[edit] Crew of the Archangel

  • Lieutenant Amagi [GSD] – Voiced by: Susumu Chiba (Japanese),[1] Jason Simpson (English)
Orb; Todaka's second-in-command in Orb's 2nd Defense Fleet. As the Takemikazuchi is about to be destroyed, Todaka sends all personnel on board the ship who still believe in Cagalli Yula Athha and the ideals of Orb to the Archangel with the remaining mobile suits and weaponry. Amagi and the remaining crew do so and Amagi becomes the Archangel's executive officer, though he later transfers to become the executive officer of the Kusanagi. He is fiercely loyal to Cagalli and Orb.
  • Sai Argyle (サイ・アーガイル Sai Āgairu?) [GS]
Ex-Earth Alliance, Natural; Archangel's original crew member. Chandra works alongside Sai Argyle in the ship's Combat Information Center, manning one of its electronic warfare stations. He is also responsible for managing the Archangel's complement of civilian volunteers. He returns to help the Archangel when the Second Bloody Valentine War occurs.
  • Mu La Flaga (ムウ・ラ・フラガ Mū Ra Furaga?) [GS/GSD]
Ex-Earth Alliance, Natural; Archangel's original crew member. He is the chief engineer of the Earth Alliance ship Archangel. He is a father figure to the young crew of the Archangel, and aside from his gruff appearance, he learns to laugh it off. He is also fond of making puns now and then to relieve the pressure of working onboard the ship. He is protective of the equipment on board the Archangel (especially the Skygraspers), and has repeatedly expressed unwillingness to let unexperienced personnel (Tolle Koenig or Cagalli Yula Athha) near them. In the Second Bloody Valentine War, he returns to the Archangel to assume his former position.

Orb, Natural; Cagalli's guardian during her time with Desert Dawn, officer within the Orb military, and co-captain of the Kusanagi. In the Second Bloody Valentine War he is seen in an Earth Alliance uniform leading a group of defected Earth Alliance soldiers after Gilbert Durandal's speech against Logos. Shortly after, he rescues Athrun Zala and Meyrin Hawke who were shot down in their escape from ZAFT and turns them over to Archangel for medical treatment; pilots Waltfeld's old red/gold color MVF-M11C Murasame during ZAFT's invasion of Orb; remains behind in Orb with Cagalli after the Archangel heads to space.
Ex-Orb, Natural; third in command of Asagi's M1 Astray squad; killed when engaging an enemy ZGMF-600 GuAIZ on September 26, CE 71. In the game Battle Assualt 3, Mayura is the best of the M1 Astray pilots when it comes to martial arts.
Ex-Orb, Natural; one of the members on Asagi's M1 Astray squad, second in command; she tries to steal the MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame, piloted by Lowe Guele, in order to test its Natural OS; killed on September 26, CE 71 by one of the Earth Alliance's GAT-01 Strike Daggers. In the game Battle Assualt 3, she is depicted as being the best as using firearms.
Chief designer in the Orb Union's military force and senior engineer of Morgenroete; she is a Coordinator; fails to develop a mobile suit operating system (OS) that would allow a Natural to fight on a similar level as a Coordinator, until the arrival of Kira Yamato and the Archangel, who help her construct an OS for the Orb Union's mobile suit, the MBF-M1 M1 Astray; later she helps rebuild the Strike and equips it with her OS system (which is later given to Mu La Flaga), and constructs the Strike Rouge on the Kusanagi near the end of the war. She joins the Three Ship Alliance so she could help the M1s in space. In Gundam SEED Destiny, she is among the many Orb personnel that are still loyal to Cagalli. She is married and has one son, Ryuta.

  • Flay Allster (フレイ・アルスター Furei Arusutā?) [GS]
Orb, Natural; one of the Heliopolis civilians that stayed on the Archangel. At the start of the series, Kuzzey lives on the neutral Orb space colony of Heliopolis with his family and his friends – Kira, Miriallia, Sai, and Tolle. His peaceful life ends when the colony is raided by ZAFT in search of prototype Earth Alliance mobile suits which have been secretly produced in the colony. The fighting ultimately destroys the colony; Kuzzey and his friends end up as refugees in the care of the Earth Alliance battleship Archangel. When Kira is unofficially drafted to pilot the remaining GAT-X105 Strike, Kuzzey and the others volunteer to help out. They are assigned to bridge positions; Kuzzey is assigned as the communications operator. Although he is often fearful and reluctant of participating in the war, Kuzzey stays during the first opportunity to leave since his friends declare they will stay. After participating in further battles, however, he leaves. He almost changes his mind, but Sai tells him not to worry about what other people are doing and stick by his decision. It is assumed that Kuzzey escapes the dangers of the war in Orb with his family but their fate is never revealed in SEED or SEED Destiny.

Natural; an officer of the Earth Alliance general staff, stationed at the Alliance's JOSH-A headquarters. After the Archangel arrives in Alaska, Sutherland subjects its officers to an inquiry. Sutherland's comments in the course of this hearing, which reveal own prejudice against Coordinators, provide a hint as to his real agenda to eliminate all Coordinators. At the Battle of JOSH-A, Sutherland is one of the two OMNI officers who triggers the Cyclops System in an attempt to get rid of OMNI's less desirable forces and a large portion of ZAFT's fighting strength. He ultimately dies when his ship, the Doolittle is destroyed by the combined efforts of Yzak Joule and Dearka Elsman at the Battle of Jachin Due.
  • Adam Vermilyea [GSD]
Natural; a member of Logos.

  • Neo Roanoke (ネオ・ロアノーク Neo Roanōku?) [GSD]

[edit] Others

Natural; Vice Minister of the Atlantic Federation and father of Flay Allster. While en route to rendezvous with his daughter on board the Archangel, his escort ship the Montgomery is attacked by ZAFT. He does not make it to the lifepod in time and dies when his ship explodes. It is unknown if using Toshihiko Seki as the voice of George Allster (he also voices Rau Le Creuset) was intentional to aid the plot device of Rau capturing Flay in Alaska.
Natural; President of the Atlantic Federation. After the Junius Seven Colony Drop, he sends a list of demands to the PLANT Supreme Council requiring the PLANTs to dismantle their military, dismiss the current PLANT Supreme Council, and to submit to Earth Alliance inspectors. When the PLANTs refuse and continue to seek a diplomatic solution, Copland orders the Earth Alliance fleet to attack the PLANTs, under pressure from Lord Djibril, the leader of Blue Cosmos. After the ZAFT defense forces wipe out the entire nuclear attack force, Copland begins to have second thoughts about prolonging the war, but that doesn't stop him from heeding Djibril's orders. Eventually, Djibril gets killed during the Battle of Daedalus and then PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal unveils his Destiny Plan. Copland refuses to follow the Plan and tries to seek a diplomatic solution by contacting Durandal from the Arzachel Lunar Base. Without even responding to the request for contact, Durandal uses the captured and repaired Requiem superweapon to destroy the Arzachel Lunar Base, some of the Alliance fleet, and kills Copland.
  • Al Da Flaga (アル・ダ・フラガ Aru Da Furaga?) [GS] – Voiced by: Kouzou Mito (Japanese)
Natural; an influential and affluent Atlantic Federation politician; father of Mu La Flaga. His relation with his son Mu was strained at best. He did not want his fortune to be inherited by Mu, whom he believed to be an impure son, "tainted" by the inferior DNA of a mother. Al made a deal with Kira Yamato's father, Ulen Hibiki, to make a clone of Al in exchange for research grants. This way his fortune would go to someone he approves of–a son who is an exact copy of himself. However, the process was not completely successful and several clones were created after the instability of Rau La Flaga[3] (who would later become known as Rau Le Creuset) became apparent: including Rey Za Burrel. These cloning experiments were the precursor to Dr. Hibiki's Ultimate Coordinator project which created Kira Yamato, as Hibiki used the funding he received from Al in creating Kira. Al died when his mansion caught on fire, while Mu survived. Rau La Flaga would then assume the name Rau Le Creuset, move to the PLANTs, and join ZAFT.
  • His name may be a wordplay on "Elder Flaga", as he is the father of Mu La Flaga.[verification needed]
Natural; Commander of 8th Fleet, Admiral Halberton is Lt. Murrue Ramius' mentor. He sacrifices his life in order to protect the Archangel. In an apparent kamikaze attack, the crew onboard the Gamow attempt to ram their ship into Archangel; Halberton prevents this by ordering the Menelaos to move in between the two ships. Consequently, both the Gamow and the Menelaos burn up during atmospheric reentry with Halberton on the latter. He believes the Archangel and the GAT-X105 Strike are critically important to ending the war. He was apparently one of the chief sponsors for the development of the GAT-X prototypes.

[edit] Eurasian Federation

Natural; Admiral in Eurasian Federation forces, in charge of the Artemis asteroid fortress in Earth orbit at Lagrange point 3; wants to take advantage of the situation and steal the Archangel and the GAT-X105 Strike from the Atlantic Federation when it is being pursued by the Le Creuset team. Unfortunately for him, the GAT-X207 Blitz uses its Mirage Colloid to sneak in undetected and lay waste to Artemis's defenses right when he tries to force Kira Yamato to remove the lock on the Strike's OS. He is ultimately crushed by a Moebius unit shot down by Dearka Elsman in the GAT-X103 Buster. In Gundam SEED Astray, however, after the "Umbrella of Artemis" is destroyed by the Blitz and the Archangel has escaped, he contracts the Serpent Tail mercenary company for defense of the base; holds Elijah Kiel hostage when he wants to acquire the Astray Red Frame to make up for the lost of the Strike; when Gai Murakumo fights with Lowe Guele and successfully brings the Red Frame close to the control room, the situation reverses and Garcia is held hostage by Elijah. As shown in X Astray, he is spared by the Serpent Tail, and becomes Canard Pars' commanding officer. However, his failure to acquire the N-Jammer Canceller prior to the Atlantic Federation receiving it from Rau Le Creuset through Flay Allster results in him being demoted. His eventual fate post-SEED remains unknown.

Coordinator; the captain of the Nazca-class destroyer Vesalius, which serves as Rau Le Creuset's base of operations. Cautious and practical by nature, Ades is sometimes taken aback by his commander's aggressive tactics, but loyally carries out Le Creuset's orders. He ultimately dies when his ship is destroyed by the combined efforts of the Eternal and Kusanagi. Athrun Zala and Dearka Elsman salute the Vesalius as they pass by in their mobile suits and see Ades saluting back just before it explodes.
  • Yzak Joule (イザーク・ジュール Izāku Jūru?) [GS/GSD]
Coordinator; one of the elite ZAFT pilots known as "Reds". He is part of the Le Creuset team and their attack on Heliopolis, but unlike the other four ZAFT Reds, he does not have a parent on the PLANT Supreme Council. Rusty was going to steal either the GAT-X105 Strike or GAT-X303 Aegis, but is killed by an Earth Alliance soldier named Hamana before he could do so. Athrun Zala avenges his death by killing Hamana. Not much is revealed about his character other than the fact that he thinks more like Athrun and Nicol Amalfi; meaning he questions whether they are doing the right thing. He is also described as the "glue" that held the team together in the novelisation of Gundam SEED. In Gundam SEED, Rusty has no lines and his face is not shown (except in a photo on Athrun's billboard), hence viewers did not get a glimpse of his character until Gundam SEED: Special Edition was released. In episode 11 of Gundam SEED Destiny, Athrun, Dearka Elsman, and Yzak Joule are seen walking through a cemetery and laying flowers at the graves of Nicol and Miguel Aiman as well as Rusty.
  • Athrun Zala (アスラン・ザラ Asuran Zara?) [GS/GSD]

[edit] Crew of the Minerva

Minerva's tech crew team leader.
Member of Minerva's tech crew. He and Yolant are fans of Lacus Clyne, not knowing yet she is a fake.
  • Talia Gladys (タリア・グラディス Taria Guradisu?) [GSD]
Minerva bridge personnel, mans the sensors and secondary systems station.
Member of Minerva's tech crew; friends with Shinn.
Coordinator; first officer of the Minerva. Much of his role is to provide comic relief. Appears to be friends with Captain Gladys, he may have a crush on her. Arthur lacks his captain's experience and tactical ability, and he is often bewildered by her decisions. At the Battle of Messiah, Gladys told him to look after everyone when the Minerva was damaged and crashed on the Moon.
Assigned to replace Meyrin Hawke as the Minerva's CIC. Her main job is mobile suit management and communications.
Coordinator; Minerva bridge personnel; helmsman.
Coordinator; Minerva bridge personnel, fire control systems.[4]

[edit] Minerva pilots

  • Athrun Zala (アスラン・ザラ Asuran Zara?) [GS/GSD]

[edit] Council members

Coordinator; a moderate member of the PLANT Supreme Council and father of ZAFT pilot Nicol Amalfi. He finds it difficult to believe that anyone, especially after the death of Nicol, would betray the Coordinators so late in the war when rumours circulate that Lacus Clyne aided in the theft of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom.
Coordinator; the youngest member of the PLANT Supreme Council and the head of the diplomatic committee. She is Siegal Clyne's right hand on the council and deputy leader of the moderate faction. Becomes interim chairwoman after Siegel Clyne's, and subsequently Patrick Zala's, death; retires prior to the start of the Second Bloody Valentine War.
  • Siegel Clyne (シーゲル・クライン Shīgeru Kurain?) [GS]
  • Gilbert Durandal (ギルバート・デュランダル Girubāto Dyurandaru?) [GSD]
Coordinator; a moderate member of the PLANT Supreme Council and father of ZAFT pilot Dearka Elsman.
Coordinator; a radical member of the PLANT Supreme Council and loyal follower of Patrick Zala. Her son Yzak Joule is an Elite pilot.

[edit] Other pilots

  • Mikhail Coast [GSV]
He is a physician before joining ZAFT; while he has no interest in social or political matters, he joins ZAFT because he is interested in war; he became a physician not with the goal of saving patients but to satisfy his curiosity about the human body; always put his own interests as the highest priority and distrusts others; with his observation skills and mobility he controls the mobile suit controller like a doctor uses scalpels; he treats battles like the progression of a disease, and likes to speak with medical terms during battles, such as referring the enemies as "tumours" that require operations for removal; nicknamed the "Doctor" because he can determine the core of the enemies like infected areas and quickly deal with it; pilots the ZGMF-1017M GINN High Maneuver Type; fights with Edward Harrelson in the Battle of Jachin Due and loses; treats the near death Edward Harrelson after Edward and "Sakura Burst" Rena Imelia fight with their Sword Calamity units; carries photojournalist Jess Rabble to PLANT for treatment; piloted a Hospital ZAKU (an unarmed ZAKU carrying a complete field hospital in its backpack) during the second war.
Coordinator; wears the red uniform of the ZAFT ace pilots; she researches the beam weapon systems on the new CGUE Deep Arms because there are many problems and with help from Yzak she is able to complete the mobile suit; nicknamed the "Housenka" (Balsam) by Yzak Joule because of her combat skills (since beams are shooting out in all directions like a blossoming flower), and she wears the balsam as her personal mark; pilots the ZGMF-515 CGUE and YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms. Assigned to the Joule Squadron before the end of the Bloody Valentine War, she participates in the Second Battle of Jachin Due and has fought against Earth Alliance force's female ace pilot "Sakura Burst" Rena Imelia. After the war when Yzak became the youngest member of the Supreme Council,[citation needed] Shiho leaves the Joule squad briefly to fight in the independence war of the U.S.S.A.; after Yzak returns to the frontline Shiho rejoins the Joule squad and pilots a custom ZGMF-1000/M Blaze ZAKU Warrior. She seems to have romantic feelings towards Yzak, but he does not notice them. Shiho wears the male version of the ZAFT uniform, rather than the optional female version.
  • Shiho appears in a crowd or background shots in Gundam SEED[verification needed] and Gundam SEED Destiny, but has no dialogue; however, she is voiced by Makiko Ōmoto in related video games.
Coordinator; last name unknown. Andrew Waltfeld's lover and co-pilot; she serves as the gunner in his LaGOWE, and is killed when the LaGOWE is destroyed by Kira Yamato. Aisha is last seen embracing Waltfeld shortly before the LaGOWE explodes, presumably killing both of them. Although Waltfeld survives, she does not.
Coordinator; the leader of the group of terrorists - former ZAFT soldiers piloting GINN High Maneuver 2s, still loyal to the late Patrick Zala - who cause the Junius Seven Colony Drop out of vengeance for those whom they lost on Bloody Valentine three years earlier, notably his daughter. In a last desperate act, Sato tries to take Athrun Zala down with him by clinging to the ZAKU that Athrun is piloting, but Shinn Asuka intervenes by severing the ZAKU's leg and kicking him away thus causing Sato to crash onto the colony.

[edit] Others

  • Ray Yuki [GS] – Voiced by: Kouzou Mito (Japanese), Ted Cole (English)
Coordinator; a ZAFT team commander who works closely with National Defense Committee chairman Patrick Zala. He also served as a mentor for Patrick's son, Athrun, while he was enrolled in the military academy. Yuki is fatally shot by Patrick for objecting to his plan to wipe out the Naturals, but he manages to return fire before he dies.
  • Lenore Zala [GS/GSD]
Coordinator; wife of Supreme Council Chairman Patrick Zala and mother of ZAFT pilot Athrun Zala. Since she died at the start of the series on Bloody Valentine and has no lines, not much is revealed about Lenore's character other than the fact that she was very beautiful and kind. According to the novelization of Gundam SEED, she and Caridad Yamato were very good friends, which would explain why their sons were such good friends as well. However, in the manga Gundam SEED Destiny: The Edge, she appears in Athrun's dream, as he remembers his childhood days.
The bodyguard assigned by Chairman Durandal to protect and keep watch on Meer Campbell, after she was exposed to be the fake Lacus Clyne; attempted to assassinate Lacus Clyne on the moon surface city Copernicus, using Meer as a bait, but is killed by Athrun Zala in her failed attempt. Still, she manages to severely injure Meer, who dies in Lacus's arms.

[edit] Orb Union

[edit] Royal family

[edit] Athha

Natural; was leader of Orb after his older brother, Uzumi Nara Athha, stepped down as representative; although Homura is initially seen asking for his brother's advice as to what course of action he should take when the Archangel and the Zala team are approaching their territory, he later independently makes the decision to start evacuating Orb's civilian population when confronted by OMNI; he ultimately dies along with his brother and the other key members of the Orb Parliamentary Council when the Kaguya Mass Driver at Onogoro Island is self-destructed to prevent Earth Alliance from obtaining it.

[edit] Seiran

Prime Minister of Orb after the deaths of Uzumi Nara Athha and Representative Homura; is later killed with other Orb officials during ZAFT's invasion of Orb when a Geo GOOhN crashes into the safe shelter.

[edit] Others

Coordinator; Shinn's sister; as the Asuka family ran to an Orb escape ship, she dropped her cell phone; Shinn went after it, but fire from the battle destroyed the hillside the family was on, killing them instantly; Shinn still has Mayu's cell phone and occasionally listens to her voice mail recording, just to hear her voice again.
  • Lieutenant Baba [GSD] – Voiced by: Hikaru Hanada (Japanese), Jacques Lalonde (English)
Orb squadron leader; pilots an MVF-M11C Murasame; he first appeared when Athrun Zala attempted to reenter Orb with the ZGMF-X23S Saviour; Baba and his men drove Athrun off, informing him that no ZAFT units were permitted to enter as Orb was about to join forces with the Earth Alliance; later when a dual EA/Orb fleet attempted to destroy ZAFT's flagship, the Minerva, at the Battle of Crete, Baba almost delivered the final blow with a direct shot at the ship's bridge, but ZGMF-X10A Freedom pilot Kira Yamato stopped him just as he was about to pull the trigger; when Cagalli Yula Athha blocked his path with her MBF-02 Strike Rouge and desperately tried to reason with him, Baba retorted that he must obey Yuna Roma Seiran no matter how ridiculous his orders are and he forcefully shoves Cagalli aside to resume his assault on the Minerva; Baba ultimately dies when he successfully executes a kamikaze attack with his damaged Murasame, destroying one of the Minerva's gun turrets and leaving Cagalli aghast.
Commander of Orb's 2nd Defense Fleet, defies Yuna Roma Seiran by allowing first the Minerva and then the Archangel to escape Orb; later assigned as captain of the Takemikazuchi and promoted to Colonel; he is also the officer who took care of Shinn Asuka after his family was killed during the Battle of Orb. Though he thinks Yuna is a fool and believes in Cagalli Yula Athha, he follows orders nevertheless in hopes of lessening the impact of Yuna's actions. Todaka reluctantly ordered his fleet to open fire on Cagalli in her MBF-02 Strike Rouge at the Battle of Dardanelles knowing perfectly well that she wasn't an imposter as Yuna claimed, but he later breathed a sigh of relief when Kira Yamato jumped in front of her and destroyed the missiIes with his ZGMF-X10A Freedom. In a cruel twist of fate, Todaka is killed at the Battle of Crete when Shinn, the boy he took care of, destroyed the Takemikazuchi with his ZGMF-X56S Impulse. Before he and the Takemikazuchi are destroyed, he sends the remaining personnel under his command to Cagalli and the Archangel.
Cagalli's caretaker. In CE 71, when the Archangel arrives in Orb for the first time, she gets onboard and drags Cagalli off the ship. In CE 73, she delivers a letter written by Cagalli to Kira; she also informs Kira, Lacus, Andrew, and Murrue that Cagalli is getting married.
A member of the Orb military who is in charge of the National Defense Headquarters during the attack on Orb. He strongly disagreed with the Seiran's reasoning to ally with the Earth Alliance Forces and his offensive remark to Lord Djbril being in Orb. When Cagalli Yula Athha made her return to Orb, Soga was the first to arrest Yuna for his crimes of treason, gladly punching him.

[edit] Desert Dawn

Leader of Desert Dawn, a resistance group in North Africa fighting to oust ZAFT from their homeland, which is occupied by Andrew Waltfeld also known as "The Desert Tiger". Although Sahib believes the Earth Alliance is no different from ZAFT, he and his fellow resistance fighters come to the aid of the Archangel and its lone mobile suit, the GAT-X105 Strike, while they are fighting a legion of TMF/A-802 BuCUEs under the command of the Desert Tiger. In order to punish the Desert Dawn for interfering in his assault on the Archangel, the Desert Tiger ordered an assault on the town of Tassil, which served as a base of operations for the Desert Dawn. Even though none of the townspeople were killed in this assault, the Desert Tiger and his men destroyed all of their food and supplies, which angers and drives several of the resistance fighters, including Cagalli Yula Athha, to recklessly chase after the BuCUES in an attempt to kill the Tiger despite Sahib's best efforts to reason with them. Sahib followed these resistance fighters only to find that several of them, including Cagalli's good friend Ahmed El-Fasi, have already been killed. Luckily, the Strike intervenes just in time when one of the BuCUEs is about to run over Sahib as well and forces them to retreat. The Desert Dawn and the Archangel unite for one final assault against the Desert Tiger and emerge victorious thanks in large part to Kira Yamato who delivered the final blow while piloting the Strike. Afterwards, the Desert Dawn and the Archangel part ways with Sahib vowing to keep on fighting until his people are left alone to govern themselves. During the Second War, Ashman's Desert Dawn guerillas are seen attacking the home of a Logos member, and, from the evidence on screen, said member appeared to be Lord Djibril himself. Other than flashbacks, his only appearance in SEED Destiny is his cameo in the "Final Plus" OVA, during the conclusion of the Battle of The Messiah, Ashman watched Messiah crash into the moon, though he did not seem as emotional as some of his men in the background.
    • In the original series, Mobile Suit Gundam, Sahib's seiyuu Masashi Hirose voiced Ramba Ral,[5] the character whom Waltfeld was originally based on up to the moment Kira supposedly killed him.[6][7]
A young resistance fighter who fancies Cagalli Yula Athha during her tenure with Desert Dawn. Killed in battle while engaging the TMF/A-802 BuCUEs along with several other members of Desert Dawn. His mother later gives Cagalli a very large, unpolished malachite stone, which he had planned on carving and giving to her.

[edit] Other

Natural;[8] a 14-year-old girl with the anti-Earth Alliance resistance in Eurasia's Western Gulnahan; under her guidance, the Minerva strikes the Earth Alliance's Lohengrin Gate. She holds a grudge against Shinn for calling her a kid. Though she is a Natural, Conille is kind towards ZAFT for their support.
Another scientist and wife of Ulen Hibiki, the biological mother of Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha. Unlike her husband, who pursues the creation of the Ultimate Coordinator with zeal, she is more concerned about the morality of the situation and is thrown into despair when Ulen uses one of her own unborn children as the latest subject. She is the woman with the two infants who appears in the two photographs given to Cagalli (by Uzumi Nara Athha) and Kira (by Rau Le Creuset). To save the lives of her children, she entrusted them to her sister and brother-in-law, Caridad and Haruma Yamato, in CE 55.[3]
An illegal arms merchant living in Banadiya. When the Desert Dawn and the crew of the Archangel needed ammunition, fuel, food, and water supplies after the destruction of Tassil, they sought his help, which he gladly gave for a hefty fee.
Natural; a blind priest trusted by both the PLANTs and Earth Alliance, thus allowing him to serve as an occasional envoy between the two. He is also closely aligned to the Junk Guild and a mentor to Prayer Reverie. He runs an orphanage in the Marshall Islands and also, with Lowe Guele's aid, brings the severely injured Kira Yamato to Lacus Clyne after Kira's near fatal battle with Athrun Zala. Shortly after he returned to Earth, Athrun paid a visit. While Malchio updates Athrun about the situation with Orb, a young boy says that someday he will destroy ZAFT and kicks Athrun in the leg. Malchio apologizes to Athrun for the boy's insolence and explains that he lost his parents during the occupation of Carpentaria. Sometime between the Battle of Mendel and the Battle of Boaz, Malchio negotiates a treaty between the Junk Guild and the Three Ships Alliance, allowing the Junk Guild vessel ReHOME (aboard which is none other than Lowe) to act as the tender ship of the Three Ships Alliance. After the war, Kira and Lacus move in with Malchio and all of the orphans under his care. Two years later, Reverend Malchio remains much where he was left off at the end of the first series. When the Second Bloody Valentine War begins, he plays much the same role as he did before as well.
Kira's adoptive mother and father respectively. Caridad's sister, Via Hibiki, had entrusted Caridad and Haruma with the children in CE 55.[3] Also according to the novelization of Gundam SEED, she and Lenore Zala were friends. An agreement between Kira's parents and Lord Uzumi results in the twins being separated, though the reason is never given.
  • Evidence 01 [GS]
Also called the "Winged Whale", it is an extraterrestrial fossil that was found orbiting Jupiter by George Glenn, proving the existence of life beyond Earth; the discovery weakens the influence of many religions, which in turn leads to a temporary increase in tolerance for Coordinators; this is a first-ever occurrence of an alien life in the entire Gundam franchise. Lowe Guele briefly encounters what may be a live specimen of the "Winged Whale" in the Pacific Ocean.
There is some evidence that Evidence 01 is not an extraterrestrial, such as the fact that no living organism could survive in Jupiter. Jupiter's gravity is so strong compared to Earth, that hydrogen becomes fluid and can conduct electricity.
