Tropes associated with the Meisters:

---

Meisters as a whole

• Ace Pilot:
  • Setsuna is a steamroller in Season 1, piloting the melee-oriented Exia deep into the fray to slash and hack at his adversaries. He mixes it up with the bushwacker style in Season 2, when he obtains the titular 00, still choosing to engage in close combat but being more strategic in his engagements.
  • Allelujah is a pure bushwacker, using the Kyrios'/Arios' great speed to run circles around his opponents while picking them off from the side or singling ones out.
  • Lockon is a sniper. In Season 1, the Dynames is tailored for long-range struggles and precise aiming. Its Season 2 successor, Cherudim, is more befit for barraging its opponents when not sniping, while also given some more melee capability.
  • Tieria is primarily a plugger, with his Virtue/Nadleeh and Seravee/Seraphim being heavily armored in order to take immense punishment. He also makes use of powerful heavy beam cannons to cover his teammates and annihilate the opposition, giving him some likening to a sniper.
• Badass Crew: They're a team of Gundam pilots piloting high tech, nigh-unstoppable mobile suits called Gundams.
• Big Damn Heroes: If someone’s in trouble, there’s a good chance they’ll show up to save the day.
• Byronic Hero: They all have the lofty goal of ending war, but they each have their own deep flaws:
  • Setsuna is still traumatized by his past and has dedicated himself fully to Celestial Being's ideals to the point where he pretty much has no social skills.
  • Allelujah has a bloodthirsty split personality.
  • Lockon comes off as the most stable of the group, but he has a rather nasty vengeful streak. The second Lockon is not quite as vengeful, but he has an inferiority complex towards his brother that leads to some rather obnoxious behavior on his part.
  • Tieria is (at first) willing to do just about anything to fulfill Celestial Being's ideals and has no tolerance for CB members who perform anywhere less than perfectly.
• Character Development: All four learn to come to terms with their flaws and help prevent others from making the same mistakes they did.
• Code Name: Setsuna and Lockon use code names. Allelujah uses his real name, as the closest thing he has to a legal name is just a serial number. Tieria, having never existed independent of Celestial Being, also uses his real name.
• Dark and Troubled Past: All but Tieria. Setsuna is a Self-Made Orphan Child Soldier, Lockon has both dead parents and a dead little sister thanks to a terrorist attack, and Allelujah has Survivor Guilt for killing (and presumably eating to survive) his fellow escapees from the Super-Soldier program.
• Drone Deployer: Lockon and Cherudim start first in Season 2, but by the movie, all Meisters have their own form of Attack Drones for their Gundams.
  • Setsuna and the 00 Qan[T] has six blade bits.
  • Lockon and the Cherudim's shield bits in Season 2 and the Zabanya's rifle/pistol/holster bits in the movie.
  • Allelujah and Harute's scissor bits.
  • Tieria and Raphael's two GN Big Claws and Seravee II.
• Expy: The Gundam Meisters all share similarities with the five Gundam pilots from Gundam Wing.
• Female Gaze: The second ED animation, which featured Setsuna and Allelujah in Shirtless Scenes, a close-up shot of Lockon's crotch and a Sexy Soaked Shirt scene involving Tieria.
• Four Is Death: Four Gundam Meisters that can kick anyone’s ass should they be a threat.
• Good Is Not Soft: Genuinely they are good and caring people. Since they are a Meisters, they believe fighting with Gundam is the only way to stop the wars and change the future to be better.
• Hero with Bad Publicity: They seek to end all war by using military forces, which quickly earns them the animosity of the power blocks, although much of the civilian population support them. However, thanks to the Trinity siblings' brutality and Ribbons's manipulation, the world comes to view them as terrorists.
• Mr. Fanservice: Let's see...
  • Setsuna is a cute, stoic boy in season 1. In the second season, he grows up to be quite Tall, Dark, and Handsome.
  • Lockon is a badass Nice Guy and Even the Guys Want Him.
  • Allelujah is a Tall, Dark, and Handsome quiet guy. His Split Personality, Hallelujah, is a Tall, Dark, and Snarky Ax-Crazy Blood Knight.
  • Tieria is an effeminate-looking guy with glasses. And then he crossdresses! WOW! Even The Girls and Guys Want Tieria!
• Shoulders of Doom: All of their Gundams have something attached to their respective shoulders.
• True Companions: Takes a very long time to get there, but it happens close to the end of the first season.
• Unskilled, but Strong: All of them except Lockon (the first one), who instead suffers from Crippling Overspecialization. The Gundams are all supremely powerful, with Tieria's Virtue having more thrust than a half-dozen cream-of-the-crop HRL mobile suits, but they're all piloted by temperamental and emotionally shattered young men who, while technically skilled, aren't exactly model soldiers. They grow out of this by Season 2 after having lost Veda's support and the Federation widely adapting and using their GN tech (and in Allelujah's case fighting without Hallelujah for most of the season).
• Would Hit a Girl: To them, gender means nothing in a fight.

Setsuna F. Seiei

"I am a Gundam."

Original Name: Soran Ibrahim
Affiliation: KPSA, Celestial Being
Role: Gundam Meister (Close quarters combat)
Pilots:

• GN-001 Gundam Exia
  • GN-001RE Gundam Exia Repair
  • GN-001REII Gundam Exia Repair II
• GN-0000 00 Gundam
  • GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser
• GNT-0000 00 Qan［T］
  • ELS Qan［T］
• CBNGN-003 Union Flag Celestial Being Version

The main character of the series. Formerly known as Soran Ibrahim, Setsuna is a kid soldier who was recruited in a movement to fight in the name of God, under the guidance of Ali Al-Saachez. As a requirement to do so, Setsuna is told to kill his parents and does so. During the ensuing battle, he was saved by a Gundam and after realizing that Ali is bad, he grows to resent him and war in general, and later on swore to become a Gundam: One who destroys conflict. He is later recruited by Celestial Being as a Gundam Meister and pilots Gundam Exia. In the 2nd season, he pilots the titular 00 Gundam.

Setsuna is also neighbors to Saji Crossroad, though his involvement with Celestial Beings strains their normal relationship. He is somehow close to the Azadistan princess Marina Ismail, whom he may consider as a mother or older sister figure. (She happens to look quite a bit like his Missing Mom, and has the same voice to boot.)

---

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: His Gundams all have these, particularly the 00 Raiser.
• Alliterative Name: Setsuna Seiei. If you don't include his middle initial.
• All-Loving Hero: As the series goes on, he becomes more and more dedicated to the idea of created peace through understanding as opposed to conflict. However, make no mistake; he fully understands that sometimes the only way to get to that point is through conflict, and isn't afraid to use that contradiction when necessary. In the movie, this is the exact reason he is reluctant to fight the ELS. Despite the threat they pose, Setsuna instantly realizes that logically extraterrestrial lifeforms so far divided from humanity would have little to no way to express their actual intentions (as opposed to other humans, since their actions.are at least translatable), and as such can't bring himself to fight an enemy he can't understand until towards the end of the film.
• Ascended Fanboy: He has loved the concept of a "Gundam" ever since he was a child... and now he's piloting one.
• The Atoner: For being a child soldier and for killing his parents.
• Awful Truth: Tells Billy what Sumeragi really does and where her allegiance lies at the beginning of the second season. Fortunately, it helps resolve Billy and Sumeragi’s issues in the end.
• Back-to-Back Badasses: With Saji, in the second season. Saji pilots the 0-Raiser and docks it with Setsuna's 00 Gundam to form the 00-Raiser, making this their default state in combat.
• Bash Brothers: Again with Saji in the 00 Raiser. Setsuna handles the fighting while Saji takes care of tuning the Raiser System.
• Berserk Button: Should you a) threaten the well being of his comrades/friends or b) happen to be Ali Al Saachez, he will be not be amused in the slightest, to put it nicely.
• BFS: Exia and 00's GN Swords, but more to the point: The Trans-Am Raiser.
• Bifurcated Weapon: The 00 Qan[T]'s six blade bits can combine with the GN Sword.
• Big Good: Effectively becomes this for the team, being the major reason why they’re still alive.
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Seems like the signature weapons of Setsuna's Gundams. These are katar-like BFS with switchblade-like mechanism that allows them to transform into Rifle Mode or vice-versa into Sword Mode (thus, also crosses with Mix-and-Match Weapon / Swiss-Army Weapon). Exia has GN Sword I at the start of the first season, while in the second season, 00 Raiser is equipped with the GN Sword III for the final battle. And though the original 00 Qan[T] isn't equipped with a switchblade-type GN Sword, in SD Gundam G-Generation Cross Rays, the ELS Qan[T] is given this type of weapon instead, which is also capable of using the Raiser Sword like the GN Sword III.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Okay, he has severe social problems and thinks he IS his Gundam, but that doesn't stop him from kicking ass.
• Catchphrase: "I AM GUNDAM!" and "Eliminating targets!"
• Celibate Hero: He develops a close relationship with Marina, but when asked if they are dating, they both matter-of-factly deny it. On the other hand, he has something with Feldt; when she gives Setsuna a flower, he implies that he's aware that she's trying to gauge his romantic availability, and he doesn't reject her possible interest. That said, two years later, in the movie, it's unclear if he's mostly oblivious to Feldt's interest or if he's choosing to ignore it in the moment.
• Character Development: Arguably one of the most drastically developed main characters in all of Gundam:
  • Season 1 Setsuna is the quintessential devout child soldier, only replacing religious reverence for worshipping the idea what a Gundam is supposed to be to the point of declaring himself one. His relationship with the rest of Celestial Being outside of Lockon and Lasse is strictly professional (and all but outright hostile when it comes to Tieria). His experiences throughout the course of events lead him to actively question his own world view, actually care about his comrades outside of the mission, and his desire to find answers for himself indirectly lead the rest of his fellow Meisters to reevaluate their own attitudes.
  • Season 2 Setsuna is far more mellowed out and matured, to the point where his infamous I am Gundam catchphrase isn't uttered once. Now the unquestioned leader of the Gundam Meisters, everyone trusts his judgement calls implicitly and Tieria, the Meister he once got along with the least, is his unofficial second in command and closest thing he has to a best friend. While he's still very much the stoic, he's far warmer and easier to interact with, if still incredibly blunt (even able to raise Lyle and Allelujah out of their respective funks), and willing and able to make hard decisions while accepting the possible consequences. He starts the season admitting that Celestial Being is responsible for the current state of the world and looks to fix the distortions their actions have caused, realizes he needs to change himself if he wants to to make an actual difference, and ends the series having come to terms with the weight of all his actions and far more compassionate towards not just the people around him, but the world as a whole.
• Chaste Hero: First season. He sneaks into Marina's bedroom at night and is unable to understand the implications.
• Child Soldiers: In a way, this is somewhat a Deconstruction of the typical Gundam protagonist. Here we have a person who's been "conscripted" by circumstance and forced to do horrific things from childhood... and we get to see the psychological damage that it's caused him. Most Gundam leads would fit the UN definition of a Child Soldier, but the shows usually gloss over the specific long-term effects of combat on children and teens; not here.
• Contemplate Our Navels: He does this quite a bit, especially early on.
• Cool Sword: All his Gundams have these.
• Dark and Troubled Past: He was indoctrinated into killing his parents by a psychopath. Said psychopath then sent most of his friends off on suicide bombing missions in foreign countries. When he was ten, he and the remaining survivors were then left to fend for themselves in a battle that killed every other member of the group besides him before he was rescued by Celestial Being. By the time he is introduced to the rest of the Gundam meisters at the age of 14, he is already sporting his usual thousand-yard stare.
• Dead Person Conversation: He speaks with the dead during two separate comas. In Season Two, he has a converastion with Neil, who encourages him to change. In the movie, Neil, Chris, and Lichy encourage him to wake up.
• Determinator: Even if the act won’t be liked, he will do anything to protect the world.
• Disappears into Light: He didn't die, but he got teleported to the ELS world in the end this way.
• Dual Wielding: Exia and 00 have this as an arsenal.
• 11th-Hour Superpower: The Trans-Am Burst which dramatically expands the range of the various abilities of his Gundam in Trans-Am Mode. And, for that matter, Trans-Am itself played something of a similar role in season 1. In the movie, he gets the 00 Quan[T]] for the final battle.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Gradually becomes an Innovator over the course of Season 2, thanks to exposure from the Twin Drive System.
• Evolutionary Levels: The 00's Twin GN Drive transforms him into an Innovator, the next stage of human evolution.
• Establishing Character Moment: The very first scene of the series shows him as a child on the battlefield fighting off giant mobile suits, while he angrily disdains God, even as his commander lauds God. He's then saved by a Gundam and looks upon it in awe. This establishes several things key to his character: he is a survivor, he is a Hollywood Atheist, and he in many ways looks upon the Gundams as Gods themselves.
• Expy: Of Sosuke Sagara. Both are former child soldiers of Middle Eastern descent that struggle to fit in with society and learn to do so thanks to their allies.
• Fanservice Pack: He was visibly short in season 1. But by season 2, he was able to catch up and becomes Tall, Dark, and Handsome.
• Foreshadowing: He tells Lyle ahead of time that he'll kill Anew when the time comes, if it comes, and Lyle can hate him for it if he wants to but Setsuna wont mind. Sure enough, he ends up having to kill her because of Ribbons' brainwashing, and Lyle does end up hating him, and nearly killing him, but Lyle ends up letting go of the irrational hatred of him as a result.
• Half-Human Hybrid: He became an Innovator/ELS hybrid in the end.
• Hates Being Touched: In regards to both himself and his Gundams.
• The Hero: He is the protagonist and is the most idealistic of the Meisters.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: Setsuna is the overall hero of the series and his Gundam's primary armaments are always bladed weapons .
• Hollywood Atheist: As a consequence of being forced to commit and witness unspeakable horrors as a "soldier of God."
• Hot-Blooded: He's generally very quiet off the battlefield, but when in combat, he shouts like the best of them.
• Hypocrite: For all his talk about distorted egos and such, he wasn't any different during season 1. He fortunately grows out of this.
• I Have Many Names: Formerly Soran Ibrahim. Don’t bring this up to him. Ever.
• Improbable Age: 16 in the first season, 21 in the second, but still entrusted to pilot one of the most powerful mobile suits in the world. Somewhat justified because of his back-story as a child soldier.
• It's Personal: He hates Ali for what he did to him. This will extends to Ribbons as well after Setsuna learns that his previously-unidentified "hero" from childhood is evil.
• Knight in Sour Armor: His letter to Marina at the end of the first season sums it up,
  Marina... Ismail... By the time you read this... I'll already be gone. Armed Interventions to put an end to war... I'm unable to do anything but fight for Celestial Being... You taught me what it means to fight. Back then, just like Gundam. I wanted to know.. Why our world is so terminally distorted? Where did this distortion come from? Why are there people who are unconsciously evil? Why do they not realize that their evil hurts others? Why is humanity an existence that only conflicts with itself? Why are there people to rule, and those who are ruled? Why do we wound each other? In spite of all this, why do people go on living like they do? I wanted to ask you. Please think of an answer, if we may meet again. That being the case, I will seek out the same thing on a different path than yours. Down the path towards mutual human understanding for the answer. I'll keep looking for it, together with my Gundam. Together with... My Gundam.
• Laser Blade: Exia has four beam sabers (2 regular beam sabers and 2 beam daggers) and 00 has two but with adjustable blade lengths. 00 and 00 Qan[T] can both create one titanic beam saber.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Both Exia and 00 have one, with 00's being two smaller ones that can combine into a bigger one. The 00 Qan[T] has a HUGE one with six blade bits attached to it for extra offense.
• Magnetic Hero: He gained quite a few allies throughout the course of the story, even dismissing his Ptolemios comrades.
• Maybe Ever After: With Feldt. While he's never shown reciprocating her feelings on-screen, she's the only one of Setsuna's love interests who he has a reasonably close relationship with, and it's abundantly clear that something happened between them both during the 2 years between Season 2 and the Movie, and during the battle with the ELS. Series director Seiji Mizushima has gone on-record saying that Setsuna's feelings regarding her are "an open-ended question mark".
• Meaningful Name: His codename is an anagram of "If I see a sunset", and in the first opening he is seen walking at sunset.
• Men Don't Cry: Averted when Lockon I/Neil died. He shed lots of Manly Tears.
• Mercy Kill: Kills Anew to save Lyle. Considering she went haywire because of Ribbons’ mind control, it’s essentially this.
• Mid-Season Upgrade: Several times per installment (though with some downgrades in-between):
  • Season 1: He starts out with the Exia, which gets some new swords after a few episodes, and gets the Trans-Am System a few episodes before the season finale.
  • Season 2: He initially uses the Exia Repair (which is actually barely repaired despite the name) and soon upgrades to the 00 Gundam, then upgrades again to the 00 Raiser about halfway through Season Two, and receives the GN Sword III for the final battle of the season, though he downgrades to the Exia Repair II (which is properly repaired and upgraded this time) for the very last duel.
  • The Movie: He starts out using a custom Flag, then he switches to the repaired 00 Raiser (though it is equipped with Large GN Condensers instead of GN Drives) and later gets the 00 Qan[T] for the final battle. The epilogue (which took place 50 years later) reveals that the Qan[T] fused with the ELS, gaining abilities similar to them and also a new form, such as having Power Gives You Wings.
• Mind Rape: When he first tries to use the 00 Raiser to make contact with the ELS, his experiences brain damage due to his brain being overloaded with information and goes into a coma where he suffers from horrific nightmares.
• Mistaken for Romance: No, he and Marina are not romantically involved, but people tend to assume otherwise anyway. When Mileina asks Setsuna and Marina if they are a couple, the scene is notable for having absolutely none of the expected embarrassment involved; both deliver an absolutely deadpan denial. He emphasized that again when Feldt gave him flowers and thought Marina might be mad about this.
• My Hero, Zero: Idolizes the GN-000 0 Gundam. In season 2, he pilots the titular GN-0000 00 Gundam, which can combine with the GNR-010 0 Raiser to form the GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser. In the movie, after the Raiser is put out of commission, he gets another new mech, the GNT-0000 00 Qan[T].
• Mysterious Middle Initial: What his middle initial of "F." stands for is never properly revealed, although supplemental materials reveal that it is short for "From," which gives his name a prophetic meaning.
• Mythology Gag: His birthday is April 7, 2291. In the real world, Mobile Suit Gundam was first broadcast on Japanese television on April 7, 1979. Relena Peacecraft/Darlian also shares the same birth date.
• Named After Somebody Famous: He is named after the main star of Turtles Can Fly, the first film to be made in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. The film is about war orphans.
• Not So Stoic: While Setsuna rarely shows emotions, he breaks down crying after Lockon dies.
• Oblivious to Love: Doesn’t seem to notice at first when girls such as Feldt or Nina are interested in him.
• Only a Flesh Wound: Averted. When he gets shot in the shoulder by Ali he becomes debilitated and eventually looses consciousness. That's because Ali shot him with a bullet laced with toxic red GN particles, making Setsuna's wound all the more festering and poisonous.
• Orbiting Particle Shield: The 00 Quan[T]'s blade bits can also function as such.
• Papa Wolf: Very much so in season 2. Sensing his comrades all on the brink of death pissed him off to the point that he unknowingly initiates the "Trans-AM burst mode", completely turning the tide of the battle.
• The Paragon: Seeks to become his ideal of a "Gundam", a being with the power to end all conflict and save everyone. He eventually succeeds.
• Platonic Life-Partners: Both him and Marina consider each other their most important person and they share a nearly spiritual connection, but they like to make clear they aren't romantically interested in each other.
• Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: To both Lockons. The first for his involvement in KPSA, the second for Sestuna killing Anew to save Lyle. Neither take him up on it.
• Prophetic Names: A Moment From The Holy Eternity. If you translate it to Japanese except the From , which you will remove the other three letters after F, you'll get Setsuna F Seiei. The Director says it represents the moments of revolutions in the long history of mankind, hinting at Setsuna being the true Innovator, the one who is going to bring revolution to mankind. If that is not enough, watch episode 24, where his mobile suit enables global telepathy, breaks the mind control powers of certain Innovators, and reverses the form of radiation poisoning that had been slowly killing several characters. While it was already clear that it could do all of these; it was not clear that it could do it on that scale.
• Reluctant Warrior: In the movie, Setsuna is reluctant to fight against the ELS because, due to their literal alien nature, he's not actually sure of their intentions or if the ELS are even aware if they're fighting. It takes Graham reminding him that fighting to gain understanding, despite the contradiction, is sometimes necessary, for him to choose to strike back.
• Save the Villain: Rescues Nena from getting killed by Ali despite having every reason to not save her. Years later he attempts to get Louise to not kill Nena, but ultimately fails as he was duelling Graham and therefore couldn’t stop them himself.
• Scarf Of Ass Kicking: Inverted. He wears one only in his civilian outfit, so he does most of his asskicking when he's not wearing it.
• Screaming Warrior: Screams with rage when he's fighting in intense battles.
• Self-Made Orphan: He murdered his family as part of initiation to the KPSA. Understandably, he has never gotten over it.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Saji and him are like this in season 2. Setsuna is calm and composed, while Saji is always worried about his safety and that of others.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: He's clearly traumatized by his experiences as a child soldier.
• Shipper on Deck: Saji/Louise fanboy in season 2, to the extreme of slashing off Andrei Smirnov's A-Head when he attempted to kill Saji.
• Shirtless Scene: He and H/Allelujah in the second ED.
• Shout-Out: His entire characterization has many references to Square Enix games, namely;
  • Kingdom Hearts: For his relationship with Saji.
  • Final Fantasy VII: For having Exia use the omni-slash against Throne Zwei.
  • Final Fantasy VIII: First for his rivalry with Graham that mirrors that of Squall Leonheart and Seifer Almassy's. Second with his Gundams using GN blades (GN is sometimes pronounced as "gun" in this series, you get the idea). Third with the 00 Raiser's Trans-Am Raiser being identical to Squall's Blasting Zone Limit Break.
  • His personality is also similar to typical Final Fantasy main leads, especially Cloud and Squall
• Skyward Scream: When the first Lockon dies.
• So Last Season: In the second season premiere, Setsuna learns the hard way that his Exia Repair is no match for Zinin's technologically superior Ahead.
• Spell My Name With An S: Is his last name Ibrahim, Ebrahim or Ybrahim?
• Stalker with a Crush: Subverted. He follows Marina around for quite a number of times in season one, but that's due to him being a socially-awkward Chaste Hero.
• The Stoic: Generally doesn't show much emotion.
• Storm of Blades: The 00 Qan[T] has six Sword Bits.
• Swiss-Army Weapon: The GN Sword on Exia, GN Sword III on the 00, and the GN Sword V on the 00 Qan[T].
• That Man Is Dead: If you mention the name Soran Ibrahim to Setsuna, chances are he'll be shocked. Very, very shocked.
• Throw Down the Bomblet: On foot, Setsuna is a pretty fair shot with a pistol, but he tends to do real damage with lobbed chunks of C4 that he always seems to keep close by, for anything larger or more resilient than your average human.
• Throwing Your Sword Always Works: A trademark skill of his, to the point where his aim with thrown weapons is arguably better than with beam weapons. He's so accurate with throwing his swords and GN beam sabers that he's capable of destroying GN-Fangs in flight just by throwing beam sabers and blades twice their size, and has used this tactic multiple times to down enemy MS. He once even managed to take out the Regnant by throwing a sword partially through its GN field, then shooting the rest to push it through.
• Thousand-Yard Stare: Kind of his default mode.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: The first part’s not too apparent in the first season. The second season onwards though makes all three parts true.
• Tyke-Bomb: He's a former child soldier who uses the skills he gathered to fight for Celestial Being.
• Where It All Began: He ends up destroying the 0 Gundam, the very Mobile Suit that saved him during the very first episode using his original mobile suit, the Exia Gundam. Also, before the said battle took place, he had the Exia descend to battle in the same manner during its debut.
• Would Hit a Girl: While it’s true for all the Meisters, it’s a bit more true for Setsuna. He shoves Nena after she gives him a Forceful Kiss and kills Anew Returner, which is arguably both Shoot the Dog and a Mercy Kill.

Lockon Stratos

"Targeted and firing!" ^note  Above: Neil, Below: Lyle

Original Name: Neil Dylandy (First), Lyle Dylandy (Second)
Affiliation: Celestial Being, Katharon (Second)
Role: Gundam Meister (Long range combat and suppression)
Pilots:

• GN-002 Gundam Dynames
  • GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair
• GN-006 Cherudim Gundam
  • GN-006GNHW/R Cherudim Gundam GNHW/R
• GN-010 Gundam Zabanya

The resident sniper of Celestial Being and the pilot of Gundam Dynames. Lockon acts like a big brother towards the rest of the Meisters, and is the most easygoing, accompanied with a Haro. He has a Dark and Troubled Past, as he was a survivor of a terrorist attack (initiated by the KPSA, the group Setsuna worked for at that). Lockon eventually got to know better and directed his anger towards Ali Al-Saachez. Unfortunately, while fighting Ali alone, Lockon was badly wounded and was eventually killed, but not after he shot down Ali's Throne Zwei, severely ruining the machine and putting him out of action for a good while.

Thus was the story of the Lockon known as Neil Dylandy.

In the second season, Neil's twin younger brother Lyle, a member of Katharon, took the name of Lockon Stratos and pilots Dynames' successor: the Gundam Cherudim. He's just as skilled as his predecessor, but at first he tends to act as if he knows nothing about piloting (though later, he shows a more intense and emotional side).

Tropes associated with both Lockons.

• Badass Normal: Lockon's teammates are two Tyke Bombs (a Child Soldier and a Super-Soldier to be specific) and an Artificial Human. He always manages to hold his own. By the second half of Season 2, Setsuna starts to awaken to his Innovator powers, leaving Lyle as The Team Normal.
• BFG: The sniper rifles mounted on their Gundams. Dynames in particular has its Super Substratospheric Altitude Gun.
• Catchphrase: "Targeted and firing!"
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Of course the Irish guy would have a green Gundam.
• Cynicism Catalyst: The deaths of their family at the hands of terrorists. Although Neil keeps his rage and angst to a minimum, it's still there. He subverts the standard of becoming an Anti-Hero, and instead fills the gaps with Celestial Being's members. Lyle, on the other hand, moved on with his life after the incident.
• Determinators: Both of them are able to pull impressive showings while either injured or using battered Gundams during their respective battles in each season's finale.
• Divergent Character Evolution: Zig-zagged. Lyle goes out of his way to distinguish himself from Neil in the early parts of S2. He ends up dedicating himself to Celestial Being like Neil, but rejects the thirst for revenge that drove his brother.
• Expy: His personality is suspiciously similar to Duo Maxwell's.
• Fighting Irish: While lacking any accent both brothers are Irish, as shown with the Dylandy Family's grave being that of an Irish style Celtic cross.
• Friendly Sniper: Both of them are very cheerful, although some of Lyle's behavior can be obnoxious.
• Guns Akimbo: Lockon II, who normally dual-wields beam pistols. Dynames likewise had and occasionally used twin pistols, but Lockon I tended to favor the sniper rifle. One at least one occasion though, he did go Guns Akimbo with one of the pistols in one hand and said rifle in the other.
• The Gunslinger: The primary style of fighting between the two, given their Gundams' specialty of long-distance combat.
• Legacy Character: The codename Lockon Stratos belongs not to the man, but to the sniper.
• Macross Missile Massacre: All the Lockons' Gundams are capable of missile barrages.
• Meaningful Name: In reference to their aiming and firearms expertise.
• One Degree of Separation: With Setsuna. Their Family was killed in a Suicide Attack launched by Ali Al Saachez; who led a unit of Child Soldiers that included a young Setsuna. Later on, it was revealed that Setsuna himself was close with the suicide bomber and tried to talk him out of going on that mission in Ireland.
• Revenge: Neil's biggest motivation. Lyle subverts this as he rejects this. He does consider shooting Setsuna to avenge Anew (after beating the daylights out of him), but doesn't. And when he faces Ali he gives him a Last-Second Chance—which Ali promptly squanders, so Lyle shoots him anyhow.
• Same Character, But Different: Played after the original Lockon (Neil) is killed in action, Lyle filled his role as Lockon Stratos in season 2. Both of them are laid-back and specialize as the Long-Range Fighter. But unlike Neil, Lyle didn't fill Neil's role as the team leader of Gundam Meisters since Setsuna takes over his position. Lyle fights both long and short-range while Neil is mostly a Long-Range Fighter. In short, both of them are Lockon Stratos but with different mannerisms.
• Significant Double Casting: Both Neil and Lyle share the same Japanese and English voice actors.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Neil is confident and vengeful, while Lyle has an inferiority complex but is much more willing to forgive. The difference is significant enough that their names tell it; Neil means cloud, while Lyle means Island.
• Sniper Rifle: A staple for the Gundams of Lockon Stratos. Neil himself uses a regular sniper rifle at one point.
• Take Up My Sword: Or Take Up My Sniper Rifle. After Neil dies, Setsuna recruits Lyle into Celestial Being to pilot Dynames's successor Gundam.
• Uncanny Family Resemblance: Justified since they are twins. As the results, when Setsuna recruit Lyle to be the next Lockon Stratos, most of Ptolemios crew, the Meisters, even Haro, mistake him for Neil.

Neil Dylandy

• Ace Pilot: Nearly a decade older than the other two human Gundam Meisters and highly capable with both a sniper rifle and beam saber. He matches up solidly against Graham Acker even after being ambushed in close quarters, and has the upper hand over Ali Al-Saachez until the Dynames is heavily damaged by a suicide attack from another mobile suit.
• Always Someone Better: Lyle has an inferiority complex towards him.
• Ambiguously Gay: Unlike Lyle, there is no indication of Neil having any romantic interest in the female crew members. His interaction with Feldt is more platonic due to their age gap. Neil is also not distracted by Sumeragi's sexy swimsuit, and is slightly annoyed with Lichty teasing him about dating a girl during his day off. However, unlike when he is with Setsuna, where Neil is more like a big brother figure to him, Neil's interaction with Tieria is slightly more than platonic especially when he helps Tieria to defrost his stoicism and accept his own flaws.
• Berserk Button: He's normally very calm, but he goes ballistic when he confronts terrorism. Pointing out that Celestial Being's actions are debatably terrorism tends to make him lose it even more.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Neil is the nice, easy-going and open-minded one. But he is not soft and will never show any mercy to anybody who harms the innocent.

  Neil in Ep.8: I'm not holding back. I'm not giving you any mercy!/Sorry, but today don't expect any mercy from me.

  Neil in Ep.13: I was afraid I might be a little rusty. . . but I guess not.

• Big Brother Mentor: Serves as kind of an older brother figure for the Meisters. Towards Setsuna especially, as well as Feldt.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: He rather seems to be addressing the audience with his last words: "Hey, are you all satisfied with this kind of world? I... hate it."
• Broken Ace: A milder case. Yes, he is a great and respected team leader to his comrades, but deep inside, he's a guy with huge, unresolved vengeance issues.
• Celibate Hero: Neil has a close relationship with all the Celestial Being crew. However, unlike Lyle, it's never shown if Neil has ever had a romantic relationship with or shown any romantic interest in anyone. To be fair, Neil is very focused on his duty as a Meister, getting revenge and changing the future into something better for his sole family member.
• Dead Person Conversation: Manages to tell Tieria to calm down when he's struggling with inner turmoil. He would later do this to Setsuna as well, telling him the past can never be changed.
• Death by Disfigurement: If he didn't have that blind spot, he probably would have fared better against Ali and might not have had to sacrifice himself to win.
• Dying Alone: Dies by himself, drifting in space before the GN Arms to explode.
• Expy: Greatly resembles Duo from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing in personality.
• Even the Guys Want Him: It's implied that Tieria has a crush on him.
• Eye Scream: He loses an eye courtesy of Patrick.
• Eyepatch of Power: He could regenerate his eye, but he elects for the patch because he feels his comrades need him now and regeneration would prevent him from fighting for weeks. He wears it until the end of his life.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: Has this when he engages in battle with Ali Al-Saachez. It's a sign that his physical condition is worsening due to his previous wound not being fully healed and the massive stress of being overwhelmed by his thirst for revenge and anger.
• Finger Gun: He loves doing this, even when he's dying.
• Good Counterpart: Neil was the Good Counterpart of Louise Halevy. Both of them are pilots who seek revenge for the deaths of their families, who were killed by terrorists, which becomes their motivation to fight. Neil joins Celestial Being, a heroic organization which has bad international publicity. Besides that, he still wants to help the citizens, change the future to be better, and is caring toward his comrades, proving that he is a selfless and kind guy. Louise is a moody, broken, apathetic and delusional girl who joins A-Laws and the allies of Innovator. She doesn't care about saving the citizens due to her focus on revenge and killing for peace. She also doesn't mind A-Laws and Innovators extremist sides as long as they can create true peace. Most importantly, Neil is never a villain's pawn and no one exploits his grief to manipulate him like what happened to Louise. Neil also regrets being a revenge-obsessed guy who is unable to move on from the tragedy and fails to change the future. Louise falls into sadness and insanity after feeling how empty revenge is, causing her heart to be completely closed by Ribbons' influence, before she is able to be saved by Saji and Setsuna and redeemed.
• Grasp the Sun: Right before he dies, he grasps the Earth, then flicks his finger to where Japan where the original viewers are; see Breaking the Fourth Wall above.
• Handicapped Badass: He refuses full treatment for his eye due to the dire situation, but losing depth perception and gaining a blind spot is not good for a sniper.
• The Heart: A male example. Celestial Being is a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits at best, but he plays a major part in their being an effective team. In his absence, they fell apart for almost four years.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He took the slash meant for Tieria, although it isn't fatal. Althought, the subsequent injury he gets does end up majorly contributing to his later death.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: "I'm the man who can shoot beyond the stratosphere."
• Hypocrite: All of Celestial Being is this, but Neil especially for when he admits that what he's doing is nothing further than continuing the Cycle of Revenge that destroyed his life. And while, he's ready to accept the consequences of his actions after the world changes, the hypocrisy is that the very nature of the cycle ensures that actions like Celestial Being will never ultimately succeed due to others seeking revenge on them for their actions and Celestial Being throwing further fuel on the fire by using violent intervention to force the world to submit to their aesthetics.
• Knight in Sour Armor: His last words blatantly reflect his contempt for the world.
• My Life Flashed Before My Eyes: Reminisces about his childhood moments and how he came to be before his death.
• Nice Guy: It takes a special brand of kindness to defrost Tieria.
• Nice Guys Finish Last: Averted, at least where Feldt and Tieria are concerned.
• Our Hero Is Dead: He’s not the protagonist, but he’s the cause of Tieria's and Setsuna's Heroic BSoD. Both do get better, but it’s clear they miss him.
• Pretty in Mink: His vest has fur in its collar. He's also sporting a Squall-like bomber jacket in the very first ED.
• Really Dead Montage: Has one a little before his death.
• Revenge Before Reason: Decides to go after Ali despite still recovering from his eye injury and his Gundam not being fully repaired, leading to his death.
• Spirit Advisor: Occasionally appears a ghost before the rest of Celestial Being in Season 2.
• Still Got It: When he uses a regular sniper rifle to take out some terrorists he says that he thought he had gotten rusty.
• Stupid Sacrifice: Sure, he puts Ali out of commission for a while, but it ultimately killed him, thus costing Celestial being a pilot for the season 1 final battle.
• Supporting Leader: While Setsuna’s the protagonist, it’s Neil who leads the group at least before his death.
• Sword and Gun: Engages in this in his final battle against Ali Al-Sacheez with a beam saber and his sniper rifle!
• Taking the Bullet: He shields Tieria from Patrick's attack at the cost of his right eye.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He’s one of the tallest of the groups and is very pretty.
• Unknown Rival: He hates Ali for killing his family, but to Ali, Neil's family is just one of his many victims.
• Worf Had the Flu: Neil refuses to heal his wounded eye, giving him a rather massive blind spot. When Ali figures this out, he attacks Dynames's blind spot, disabling Dynames and forcing Lockon to make a Heroic Sacrifice to win.

Lyle Dylandy

• Ace Pilot: He takes a little bit to adjust to a Gundam at first, but swiftly becomes one of the greatest pilots in the series, and arguably the greatest by the end of Season Two and the movie. He defeats several Innovades and Ali Al-Saachez with the Simple But Awesome Cherudim in the Final Battle, including annihilating Revive Revival with half of his Gundam destroyed. In the movie, he goes to town on the ELS, coming out of the Grand Finale with barely a scratch besides a few destroyed drones and sidearm weaponry.
• Angsty Surviving Twin: Averted. While Lyle was far from happy about Neil's death, he isn't particularly grief-stricken about it either.
• Backup Twin: Deconstructed. Lyle goes way out of his way to ensure that those around him don't try to compare him to Neil. Things worked out well, fortunately.
• Beam Spam: Lyle occasionally pulls this off with Cherudim and its shield bits but once he gets the Zabanaya, he goes so hard with this using double the previous amount of gun drones, to the point where it puts the Strike Freedom to shame. The ELSes and their Zerg Rush tactics practically lets Lyle fire without needing to target.
• Becoming the Mask: In the finale, he finally embraces his identity as a Gundam Meister.
• Break the Cutie: He's utterly broken for a good bit following Anew's death.
• Chekhov's Gunman: He's first seen visiting the Dylandy family grave in Season One, but he dosen't become a main character until Season Two.
• Codename: Lockon Stratos for Celestial Being. Gene-1 for Kataron.
• Dating Catwoman: He starts dating Anew behind the crew's back in the four months aftermath of the Orbital Elevator catastrophe and the two of them are even shown sleeping in the same bed and making love in Lyle's room. This turns extremely tragic when he announces his love to her in front of the crew before a mission for good luck, only for her to betray them as part of the Innovades, only to pull a Heel–Face Turn when he defeats her and offers her to come back with them. Just as she's about to leap into Lyle's arms, Ribbons overrides her personality to try and kill them both, with Setsuna shooting her down to save him and the GN Burst gives them a brief moment to reconcile before she dies.
• Double Agent: For Katharon; subverted in that his CB comrades know he's a double agent and don't care. If anything, his role as Double Agent mostly meant that Katharon had a man in a group that they knew had stronger guns than they did, and was pretty much CB's unspoken ally; at no point were CB and Katharon openly at odds with each other. It especially helps in the final portion of the series.
• Expy: He’s rather similar to Kurz Weber. They’re both the Badass Normal of their group and are rather easy-going with a bit of Casanova tendencies. To hammer it down even further, both are voiced by Shin-ichiro Miki.
• Freudian Excuse: His behaviour early on clearly stemmed from a childhood of neglect.
• Gun Kata: In contrast to Neil's sniping, this is Lyle's signature style. And he thoroughly outshines his brother in this regard.
• Handsome Lech: Invoked when he sexually harasses Feldt by kissing her so she'll stop using him as the stand-in for her crush on Neil when they're the same only in looks. Otherwise, he's a genuinely charming guy, especially towards Anew.
• Heartbroken Badass: After Anew's death.
• I Choose to Stay: After their final victory in Season 2, Lyle decides to remain with Celestial Being as a full-time Gundam Meister rather than return to civilian life.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a good man, but he can be quite a jerk. This is partially invoked as Lyle doesn't want to be seen as a replacement for his brother. Once the rest of the team gets the hint, he drops most of it.
• Large Ham:
  • Sometimes invoked with the Catchphrase...
    Lyle: Just like the name says: TARGETED AND FIRING!
  • Big time invoked in the Movie when he reverses his catchphrase while yelling at the top of his lungs, unloading his entire Trans-Am arsenal on the ELS.
    Lyle: TIME TO FIRE WITHOUT TARGETING!
• Legacy Character: He inherits the name of Lockon Stratos from his brother.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: He purposely present himself as seemingly less capable than he actually is (so as to not be expected to be a total replacement for Neil). However, after seeing how ruthless the A-LAWS truly were and watching his Katharon comrades be brutally slaughtered, Lyle drops the pretenses and goes full "serious mode" for the rest of the season.
• Love Confession: After being together for a while, Lyle calls up Anew on the comms to say "I love you" out loud in front of the crew, to her embarrassment and the crew's pleasant surprise. It's implied that part of the reason for this is that he was starting to suspect that Anew was an Innovator and hoped that the relationship that has blossomed between them could convince her to turn heel.
  Lasse: Oh he is targeted and firing, alright!
• Men Don't Cry: Averted when Anew died. He shed lots of Manly Tears and has a major Freak Out, beating down Setsuna for killing her, and nearly shoots him in the back the next day.
• Middle Child Syndrome: He fits this well, considering that Neil was the older twin and they had a dead little sister.
• Moral Myopia: Narrowly averted. When Setsuna revealed that he was a part of the terrorist organization that killed his sister and parents, Lyle didn't hold this against him and rationalized that his family was simply one of many that were lost that day. After Setsuna killed Anew to save him, Lyle barely stopped himself from shooting Setsuna in the back, finally understanding the anguish his brother felt when their family was killed.
• Nonchalant Dodge: Done in the Grand Finale against Revive Revival, defeating him with a completely wrecked Cherudim by leading Revive's final attack close enough to dodge it point-blank with a 1-second Trans-Am before mag-dumping his beam sidearm through Revive's cockpit. He got his revenge for Anew against the real perpetrator of her death in the process, and boy was it sweet.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Several scenes imply he was well aware that Anew was an Innovator but neglected to tell her or anyone else because he wanted to maintain their relationship despite the risks. 4 months for 2312 all but spells it out.
  • Although that neglect could be an Idiot Ball of its own, since there was already one other Innovade on the crew who could maybe help separate Anew from the hivemind.
• Pistol-Whipping: Cherudim's pistols have sharpened anti-beam coatings beneath the barrels, granting them limited melee combat potential and capable of parrying other close combat weapons.
• Revenge Before Reason: Narrowly averted. After coming to apologize to Setsuna for beating him blue and yellow in front of the crew for killing Anew to save him, Lyle audibly pulls a gun on Setsuna as he goes to leave in a childish attempt to avenge Anew. Setsuna's reaction to just keep walking and giving Lyle the option to shoot him in the back, just like he did when Neil found out he was KPSA, ends up making Lyle back down, realizing he'd be fixing nothing and destroying all of Celestial Being's plans.
• Shipper on Deck: In the movie, he gets annoyed when Setsuna shows no interest in getting together with either Marina or Feldt.
• Smoking Is Cool: Is shown smoking a few times.
• Sole Survivor: After the death of Neil, Lyle is the last member alive of his family. And he will be until his death, as he has no intention of finding a Second Love.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: With Anew. He's a Gundam Meister of Celestial Being and she's a Innovade deep cover operative. Their romance ends with her tragic death when Ribbons brainwashes her and Setsuna has to put her down.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Deconstructed. He looks exactly like his twin and has a similar fighting style, but their personalities are different and Lyle is not at all happy about being brought in to Celestial Being to replace him.
• Swiss-Army Gun: The Cherudim and Zabanya's handguns have a built in axe for short-range combat. Cherudim's sniper rifle can fold down its barrel to reveal two additional ones for rapid-firing.
• The Team Normal: By the later half of Season 2, all of the other Meisters are enhanced humans of some variety. Lyle is just really good at targeting and firing.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: More than the original Lockon, who was more of a Nice Guy with a tattered past. Anew even acknowledges this as one of the things that made her fall head over heels for him.
• Took a Level in Kindness: After he decides to take his responsibilities seriously, he's far more affable.
• The Unfavorite: Neil was the favorite son of the Dylandy family. He’s understandably a little bitter about it.

Allelujah Haptism

Original Name: E-057
Affiliation: Super Human Research Institute, Celestial Being
Role: Gundam Meister (Hit-and-Run tactics)
Pilots:

• GN-003 Gundam Kyrios
• GN-007 Arios Gundam
  • GN-007GNHW/M Arios Gundam GNHW/M
• GN-011 Gundam Harute

The third of the Gundam Meisters, pilot of Gundam Kyrios, and later Arios. Allelujah is a product of a Super-Soldier program, but a failed one. He has another personality named "Hallelujah". While Allelujah is calm and amiable, Hallelujah is a sociopathic person who laughs in the face of deaths... of many of his enemies. In the events of the series, however, Allelujah lost Hallelujah and was forced to continue on his own. He seems to be acquainted towards Soma Peries, another product of that said program.

Voiced by Hiroyuki Yoshino (Japanese, adult), Masako Jo (Japanese, young) and Richard Ian Cox (English)

---

• All-Loving Hero: Downplayed. As himself, Allelujah is compassionate, cares about everyone's future and is not fond of violence. He still thinks he can help the other experimental children from the HRL Superhuman Institute by getting them therapy and giving them a normal life instead of performing a Mercy Kill to end their suffering. His other persona, Hallelujah, unfortunately hates this mindset and believes it will make them weaker and easier to kill by their enemies.
• Alliterative Name: Hallelujah Haptism.
• Ambiguously Evil: Hallelujah is insane, sadistic and unstable, but he is still a Split Personality of a scared Misfit Lab Rat who conjured this personality of his own volition to cope with what he had to do to survive the Super Soldier program and the disastrous escape where his confession of a lack of supplies implies that he had to eat his friends to live until the space shuttle was discovered. He's always amused to see people suffering and like to finish his enemies in brutal ways, but he does all this because he wants Allelujah to stay alive.
  • He also considers himself one of the team so to speak. Regardless of his opinion on their mission Hallelujah plays nice with the other Meisters if he's active when they're around and he's eager to go back up Setsuna in the finale battle. He's notably the only other pilot to attempt to cover Setsuna by taking a shot at Ribbons. He gets trashed quickly as a result but he tried at least.
• Ax-Crazy: Compared to All-Loving Hero Stoic and Nice Guy Allelujah, Hallelujah is very unstable, brutal and violent. Allelujah is disturbed by how he takes down his enemies while mocking them in brutal fashion.
• Battle Couple: With his girlfriend Soma/Marie, in the second season. When she returns to action in the GN Archer, she docks it with the Arios Gundam and forms the Arios Archer. In the movie, the two of them co-pilot Gundam Harute.
• The Big Guy: Allelujah in season 1. Hallelujah on the other hand fights more like The Brute due to being the Token Evil Teammate.
• Badass in Distress: He was captured and placed in a high security prison, where he was completely isolated, bound in a chair and straitjacket and muzzled for over 4 years due to Celestial Being unable to find him. Thanks to Wang Liu Mei and Nena Trinity’s information, he is finally freed by the other Meisters.
• Barefoot Captives: Downplayed. His feet still covered by straitjacket cloth. But still count since he didn't wear any footwear during imprisoned.
• Blood Knight: Hallelujah clearly enjoys fighting and killing, to the point it amuses him and makes him laugh.
• Bound and Gagged: Spends during his imprisoned like this.
• Brought Down to Normal: Allelujah receives a head injury courtesy by Soma Peries, which resulted in him losing his quantum brainwaves and his other personality Hallelujah. This is also affects his skills, which decreased into average level. Downplayed to a degree, as he still possessed his superhuman physiology which likely contributed to being able to be restrained in a straitjacket for 5 years and endure untold amounts of torture by the A-Laws and still be in relatively good health (and go to immediately pilot his new Gundam) upon being rescued. Exposure to the 00's Twin GN Drive fixes this and restores Hallelujah.
• Bystander Syndrome: Allelujah fell victim to this in Season 1. When Soma was nearby, he collapsed on the ground with severe pain in his head. People around didn't bother to help him and just continued walking.
• Child Soldiers: He was raised by a program that experimented on children to create Tykebombs, although he escaped after learning that he was going to be executed as a failure.
• Childhood Friend Romance: With Marie.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: As stated in the epilogue novel version of season 1, Allelujah was treated inhumanely and was tortured by the A-Laws when he spend 4 years being imprisoned by them.
• Combat Pragmatist: Hallelujah will do just about anything to win, a notable example being him smacking Hilling's Garazzo around using his beam rifle as a club.
• Creepy Good: Hallelujah is a psycho that'll do anything to stay alive and enjoys killing people, but he has no problems with fighting to fulfill Allelujah's dream of a world without conflict.
• Dark and Troubled Past: He was raised from infancy in a lab to be a super soldier. He and several other children escaped, but Hallelujah was forced to kill the others to prevent Allelujah from dying from lack of food or oxygen.
• Demoted to Extra: He got shafted in terms of facetime for the latter part of Season One. He got some spotlight in Season Two due to his and Soma's subplot, but faded into the background again once that was resolved.
• Destructive Savior: The Meisters all inflict massive collateral damage, but Hallelujah stands apart from actually enjoying it.
• Dogged Nice Guy: Bordering on Stalker with a Crush levels towards Soma/Marie, particularly in S2 until her dormant personality emerges thanks to him yelling "Marie" at her about three dozen times. After that they're on better terms, but he's still overprotective to the point of irritating her at times.
• Duality Motif: Allelujah has a gray eye and a gold one. His hair always obscures one of the two, cluing any viewers into whether it is he or his evil Split Personality Hallelujah that is currently in control. In the end, he ends up pulling his hair back to reveal both eyes, allowing both personalities to simultaneously control his body, giving him the reflexes of two people.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: In spite of a gruesome childhood, insane split personality, losing his friends, and being separated from them for five years, Allelujah manages to win the love of his Childhood Friend and continues to be with her even after the end of the second season and is the only one of the Meisters who stays in a happy relationship.
• Evil Is Hammy: Hallelujah is much louder than Allelujah.
• Evil Laugh: Hallelujah loves laughing as he slaughters people.
• Evil Me Scares Me: Allelujah's relationship with Hallelujah is not an easy one.
• Exhausted Eye Bags: He has this after spending 4 years imprisoned by the Federation. This is probably a sign of his poor health, too much crying or lack of sleep.
• First Guy Wins: He is the very first boy that Marie knew personally and befriended. And they end up together.
• Flechette Storm: Harute's scissor bits.
• Forgotten Friend, New Foe: Marie being unable to remember him and their first meeting of their childhood due to the side effects of the HRL scientists implanting the Soma Peries personality within her, resulting in both of them becoming each other's enemies. Until in Episode 7 of Season 2, where she finally remembers him after regaining her original personality and defects to Celestial Being to be with him.
• Gentle Giant: He's quite a bit taller than his fellow Meisters in season 1, but is both shy and very affable. Hallelujah... is not so gentle.
• Gollum Made Me Do It: Subverted, Hallelujah attempts to take over Allelujah to destroy the HRL supersoldier research facility, which is filled with children being experimented on, but Allelujah ultimately manages to do the deed himself.
• Heroic BSoD: Has a pretty bad one after Hallelujah kills Adjutant Ming.
• He's Back!: Hallelujah is officially back as of episode 24 of season 2.
  Hallelujah: *Laughing* The Super-Soldier is back!
• Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Always keeps one eye covered with his bangs. Normally, the gray eye is left uncovered, but if the gold eye is uncovered, his enemies best beware.
• I Am Not Left-Handed: Allelujah/Hallelujah can, in fact, become both of them at once the moment, giving them the reflexes and thought process of two seperate personalities when he pushes his hair back, making it conceal neither eye and putting his heterochromatic eyes on display. When he does, every ass in the vicinity is kicked.
  "You're just acting out on instinct like an animal, that's why I can read you like an open book. Reflex and thought must be one... This synthesis is the mark of a true Super-Soldier!"
• I'm a Humanitarian: Implied, but he wouldn't be above it. When stranded in space as a child and running out of food and oxygen, Hallelujah shoots his friends, blood dripping down his face and front. Goes into No Party Like a Donner Party on Allelujah's part, given the circumstances, but for Hallelujah...
• I Need a Freaking Drink: After the mission at the super solider facility, he takes advantage of his turning 20 and thus being legally able to drink alcohol to ask Sumeragi for a drink. He doesn't enjoy it much. He does this again with Sumeragi in Season 2 after he's rescued from detention.
• Jekyll & Hyde: Allelujah is mild-mannered and compassionate, while Hallelujah is bloodthirsty and brutal.
• Jerkass Has a Point: While Hallelujah convincing Allelujah to destroy the HRL Superhuman Institute and kill all the experimental children is cruel, he has a good point. Even if the Institute gets closed, the children would still end up as living weapons for any faction due to their status as young Super Soldiers and the children would not mind since they have already been brainwashed by the scientists to be living weapons. In the end, they are trapped in war and killed senselessly. Performing a Mercy Kill is the only way to set the experimental children free from military control.
• The Lancer: He and Setsuna have the most parallelism. Both were Child Soldiers / Tykebombs, both have Quantum brainwaves, both their Gundams are equipped with Swiss Army Weapons, and most importantly, he is Setsuna's longest companion.
• Le Parkour: Does this when he and Marie are being pursued by ELS-infected vehicles.
• Lightning Bruiser: His Gundams are all hard-hitting speedsters. As Doublelujah, he can have the strength and reflex of two people.
• Men Don't Cry: Averted when Lockon I/Neil died. Prior, he also has a massive breakdown when Hallelujah kills Ming.
• Never Given a Name: Allelujah has no memories of his real name and his past before being picked by HRL Super human institute. His current name was named by Marie when he still at institute, and "Haptism" was additional name come from Sumeragi's suggestion.
• Nice Guy: Second to Neil, he was nothing short of polite and never hesitated to lend a hand.
• Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: He received a head injury, was bounded and tortured for over four years, but is physically no worse for ware than eye-bags. Make a good sense since he was a super soldier, he still have good physical condition besides he loses his Quantum Brainwaves.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Whenever Hallelujah emerges, notable examples include episode 10 (poor Adjutant Ming...), and in the finale where he tears Hilling Care a new asshole.
• Official Couple: After Marie's personality re-emerges from Soma, Allelujah and Marie get together. While their relationship has hit some rough ground when she returns to being Soma after Sergei's death, they ultimately get back together after the final battle.
• Out of Focus: While he's prominent, he's the Meister with the least amount of focus, taking a major backseat in the last portion of Season 1 and a lot of Season 2. In fact, he never meets Ali, nor is he a big part of Allelujah's childhood, like Setsuna's and Lockon's.
• Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: To Sergei. Allelujah was willing to die by the former's hand if he can offer Marie/Soma a normal life and put her away from the battlefield. Sergei doesn't kill him, says that he will declares Soma's death to his superiors and allows her to go to her new life.
• Put the "Laughter" in "Slaughter": Hallelujah laughing as he kills people.
• The Quiet One: Allelujah is the calmest and least verbose of the Gundam Meisters. Hallelujah less so.
• Real Name as an Alias: He's one of the few members of Celestial Being who is confirmed not to be using a code name. Marie named him "Allelujah", and he uses that name in lieu of a code name, since the name can't be used to uncover his past. His last name seems to be given by Celestial Being since Marie didn't gave him a last name.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Hallelujah does this to his opponents, specially if he's about to kill them. He and Allelujah actually do this together when killing Hiling.
• Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Duh! His name rhymes with Hallelujah Baptism and, Superpowered Evil Side aside, is the most compassionate of the Gundam Meisters. Marie named him after a blessing from the Bible.
• Reluctant Warrior: Not as pronounced as most examples, but he definitely has a thing against killing people, especially if they can't really fight back. He expresses some self-disgust when having to bomb a base and expresses relief when he gets to bomb a crop field. Since Hallelujah is a total psychopath, he has a few moments arguing with himself.
• Say My Name: Marie. Marie. Marie. Marie. Apparently saying it enough can break years of personality suppression and conditioning.
• Secretly Selfish: A core character flaw of Allelujah is that he has a bad habit of forcing his own ideals and feeling onto others and then trying to control those around him while coating his words as altruism, all in an effort of self comfort. This is something both Hallelujah and Lyle call him out on.
  Hallelujah: Misery? Misery you say. Those kids in the lab don't think of themselves as miserable.
  Allelujah: But they'll feel that way eventually.
  Hallelujah: Well do you think that girl flying the Tieren feels like she has a miserable life? That's not the case is it. Don't push your own feelings onto others. No matter what pretty words you string together, your kindness is just hypocrisy. You're just pretending to be nice to make yourself feel better.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Allelujah and Hallelujah can be seen as the two in one body. Allelujah is a sensitive person while Hallelujah is a sociopathic tough guy. Likewise, his/their girlfriend/s Soma/Marie can also be seen as a two in one body for this trope's female counterpart.
• Shear Menace: Allelujah's Gundams all feature some kind of scissor/pincer-like weapon.
• Shirtless Scene: He and Setsuna in the second ED.
• Sink the Lifeboats: Allelujah rips out Hilings' Core Fighter from her Garazzaro in the final episode; preventing her from ejecting when he cuts her Mobile Suit in half.
• Sociopathic Hero: Allelujah self was an All-Loving Hero. He was considered as this thanks to his Hallelujah persona.
• Split Personality: Hallelujah, a murderous split personality that emerges when Allelujah is in danger or is in a situation that requires him to do something horrible.
• Split-Personality Merge: Allelujah and Hallelujah are capable of temporarily merging their personalities, giving them the reflexes of two super soldiers.
• Stronger Than They Look: As a failed subject at the Super Human Research Institute, Soma and the HRL Scientist believe Allelujah is a flawed super soldier due to his Hallelujah persona. However, besides being a super Nice Guy and having a sociopathic-Blood Knight Hallelujah persona, Allelujah is still able to be a strong and agile Gundam Pilot and Super-Soldier.
• Superpowered Evil Side: The bloodthirsty Hallelujah seems to be the more skilled pilot of the two personalities.
• Super-Soldier: He was created to serve as a Super Soldier (more enhanced than created) from the HRL, although he fell short of his creators' expectations and fled before he could be executed for having a murderous other personality.
• Survivor Guilt: Allelujah escaped the Super Soldier facility with several other Super Soldier children, but they ran short on food and oxygen and Hallelujah had to murder the other children so Allelujah could survive. Allelujah is still traumatized by it years later.
• Swiss-Army Weapon: The Kyrios is equipped with a a shield that can also function as a pincer with a retractable heat blade in the center.
• Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Allelujah stands 6'2, has dark hair and complexion and is undeniably good-looking.
• Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Hallelujah stands 6'2, an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight Token Evil Teammate.And also has dark hair and complexion and is also undeniably good-looking.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Hallelujah is extremely fond of doing this to his opponents.
• Token Evil Teammate: Hallelujah, the only Gundam Meister to have no interest in creating a peaceful world.
• Transforming Mecha: His Gundams can transform into a plane-like form for mobility.
• True Love's Kiss: With Marie once they hook up.
• Tyke-Bomb: He was raised from childhood to be a soldier.
• Walking the Earth: At the end of the second season, he and Marie left Celestial Being and wander the earth in order to find the meaning behind their existence.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?: His name, his eyes and his Gundam. It’s all religious. Justified given the circumstances of his childhood.
• The Worf Effect: Allelujah in the second season. Seriously, except for his battle against Revive Revival, he just can't win tough battles on his own. It takes Hallelujah re-emerging to beat the shit out of his opponents.)

Tieria Erde

Original Name: Base Sequence Pattern 0988
Affiliation: Celestial Being
Role: Gundam Meister (Artillery and support)
Pilots:

• GN-005 Gundam Virtue
  • GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh
• GN-008 Seravee Gundam
  • GN-009 Seraphim Gundam
  • GN-008GNHW/B Seravee Gundam GNHW/B
• CB-002 Raphael Gundam
  • GN-008RE Seravee Gundam II

The fourth of the Meisters, piloting Gundam Virtue (and Nadleeh) and later Seravee (and Seraphim). Tieria is known to be able to establish a direct connection to Veda, Celestial Being's supercomputer, and acts aloof and bemeaning towards the rest of the Meisters. This, however, changes due to the interactions he has with Lockon Stratos later on, where he starts to act more human-like. He is serious and pragmatic, but his past is completely shrouded by mystery.

---

• Aloof Ally: At the start of the series, he treats the rest of Celestial Being with nothing but contempt, although he eventually grows out of it.
• Ambiguously Gay: Word of God mentions Tieria never associated with any women beside he quiet compassionate with them. There is some implication that he fell in love or has one-side crush with Neil Dylandy, but it's not explicitly stated.
• Ambiguous Gender: Like most of the Innovades, doesn't possess any sexual characteristics, but he identifies as a man.
• Armed Legs: Seravee has a beam cannon mounted on both knees. They are also literally extra arms for grabbing enemies or wielding their own beam saber.
• Artificial Human: He's an Innovade created to serve Celestial Being.
• Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Departs to join the ELS at the end of A Wakening of the Trailblazer.
• Attractive Bent-Gender: At one point, dresses up as a woman and awes many men at the party he attends.
• Barrier Warrior: Tieria's Gundams can generate the strongest GN Fields, but starting with Seravee, they can generate and fire particle blasts directly from an already formed barrier.
• Beam Spam: As the provider of artillery fire for the Meisters, Tieria's Gundams can unleash virtual streams of beam blasts.
• Become a Real Boy: Both adhered to and subverted. He learns to live like a human over the course of the series. He becomes attached to Neil Dylandy, breaks away from VEDA, and adopts parts of the Ptolemaois crew as a surrogate family. For a time he even insists that he IS human. Yet in the end, he gives up his physical body, accepts himself for what he is, and finds fulfillment by merging with VEDA as an AI. His denial is more pertaining to his biological origins, but his actions all the way to the end make him the most human, or rather, humane of the Innovades, not counting Anew.
• Beneath the Mask: Neil believe beneath his tough and prideful side, Tieria is pretty fragile from inside.
• Benevolent A.I.: As VEDA living consciousness, he still help Celestial Being by giving some information, watch over the progress of humanity and the wellbeing of his comrades. Which brings up the philosophical question, which one is Tieria? The A.I. or the 'human' that died by a bullet to the head?
• Berserk Button: A couple, but he cycles through them. He started out so violently devoted to Veda that if anyone (i.e. Setsuna and Allelujah) messed up its plans he'd lock them in a padded room for a week at best, and try to kill them at worst. After Veda ditches him, he throws all of his affection onto Neil "Lockon Stratos" Dylandy, and God help you if you insult him in front of Tieria.
• BFG: A trademark of his Gundams are giant beam cannons.
• Boom, Headshot!: Ribbons shoots him in the head, although he survives by uploading his mind to Veda.
• Break the Haughty: Revealing Nadleeh too early, being rejected by Veda, and Neil Taking the Bullet for him all do a number on his self-confidence. Ultimately a positive spin on the trope, as it contributes to his defrosting and Character Development.
• Chekhov's Gun: Tieria uses the trial system in Season One to stop the Trinities's Gundams, but Ribbons manages to override it. The Trial system isn't used again until the final battle of Season Two, when Tieria uses it to stop the Innovades' mobile suits..
• Crippling Overspecialization: All of Tieria's weapons are beam-based, which leaves him severely handicapped if he's engaging an enemy in environments that diminishes beam effectiveness, such as underwater or within a giant cloud of particle disruption.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Tieria's Gundam is associated with the colour black and his main theme colors are dark-purple. Aside from his negative persona before his character development in season 1, Tieria was a purely good and loyal character.
• Death Is Cheap: He can upload his mind to Veda if his body is killed. This comes in handy in the movie, where he self-destructs Gundam Raphael to take out a bunch of ELS that would have killed the other Meisters. While Raphael isn't easily replaced, the death of Tieria's physical body is just a minor inconvenience.
• Deflector Shield: While all the other Gundams can theoretically form a GN Field, it's featured most consistently with Tieria's Gundams and by and large the most powerful.
• Defrosting Ice King: Thanks to his Character Development.
• Detachment Combat: Raphael's backback can separate from the main body and transform into the Gundam Seravee II, allowing Tieria to pilot two Gundams simultaneously.
• Disney Death: Appears to die at the end of Season One, but shows up alive and well in Season Two. Ribbons kills his body towards the end of Season Two, but Regene managed to upload Tieria's mind to Veda, making him nearly immortal. In the movie, he appears to sacrifice himself to take out several ELS, but manages to stay alive through Veda.
• Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite: While Tieria never shown any concern about relationship, there are two character who shown any interest with him.
  • Micheal Trinity point out Tieria is very cute and really wanted to get him if he was a female.
  • Mileina Vasthi, Ian and Linda daughter, who has a big crush on him. While this probably a Unrequited Love, Tieria never disturb with this and only shown his warm smile and trust at her.
• Evil Twin: Regene Regetta, Ribbons's right hand. They have the same DNA. Subverted when it turns out that Regene is on Tieria's side.
• Expy: His anger and morality are similar to Chang Wufei's.
• Four Is Death: He is the fourth meister. He piloted four Gundams in the series, not counting the 00 Gundam seen in a Flash Back, including the GN-004 Nadleeh. Speaking of the 00 Gundam, it is the only fourth generation Gundam and it's powered by two GN Drives; one from the very first (O) Gundam and the other is from Setsuna's previous (Exia) Gundam that was part of the third generation Gundams (It's 1+ 3=4). In the second season, he is revealed to be part of the Innovades, a group that consist of four pairs. And finally, guess what happened to him near the Grand Finale? Yup, he was killed, only physically, but still killed. Oh, and to be specific, that happened on episode 24.
• Full-Name Basis: He call others by their full names rather than either last or first ones. He seems to have dropped the habit by Season Two, though.
• Gender-Blender Name : Tieria is feminine name. Beside He has feminine-looking appearance and presumably he was sexless, Tieria identify himself as a man, even his act and his voice is way too masculine for him. This also shared to both his clone like Regene Regetta and Laetitia Erde.
• Genius Bruiser: While he is a Badass Bookworm, while fighting inside his Gundams, he can be both The Big Guy and The Smart Guy.
• Good Counterpart: Tieria serves as this to Ribbons Almark, due both of them being known as proud and strong combat-type Innovade and Gundam pilots. While Tieria used to be proud, like accusing someone of some mistake and refusing to admit his failure due to his ego, he was always being loyal to VEDA and his Celestial Being comrades, which led to his Character Development to be a better person. While Ribbons, who was supposedly still loyal to be Aeolia's plan, betrays the Celestial Being for his own goals, manipulates everyone in the world, causes chaos and mass murder, is absolutely disgusted by humanity and refuses to innovate them to be the true-Innovator, feels he is the most superior being in the world and refuses to acknowledge him as Innovade. Ribbons doesn't care about anyone except himself and his own goal to be ''Messiah''.
• Good Is Not Nice: Before his character development. He fight for good side but not very nice to people and is pretty Jerkass. It's toned down in season 2 even though he still restrain his no-sense and bold side.
• Grapple Move: Non-videogame example. One of Tieria's signature moves with Seravee is to grab and immobilize an enemy before finishing them with a weapon mounted in one of his many hidden limbs or with Seraphim.
• Heartbroken Badass: Neil's death near the end of Season 1 devastates him, to the point where he welcomes his own death if it means he can see Neil again. Years later, he still cares deeply for Neil, and is enraged by Ribbons insulting him.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He self-destructs Gundam Raphael in the movie. Since Tieria's still linked to Veda, it doesn't kill him.
• Hunter of His Own Kind: In Season 2, he fights against the Innovades despite being one himself.
• Hypocrite: One of the early episode, he was nearly captured and forced to pull his Gundam's trump card to escape. Once Celestial Being regroups, he chides Sumeragi for her botched forecasting even though she pretty much admits and takes responsibility for the blunder. Lockon calls him out on it and how he's not fessing up to his own mistakes.
• I Am What I Am: He finally accepted the fact he was an Innovade, and continue to guide and help his friends to change the future.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: He starts out as a cold, high-and-mighty Jerkass, but when he makes the kind of mistake he calls his fellow Meisters out on, his disappointment in himself is such that he bursts into tears. And as soon as the supercomputer he's so faithful to ditches him altogether, it's revealed that he's too insecure to do anything on his own without it.
• Ironic Name: Tieria come from word "Tierra" means "Earth", but he states that he hates the earth and prefers to live in space.
• Judge, Jury, and Executioner: He is the sole operator of the appropriately-named TRIAL System. Once he's judged somebody unfit to be a Gundam Meister, the TRIAL system allows him to shut down their Gundam and kill them.
• Men Don't Cry: Averted when Lockon/Neil died where he shed the most Manly Tears.
• Messianic Archetype: He got himself physically killed to save his friends and humanity from Fucking Ribbons by merging with Veda, and then he had his Seraphim Gundam use the Trial system to eliminate Ribbons' minions by emitting a red cross while it's in a Crucified Hero Shot.
• Mighty Glacier: Tieria's Gundams are all bulky tankers with overwhelming firepower and an auxillary mode to handle more spry tasks.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Seravee has four BFGs, two on its shoulders and two in its knees. These all are capable of sprouting hands equipped with beam sabers in addition to the Seravee's normal pair, allowing Seravee to simultaneously fight with six beam sabers at one time.
• My Death Is Just the Beginning: When he is maimed and killed by Ribbons, his consciousness merges with Veda. Then he knocks every last ship he can out of the sky and then schools Setsuna on plans of Aeolia Schenberg, and he does all of this while shot in the head.
• Mysterious Past: While his origins are revealed in season two, his past STILL remains a mystery.
• Never My Fault: Due to his pride and Inferiority Superiority Complex, he has a tendency to blame others for things he's at least partially responsible for. Losing this habit is a significant part of his Character Development, and by the end of Season 1 he's learned to take responsibility for his mistakes.
• Not Quite Dead: Ribbons’ killed his body, but he’s a part of VEDA now, meaning he’s still alive in a sense.
• Pronoun Trouble: His choice of first-person pronoun in Japanese is indicative of his mental state; masculine "ore" pre-defrostment, more reserved "boku" after he's defrosted, and gender-neutral "watashi" at his most fragile. He once even managed to use all three of these in a row (ore to boku to watashi) when he cried on screen the first time. The English dub drops this due to the English language's lack of gendered first-person pronouns.
• Purple Is Powerful: His theme color is purple, and he's the heavy-hitter among Celestial Being's Meisters.
• Real Men Wear Pink: While he's hardly Mr Super Manly Man, that pink cardigan of his definitely counts.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. He's actually fairly compassionate, though it takes some time for him to learn this himself.
• Rei Ayanami Expy: While Tieria is not an emotionless man, he has many traits of this expy. He is an artificial human, has odd hair and eye color, has Undying Loyalty to Veda (his creator), feels that he is different from the others, and later earns character development which makes him defrost his cold personality, thanks to the man that he really cares for after he saved him.And it's confirmed that he has a clone that can help him return to help his comrades even though he is now united with Veda, which is pretty similar to how Rei can be cloned if she is destroyed in battle.
• Sealed Badass in a Can: His consciousness now become one with VEDA. Though he can return physically with his new body.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!:
  • After he refuses to join Ribbons, Tieria pulls the gun in his garter on him and then when that doesn't shut him up he jumps out a window.
  • And later, when he immobilizes Bring Stabity's mobile suit, Bring is sure that Tieria won't strike the killing blow. After all, as Innovators, they're both the same. Tieria angrily retorts that he's not an Innovator, but a human, and kills Bring.
• The Glasses Come Off: Everytime while in mission, he take off his glasses. Word of God said he only wears glasses to protect his eyes. He doesn't necessarily need them.
• Shoulder Cannon: Tieria's Gundam are all equipped with powerful, shoulder-mounted beam cannons.
• Spaceship Girl: Gender-Inverted... sorta. Tieria uploads himself in the 00 Qan[T] during the Final Battle in the movie to help with Setsuna in the dialogues with the ELSes and remains with him when they decide to travel the ELSes' homeworld.
• The Spock: Tries to act as emotionless and rational as possible, although he later lightens up.
• Stoic Spectacles: His fairly large spectacles indicate his aloofness.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: His eyes glow gold whenever he links with Veda.
• Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Is tall, broods, and snarks at his teammates prior to his character development.
• Token Non-Human: The one and only Innovade among the Gundam Meisters.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Becomes much more compasionate and friendly as the series goes on. By Season Two, he's practically unrecognizable as the person who threatened to murder his teammates over the mere hint of insubordination.
• Virtual Ghost: After Regene uploads Tieria's mind to Veda, he exists mostly as data, although he can still create and use a biological body.
• Vocal Dissonance: His appearance can pass as woman or tomboyish woman, but has deep and masculine voice both in Japanese and English.
• The Voice: After Ribbons gunned him to death, his mind left his physical body and merged with Veda. The only way for him to make his presence felt is through his voice. Unless you're Ribbons, in which case... hoo boy...
• Wave-Motion Gun: His Gundams' main weapons takes a while to charge, but are among the most powerful of Celestial Being's arsenal.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Dresses as a woman in episode 8 of season two, complete with fake breasts and long hair extensions... and a hidden pistol in his garter.
• Younger Than They Look: At first glance, viewer will thinking he probably share same age with Setsuna. Since he was confirmed a Innovade, in prequel novel, there's speculated he was born at 2302.A.D, 3 years before Setsuna join Celestial Being.
