George Glenn (ジョージ・グレン Jōji Guren?) is a fictional character from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED set in the Cosmic Era timeline of the Gundam metaseries.
[edit] Gundam SEED
George Glenn was humanity's first Coordinator, he obtained his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at the age of 17. Glenn had numerous achievements, he was a star athlete, an Olympic silver medalist, as well as a famous American football player. He was also an ace pilot in the Air Force, as well as having numerous achievements in the field of aerospace engineering.
Glenn would embark on the Jupiter Exploration Mission for the Atlantic Federation's FASA (Federal Aeronautics and Space Administration) on a spaceship he himself designed that would take seven years. Before he embarked on his journey, he revealed a shocking truth to the people of Earth. Glenn explained that he was not born through natural means and that his genes were modified artificially early in his life. He explains that his body surpasses that of unaltered humans in every aspect-strength, intelligence, and creativity.
Fourteen years later, Glenn brought back from his exploration Evidence 01, also called the "Winged Whale." It was an extraterrestrial fossil found orbiting Jupiter that proved the existence of alien life. This discovery would prompt the temporary weakening of the influence of religious extremists on the world.
In the end, a Natural who was angry that he was not born a Coordinator assassinated Glenn in C.E. 53.
[edit] Gundam SEED Astray
George Glenn appears in the manga series Gundam SEED Astray as a hologram created by The Professor, because his brain was preserved in the GG Unit, which was given to Lowe. He would become the captain of the Junk Guild ship, ReHOME.

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- Hideyuki Hori also voiced Lord Djibril, the leader of Blue Cosmos, in Gundam SEED Destiny, which is somewhat ironic seeing as how George Glenn is the first Coordinator and Djibril wants nothing more than to see all Coordinators wiped out.
- In Super Robot Wars W, Glenn is the one that gives the Gekigangar III tapes to the Jovians.
- His name might be based on John Glenn, the third American in space, and the first to orbit the Earth.
