Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
 
== AEUG (Anti-Earth Union Group) ==
=== Kamille Bidan ===
[[File:Kamille Bidan 5007.jpg|frame]]
==== 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.
----
Line 9 ⟶ 14:
* [[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, [[The Scrappy|it's]] [[Too Dumb to Live|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.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]/[[Stern Teacher]]: To Katz. Unfortunately, [[The Scrappy|it's]] [[Too Dumb to Live|Katz]].
* [[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 below 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.
{{quote|"''Kamille's a Man's name! '''AND I'M A MAN!'''''"}}
* [[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.
* [[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.
* [[Hurting Hero]]: He loses just about everything over the course of the series.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Mild example. Kamille is without a doubt a superb [[Ace Pilot]], but not noticeably more so than [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|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.

* [[It's Personal]]: With Jerid
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Kamille can be a huge asshole, but he is very compassionate.
* [[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]]: Both mom and dad worked for the Titans. This is probably responsible for about 95% of his problems.
* [[Mood Swinger]]: Kamille's moods are unstable at best. He can swing from happy to sad to enraged in the space of a few seconds.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|During the course of the war with the Titans, Kamille witnessed the death of both his parents, first love and friends.}}.
* [[Psychic Powers]] Of course. He's a Newtype, but doesn't accept it until late in the series.
** A VERY''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, {{spoiler|such as making the Zeta totally invunerable with a forcefield generated by the biosensor and his Newtype power, extending the Beam Saber into an energy whip that had to be at least- 2 miles long, and then freezes The O in place so he can crash the Waverider straight through the cockpit.}}. Take a minute to remember this is [[Real Robot Genre|a ''Gundam'' series.]].
** It gets even crazier in ''Gundam ZZ'', ''Zeta Gundam'''s sequel. When Kamille {{spoiler|finally recovers from Scirocco's psychic attack, he displays incredible control over his Newtype powers, including telekinetically reassembling the Double Zeta from thousands of miles away.}}.
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: {{spoiler|At the end of ''Zeta Gundam'', he channels the power of the dead and impales Scirocco on Zeta's waverider mode nose}}.
* [[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—inhim... 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]]: [[Self-Demonstrating Article|It's blue.]].
 
=== Quattro Bajeena (Char Aznable) ===
[[File:Quattro B 2368.jpg|frame]]
 
A top AEUG pilot and former Zeon ace, Char acts as a mentor figure to Kamille and the younger MSMobile Suit operators in the crew.
----
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Char is a notably brilliant tactician and thanks to a combination of intellect and skill, is able to outmaneuver and kill the vast majority of mobile suit users and goes toe-to-toe with some of the best pilots in the series, such as Amuro Ray and Haman Khan.
Line 54 ⟶ 59:
* [[Char Clone]]: He ''is'' Char.
* [[Cool Shades]]: Part of his disguise as Quattro. ...Pretty much his ''entire'' disguise as Quattro, actually.
* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: In space, as opposed to at night, though he removes them when he needs to wear a normal/pilot suit helmet.
* [[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]]: ([[Captain Obvious|Quattro anyone?]])?
** {{spoiler|Subverted. Quattro is alive and kicking after the end. heHe only dies in the movie after he goes back to Char.}}.
*** Which, as we all know, is the Persian numeral for four.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Hyaku-Shiki is fast, manouverable,maneuverable and well-armed, and it'sits 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 Prototype]]s, 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...
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: In the 2005 [[Compilation Movie]] at least, {{spoiler|Char was last seen attempting a [[Taking You with Me|mutual kill]] against Haman in the final stages of the Gryps Conflict. He fails}}.
* [[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]]: Quattro's shades, in general. The fact that his AEUG uniform is also carrying the same color scheme as his Zeon outfit emphasizes it further.
** Somewhat [[Justified Trope|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.
** Bright Noa accidentally cuts through his disguise almost immediately, as he refers to him as Captain Quattro on instinct (Captain was Char's rank in the Zeon military). Char corrects him by saying his rank is Lieutenant.
* [[Shuichi Ikeda]]
* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: In space, as opposed to at night, though he removes them when he needs to wear a normal/pilot suit helmet.
* [[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 [[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn|Delta+]]).
* [[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 [[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn|Delta+]]).
* [[Theme Naming]]: Quattro is the fourth name [[Red Baron|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 ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3fLdd-nQdU proven here]) as well as the ''SD Gundam G-Generation'' series.
 
'''===Fa Yuiry'''===
[[File:Fa Yuiry 1292.jpg|frame]]
 
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 [[Took a Level in Badass|take a level in badass]], or anything like that, but she survives ''Zeta Gundam'', 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.
Line 84 ⟶ 90:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: A mild example. She's certainly very suspicious anytime Kamille talks to another girl.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy|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—herBow: 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.
Line 94 ⟶ 100:
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Eventually, after Kamille recovers from loving and losing Four, and the aftermath of what Scirocco did to him.
 
'''===Emma Sheen'''===
[[File:Emma Sheen 1527.jpg|frame]]
 
Line 104 ⟶ 110:
* [[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]]: {{spoiler|With Reccoa.}}.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Very early on.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Maya Okamoto]]'s ''debut'' role.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Henken towers over her.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: By Yazan Gable, following her battle with Reccoa.}}.
* [[Lady of War]]: She remains graceful while fighting.
* [[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]]
* {{spoiler|[[Vasquez Always Dies]]: The most competent female pilot in the show (barring [[Dark Action Girl|Haman Khan]]). Ends up very dead.}}.
 
'''===Henken Bekkener'''===
[[File:95473 7036.jpg|frame]]
 
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 Beard]]: Combined with [[Badass Moustache]].
* [[The Captain]]
* [[The Good Captain]]: Whether he is as competent as Bright is debatable, but he definetly has the same determination to win the war and protect his men.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]] : To Emma.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Gentle Giant]]
* [[The Good Captain]]: Whether he is as competent as Bright is debatable, but he definetly has the same determination to win the war and protect his men.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With Emma.
* [[Jurota Kosugi]]: ''Debut'' role.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: By Yazan Gable.}}.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: One of the tallest characters in ''Zeta Gundam'', and also [[The Captain]].
* [[Official Couple]]: He and Emma have come to an understanding by the end of the series.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Shares this role with Emma.
* {{spoiler|[[Senseless Sacrifice]]: Gets himself and his ship blown up to save Emma. She dies soon afterwards.}}.
* [[Team Dad]]
 
'''===Reccoa Londe'''===
[[File:Reccoa Londe 3042.jpg|frame]]
 
* [[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."
* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: 'The episode "The Call Ofof Darkness'" implies this to be [[More Than Mind Control|part of]] the reason for her [[Face Heel Turn]].}}.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Gives this vibe at first.
* {{spoiler|[[Even Evil Has Standards]]: She was VERY happy to get rid of [[Complete Monster]] Bask}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]}}: {{spoiler|To Emma Sheen}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Redhead]]: After joining Scirocco}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: She eventually joins Scirocco}}.
* [[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]]. {{spoiler|Ironically, she does get somewhat better... [[Good Is Dumb|after her]] [[Face Heel Turn]]}}.
* [[Glory Hound]]: Reccoa's obsessed with looking good and having the respect of those around her.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: If she wasn't dead after Emma defeated her, she certainly was when Yazan destroyed her mobile suit.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Evil]]}}
* [[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 behaviourbehavior, it's damned funny. And then there's her constantly expecting {{spoiler|special treatment from the ''Argama'' crew whenever she attacks them, while being totally unwilling to do the same.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Rape as Backstory]]: Implied in the second-to-last episode. It certainly would put quite the spin on her [[Famous Last Words]].}}.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Reccoa's opinion of her piloting skill is truly inflated.
* [[Street Urchin]]: She was one before joining the AEUG.
Line 160 ⟶ 165:
* {{spoiler|[[Yandere]]}}
 
'''===Katz Kobayashi'''===
[[File:Katz 7228.jpg|frame]]
 
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]]: It is now. His birth name according to [[All There in the Manual]] was Katz Hawin.
* [[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]]: By Frau and Hayato, along with his now-brother and sister Letz and Kikka. He loves them, but unfortunately, he thinks going to war is what 15-year-olds do.
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: He used to be like this towards Amuro, but the latter's [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|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]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: By Yazan Gable. [[Hero-Killer|Noticing a pattern here]]?}}?
* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]: His crush on Sarah seriously impairs his judgement. We get that you like her, Katz, but dude, she works for [[Big Bad|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.
 
'''===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 ''MSGMobile Suit Gundam'', he has a pretty solid idea of what to expect from Kamille.
----
* [[Bright Slap|Bright]] <s> [[Bright Slap|Slap]]</s> [[Memetic Mutation|PAUWWWWNNCH]]
* [[The Captain]]: It's Bright Noa, what else could he be?
* {{spoiler|[[Cry Cute]]: When he watches a tape that has a loving message from his wife and children.}}.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: It's only the second iteration of ''Gundam'', but Bright already knows all the story conventions.
* [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]]
Line 195 ⟶ 200:
* [[Team Dad]]: Keeps this status from the previous series. It helps that now he is an actual father as well.
 
'''===Commander Blex Forer'''===
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]
* [[Kouji Ishii]]: Movie.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: As the head of the AEUG, Blex is a kind and intelligent leader dedicated to the freedom of both Spacenoids and Earthlings from the Titans's grasp. Even Char, a man with a bad case of [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]], respects him.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lamb]]}}
* [[Team Dad]]
 
'''===Apolly Bay'''===
[[File:95471 134.jpg|frame]]
 
* [[Big Damn Heroes]] He does this surprisingly often for a minor character, {{spoiler|but he gets extra points for doing it once in the brand new Zeta Gundam}}.
* [[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]].
Line 212 ⟶ 217:
* [[Nice Guy]]: He might be a quippy former Zeon pilot, but Apolly is very friendly and easy to get along with.
* [[Ridiculously Average Guy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet]] For Fa.}}.
* [[Tohru Ookawa]]: Movie.
<br clear="all" />
 
'''===Shinta and Qum'''===
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Two of them! They're as annoying or worse than the trio from ''MSGMobile Suit Gundam''.
* [[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 &and Civilians ==
==== Karaba ====
 
'''Hayato Kobayashi'''
* [[Badass Baritone]]: Surprisingly enough.
* [[Bright Slap]]: It makes Katz a little smarter for a short while.
* [[The Captain]]: Of the ''Audhumla''. He's the overall leader of Karaba, though, so he's referred to in the English dub as "Director Hayato".
* [[The Good Captain]]
* [[Happily Married]]: From what we see.
Line 237 ⟶ 243:
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]
 
'''===Amuro Ray'''===
[[File:Amuro Ray-Zeta 6002.jpg|frame]]
 
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]] -: [[Captain Obvious|He's]] [[Badass|Amuro Ray.]].
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Katz and to a lesser degree Kamille do not take their idol's [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|shellshock]] well.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Only shows up in a handful of episodes.
Line 255 ⟶ 261:
* [[Still Got It]]: ''"This isn't a runway!"'' (Katz). That, or being able to mentally calculate how to take down a mobile armor with a freighter and the exact moment to bail from that plane, all without breaking a sweat.
* [[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 MSMobile Suit.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: The "cute" part is subjective (Beltorchika certainly thinks so), but the "troubled" is undeniable.
 
'''===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]].
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Partially, since she's clingy yet has no real love rival.
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Scoop]]: After her [[Character Development]].}}.
* [[Lady in Red]]: Nice red [[Qipao]], Belto.
* [[Maria Kawamura]]
Line 272 ⟶ 278:
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]
 
==== Civilians ====
'''===Kai Shiden'''===
[[File:Kai Shiden-Zeta 8165.jpg|frame]]
 
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 Gundam'' as a journalist/AEUG spy, operating in the rainforest.
----
* [[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]]: Like all of his former crewmates, his role in ''Zeta Gundam'' is considerably smaller than in the previous series.
* [[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]]: And he can appear anywhere at any time, including the Vatican!
* [[Knight in Sour Armour]]: He actually seems to have cheered up a shade or two from being [[The Eeyore]] of the last show, but then he doesn't have to be a soldier anymore.
* [[Man in White]]
* [[Older and Wiser]]: Still cynical, snarky, and bitter, but he is willing to give far more of a damn about things, care who he allies himself with, and be far less of a needless loudmouthed jerk.
* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]: White suit, fedora, and tie.
* [[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.
* [[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'''===
* [[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.
* [[Hot Mom]]: The [[Art Evolution]] doesn't make her a super beauty, but she still looks cuter than in the original series.
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: The woman almost ''never'' loses her cool, whether it's towards Beltochika saying too much, or towards {{spoiler|the [[Hostage Situation]] she and her kids are forced in}}.
* [[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 {{spoiler|the [[Hostage Situation]] she and her kids are forced in.}}
 
'''===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===
* [[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.
Line 323 ⟶ 327:
* [[Plucky Girl]]
 
'''===Sayla Mass'''===
* [[The Cameo]]
 
Line 336 ⟶ 340:
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Jamitov's ambitions are what get the series started with he and the Titans having amassed so much power within the Earth-Sphere and becoming a major threat to any who get in his way.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: His goatee.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Until Scirocco kills and takes over the role.}}.
* [[Non-Action Big Bad]]: He's the leader of Titans, and the [[Big Bad]] for most of the show, yet he never participates in any combat operations in any sort of role.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Commissar Cap]]: When in uniform.
* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]: Killed in Episode 46, allowing Scirocco to take over as the [[Big Bad]]}}.
* [[Evil Old Folks]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Tomomichi "[[Street Fighter|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]]: Not to Bask's degree, but Jamitov is quite tall and the leader of the Titans.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Non-Action Big Bad]]: He's the leader of Titans, and the [[Big Bad]] for most of the show, yet he never participates in any combat operations in any sort of role.
* [[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]]: A variation. He doesn't want to take over Earth, but to abandon it and take over the Colonies.
* [[War for Fun and Profit]]: Uses the war against the AEUG to secure his own power.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|1=According to side material, [http://www.mechatalk.net/viewtopic.php?p=118415#p118415 a link], and several scenes throughout the series, Jamitov actually hates Earthlings and is trying to get them into space. He hired a mad dog like Bask to brutalize colonists and stir up rebellion, triggering the collapse of the Earth Federation and a mass exodus to the colonies with him in charge.}}.
 
'''===Bask Om'''===
[[File:Bask Ohm 2391.jpg|frame]]
 
Line 368 ⟶ 371:
* [[Daisuke Gouri]]
* [[The Dragon]]: To Jamitov.
* [[Dragon Their Feet]]: Was nowhere to be seen when {{spoiler|Scirocco blew Jamitov away. He's killed shortly afterwards.}}. Interestingly, the movie trilogy corrects this oversight: {{spoiler|Bask is given a scene alongside Scirocco's speech, guessing right away that he killed Jamitov, only to be let himself be baited by Yazan into focusing on the AEUG instead. Pointedly, it's Yazan and not Reccoa who bumps him off later.}}.
* [[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.
Line 389 ⟶ 392:
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: In addition to hitting {{spoiler|Reccoa}} 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'''===
[[File:Scirocco 1811.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|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]]: Scirocco pilots the suits he designs flawlessly. He frequently goes toe-to-toe with the likes of Kamille and Char.
Line 398 ⟶ 401:
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Much of the conflict in ''Zeta Gundam'' is due to Scirocco's lust for power leading him to bump off or manipulate both enemies and allies, leading to many of the people around him being killed or left irreparably broken.
* [[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.
* [[Astral Projection]]: He has a Newtype battle against Haman where the two of them throw projections of themselves at one another.
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Graduates from [[Enigmatic Minion]] to this after deposing Jamitov}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: With Haman Kahn at the very end.}}.
* [[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. [[Compensating for Something|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 [[Heavyworlder|Jupiter's gravity well]].
* [[Bin Shimada]]{{context}}
** [[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 [[Heavyworlder|Jupiter's gravity well]].
* [[Blood Oath]]: He gives one to Jamitov when pledging his allegiance to the Titans. {{spoiler|It doesn't stop him from perforating Jamitov the moment he gets the chance.}}
* [[Bin Shimada]]
* [[Bishonen]]: Scirocco is a 26-year-old, with a handsome face, a feminine, thin frame and legions of female followers.
* [[Blood Oath]]: He gives one to Jamitov when pledging his allegiance to the Titans. {{spoiler|It doesn't stop him from perforating Jamitov the moment he gets the chance}}.
* [[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—heout: he's just using you.
* [[Consummate Liar]]: Scirocco can talk a good game about the benevolent new world he claims to be making and gives subordinates big speeches on their role in it, but every indication from his constant betrayals and lack of interest in the lives of his followers indicates it's all the well laid facade of a power hungry man.
* [[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.
Line 422 ⟶ 425:
* [[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 {{spoiler|her death}}.
* [[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 akaa.k.a. 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 [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Tassilo Vargo]] and [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Ribbons Almark]], and a [[Captain Ersatz]] in [[Project Justice|Kurow Kirishima]].
* {{spoiler|[[Famous Last Words]]: "I won't die alone. I'm going to take your soul with me, Kamille Bidan."}}
* [[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.
Line 431 ⟶ 434:
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: He's stabbed through by the blade of a Gundam, through his machine, into his own physical body}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Klingon Promotion]]: Played with. Scirocco has to knock off ''two'' Klingons to consolidate his power.}}.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Scirocco believes that humanity requires an absolute dictator to keep that masses' uncontrolled emotions from ruining the elites.
* [[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.
Line 442 ⟶ 445:
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Scirocco wears a custom white Titans uniform, but is a ruthless manipulator.
* [[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]]: Heavily implied to be his ultimate goal, with Scirocco's claims that he believes it will be a woman who becomes the ruler of mankind, his aligning himself with Reccoa, whom he tells he sees her as an ideal leader and his ultimate [[Take Over the World]] goal.
* [[Man in White]]: Scirocco's white uniform, which seems to be unique among the Titans.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Scirocco toys with the emotions of his subordinates and enemies alike in order to provoke the response he wants.
* [[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]].
* [[Mind Manipulation]]: Though the exact extent of Scirocco's use of his powers is left purposefully vague, the mental projections Reccoa and other characters see of him heavily imply that he's using his powers to lull them to his side.
* [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler|Does this to Camille as a retributory strike just before he dies}}.
* [[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 sabresaber.
* [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]: His psychic powers allow him to be able to sense other Newtypes, as shown when he's able to feel Kamille and later Reccoa's presences when they near.
* [[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.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: The only time we really see his frigid exterior crack is when {{spoiler|Sarah dies, and he forgets all about the psychic battle he was waging just moments before in favor of going after her killer}}.
* [[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.
* [[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 Link]]
* [[Psychic Powers]]: One of the most powerful Newtypes to ever appear in-series, to the point where he's able to {{spoiler|[[Mind Rape]] the equally powerful Kamille as he's dying}} and is more or less broadcasting his presence to everyone in his general vicinity.
* [[Renaissance Man]]: Starship captain, battlefield strategist, psychological mastermind, a smooth-talker, mobile suit designer and Federation ace. He's a busy man.
* [[Astral Projection]]: He has a Newtype battle against Haman where the two of them throw projections of themselves at one another.
* [[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, [[Badass Normal|no powers]] and a [[The Brute|direct way]] of handling problems. They get along very well.
* [[Mind Manipulation]]: Though the exact extent of Scirocco's use of his powers is left purposefully vague, the mental projections Reccoa and other characters see of him heavily imply that he's using his powers to lull them to his side.

* [[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, [[Badass Normal|no powers]] and a [[The Brute|direct way]] of handling problems. They get along very well.
* [[Social Darwinist]]: He views humanity as being separated into masses and elites. Scircco finds the masses to be disgusting as their unchecked emotions hold elites like himself back.
* [[Sore Loser]]: See [[Taking You with Me]] below.
* [[Space Fighter]]: The Messala's altmode.
* [[The Starscream]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Beyond a put-on mild mannered politeness, Scirocco speaks in a reserved tone, rarely getting excited or angered even in the midst of the war he's participating in.
* [[Not So Stoic]] - The only time we really see his frigid exterior crack is when {{spoiler|Sarah dies and he forgets all about the psychic battle he was waging just moments before in favor of going after her killer.}}
* [[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]]: Scirocco talks like a [[Visionary Villain]], but since his actual objectives are never made clear (and let's face it, he's far from the most trustworthy person in the Universal Century), his motivations are pretty up in the air. The one thing that is clear is that he wants to rule the world.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: A variation. As he's dying he lashes out with his [[Psychic Powers]] and manages to {{spoiler|[[Mind Rape]] Kamille into a coma}}.
* [[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, [[Consummate Liar|Scirocco lies.]]. [[Up to Eleven|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]]: {{spoiler|Pulls this on Jamitov towards the end}}.
 
'''===Jamaican Daninghan'''===
[[File:95478 9871.jpg|frame]]
 
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.
----
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]: Admit it--: when Yazan killed him, you either didn't care at all or cheered.}}.
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|Death]] by [[Unfriendly Fire]]}}: {{spoiler|Yazan lures Emma to kill Jamaican for interfering with his bloodlust.}}
* [[Keaton Yamada]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}: {{spoiler|Yazan lures Emma to kill Jamaican for interfering with his bloodlust}}.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Jamaican isn't a psychopath like Yazan or Bask but he cares about nothing other than his own career.
* [[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]]
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Jamaican is more of an [[Armchair Military]] type of character much like Bask and Jamitov: this further contrasts him with the Mobile Suit Pilot Titans.
* [[Porn Stache]]: Jamaican wears his mustache [[Adolf Hitler]] style.
* [[The Rival]]: Views Scirocco as his rival within the Titans. Scirocco [[Paper Tiger|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 {{spoiler|die right around the time that Scirocco, Yazan, and the rest of the real threats appear.}}.
* [[State Sec]]
* [[We Have Reserves]]: Jamaican views his soldiers as resources rather than people. While he doesn't deliberately throw them away in futile operations (at one point, ordering Jerid, whom he hates, to stand down lest he die pointlessly), there is no personal care or attachment that he places on their lives. The deaths of grunts are acceptable losses provided they die performing useful operations.
* [[We Have Reserves]]
 
'''===Jerid Messa'''===
{{quote|"I'll make that pompous fool kneel before me someday."}}
[[File:Jerid Messa 6790.jpg|frame]]
Line 508 ⟶ 510:
* [[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]]: Has the personality of a classic high school 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]]: {{spoiler|Falls for Lila and Mouar, both get killed off}}.
* [[Char Clone]]: In a story where [[Trope Namer|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 [[Mobile Suit Gundam|a lot of the tensions Amuro and Char had during the One Year War.]].
* [[CryEven forEvil theHas DevilStandards]]: AnHe absoluteisn't asshole,a fan of gassing yeahcolonies, but thethen few timesagain, he getsjust tofollows [[Petorders theon Dog]]...it and doesn't ouchprotest.
* [[Foil]]: To Kamille. They're both young, arrogant [[Ace Pilot|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.
* [[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 Pilot|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.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Jerid spends a couple of episodes on crutches. He still tracks Kamille and Four across the mountains to deal with them.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Hot headed and quick to rush into combat with no real plans.
* [[It's Personal]]: With Kamille.
* [[Jerkass]]: A jerk to almost everyone who crosses his path. Though when you're a member of the Titans, and that's the worst thing that can be said of you, you're diving right into [[Anti-Villain]] territory.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Jerid definitely gives off this vibe. It's easy enough to see him as the quarterback in an 80's teen movie.
* [[Jerk Jock]]
* [[Just Following Orders]]: The worst of his crimes are committed while doing this.
* [[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.
Line 532 ⟶ 533:
* [[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 Bad]]s Haman and Scirocco. Even Haman herself was shocked durring his [[Unstoppable Rage]] {{spoiler|at her after she attempted to assassinate Jamitov: he ''would'' have killed her had the AEUG not interfered. He's also responsable for killing Apolly near the end.}}.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The Gabthley.
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: With Mouar.
Line 539 ⟶ 540:
* [[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'''===
{{quote|"I'm gonna violate you!"}}
[[File:Yazan Gable 3889.jpg|frame]]
Line 545 ⟶ 546:
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 MSMobile Suit 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 [[Psycho for Hire|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—heSubverted: 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.
Line 561 ⟶ 562:
* [[Hero-Killer]]: Kills {{spoiler|Katz, Henken, Reccoa and Emma (all in the space of one episode)}}, arranges for the death of {{spoiler|Jamaican and one of the ''Argama'''s [[Bridge Bunnies]]}}, and damn near kills Kamille himself on several separate occasions.
* [[Hochu Otsuka]]
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: Although he does get his ass kicked by Kamille near the end of ''Zeta Gundam'', he still manages to escape with his life and remains at large, as proven near the beginning of ''ZZ Gundam''}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}
** It doesn't end there. He's somehow still serving as a pilot for the Federation in the 0090s (according to the manga ''MSV-R: The Return of Johnny Ridden''). Further supplementary materials reveal that he lived out a long and peaceful life, eventually retiring from the service and finding his way back to the Shangri-La colony, where he was hired by a now grown up Leina as a night watchman at the Ashta family's scrapyard.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: {{spoiler|Killing Jamaican.}}
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: {{spoiler|Killing Jamaican}}.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: Gets Emma Sheen to fire at him, than dodges so that the blast will hit {{spoiler|Jamaican}}, whom he hated.
Line 569 ⟶ 571:
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: The first one to appear in the franchise, and the prototype for [[Expy|all the ones that follow]]. If you're a fan of [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Ali Al-Saachez]] or [[Gundam AGE|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!
Line 577 ⟶ 579:
* [[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. {{spoiler|He later arranges for Jamaican to die in a very similar fashion.}}.
* [[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 Hurt a Child]]: As his quote above shows, he believes his enemy's line has children as well as women and he loves getting to hurt the children that make up their ranks whenever he gets the chance.
 
'''===Mouar Pharaoh'''===
[[File:61672 5390.jpg|frame]]
 
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]]: One of the more moral Titans, Mouar lacks the characteristic callousness and violence that other officers possess. Her debut was even her trying to help Jerid, who to her was just a random officer she just met, into an escape vehicle.
* [[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[[Weapons of Mass Destruction]]s.
* {{spoiler|[[The Gwen Stacy]]: Like Lyla, she becomes one to Jerid}}.
* [[Just Following Orders]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: In addition to being calm, reasonable, and far more moral than her teammates, she's the only woman in ''Zeta Gundam'' (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]]
* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet]]: Intercepts a blast from the ''Zeta'' Gundam to save Jerid.}}.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: Has flown a few.
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: With Jerid.

'''===Four Murasame'''===
[[File:Four Murasame 3084.jpg|frame]]
 
Line 611 ⟶ 614:
----
* [[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]]: {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|Indeed...]]}}...
* [[Deadly Change-of-Heart]]: {{spoiler|She starts turning around and is promptly killed by Jerid.}}.
* [[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—asbeing... 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. {{spoiler|It's implied, though, that [[Artificial Human|she might not have a past at all]].}}.
** [[All There in the Manual|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 [[Four Is Death|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. [[Replacement Scrappy|It didn't go]] [[Yoko Oh No|well for her]], though.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: When they said that Cyber-Newtypes tend to be mentally unstable, they were not kidding. Four goes from having a merry romantic scene with Kamille to trying to crush him with the Psyco Gundam scarily fast.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]
* [[State Sec]]: The Newtype lab is allied with the Titans.
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: With Kamille.
* [[State Sec]]: The Newtype lab is allied with the Titans.
* [[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'''===
[[File:69947 5179.jpg|frame]]
 
Line 648 ⟶ 651:
* [[Adult Child]]: [[Split Personality|Rosammy]], as a result of being...
** [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]
* [[Badass]]: During her first two apperancesappearances, she engages Kamille and Char at the same time with no backup and accquitsacquits 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]]: They are the reason she is such an [[Axe Crazy]] [[Mood Swinger]] psycho.
* [[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.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She forgets to get dressed between completing her physical and hugging Kamille.
* [[Lady in Red]]
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Psyco Gundam II.
* [[Psychic Link]]: With Gates Capa.
* [[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 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.
Line 670 ⟶ 672:
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: She's 17.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The Gaplant.

'''===Sarah Zabiarov'''===
[[File:Sarah Zabiarov 884.jpg|frame]]
 
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.
----

* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: She and Katz share a mutual attraction.
* [[Evil Redhead]]: [[Yandere]] redhead anyway.

* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Keeps her short ponytail in place with two cute green hair clips.
* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]
* [[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 {{spoiler|killed}}.
* [[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—orgo... or just how much he's manipulating her for that mattter.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: The Bolinoak Samaan has one on its left arm.
* [[Woman in Black]]
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]
 
'''===Kacricon Cacooler'''===

[[File:280px-Ben1 8640.gif|frame]]
 
* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Elite Mook]]
* [[The Good Captain]]: He's a bad person, but he sincerely seems to care about his men and the mission.
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: See Villainous Valour below.
* [[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'''===
[[File:Gates Capa 5105.png|frame]]
 
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.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Subverted, as {{spoiler|Rosamia}} is brainwashed into seeing him as one.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Subverted, as {{spoiler|Rosamia}} 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]]
Line 739 ⟶ 740:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Has no problems using Rosamia's need for a brother to help keep her under control.

Line 747 ⟶ 748:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: He's usually stuck with handler Loren Nakamoto.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous BSOD]]: In the anime, Rosamia's death sends him into one. In the novels, the psychic backlash created by the same incident ''kills him''.}}.
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Showed up for a grand total of ''two'' episodes, and is absent from the movie remake altogether.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Originally, Gates was {{spoiler|supposed to die together with Rosamia.}} And ''then'' he was going to {{spoiler|survive and reappear in ''ZZ Gundam''}}.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[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. {{spoiler|In the movies, Scirocco trusts him enough to let him come along with his other loyal retainers to the meeting with Axis.}}.
* [[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.
Line 764:
== Other Earth Federation Personnel ==
 
'''===Lila Milla Rira'''===

* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[The Gwen Stacy]]: {{spoiler|To Jerid}}.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Just ask Jerid.

Line 783:
[[File:Haman Khan 3673.jpg|frame]]
 
The leader of the Axis Zeon, Haman Khan is a former 'friend' of Char Aznable, and regent to Mineva Lao Zabi.

She is [[The Big Bad]] of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]'' (see ''ZZ'''s character sheet for more on that).
----

* [[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]]
Line 797 ⟶ 798:
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: To Mineva. As is typical for the trope, she's the real power behind the throne.
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Hope Spot]]: {{spoiler|During her psychic duel with Kamille. She's ''just about'' to [[Heel Face Turn|embrace the promising vision he offers]], but reconsiders at the last second, deciding it's a trap.}}.
* [[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 Gundam''.
* [[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, {{spoiler|Scirocco does the job for her and lets her take the blame. Notably, she doesn't object to this.}}.
* [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]: Able to sense the presence of other Newtypes.
* [[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 Link]]
* [[Psychic Powers]]: She's a Newtype, like most of the other major players in Zeta. Her abilities include:

** [[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.
* [[Technopath]]: Only in her Qubeley, and only with the aid of the Qubeley's psycommu system.
* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Char, bordering on [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]].
* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Char, bordering on [[Yandere]].

* [[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.
