Exsedol Folmo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exsedol Folmo is a fictional character in the Macross universe. He first appears in the original Macross. He also appears in Macross: Do You Remember Love?, Macross: Flash Back 2012, Macross 7, the movie Macross 7: The Galaxy is Calling Me and the OAV Macross 7 Encore.

Exsedol is the Zentradi records keeping officer (a walking living encyclopedia) attached to fleet commander Vrlitwhai Kridanik, and would always be seen at the side of his superior during Space War I giving advice. During their first contact with the humans and upon their discovery that they were miclones, Exsedol advised that they should be left alone, quoting an ancient battle directive. This particular piece of advice was ignored however.

Much later, when the Vrlitwhai fleet had decided to defect to the humans side, he was micloned and sent to the Macross as a peace envoy. When the war ended and UN Spacy was re-established he joined up as an advisor. Some time later, he reverted to his larger size and his body went through major alterations as a precaution against him losing the trove of information lying in his mind, which explains his altered appearance in the later Macross productions.

When the Macross 7 launched, he joined Cpt. Maximilian Jenius as an advisor, and was a great source of information on the new and unknown (to the humans) enemy, the Protodeviln. He can be seen (or at least his giant head can be seen, poking through a special opening) in the Macross 7 command bridge sharing his wealth of experience and knowledge with the command staff.
