The Principality of Zeon
Age: 20/Height: 175 cm/ Rank: Lieutenant Commander | Known as the "Red Comet" for his high-speed attack tactics, Char
is the most famous of Zeon's ace mobile suit pilots. He earned his nickname by destroying five Federation battleships during
the Battle of Loum, and after the attack on Side 7, he becomes the dreaded nemesis of the White Base crew. However, defeating
the Federation isn't the only thing on Char's mind, and his distinctive mask hides the face of a young man bent on his own
personal quest for revenge. As the story continues, Char begins putting his own complicated schemes into motion, even as he
becomes distracted by his growing rivalry with the Gundam's pilot.
Lalah Sune
Position: Pilot of the MAN-08 El meth / Rank: Ensign
This young woman is a test subject of the Flanagan
Institute, a Zeon research organization created to investigate the gifted humans known as "newtypes". While the actions
of pilots like Char and Amuro have led to speculation that they may be newtypes, Lalah's powers are obvious and undeniable,
and accompanied by a profound spiritual awareness. However, despite her gentle nature, Lalah is fiercely loyal to the man
who saved her life - Char Aznable, the scheming "Red Comet."
Degwin
Sodo Zabi
Age: 62 / Height: 170cm / Rank: Sovereign
Degwin is the patriarch of the Zabi family which rules the Principality
of Zeon. Ten years ago, the revolutionary leader Zeon Zum Deikun - the man who led the space colonies of Side 3 to independence
- died under suspicious circumstances, leaving Degwin as his successor. Degwin then established the Principality and led it
to war against the Earth Federation. But now, after a year of conflict, the old tyrant has grown weary of the fighting, and
his ambitious son Gihren has usurped much of Degwin's power.
Gihren
Zabi
Age: 35/ Height: 190 cm / Rank: Admiral
Gihren is the oldest of Degwin Zabi's children, and
the commander-in-chief of the Zeon military. With an IQ of 240, plenty of charisma, and a gift for rousing speeches, Gihren
has been able to seize the reins of power and reduce his father to little more than a figurehead. To this intellectual monster,
exterminating half the human race in this ferocious war has been just a stepping-stone to eventual world domination. Hey!
Did anyone notice that this guy has a butt chin?
Kycilia Zabi
Age: 24 / Height: 173 cm / Rank: Rear Admiral
The sly, suspicious Kycilia is Degwin Zabi's only
known daughter. She is the commander of Zeon's Mobile Assault Force, based at the lunar city of Granada, and also the direct
superior of her brother Garma. Kycilia is a clever and innovative tactician, and the driving force behind Zeon's mobile suit
and mobile armor development. However, her rivalry with her brothers increasingly undermines Zeon's efforts to hold its own
against the Earth Federation.
Garma Zabi
Age: 20 / Height: 173 cm / Rank: Captain
The youngest son of the Zabi family, handsome and dashing Garma is Degwin's favorite
and the darling of Zeon's citizens. Garma is the nominal commander of Zeon's Earth Attack Force, which controls two-thirds
of the planet's surface. Given his youth and inexperience, it's clear that Garma owes his position to his family's favor,
and he is desperate to prove himself worthy of it. When his military-academy buddy Char Aznable drives the White Base into
his territory, Garma is easily persuaded to risk his life in pursuit of this grand trophy.
Ramba Ral
Height: Close to nothing from the look of it! / Position:
Pilot of MS-07B Gouf / Rank: Lieutenant
This veteran guerilla soldier is a member of Dozle
Zabi's Space Attack Force, dispatched to Earth in order to avenge the death of Garma Zabi by destroying the White Base. Cunning
and experienced, he proves to be the toughest opponent yet, but his efforts are undercut by the scheming and feuding
of the Zabi family. Ultimately, cut off from supplies or reinforcements, Ramba Ral and his men must resort to launching a
suicidal infantry assault on the White Base.
Crowley Hamon
No statistical information
The elegant Hamon is Ramba Ral's aide and lover, who coordinates her man's guerilla
stratagems from the bridge of the hovercraft Gallop. Despite her flirtatious nature - she even sets her sights on young Amuro
at one point - Hamon is passionately devoted to Ramba Ral, and ultimately leads the surviving members of their team in a final
attempt to avenge her lover's defeat. WHO COULD BE IN LOVE WITH THAT WIERDO RAMBA RAL?! She deserves better!
Dozle Zabi
Age: 28 / Height: 210 cm / Position: Pilot of MA-08
Big Zam / Rank: Vice Admiral
After Gihren, Dozle is the next oldest of Degwin Zabi's
surviving children. This scarred veteran is the commander of Zeon's Space Attack Force, which is based at the asteroid fortress
Solomon. Dozle is a born soldier, to whom nothing is more important than honor, duty, and the glory of battle. Despite his
ferocious appearance, he is a loyal family man, devoted to his younger brother Garma, his wife Zenna, and his infant
daughter Mineva. |
M'quve
Position: Pilot of MS-15 Gyan / Rank: Captain
M'quve is the commander of a huge mining operation in Zeon-occupied Eastern Europe,
which extracts vital mineral resources to feed Zeon's war machine. He reports directly to Kycilia Zabi, taking great pains
to conceal the scope of his operation from the other members of the Zabi family. After his base falls to the Federation's
Operation Odessa, M'quve continues serving Kycilia in space, eventually setting a trap for the Gundam at the devastated Texas
colony.
Position: Pilots of the MS-09 Dom
Gaia (far left), Ortega(center), and Mash(far right),
a trio better known as the "Black Tri-Stars," are perhaps Zeon's most famous ace pilots after "Red Comet" Char Aznable. During
the Battle of Loum, they used their famous jetstream attack manuever to capture the Federation's General Revil. On the eve
of Operation Odessa, they are transferred to Earth to shore up M'quve's defenses, and the White Base and its pilots experience
the jetstream attack first-hand.
