History Characters / MobileSuitGundam00ALaws

The head commander of A-Laws and uncle to Billy Katagiri.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:He commits seppuku after the A-LAWS are defeated so he won't have to face the consequences for his atrocities being exposed.]]

* {{Expy}}: To Jamitov Hymem, complete with BeardOfEvil. Unlike Jamitov though, Homer is under no delusion that the A-Laws were his own private force and has no ambition to TakeOverTheWorld; [[KnightTemplar he legitimately wants to eradicate all anti-Federation resistance to realize permanent peace]].

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: He sanctioned some of the A-LAWS's worst atrocities without hesitation or remorse, firmly believing they are all for the betterment of the world.

* NonActionBigBad: Despite being one of the second season's main antagonists, Homer is never seen on a battlfield.

* DirtyCoward: He's confident so long as he has an overwhelming tactical advantage. Once things turn against him, his cowardly nature shows itself. [[spoiler:His last act is futilly trying to run away when Setsuna blows up his bridge.]]

* FatBastard: Overweight and one of the most detistible members of the A-Laws.

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: First appears in the first seaosn finale.

An A-Laws commander. He is shown to be somewhat arrogant and overconfident in his abilities.

* TheStrategist: Though not up to Sumeragi's level.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After he realizes that Sergei wasn't a trator and really did love him, Andrei decides to atone for his patricide by dedicating his life to protecting civilians. [[RedemptionEqualsDeath It eventually gets him killed.]]]]
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:He self-destructs his GN-XIV before the ELS can assimliate him.]]

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:In the movie's final battle, he pilots his GNX-IV and goes into Trans-Am mode to take down as many of the ELS before being killed and assimliated. Before he dies, he sees his mom and dad smiling at him with pride.]]

* {{Expy}}: Since Saji is an Expy to Hathaway and Louise being to Quess, that makes him the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Gyunei's,]] since he is part of the LoveTriangle and he is the comanding officer to Louise like how Gyunei is the comanding officer to Quess, as well as having a love rival on the opposite side of the war.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:[[SelfMadeOrphan For killing Sergei]], it's to avenge his mother. For attempting to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill Saji]], it's because he blames him for Louise's deteriorating mentalcondition.]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:During the Trans-Am burst, Soma makes him realize that Sergei was not a traitor and that he loved him.]]

* HopelessSuitor: He has a crush on Louise, who just sees him as a friend and doesn't like how he keeps trying to pressure him into being more feminie.

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Tried to pursuade Louise to abandon his grudge against Celestial Being, yet his grudge against Sergei bears no difference to hers at all.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Breaksdown crying when Soma makes him realize that Sergei loved him.]]

First introduced in the second season, Andrei is the estranged son of Sergei Smirnov and member of the A-Laws. [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter He holds a grudge against his father for not protecting his mother]] 14 years before the beginning of the second season and joins the HRL military and later the A-Laws to forge his own path. Later in the story, Andrei meets Louise Halevy and develops an interest as he sees her more suited as a lady then a soldier, often protecting her in battle.

In the finale, Andrei eventually comes to terms with his father's actions and in the epilogue, continues to serve in the Federation army in relief efforts [[TheAtoner in order to live up to his mother and father's hopes for the world]].

* TheAtoner: In the epilogue.
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: And how.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Yes, he's an idiot. But in the final battle, piloting his GNX-IV, going into Trans-Am mode to take down as many of the ELS before dying & assimilated? His mom & dad in heaven would be proud.

* EasilyForgiven: By Soma/Marie, although it's because of the [[DeusExMachina Trans-Am Burst]].

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:[[SelfMadeOrphan For killing Sergei]], it's to avenge his mother. For attempting to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill Saji]], it's because he blames him for Louise's deteriorating medical condition.]]
* HeelRealization: He has one during the Trans-Am Burst.
* HopelessSuitor: To Louise.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Towards Sergei. ''Oh so much''. [[spoiler:Later in the story, he concluded ''and'' accused Saji of being a "BastardBoyfriend" to Louise.]]

* IgnoredEnemy: By [[spoiler:[[BashBrothers Setsuna and Saji]]]] in the final battle.

* KarmaHoudini: Subtle and neat subversion. He survived the final battle even if he killed his own father in a fit of rage. However, after his last heart-to-heart with Marie he has actually ''realized'' what he has done, and the prospect of living with his own terrible guilt for his actions, unable to forgive himself and knowing that his love for his MissingMom robbed him of forgiving his DisappearedDad, sounds like a ''much more fitting'' punishment for the series' Scrappy.
** Double-subverted in TheMovie, where he ''finally'' gets his RedemptionEqualsDeath.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: To both Holly and Louise.
%%* MilitaryBrat / ItRunsInTheFamily

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Finally realized his mistake thanks to a heartfelt telepathic conversation with Marie.
