Patrick Colasour
The Ace of AEU, who's prevailed in 2000 simulation battles!

... Well, okay. To make it short, this guy is the resident loser of the series, whose barks are bigger than his bite. He first appears in an exhibition of the Enact and got owned by Setsuna. Later on, he reappears to fight the Gundam again... and got blasted by Tieria without him even trying. He is known as a playboy, but when he meets his new commander Kati Mannequin (and got punched in the face for being late), he instantly fell in love for real and found a new goal in life: to win her heart. He almost defeats Tieria in the desert battle, but got beaten due to the interference of the Trinities.

Fortune does smile at him, when the Veda temporarily goes offline; he uses the chance to attack Tieria, but was covered by Lockon. Regardless, that particular attack marks Patrick's only success as he damages a Gundam, and even robs Lockon off his right eye. After much more fighting, he is blasted to smithereens, but was lucky enough to survive. Apparently, this stuck with him: being known as the man who survived a total of 7 encounters with Gundams earned him the nickname The Immortal Colasour.

Despite his record of defeats he is not actually a bad pilot. During the desert battle he evades an Tieria's attack from near point black range and during the space battle using a GN-X he does a good job evading hits from Lockon.

 * Anti-Villain
 * Appropriated Appellation
 * Badass Boast: Until recently, just... the boast.
 * Boisterous Bruiser: Especially when he's trying to impress Kati.
 * Butt Monkey: From episode 1, whenever he takes the field against a Gundam you know what's about to happen.
 * Casanova: He got a bit better thanks to Kati.
 * Casanova Wannabe: Towards Kati.
 * Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: Averted. He might be an idiot but he doesn't know the meaning of the word surrender.
 * Cool Loser
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Though this takes awhile to show.
 * Determinator
 * Dogged Nice Guy: To Kati.
 * Evil Redheads: Kinda subverted, since he works for the bad guys but isn't a bad person per se.
 * Expy: Your Mileage May Vary, but there are a lot of fandom comparisons between him and Jeremiah Gottwald.
 * Banpresto caught on to this and made the two of them Vitriolic Best Buds in Super Robot Wars Z 2. Where Jeremiah is, Patrick is usually not too far behind. They insult each other every chance they get.
 * Fan Nickname: Team Patrick.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * French Jerk
 * Goldfish Poop Gang
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
 * Keet
 * Large Ham
 * Leeroy Jenkins
 * Lethal Joke Character
 * Likes Older Women: Kati is about 4-5 years older than him.
 * Love At First Punch: Literally!
 * Miles Gloriosus
 * My Master, Right or Wrong: Towards Kati.
 * No One Could Survive That: Subverted in that the writers pulled this with the audience.
 * Not So Harmless Villain
 * Overshadowed by Awesome: He's not the AEU's best pilot for nothing. He's just... well, just not on the same level as Graham or Ali.
 * Plot Armour: The Gods of plot armour smile upon him like none other.
 * Put on a Bus: After the 4 months Time Skip, he and Kati was nowhere to be seen. Then he got out... and kicks mucho ass, Orange-kun taught him well.
 * Red Baron: The Immortal Colasour. Subverted that it doesn't note his badassery, it's a mocking insult on his survival rate against Gundams.
 * Refuge in Audacity:
 * Running Gag: His ability to survive anything without a scratch.
 * If there was a nuclear apocalypse, the only things that would survive are cockroaches, Patrick, and Yazan Gable.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: First episode he boasted of his accomplishments while the suit he was piloting was being torn limb from limb, and that was just the first episode.
 * Straw Loser
 * Subordinate Excuse
 * Throw the Dog a Bone:
 * Undying Loyalty: Undying you say?
 * Unknown Rival: To Tieria in the first season.
