[edit] Basic personality
Schwarz is G Gundam's masked-man, similar to Char Aznable from the original series. He is a master of "German ninjutsu", and proves that he can dish it out by not only defeating Domon on numerous occasions, but also holding back Master Asia. Schwarz's origins were a mystery, as was his similarity to Domon's brother Kyoji, until the final battle before the Battle Royal at Lantou Island. After Domon finally beat Schwarz, it was revealed that he was, in fact, Kyoji all along, or rather, his shadow. He also seems to have a few of the same qualities as The Masked Racer in Speed Racer.
[edit] Role in the story
The masked Gundam Fighter who represents the space colony of Neo Germany. A master of German Ninjutsu, Schwarz has near-magical powers of stealth and deception; he can appear and disappear at will, disguise himself with ease, and confound his foes with illusions and Ninja trickery. Fortunately for Domon Kasshu, this mysterious fighter seems to be on his side, appearing at key moments to protect Domon from danger and teach him the discipline of a true warrior.
[edit] Biography
Schwarz first appeared in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo after Master Asia revealed to former pupil Domon Kasshu that he was a servant of the JDG-00X Devil Gundam. After the Devil Gundam withdrew from Japan, Schwarz defeated Domon in an unofficial Gundam Fight to prove to Domon how lacking his skills were. He challenged Domon to learn to use a rusty sword to slice apart trees as a way to activate the Super Mode of his GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam. When Domon decided to train in South America's Guyana Highlands, Schwarz maneuvered Domon's fellow members of the Shuffle Alliance to come to Guyana and train with him. When the Devil Gundam reappeared in the Guyana Highlands, Schwarz was severely injured while trying to protect Domon from Master Asia. After Domon defeated the Devil Gundam, Schwarz appeared in Neo Hong Kong alive and well for the Gundam Fight Finals. As the Finals continued, Schwarz was the first to discover that Wong Yun Fat had secretly transported the Devil Gundam to Neo Hong Kong with the intention of resurrecting it.
As the Finals neared their end, Schwarz was assigned to fight Domon's GF13-017NJII God Gundam in the final match before the Battle Royale. While Domon was able to counter Schwarz's Sturm Und Drang with his own Sekiha Tenkyoken, Wong's treachery caused Schwarz to be mortally wounded. After the match, Domon was shocked to see that the unmasked Schwarz looked identical to his brother Kyoji, the pilot of the Devil Gundam. In a hospital, Rain Mikamura learned the truth about Schwarz and Kyoji. Earlier in the tournament, the Devil Gundam defeated the real Schwarz. Using the last of his free will, Kyoji took over Schwarz's body and used DG cells to create an android copy of himself. He assigned Schwarz to protect Domon and watch over him. During the Battle Royale on Lantao Island, the Gundam Spiegel was destroyed when Schwarz faced the Devil Gundam for the last time before dying himself.
