspicious anytime Kamille talks to another girl.
 * Dogged Nice Girl: To Kamille. It's not that he doesn't notice her, it's just that there's a lot of other stuff going on in his life right now.
 * Expy: She's essentially a less bitchy Frau Bow--her relationship with Kamille even mimics the one that Frau had with Amuro, albeit with a different ending.
 * Love Martyr: To a degree.
 * Panty Shot: In one episode.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Satomi Arai: In The Movie.
 * She's Got Legs: The ED features her running alongside Haro, letting her show off a part of long and shapely legs.
 * Team Mom
 * Tsundere: Type B/deredere.
 * Victorious Childhood Friend: Eventually, after Kamille recovers from loving and losing Four, and the aftermath of what Scirocco did to him.

Emma Sheen

A former Titans pilot, Emma jumped ship to the AEUG after realising what sort of people she was working for. She is close to Kamille and Captain Bekkener, and serves as a substitute mother to Katz Kobayashi, whom she does her best to keep out of trouble.


 * Action Girl
 * Armor-Piercing Slap: Delivered to Kamille, more often than not.
 * Badass Normal: Not a Newtype. Still a more than capable pilot.
 * Cool Big Sis: To Kamille and Fa.
 * Defector From Decadence: Originally part of the Titans; switched sides after learning how much of a group of evil bastards the Titans were.
 * Designated Girl Fight:
 * Heel Face Turn: Very early on.
 * Hey It's That Voice: Maya Okamoto's debut role.
 * Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Henken towers over her.
 * Lady of War
 * Mid-Season Upgrade: Becomes the regular pilot of the Gundam Mark II following Kamille's promotion to the Zeta.
 * Official Couple: With Captain Bekkener.
 * Only Sane Man: Often. Out of all the cast members she's easily the one who grabs the Idiot Ball the least.
 * Parental Substitute: To Katz while they are at the front.
 * Team Mom
 * Team Mom

Henken Bekkener

The captain of the Argama and then the Radish, Henken Bekkener forms close friendships with Kamille Biden, Emma Sheen, and the rest of the AEUG pilots. Like Emma, he is often a voice of reason among the AEUG leadership.

 * Badass Moustache
 * The Captain
 * The Good Captain
 * Dogged Nice Guy : To Emma.
 * Genius Bruiser
 * Gentle Giant
 * Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Emma.

 * Only Sane Man: Shares this role with Emma.
 * Team Dad
 * Team Dad

Reccoa Londe


 * All Amazons Want Hercules: Her characterisation boils down to "I want a strong man, I want a strong man. There must be one around here somewhere."
 * Cool Big Sis: Gives this vibe at first.
 * Faux Action Girl: Is supposed to be a superb spy, but gets captured easily at least twice. She fares slightly better while piloting, but she still Can't Catch Up..
 * Glory Hound: Reccoa's obsessed with looking good and having the respect of those around her.
 * Masako Katsuki
 * Moral Myopia: Accuses Char of being a Selfish Evil creep who thinks the world revolves around him. She's not wrong, but given her own behaviour it's damned funny. And then there's her constantly expecting
 * Small Name, Big Ego: Reccoa's opinion of her piloting skill is truly inflated.
 * Street Urchin: She was one before joining the AEUG.
 * Team Mom
 * Woman Scorned: Her reason for hating Char as much as she does.
 * Masako Katsuki

Katz Kobayashi

One of the three war orphans adopted by the White Base in Mobile Suit Gundam, Katz eventually joins the AEUG in the hopes of following in the footsteps of his adopted father, and his hero, Amuro Ray.


 * Alliterative Name
 * Ascended Extra: Was one of the three orphans on the White Base in Mobile Suit Gundam. Here he's a major supporting character.
 * Beady Eyed Loser
 * Bratty Half Pint
 * Dating Catwoman: He and Sarah have a mutual attraction, though it's far stronger on his end.
 * Happily Adopted
 * Hero Worshipper: He used to be like this towards Amuro, but the latter's shellshock turn him into a Broken Pedestal. However, when Amuro decides to sortie out in the Rick Dias, Katz goes right back to idolizing him.
 * Hot Blooded: To ridiculously stupid degrees.
 * Keiichi Nanba
 * Love Makes You Dumb: His crush on Sarah seriously impairs his judgement. We get that you like her Katz, but dude, she works for Scirocco. Stop helping her and move on.
 * Psychic Powers: A weak Newtype.
 * Teens Are Short
 * Took a Level In Jerkass: The kids were irritating in the original show, but not to this level.
 * Took a Level In Jerkass: The kids were irritating in the original show, but not to this level.

Bright Noa

The captain of the White Base during the One Year War, Bright joins up with the AEUG out of disgust with the Titans. Due to his experiences with Amuro in MSG he has a pretty solid idea of what to expect from Kamille.


 * Bright Slap PAUWWWWNNCH
 * The Captain
 * Genre Savvy: It's only the second iteration of Gundam, but Bright already knows all the story conventions.
 * Hirotaka Suzuoki
 * Hot Dad
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Bright is still an uptight bastard most of the time. He's also got the safety of his crew as his top priority.
 * Older and Wiser
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Team Dad
 * Team Dad

Commander Blex Forer
 * Hotblooded Sideburns
 * Kouji Ishii: Movie
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * The Obi-Wan
 * Team Dad
 * Team Dad

Apolly Bay


 * Big Damn Heroes He does this surprisingly often for a minor character,
 * Deadpan Snarker: One of his few personality traits that does shine through. He's constantly snarking, whether about Kamille and Fa, the stupidity of the situation, or even Mineva Zabi's entrance.
 * Mauve Shirt: Leads the Rick Dom's, making him the heroic equivalent of an Elite Mook.
 * Mook Lieutenant: Heroic example, as leader of the Rick Doms.
 * Nice Guy
 * Ridiculously Average Guy
 * Tohru Ookawa: Movie.
 * Tohru Ookawa: Movie.

Shinta and Qum
 * Bratty Half Pint: Two of them! They're as annoying or worse than the trio from MSG.
 * Chika Sakamoto: Shinta
 * The Load: Are actively in the way much of the time. Whether it's annoying the engineers, running away, or trying to steal the Methuss they are constantly underfoot.
 * Small Annoying Creature: The opinion of everyone who has to put up with them. Only Fa seems immune.

Karaba
Hayato Kobayashi
 * Badass Baritone: Surprisingly enough.
 * Bright Slap: It makes Katz a little smarter for a short while.
 * The Captain
 * The Good Captain
 * Happily Married: From what we see.
 * The Lancer: Hayato's Karaba to Char's AEUG, in terms of operation leadership.
 * Older and Wiser: Age has seriously improved Hayato.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Team Dad
 * Took a Level In Badass

Amuro Ray

Pilot of the original Gundam during the One Year War, Amuro has gone into semi-retirement in order to deal with his post-traumatic stress disorder. He eventually returns to action, and forms a brief, but close partnership with Kamille.


 * Ace Pilot - He's Amuro Ray.
 * Badass
 * Broken Pedestal: Katz and to a lesser degree Kamille do not take their idol's shellshock well.
 * Demoted to Extra: Only shows up in a handful of episodes.
 * Enemy Mine
 * He's Back: First one: avoiding government agents and then ramming a mobile suit with a transport. His true one is when he pilots the Rick Dias and is able to adapt to the seven years advanced technology and hits Hi-Zacks through a thick fog.
 * Matthew Erickson: In the television series.
 * Older and Wiser
 * Psychic Powers
 * Retired Badass
 * Shell-Shocked Veteran
 * Stern Teacher: Slightly, towards Kamille and Katz. Though he actually he's easy on Kamille, compared to the others.
 * Still Got It
 * Tohru Furuya
 * Took a Level In Badass: Who needs a Gundam? Between his cargo plane hijackings or attempts to make a one-man action movie rescuing Mirai and her family, Amuro is frequently more interesting to watch without an MS.
 * Troubled but Cute

Beltorchika Irma


 * Celeb Crush: On Amuro
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Partially, since she's clingy yet has no real love rival.
 * Character Development: Later in the series, she has changed for the better and aknowledges how childish she used to be. Quite the growth for a Clingy Jealous Girl.
 * Green Eyes: Almost qualifies for Green-Eyed Monster.
 * Hair of Gold: Subverted; she's very blonde and isn't evil, but hardly innocent and especially not sweet.
 * Hero Worshipper: Of Amuro Ray.
 * Lady in Red: Nice red Qipao, Belto.
 * Maria Kawamura
 * No Accounting for Taste: Rare genderflipped version, since nobody really understands why Amuro puts up with her. The truth is that she's an excuse for him to not go back to the front.
 * Unlimited Wardrobe
 * Unlimited Wardrobe

Civilians
Kai Shiden

A veteran of the One Year War, Kai was one of the White Base's top pilots, alongside Amuro Ray and Sayla Mass. He returns in Zeta as a journalist/AEUG spy, operating in the rainforest.


 * Badass
 * Badass in A Nice Suit: Kai is looking Badass in that white suit.
 * Big Damn Heroes: His first appearance has him saving Reccoa from some soldiers who had captured her.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Not surprising. Made snarkier in the dub. He says pounding on his cell and calling for help makes him feel better.
 * Demoted to Extra
 * Face of a Thug: It's better than it was when he was a kid, but at the end of the day, Kai still looks as though his paycheck is coming from a Mafia Don.
 * Intrepid Reporter
 * Knight in Sour Armour
 * Man in White
 * Older and Wiser
 * Sharp Dressed Man
 * Toshio Furukawa
 * Took a Level In Badass: Holy cow Kai does a complete 180 in time for Zeta Gundam and the various sidestories going on at that point. Stylish, competent, able to engage in tactical espionage action in the RAINFOREST in a white business suit, all while juggling a career of journalism. To top it off, in sidestories he comes off as a freaking UC James Bond without his own mobile suit while he kicks copious amounts of ass.
 * Whip It Good: In his first appearance, where he uses a whip on one of the men who was threatening Reccoa.

Frau Kobayashi
 * Hot Mom
 * Love Triangle: Married to Hayato and six months pregnant with his child, but she is only ever seen/portrayed with Amuro, and openly confesses to wanting more time with him; Word of God has Amuro inwardly pissed at Moment Killer Katz.

Mirai Noa
 * Hot Mom: The Art Evolution doesn't make her a super beauty, but she still looks cuter than in the original series.
 * Happily Married: Despite Beltochika completely failing to understand this, and being physically separated from her spacebound spouse, Mirai shows a great deal of care for Bright, saying that she raises their two children taking his wishes and feelings into consideration as though he were there. In fact, Beltochika asks her how can that be possible, and Mirai calmly explains that she and her kids know well how hard Bright and Co. are fighting out there.
 * Yamato Nadeshiko: With heavy emphasis on the will of iron that goes along with "serenity, patience, grace, acceptance and being a good mommy" while her husband is away.
 * Silk Hiding Steel: The woman almost never loses her cool, whether it's towards Beltochika saying too much, or towards

Hathaway and Cheimin Noa


 * Children Are Innocent: Say what you will about Hathaway's behavior later, but here he is a genuinely innocent child and so is his sister.
 * Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs: Cheimin has a pink hairbow

Wong Lee
 * Arrogant Kung Fu Guy
 * Brutal Honesty: All the time. Needless to say, it gets right under the Argama crew's skin.
 * Jerkass: Though he had a pretty good reason to beat up Kamille he is pushy and and a jerk to a lot of people on the Argama.
 * Jerkass Has a Point: He's actually got the right idea (or, at least, a well-reasoned one that's worth considering) most of the time. It's pretty much the only reason nobody on the Argama ever tries to shove him out of an airlock.
 * Pet the Dog: Gave Shinta and Qum drinks and said children shouldn't be afraid to ask for things.
 * Screw the Rules, I Make Them: Shoves his weight around the Argama by saying that the AEUG's allies, Anaheim Electronics, would support him on his attack plans. Even if they were dumb.
 * Stern Teacher: Shades of this before getting Flanderized into a total jerk ass later in the series.

Stephanie Luio
 * Hot Chick in A Badass Suit: Watch out for the gleam in her eye.
 * Lady in Red: More exactly, she wears a red jacket.
 * The Ojou
 * Plucky Girl

Sayla Mass
 * The Cameo

Jamitov Hymem


The leader of the Titans, Admiral Jamitov Hymem has grander ambitions than simply running the Earth Federation's State Sec. He hopes to gain control of the whole Earth Sphere for himself, and is prepared to use any means necessary to get that power.


 * Ambiguously Jewish: Jamitov looks like he stepped out of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" or one of the other anti-Semitic tracts the Nazis liked to float around. This is somewhat unfortunate.
 * Ambition Is Evil
 * Beard of Evil: His goatee.
 * Big Bad:
 * Non-Action Big Bad
 * The Chessmaster
 * Commissar Cap
 * Evil Old Folks
 * Hey It's That Voice: Tomomichi "M. Bison" Nishimura, anyone?
 * Hidden Agenda Villain: We know for most of the series that the Titans aren't just about hunting Zeon, but it takes a little while for Jamitov's true motives to become apparent.
 * Insane Admiral: Literally. He suffers from obvious megalomania and is an Earth Federation admiral.
 * Large and In Charge
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Smug Snake: Jamitov's smart and a survivor, but he also thought a blood pact would be enough to control Scirocco.
 * State Sec: As the leader of the Titans.
 * Take Over the World
 * War for Fun And Profit: Uses the war against the AEUG to secure his own power.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist:
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist:

Bask Om

Jamitov's Number Two, Captain Bask Om serves as the Titans' field leader. A hulking brute with a pathological hatred of all colonials, Bask is responsible for the worst of the atrocities associated with the Titans' name.


 * Ambiguously Brown
 * Bad Boss: Do not question this man's orders.
 * Bald of Evil
 * Being Tortured Makes You Evil: More justified in this case than most--he hasn't joined the side that tortured him, after all.
 * The Captain: Addressed as Captain Bask by his subordinates.
 * The Good Captain: Not on your life.
 * Colonel Kilgore: He definitely has elements of this.
 * Commissar Cap
 * Daisuke Gouri
 * The Dragon: To Jamitov.
 * Dragon Their Feet: Was nowhere to be seen when
 * Interestingly, the movie trilogy corrects this oversight:
 * Electronic Eyes: Maybe. See Eye Scream and Goggles Do Nothing below.
 * Evil Cripple: If the theories about his being blind are true. See Eye Scream below for further details.
 * Eye Scream: According to some sources, those goggles are actually artificial eyes. He left his real ones behind in the Zeon POW camp where he spent most of the One Year War.
 * He still has eyes. In an early episode he briefly takes off his goggles while talking to Jamaican. Whether they function any is the big question.
 * First-Name Basis: Everyone calls him Bask, including his subordinates.
 * Freudian Excuse: He spent most of the One Year War in a POW camp, being tortured by Zeon. Given that this information is only available in side materials it's played as an explanation, not a genuine excuse.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: Possibly. No one's sure if Bask's eyes are functional, or if he needs the goggles to see.
 * Insane Admiral: Bask's brutality is so extreme that madness may well be the best explanation for it.
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Large and In Charge
 * Non-Action Guy: He'll slap his subordinates around, and he isn't afraid to lead from the front, but Bask is not a combatant.
 * Non Standard Character Design: Bask stands head and shoulders above the rest of the cast, and has a peculiarly elongated face that looks like it belongs on a far fatter man (Bask is big, but hardly overweight). And that's without mentioning the goggles that he almost never takes off, or his darker skintone.
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: His goggles fulfill this purpose.
 * Revenge: Side materials hint that the reason why he hates colonials so much is the fact that he was made into a POW and horrendously tortured by the Zeon in the One Year War.
 * Scary Black Man: Maybe.
 * Shell-Shocked Veteran: If the sidestories are to be believed Bask never really left that Zeon POW camp.
 * State Sec
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer: His solution to most problems? Punch them in the face. No, really!
 * Would Hit a Girl: In addition to hitting in the face (see When All You Have Is a Hammer above), Bask has no problem with strapping a woman inside of a capsule, ejecting said capsule into space, and then sending Jerid out to shoot it down.

Paptimus Scirocco "I'm merely a witness to history..."

An Earth Federation technical officer and fleet commander, Scirocco hails from Jupiter, where he and his fleet were sent to collect helium gas. He is eventually recruited by Admiral Jamtiov when the latter decides he needs reinforcements; unbeknownst to Jamitov, Scirocco has his own ambitions for the Earth Sphere, and is a very powerful Newtype to boot.


 * Ace Pilot
 * Ambiguous Disorder: Like Kamille, Scirocco is far more interested in machines than people, and has rather poor interpersonal skills (though his Mind Rape powers make up for that).
 * Ambition Is Evil
 * Armour Is Useless: Averted by his final mobile suit, The O, which is the only suit in-show to withstand multiple beam rifle bursts with no damage due to its incredibly thick plating.
 * Badass
 * Badass Bookworm: He's a technician and an Ace Pilot to rival Amuro and Char.
 * Bad Powers, Bad People: See Lack of Empathy below. He's pretty much the only Newtype in the Universal Century capable of using his powers to brainwash people.
 * Beware the Superman: The single most sinister Newtype in the UC verse, Scirocco's a shining example of why normal humans were so afraid of them.
 * Bigger Is Better: His ship, the Jupitris, is the largest in the Titans' fleet, and the suits he designs are all decidedly oversized as well. Freud would have a field day.
 * Justified Trope: The Jupitris is actually a transport vessel analogous to the supertankers of today and his mobile suits are all oversized to mount the numerous thrusters and verniers they need to operate in Jupiter's gravity well.
 * Blood Oath: He gives one to Jamitov when pledging his allegiance to the Titans.
 * Bin Shimada
 * Bishonen
 * The Casanova: A very dark take, using his good looks and charming facade to manipulate multiple women into doing his bidding. He's a gender-flipped Femme Fatale at points.
 * The Chessmaster
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Scirocco pretty much betrays everyone in order to achieve his goals. If you work for him, hire him, or care about him, watch out--he's just using you.
 * Consummate Liar
 * Curtains Match the Window: Sometimes his hair and eyes are purple. Sometimes they are grey. They always match.
 * Cyber Cyclops: Most of the suits he designs, including The O. He's got a very Zeonic preference for monoeyes.
 * Dark Messiah: Sets himself up as one, though what his goals are remain up in the air.
 * Deceptive Disciple: To Jamitov.
 * Despotism Justifies the Means: Despite his protestations to the contrary, it can easily be argued that he's not out for a higher cause and really just wants to rule the world, ideally through a female puppet.
 * Dual-Wielding: The O quadwields with its four arms.
 * Enemy Mine: He and Haman team up at the end to go after Char. They make for a lethal duo.
 * Enigmatic Minion: Starts out this way and works his way up.
 * Ephebophile: Hinted at with his thorough seduction of the fifteen-year-old Sarah Zabiarov, though he never shows any genuine sexual interest in her.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He does seem to have cared about Sarah, to the extent that a man like him ever cared about anything other than himself, as evidenced by his attack on Katz after.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He prefers to distance himself from the bloodthirsty actions of his superiors Jamitov and Bask, and at one point even sends Sarah out to to the AEUG to ruin one of their schemes. Granted, it was for self-serving purposes...
 * Evil Is Bigger: His mobile suits tend towards the large, with The O standing head and shoulders above every AEUG machine in production, and being at least twice as wide.
 * Evil Mentor: To Sarah Zabiarov, Reccoa Londe, Jerid Messa, and even Yazan Gable, of all people.
 * Expy: Is heavily based off of Amandara Kamandara aka Emperor Oldna Poseidal, the Big Bad of the pervious Tomino-directed series, Heavy Metal L-Gaim. He himself has several expies in the form of Tassilo Vargo and Ribbons Almark, and a Captain Ersatz in Kurow Kirishima.
 * Faux Affably Evil: Scirocco tries to come off as polite and reasonable, but as he himself admits, he's just not very good at it.
 * Foil: Given that they're both Newtype Ace Pilot mobile suit designers with Ambiguous Disorders, one can see Scirocco as an older, more jaded, cynical Kamille, with his intelligence amplified into true genius, but his empathy almost completely gone. Moreoever, while Kamille is frequently held up as the epitome of what a Newtype is supposed to be, Scirocco is the posterboy for the bad Newtype, who uses his Psychic Powers for personal gain and plans to lead the world into a darker future.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare: He was just a minor official from Jupiter, but managed to manipulate his way into becoming the supreme leader of the Titans.
 * Gray Eyes/Purple Eyes: Like his hair colour, Scirocco's eye colour shifts between these depending upon the lighting.
 * Heavyworlder: Scirocco is from Jupiter, and his final mobile suit, The O, is meant to operate in his homeworld's gravity. As such, when flown in outer space or Earth's orbit it transforms from a heavily-armoured Mighty Glacier to a Lightning Bruiser and becomes even more dangerous.
 * Hidden Agenda Villain: Decades after the original series ended, Scirocco's exact goals are still shrouded in mystery.
 * Hypocrite: He's always telling people not to make the mistake of underestimating his Newtype powers, but makes the same mistake himself when he faces off against Kamille at the end of the series.
 * Immune to Bullets: Not quite but very close: The O's thick armor allows it to tank beam fire from the Qubeley's funnels outright, something that no other suit is able to do.
 * Knight Templar
 * Lack of Empathy: Perhaps best demonstrated by the nature of his Psychic Powers. The defining trait of a Newtype is their ability to perform empathic connections with others, understanding them without misconceptions and drawing on their strength through bonds of friendship. Scirocco simply uses it to better manipulate people, and shows no sign of seeing those he connects with as anything more than useful tools.
 * Large and In Charge: The O is considerably larger than any regular issue suit of its era, or any Gundam that doesn't have "Psyco" attached to its name.
 * Light Is Not Good
 * Lightning Bruiser: His last mobile suit, the extremely dangerous PMX-003 The O. Justified in that his mobile suits were designed to operate in a Jovian (Jupiter's) gravity well, which is much stronger than the Earth's.
 * Man in White: Scirocco's white uniform, which seems to be unique among the Titans.
 * The Man Behind the Man
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Meaningful Name: 'Scirocco' is a powerful Mediterranean wind
 * Mid-Season Upgrade: The O, which he adopts during the last few episodes.
 * Mighty Glacier: The O is designed to be one of these in a Jovian gravity well. Turned loose on Earth it becomes a Lightning Bruiser.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Scirocco's bishie looks and magnificent bastardry make him rather popular with the female fanbase.
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous: The O has four arms, each of which carries a beam sabre.
 * Narcissist: Scirocco isn't totally callous when it comes to his pawns, but he's close enough, and has difficulty seeing them as anything more than his possessions. Even his Utopia Justifies the Means rhetoric has a certain "only I can save the world" edge to it.
 * Playing Both Sides: Plays the Titans, the Axis, and the AEUG against one another as he climbs to power. Only Haman Kahn really catches on.
 * Psychic Powers: One of the most powerful Newtypes to ever appear in-series, to the point where he's able to and is more or less broadcasting his presence to everyone in his general vicinity. His abilities include:
 * Astral Projection
 * Mind Manipulation
 * Mind Rape:
 * My Significance Sense Is Tingling
 * Psychic Link
 * Renaissance Man: Starship captain, battlefield strategist, psychological mastermind, a smooth-talker, mobile suit designer, and Federation ace. He's a busy man.
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: He and Yazan Gable form a very twisted variant. Scirocco's a cultured psychological predator, with Psychic Powers, grand ambitions, and superb manipulative skills. Yazan's an actual predator with a nearly feral nature, no powers and a direct way of handling problems. They get along very well.
 * Social Darwinist
 * Sore Loser: See Taking You With Me.
 * Space Fighter: The Messala's altmode.
 * The Starscream
 * The Stoic
 * Not So Stoic - The only time we really see his frigid exterior crack is when
 * Super Prototype: The PMX series, the set of unique and extraordinarily powerful mobile suits that he designed and built aboard the Jupitris. Of these, the PMX-003 The O is perhaps the one most iconically associated with him.
 * Take Over the World
 * Taking You With Me: A variation. As he's dying he lashes out with his Psychic Powers and manages to.
 * Transforming Mecha: His first mobile suit, the PMX-000 Messala, which transforms into a mobile armour.
 * Utopia Justifies the Means: Towards the end, he monologues that this is his true objective. Of course, we only have his word to back him up, and Scirocco isn't exactly the most trustworthy person in the Universal Century...
 * Visionary Villain: Supposedly. In case you hadn't noticed by now, Scirocco lies. A lot.
 * War for Fun And Profit: Scirocco didn't start the war with the AEUG, but he's more than willing to manipulate it for his own ends, with the ultimate goal of World Domination.
 * Xanatos Speed Chess: Seems to be playing this throughout the series.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: It's either purple or grey depending on the lighting.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:

Jamaican Daninghan

Jerid and Yazan's superior officer, Jamaican is a sycophantic Titans' commander who hangs onto every word Bask and Jamitov say. He and his men chase the Argama throughout the first half of the show.


 * Bad Boss: Drives Jerid and Mouar to (temporarily) ally with Scirocco.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Dirty Coward: He was happy to hide behind Yazan and let him soak up enemy fire. In the end, this really didn't work out for him.
 * Keaton Yamada
 * Lack of Empathy: Jamaican isn't a psychopath like Yazan or Bask but he cares about nothing other than his own career.
 * Non-Action Guy
 * Porn Stache: Jamaican wears his moustache Adolf Hitler style.
 * The Rival: Views Scirocco as as his rival within the Titans. Scirocco feels differently.
 * Smug Snake
 * Starter Villain: His entire purpose is to chase Kamille and the Argama for the first part of the show, and then
 * State Sec
 * We Have Reserves
 * State Sec
 * We Have Reserves

Jerid Messa ""I'll make that pompous fool kneel before me someday.""



Kamille's rival, Jerid possesses the personality of a school bully, and the attitude to match. He seeks to one day run the Titans' himself, and to that end, aims to destroy Kamille and the stolen Gundams as a means of improving his reputation.


 * Ace Pilot: Reaches this status around the same time Kamille does.
 * Ambition Is Evil
 * Anti-Villain: He accidentally kills Kamille's mom (believing that the capsule she was in contained a bomb) and is very nasty when he fights, but when he does grow fond of someone else, he genuinely cares for said person and heavily grieves if he loses him/her.
 * Badass Normal: For most the show, Jerid demonsrates no Newtype powers. He's still one of the few people who can give Kamille a run for his money.
 * Badass Abnormal: In the last few episodes, Jerid begins to unlock his Newtype potential.
 * Handicapped Badass: Jerid spends a couple of episodes on crutches. He still tracks Kamille and Four across the mountains to deal with them.
 * Battle Couple: With Mouar.
 * Blue Eyes
 * The Bully
 * Can't Catch Up: He can never quite reach Kamille's level of skill, though that doesn't stop him from being extremely dangerous, especially when in Unstoppable Rage mode.
 * Cartwright Curse:.
 * Char Clone: In a story where Quattro Bajeena/the original Char Aznable exists, it is almost impossible to notice... but his rivalry with Kamille, his experience of learning about battle and being a person from women recalls a lot of the tensions Amuro and Char had during the One Year War.
 * Cry for The Devil: An absolute asshole, yeah, but the few times he gets to Pet the Dog... ouch.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He isn't a fan of gassing colonies but then again he just follows orders on it and doesn't protest.
 * Foil: To Kamille. They're both young, arrogant, ace pilots with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Jerid's Jerk Jock persona makes for a marked contrast with Kamille's Insufferable Genius, while his desire for promotions and personal glory, and weak Newtype status, set him apart from the genuinely committed, frighteningly powerful Kamille.
 * Glory Hound: He seeks to one day lead the Titans.
 * Hot Blooded
 * It's Personal: With Kamille.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk Jock
 * Just Following Orders
 * Kazuhiko Inoue
 * Know When to Fold Em: Surprisingly yes. Jerid starts out as a Hot Blooded idiot, but by the series' midpoint his ability to tell when a battle has been lost is what makes him officer material.
 * Love At First Punch: He had a crush on Dark Action Girl Lyla, who beat him up at least twice during practice.
 * Necessarily Evil: How he views the worst of the Titans' actions.
 * Not So Harmless: Repeatedly.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: He and Mouar are a romantic variation. He's the red to her blue.
 * The Rival: To Kamille.
 * State Sec
 * Super Prototype: Becomes a test pilot for numerous new models, including the Gabthley, Byarlant, and Baund Doc.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Jerid evolves from a worthless Villain of the Week to an Ace Pilot in a Super Prototype mobile suit, whose threat level is near Big Bads Haman and Scirocco. Even Haman herself was shocked durring his Unstoppable Rage
 * Transforming Mecha: The Gabthley.
 * Unholy Matrimony: With Mouar.
 * Unstoppable Rage: You do not want to fight Jerid after killing one of his allies. You really don't.
 * Weak but Skilled: He's not the Titans' top pilot, but he tends to give a remarkably good accounting of himself despite weak/nonexistent Newtype powers and a long line of inferior suits.

Yazan Gable ""I'm gonna violate you!""



A Titans officer with a love of bloodshed, Yazan is the most powerful Oldtype pilot introduced in the show. Raised by a mother who disdained all trappings of culture, Yazan is an almost feral predator, who lives only to prove his superiority.


 * Ace Pilot: One of the Titans' best MS pilots.
 * Anime Hair: Part-bouffant, part-Mohawk, part-mullet, part balding...it's quite the look, ain't it?
 * Axe Crazy: Downplayed. Yazan is dangerously insane, but his evil, rather than his madness, recieves the most emphasis, and his general characterization is that of a brutal uncaring thug rather than a cackling madman.
 * Badass Normal: Yazan is neither a Newtype nor the pilot of a Super Prototype. He still kills more AEUG members than any other Titan, at a point in the show when those without special abilities or suits were generally being relegated to the backburner. Kamille lampshades this during their first battle, noting "He's got lots of experience, but I don't feel any psychic pressure. He's just strong."
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Blood Knight: Yazan's always spoiling for a fight; he enjoys both the adrenaline rush of combat and the chance to kill AEUG members.
 * Book Dumb: An uneducated brute, but far from stupid. Most of his victories in fact, come from outsmarting the opposing pilots.
 * The Brute: Yazan is the Titans' and then Scirocco's attack dog. He's invaluable due to his cunning, viciousness, and skill as a pilot, but is never promoted past Lieutenant because he's simply not the kind of guy you give any real authority to.
 * Combat Pragmatist: Yazan's an ambush predator by nature. He utilises the terrain, decoys, team attacks, and anything else that will give him an advantage. The man may be a Blood Knight, but there's no Honour Before Reason.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted--he refused to partake in a gassing operation but this is because he prefers to kill one-on-one.
 * Evil Is Not Pacifist: Yazan is a serious war-junkie, joining the Titans so he would have an excuse to act on his violent impulses. Without war he'd be in serious trouble.
 * Extra Eyes: The RX-139 Hambrabi features five Zeonic monoeyes, allowing it to see in all directions.
 * Flawed Prototype: The Gaplant was rushed into production and has a blind spot. This does not stop Yazan from being very dangerous with it.
 * He-Man Woman Hater: Yazan has no respect for females who think they can fight.
 * Hero Killer: Kills, arranges for the death of , and damn near kills Kamille himself on several separate occasions.
 * Hochu Otsuka
 * Kick the Son of A Bitch:
 * Lack of Empathy
 * Make It Look Like an Accident: Gets Emma Sheen to fire at him, than dodges so that the blast will hit, whom he hated.
 * Momma's Boy: His mother, with her disdain for education and intellectualism, definitely left her mark on her thuggish son, who has nothing positive to say about his father.
 * Politically-Incorrect Villain: His misogyny is just the tip of the iceberg.
 * Psycho for Hire: The first one to appear in the franchise, and the prototype for all the ones that follow. If you're a fan of Ali Al-Saachez or Decil Galette, thank this guy.
 * Put the Laughter In Slaughter
 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Manly Man to Scirocco's Sensitive Guy.
 * Shoulder Cannon: The Hambrabi has two.
 * Slasher Smile: Just look at that grin!
 * The Sociopath
 * Sociopathic Soldier: Type II. He joined the army so that he would have the chance to kill people without going to prison.
 * State Sec
 * Terrible Trio: He forms one with wingmates Dunkel Cooper and Ramsus Hasa.
 * Transforming Mecha: Pilots a Gaplant and then the Hambrabi.
 * Unfriendly Fire: Is nearly shot down by the Alexandria's guns when Jamaican opens fire on Kamille during a battle between the two of them.
 * Villainous Friendship: Played with. Yazan is clearly incapable of empathy. Yet it's just as obvious that he at least enjoys the company of both Scirocco and like minded psychopaths Dunkel Cooper and Ramsus Hasa.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: Whenver he's out of uniform.
 * Would Hit a Girl/Would Hurt a Child: In Yazan's own words, the AEUG are made up of "women and children". He still thoroughly enjoys killing their members.
 * Would Hit a Girl/Would Hurt a Child: In Yazan's own words, the AEUG are made up of "women and children". He still thoroughly enjoys killing their members.

Mouar Pharaoh

A Titans officer who rescues Jerid during his time on Earth, Mouar becomes Jerid's closest friend and constant companion upon his return to space, eventually revealing that she has a crush on him.


 * Anti-Villain
 * Battle Couple: With Jerid. The two of them make a surprisingly effective combo, frequently tagteaming opponents in their Gabthley's.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Is as displeased as Jerid is by the Titans' use of WMDs.
 * Just Following Orders
 * Only Sane Woman: In addition to being calm, reasonable, and far more moral than her teammates, she's the only woman in Zeta (other than Haman Khan) to resist Scirocco (and in fact calls him on his egoism).
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Jerid's red.
 * State Sec
 * Transforming Mecha: Has flown a few.
 * Unholy Matrimony: With Jerid.
 * Womanin Black
 * Yoshiko Sakakibara
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Green.
 * Womanin Black
 * Yoshiko Sakakibara
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Green.

Four Murasame

One of the Cyber-Newtypes produced in the Titans' labs, Four Murasame is the original pilot of the Psyco Gundam. Bereft of her memories by the Titans' experiments, Four is willing to do anything to get them back. She and Kamille share a brief romance when they meet off-duty.


 * Adult Child: Not to as severe an extent as poor Rosamia, but she's still got some serious arrested development going on. The regular mind-wipes don't help in the slightest.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: As an Cyber Newtype.
 * Cute and Psycho: Though she's not exactly to blame; it's a side-effect of having her psyche torn down and then rebuilt from the ground up with drugs and psycho-indoctrination on repeated occasions.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Evil Is Bigger: The Psyco Gundam
 * Four Is Death:
 * Heel Face Door Slam:
 * It's All About Me: She's perfectly willing to commit mass murder in the Psyco Gundam, burn down Hong Kong, and attempt to kill Kamille--the first person to treat her like a human being--as long as it gets her memories back for her. A lot of that can probably be attributed to psychological problems from being transformed into a Cyber-Newtype and using her powers, as she acts more reasonably in other circumstances.
 * It's All Junk: Once she discovers Kamille's true identity.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: She's apparently a war orphan picked up by the Titans and trained as a Tykebomb. The treatment removed her prior memories, and one of her goals is to get them back.
 * Love At First Sight: With Kamille.
 * Mysterious Past: She isn't too happy about having one, and one of the biggest holds the Murasame Institute has over her is their promise to give her memories back.
 * In one of the MSV collections it's implied that she might actually be Miharu's little sister Milly from the original series.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The Psyco Gundam. Four herself could count if you're familiar with Japanese beliefs about certain numbers.
 * Noblewoman's Laugh: Frequently employs it.
 * Psychic Powers: Courtesy of being a Cyber Newtype.
 * Saeko Shimazu: Her original seiyuu.
 * Yukana: Her seiyuu in the movies. It didn't go well for her, though.
 * Sanity Slippage
 * State Sec: The Newtype lab is allied with the Titans.
 * Star-Crossed Lovers: With Kamille.
 * Super Soldier: She's an experiment in "remodelling" a human's brain to artificially induce Newtype abilities.
 * Teens Are Monsters: Her entire persona is that of a particularly psychotic teenager in the midst of a rebellion.
 * Took a Level In Badass: Between appearances.
 * Tyke Bomb: An artificially created or "Cyber" Newtype, which has left her mentally unstable and in possession of Psychic Powers.
 * Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Psyco Gundam
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: It's implied that psychotic instability is an inherent fault in the Cyber Newtype program. The stronger they are made to be, the more insane they end up.
 * You Are Number Six: Number 4 actually.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Green.

Rosamia Badam

The first, and arguably craziest, Cyber-Newtype introduced, Rosamia is a psychological mess. Encountering Kamille during her time off, she latches onto him as a substitute for her deceased brother.


 * Axe Crazy
 * Adult Child: Rosammy, as a result of being...
 * Brainwashed and Crazy
 * Badass: During her first two apperances she engages Kamille and Char at the same time with no backup and accquits herself very well. That alone qualifies her. She also shoots down Hizacks in a Nemmo while still believing herself to be "Rosammy" (who has no piloting training) and gives Kamille the scare of his life when she goes after him with the Psyco Gundam Mark II.
 * The Baroness: She comes off this way at first, but is actually an Axe Crazy Cute and Psycho Tyke Bomb.
 * Cute and Psycho: As in the case of Four, it ain't her fault.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Drugs Are Bad
 * Establishing Character Moment: She's first seen as ruthless and cold, then has a huge Villainous BSOD and screams that the sky will fall on her...
 * Evil Is Bigger: The Psyco Gundam II
 * Lady in Red
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia
 * Innocent Fanservice Girl
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The Psyco Gundam II.
 * Psychic Powers: Another Cyber Newtype. She's powerful enough--and insane enough--to spook the Hell out of Kamille in their first encounter; he describes it as though his mind were being drawn into a great darkness. To put that in perspective, he says something very similar about Scirocco.
 * Psychic Link: With Gates Capa.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: She believes that the AEUG plan to make the sky fall. She's an adult woman with the fears of a little girl.
 * On the other hand, she's explicitly stated as having lived through Zeon's Colony Drop at the start of the One Year War. Being traumatized and having a phobia of similar experiences is kind of understandable.
 * Replacement Goldfish: Up to Eleven--if a character is of the right age, and is a powerful enough Newtype, she'll mistake them for her older brother. She does it to Kamille and has it used against her by Gates. One could argue that Kamille himself sees her as one for Four.
 * Sanity Slippage: Crazier in every appearance.
 * Split Personality: Rosamia Badam is a hardcore soldier. Rosammy is a scared five year old, looking for her brother.
 * State Sec
 * Super Soldier
 * Teens Are Monsters: She's 17.
 * Transforming Mecha: The Gaplant.
 * Tyke Bomb: Another Cyber Newtype, and even crazier than Four.
 * Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Psyco Gundam II.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: "The sky! It's falling! NOOOOOOOO!"
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair
 * Yuu Asakawa: Her seiyuu in the movies.

Sarah Zabiarov

A young Titans' officer, Sarah is nursing a tremendous crush on Paptimus Scirocco, which she is naive and/or brainwashed enough to think he returns.


 * Boring but Practical: Sarah's final mobile suit, the PMX-002 Bolinoak Samaan
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Dating Catwoman: She and Katz share a mutual attraction.
 * Hair Decorations: Keeps her short ponytail in place with two cute green hair clips.
 * Evil Redhead: Yandere redhead anyway.
 * Green Eyes
 * Love Makes You Dumb
 * Love Makes You Evil
 * Love Martyr: For Scirocco. She's not exactly evil, but completely devoted to him.
 * Hey It's That Voice: Yuko Mizutani's debut.
 * Perky Female Minion
 * Precocious Crush: On Scirocco. It's a very dark take on the trope, and ultimately gets her.
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * State Sec
 * Super Prototype: After an initial appearance in the mook suit Marasai Scirocco assigns her his Messala and later upgrades her to the Bolinoak Samaan.
 * Undying Loyalty: To Scirocco.
 * Unwitting Pawn: Sarah doesn't realise at all the extent of Scirocco's evil, or how far he's willing to go--or just how much he's manipulating her for that mattter.
 * Wolverine Claws: The Bolinoak Samaan has one on its left arm.
 * Womanin Black
 * Yandere

Kacricon Cacooler


 * Big Brother Mentor: Slightly, to Jerid. Yeah, a villainous example.

 * The Captain
 * The Good Captain: He's a bad person, but he sincerely seems to care about his men and the mission.
 * Elite Mook

 * Just Following Orders: Fully believes that a soldier's task is to follow any and all orders he receives, regardless of their morality.
 * Manipulative Bastard: Perfectly willing to hold Four's desire for her memory over her head.
 * Mauve Shirt
 * Smug Snake: He's arrogant, overconfident, and more than willing to use Four's desire to get her memories back against her.
 * State Sec
 * Villainous Valour: When Four goes AWOL, Wooder pilots the Psyco Gundam into combat himself, despite not being a Newtype and having no real idea of how to use it. At the end, with all his mobile suits shot down, and Four and the Psyco out of commission, he orders everyone off the ship, and crashes it into the Audhumla to stop it from escaping. The members of his crew who stay behind with him display similar valour.

Gates Capa

The last of the Cyber-Newtypes, Gates is seemingly cheerful young man who isn't above using his manipulative skills to get what he wants. He works closely with Bask Om and the Titans' researchers, and is Rosamia Badam's partner in the last stages of the war.


 * Affably Evil: Cheerful, open, and utterly dedicated to the Titans' cause. He'd be a great kid to be friends with if he weren't helping the government experiment on young girls.
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Big Brother Mentor: Subverted, as  is brainwashed into seeing him as one.
 * Boring but Practical: He doesn't have nearly the power of Rosamia or Four, but he's also much less likely to descend into the mental breakdowns both ladies are famous for.
 * Drugs Are Bad
 * Enigmatic Minion
 * Flawed Prototype: His Baund Doc is the prototype that Rosamia and Jerid's models are based off of: it's notable for being the only one with a two-seater cockpit and the only one that's never seen to transform into mobile suit mode.
 * Kazuki Yao
 * Manipulative Bastard: Has no problems using Rosamia's need for a brother to help keep her under control.
 * Only Sane Man: In comparison to the rest of the Cyber-Newtypes.
 * Psychic Powers: He's a Cyber-Newtype.
 * Psychic Link: With Rosamia
 * Punch Clock Villain
 * State Sec

 * Super Soldier
 * Those Two Guys: He's usually stuck with handler Loren Nakamoto.

 * What Could Have Been: Originally, Gates was And then he was going to.
 * What Happened to The Mouse?
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The one aversion.
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The one aversion.

Gady Kinsey


 * Enemy Mine: Initially dislikes Scirocco but eventually has his ship join up with the former's fleet.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: In Episode 42 he claims his ship has engine problems and can't help with the gassing of a colony.
 * Laser-Guided Karma: He lets Haman disable the Colony Laser then the AEUG takes it back from Haman and proceed to fire it, killing Gady and destroying his ship.
 * Nice Hat
 * Smug Snake: Though higher functioning than Jamaican.

Other Earth Federation Personnel
Lila Milla Rira


 * Ace Custom: Her red mobile suit.

 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Shower Scene: In the series.

Haman Khan


The leader of the Axis Zeon, Haman Khan is a former 'friend' of Char Aznable, and regent to Mineva Lao Zabi. She plays both sides of the conflict against one another, before eventually siding with the Titans. She is The Big Bad of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (see ZZ's character sheet for more on that)


 * Ace Pilot
 * Attack Drones: Better known as 'funnels', they're the main weapon of her personal mobile suit, the Qubeley.
 * Badass: One of the most badass people in the UC verse.
 * The Baroness
 * Big Bad Duumvirate: She and Scirocco are shaping up to be one by the end.
 * The Chessmaster: She's good enough to give Char, Jamitov, and even Scirocco cause for concern.
 * Corruption of a Minor: Her control of Mineva hasn't had a good effect on the girl.
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Dual-Wielding: The Qubeley's lack of a shield and incorporation of a detached ranged weapons system allows her do this a lot.
 * Duel to The Death: Proposes one to Char, but he takes a third option.
 * Evil Chancellor: To Mineva. As is typical for the trope, she's the real power behind the throne.
 * Evil Redhead
 * Hope Spot:
 * If I Can't Have You: Towards Char.
 * Improbable Age: She's only twenty years old, according to Char, which is pretty young to be leading Axis. But it becomes very clear that she's more than qualified for her position.
 * It's Personal: Her and Char. She also develops a major grudge towards Kamille by the end.
 * Karma Houdini: As of the end of Zeta.
 * Lady of War
 * The Man Behind the Man: Uses Mineva Zabi as a Puppet King and figurehead while she runs the show. No one's really fooled, but that doesn't matter to Haman.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Murder Is the Best Solution: Her attitude towards Jamitov. In two out of three meetings she tries to kill him - the third time,
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: If you accept that her last name should be translated as Khan.
 * Playing Both Sides: Haman is actively courted by both the AEUG and the Titans. She could care less about either of them, but actively plays them both to her own advantage.
 * Psychic Powers: She's a Newtype, like most of the other major players in Zeta. Her abilities include:
 * Astral Projection
 * My Significance Sense Is Tingling
 * Psychic Link
 * Technopath: Only in her Qubeley, and only with the aid of the Qubeley's psycommu system.
 * Psycho Ex Girlfriend: Played deadly seriously. Here's a hint Char--if you really did seduce a teenage girl while you were in your twenties, than you have this coming.
 * Regent for Life: Whether or not Haman intends to give up her position as regent or not isn't explored (as Mineva is only seven) but she certainly gives off this vibe.
 * Spell My Name With an "S": Karn, Kahn, Khan?
 * Super Prototype: Her Qubeley.
 * Tsundere: Towards Char, bordering on Yandere.
 * Unusual Weapon Mounting: The Qubeley stores its funnels in a protruding abdomen, giving the mobile suit a decidedly insectoid appearance.
 * Used to Be A Sweet Kid: If the sidematerials are to be believed.
 * Villainous Crush: On Char, who may or may not be her ex.
 * Wild Card: Which side Axis Zeon will join is a major plot point.
 * Womanin Black: Though curiously, her signature MS is white.
 * Woman Scorned: To Char, and how.
 * Yandere: She really can't decide if she's still in love with Char, wants to kill him, or both.
 * Yoshiko Sakakibara
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Purple actually.

Mineva Zabi

Dozle Zabi's daughter, Mineva is the last living member of the Zabi family. While she appears to be the ruler of Zeon, it quickly becomes apparent that the seven year old girl is totally under the domination of her regent and Evil Chancellor, Haman Khan.


 * Antiquated Linguistics: Bordering on Spock Speak at times.
 * A Child Shall Lead Them: Subverted, she's just a figurehead.
 * Enfante Terrible: Played with. Mineva's a child, and she's the dictatorial head of The Remnant of The Empire. Yet she's also a scared little girl who's totally dependent on Haman Khan.
 * Everything's Better With Princesses: No it isn't.
 * Evil Redhead: Barely. She's totally under Haman's thumb.
 * Last Of Her Kind: She's the last Zabi.
 * Miki Ito
 * Puppet King: For Haman Khan.
 * Wicked Cultured: Plays the violin during the battle for the Gate of Zedan.
