Kamille Bidan is the protagonist of Zeta Gundam. Kamille is a troubled teen whose home colony became the main base for the tyrannical Titans group, a group for which Kamille developed resentment. This culminated in him joining the AEUG to fight the Titans, believing that someone should stand up for what he believes in. Though he can be reckless and arrogant, his character is marked by compassion, and as the series progresses, he vows to stop the war, no matter the personal cost.
Berserk Button: Don't make fun of him for having a girly-sounding name if you don't want to get into a fight...at least until around the halfway point, which after he really doesn't care.
Character Development: Whilst still prickly, he chills out considerably over the course of the series.
Character Tics: Chewing on his thumbnail when under stress.
Foil: To Jerid and Scirocco. See their entries for more on that.
Gender Blender Name: Kamille particularly hated his feminine-sounding name - and thus tried to assert his manhood by learning martial arts and developing a hobby in amateur mobile suit creation.
For the record, "Camille" is gender neutral.
"Kamille's a Man's name! AND I'M A MAN!"
Generation Xerox: He might have inherited the hobby in ameteur mobile suit creation from his parents: both were Federation officers and among the main engineering team that designed the Titan's prototype unit, RX-178 Gundam Mk-II.
Hot Blooded: While fighting. He's sometimes like this outside his mecha too, if angered enough, especially early on. Later he learns to control his emotions, but he still can get pretty loud if you piss him off.
Informed Ability: Mild example. Kamille is without a doubt a superb Ace Pilot, but not noticeably more so than Amuro, Judau, or any of the other protagonists in the series. So, to make him seem more badass than he really is, Tomino has everyone, on both sides, comment on just how great a fighter Kamille is and how only a truly awesome Newtype could be doing what he is doing.
Parental Abandonment: During the course of the war with the Titans, Kamille witnessed the death of both his parents, first love and friends.
Psychic Powers Of course. He's a Newtype, but doesn't accept it until late in the series.
A VERY powerful Newtype as well. The actions Kamille pulls off in the Zeta at the end of the series are completely insane, even for a Newtype, such as making the Zeta totally invunerable with a forcefield generated by the biosensor and his Newtype power, extending the Beam Saber into an energy whip that had to be at least- 2 miles long, and then freezes The O in place so he can crash the Waverider straight through the cockpit. Take a minute to remember this is a Gundam series.
It gets even crazier in Gundam ZZ, Zeta's sequel. When Kamille finally recovers from Scirocco's psychic attack he displays incredible control over his Newtype powers, including telekinetically reassembling the Double Zeta from thousands of miles away.
Ramming Always Works: At the end of Zeta, he channels the power of the dead and impales Scirocco on Zeta's waverider mode nose.
Revenge Before Reason: Kamille displays a tendency to seek revenge without thought for the consequences from the start of the series. In the first two episodes alone he attacks a member of the Titans with his fists for making an off-hand comment about how girly his name sounds, calls a Military Police officer who has him in custody a brute, attacks said officer physically when he throws something at Kamille for insulting him — in the middle of the prison and just after his mother's lawyer comes to bail him out... And then he runs out of the prison, ignoring the chaos all around him from a crashed mobile suit and his mother's presence, to Gundam Jack the Mk II Gundam for the purpose of "getting back" at the MP officer for having him beaten in response to being attacked. He even ends up joining the AEUG as part of his way of "getting even" with the Titans, after first menacing the aforementioned MP officer with his newly hijacked mobile suit.
The Rival: He and Jerid have a nasty one going. It largely involves them killing one another's loved ones.
Super Prototype: The Zeta Gundam, and to a lesser degree, the Mark II.
Teen Genius: He was well-known as an amateur mecha builder before he left his colony, and later he designed the Zeta Gundam.
Subverted. Quattro is alive and kicking after the end. he only dies in the movie after he goes back to Char.
Which, as we all know, is the Persian numeral for four.
Fragile Speedster: The Hyaku-Shiki is fast, manouverable, and well-armed, and it's antibeam coating should make it immune to laser fire. Yet the show repeatedly demonstrates that it simply doesn't have the durability of other Super Prototypes, like the Zeta Gundam, The O, and the Qubeley, and it is frequently manhandled at close ranges. In retrospect, giving it a layer of paint as its primary defence probably wasn't a good idea...
Hypocrite: Whether it's lecturing Amuro on getting over Lalah, getting mad at Haman for manipulating a member of the Zabi family, or being outraged by Axis-Zeon's treachery, Char spends most of the show calling people out on things he has no right to call them out on.
Informed Ability: Again, it's not that Char doesn't demonstrate his ability as a leader, pilot, etc over the course of the series. It's that the constant shillinig he recieves from the rest of the cast (including people like Hayato and Amuro who should not be doing so) makes him out to be even more of a badass than he really is.
Super Prototype: The Hyaku-Shiki (which, apparently, began life as the Delta Gundam, which was supposed to have its own Wave Rider mode prior to the Zeta - hence the verniers at its back. The concept was revisited in the Delta+).
Theme Naming: Quattro is the fourth name The Red Comet has used, after Casval Rem Daikun, Edward Mass and Char Aznable.
Unfortunate Names: His name is sometimes romanized as 'Quattro Bagina'. And considering the letter B in Japanese is sometimes romanized as a V... you get the idea. It is actually romanized as "Quattro Vagina" in the PS1Char's Counterattack game (proven here) as well as the SD Gundam G-Generation series.
Fa Yuiry
Kamille's best friend in his home colony, Fa joins up with the AEUG after they save the escape pod she was in. Determined to prove herself to Kamille and the rest of the AEUG she undergoes pilot training to try and stay useful.
Action Girl: At least enough to make it to the end of the series.
Action Survivor: The mecha anime equivalent. She doesn't score any brilliant kills, or take a level in badass, or anything like that, but she survives Zeta, which is a victory in and of itself.
Clingy Jealous Girl: A mild example. She's certainly very suspicious anytime Kamille talks to another girl.
Dogged Nice Girl: To Kamille. It's not that he doesn't notice her, it's just that there's a lot of other stuff going on in his life right now.
Expy: She's essentially a less bitchy Frau Bow—her relationship with Kamille even mimics the one that Frau had with Amuro, albeit with a different ending.
Victorious Childhood Friend: Eventually, after Kamille recovers from loving and losing Four, and the aftermath of what Scirocco did to him.
Emma Sheen
A former Titans pilot, Emma jumped ship to the AEUG after realising what sort of people she was working for. She is close to Kamille and Captain Bekkener, and serves as a substitute mother to Katz Kobayashi, whom she does her best to keep out of trouble.
The captain of the Argama and then the Radish, Henken Bekkener forms close friendships with Kamille Biden, Emma Sheen, and the rest of the AEUG pilots. Like Emma, he is often a voice of reason among the AEUG leadership.
Faux Action Girl: Is supposed to be a superb spy, but gets captured easily at least twice. She fares slightly better while piloting, but she still Can't Catch Up. Ironically, she does get somewhat better... after herFace Heel Turn.
Glory Hound: Reccoa's obsessed with looking good and having the respect of those around her.
Killed Off for Real: If she wasn't dead after Emma defeated her, she certainly was when Yazan destroyed her mobile suit.
Moral Myopia: Accuses Char of being a Selfish Evil creep who thinks the world revolves around him. She's not wrong, but given her own behaviour it's damned funny. And then there's her constantly expecting special treatment from the Argama crew whenever she attacks them, while being totally unwilling to do the same.
One of the three war orphans adopted by the White Base in Mobile Suit Gundam, Katz eventually joins the AEUG in the hopes of following in the footsteps of his adopted father, and his hero, Amuro Ray.
Hero Worshipper: He used to be like this towards Amuro, but the latter's shellshock turn him into a Broken Pedestal. However, when Amuro decides to sortie out in the Rick Dias, Katz goes right back to idolizing him.
Love Makes You Dumb: His crush on Sarah seriously impairs his judgement. We get that you like her Katz, but dude, she works for Scirocco. Stop helping her and move on.
Took a Level in Jerkass: The kids were irritating in the original show, but not to this level.
Bright NoaThe captain of the White Base during the One Year War, Bright joins up with the AEUG out of disgust with the Titans. Due to his experiences with Amuro in MSG he has a pretty solid idea of what to expect from Kamille.
Big Damn Heroes He does this surprisingly often for a minor character, but he gets extra points for doing it once in the brand new Zeta Gundam
Deadpan Snarker: One of his few personality traits that does shine through. He's constantly snarking, whether about Kamille and Fa, the stupidity of the situation, or even Mineva Zabi's entrance.
Mauve Shirt: Leads the Rick Dom's, making him the heroic equivalent of an Elite Mook.
Mook Lieutenant: Heroic example, as leader of the Rick Doms.
The Load: Are actively in the way much of the time. Whether it's annoying the engineers, running away, or trying to steal the Methuss they are constantly underfoot.
Small Annoying Creature: The opinion of everyone who has to put up with them. Only Fa seems immune.
Pilot of the original Gundam during the One Year War, Amuro has gone into semi-retirement in order to deal with his post-traumatic stress disorder. He eventually returns to action, and forms a brief, but close partnership with Kamille.
He's Back: First one: avoiding government agents and then ramming a mobile suit with a transport. His true one is when he pilots the Rick Dias and is able to adapt to the seven years advanced technology and hits Hi-Zacks through a thick fog.
Took a Level in Badass: Who needs a Gundam? Between his cargo plane hijackings or attempts to make a one-man action movie rescuing Mirai and her family, Amuro is frequently more interesting to watch without an MS.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Partially, since she's clingy yet has no real love rival.
Character Development: Later in the series, she has changed for the better and aknowledges how childish she used to be. Quite the growth for a Clingy Jealous Girl.
No Accounting for Taste: Rare genderflipped version, since nobody really understands why Amuro puts up with her. The truth is that she's an excuse for him to not go back to the front.
A veteran of the One Year War, Kai was one of the White Base's top pilots, alongside Amuro Ray and Sayla Mass. He returns in Zeta as a journalist/AEUG spy, operating in the rainforest.
Face of a Thug: It's better than it was when he was a kid, but at the end of the day, Kai still looks as though his paycheck is coming from a Mafia Don.
Took a Level in Badass: Holy cow Kai does a complete 180 in time for Zeta Gundam and the various sidestories going on at that point. Stylish, competent, able to engage in tactical espionage action in the RAINFOREST in a white business suit, all while juggling a career of journalism. To top it off, in sidestories he comes off as a freaking UC James Bond without his own mobile suit while he kicks copious amounts of ass.
Whip It Good: In his first appearance, where he uses a whip on one of the men who was threatening Reccoa.
Love Triangle: Married to Hayato and six months pregnant with his child, but she is only ever seen/portrayed with Amuro, and openly confesses to wanting more time with him; Word Of God has Amuro inwardly pissed at Moment Killer Katz.
Mirai Noa
Hot Mom: The Art Evolution doesn't make her a super beauty, but she still looks cuter than in the original series.
Happily Married: Despite Beltochika completely failing to understand this, and being physically separated from her spacebound spouse, Mirai shows a great deal of care for Bright, saying that she raises their two children taking his wishes and feelings into consideration as though he were there. In fact, Beltochika asks her how can that be possible, and Mirai calmly explains that she and her kids know well how hard Bright and Co. are fighting out there.
Yamato Nadeshiko: With heavy emphasis on the will of iron that goes along with "serenity, patience, grace, acceptance and being a good mommy" while her husband is away.
Silk Hiding Steel: The woman almost never loses her cool, whether it's towards Beltochika saying too much, or towards the Hostage Situation she and her kids are forced in.
Hathaway and Cheimin Noa
Children Are Innocent: Say what you will about Hathaway's behavior later, but here he is a genuinely innocent child and so is his sister.
Brutal Honesty: All the time. Needless to say, it gets right under the Argama crew's skin.
Jerkass: Though he had a pretty good reason to beat up Kamille he is pushy and and a jerk to a lot of people on the Argama.
Jerk Ass Has A Point: He's actually got the right idea (or, at least, a well-reasoned one that's worth considering) most of the time. It's pretty much the only reason nobody on the Argama ever tries to shove him out of an airlock.
Pet the Dog: Gave Shinta and Qum drinks and said children shouldn't be afraid to ask for things.
Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Shoves his weight around the Argama by saying that the AEUG's allies, Anaheim Electronics, would support him on his attack plans. Even if they were dumb.
Stern Teacher: Shades of this before getting Flanderized into a total jerk ass later in the series.
The leader of the Titans, Admiral Jamitov Hymem has grander ambitions than simply running the Earth Federation's State Sec. He hopes to gain control of the whole Earth Sphere for himself, and is prepared to use any means necessary to get that power.
Ambiguously Jewish: Jamitov looks like he stepped out of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" or one of the other anti-Semitic tracts the Nazis liked to float around. This is somewhat unfortunate.
Hidden Agenda Villain: We know for most of the series that the Titans aren't just about hunting Zeon, but it takes a little while for Jamitov's true motives to become apparent.
Insane Admiral: Literally. He suffers from obvious megalomania and is an Earth Federation admiral.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: According to side material, a link, and several scenes throughout the series, Jamitov actually hates Earthlings and is trying to get them into space. He hired a mad dog like Bask to brutalize colonists and stir up rebellion, triggering the collapse of the Earth Federation and a mass exodus to the colonies with him in charge.
Bask Om
Jamitov's Number Two, Captain Bask Om serves as the Titans' field leader. A hulking brute with a pathological hatred of all colonials, Bask is responsible for the worst of the atrocities associated with the Titans' name.
Dragon Their Feet: Was nowhere to be seen when Scirocco blew Jamitov away. He's killed shortly afterwards.
Interestingly, the movie trilogy corrects this oversight: Basque is given a scene alongside Scirocco's speech, guessing right away he killed Jamitov, only to be let himself be baited by Yazan into focusing on the AEUG instead. Pointedly, it's Yazan and not Reccoa who bumps him off later.
Evil Cripple: If the theories about his being blind are true. See Eye Scream below for further details.
Eye Scream: According to some sources, those goggles are actually artificial eyes. He left his real ones behind in the Zeon POW camp where he spent most of the One Year War.
He still has eyes. In an early episode he briefly takes off his goggles while talking to Jamaican. Whether they function any is the big question.
First Name Basis: Everyone calls him Bask, including his subordinates.
Freudian Excuse: He spent most of the One Year War in a POW camp, being tortured by Zeon. Given that this information is only available in side materials it's played as an explanation, not a genuine excuse.
Goggles Do Nothing: Possibly. No one's sure if Bask's eyes are functional, or if he needs the goggles to see.
Insane Admiral: Bask's brutality is so extreme that madness may well be the best explanation for it.
Non-Action Guy: He'll slap his subordinates around, and he isn't afraid to lead from the front, but Bask is not a combatant.
Non-Standard Character Design: Bask stands head and shoulders above the rest of the cast, and has a peculiarly elongated face that looks like it belongs on a far fatter man (Bask is big, but hardly overweight). And that's without mentioning the goggles that he almost never takes off, or his darker skintone.
Revenge: Side materials hint that the reason why he hates colonials so much is the fact that he was made into a POW and horrendously tortured by the Zeon in the One Year War.
Would Hit a Girl: In addition to hitting Reccoa in the face (see When All You Have Is a Hammer above), Bask has no problem with strapping a woman inside of a capsule, ejecting said capsule into space, and then sending Jerid out to shoot it down.
Paptimus Scirocco
I'm merely a witness to history...
An Earth Federation technical officer and fleet commander, Scirocco hails from Jupiter, where he and his fleet were sent to collect helium gas. He is eventually recruited by Admiral Jamtiov when the latter decides he needs reinforcements; unbeknownst to Jamitov, Scirocco has his own ambitions for the Earth Sphere, and is a very powerful Newtype to boot.
Ambiguous Disorder: Like Camille, Scirocco is far more interested in machines than people, and has rather poor interpersonal skills (though his Mind Rape powers make up for that).
Armour Is Useless: Averted by his final mobile suit, The O, which is the only suit in-show to withstand multiple beam rifle bursts with no damage due to its incredibly thick plating.
Bad Powers, Bad People: See Lack of Empathy below. He's pretty much the only Newtype in the Universal Century capable of using his powers to brainwash people.
Beware the Superman: The single most sinister Newtype in the UC verse, Scirocco's a shining example of why normal humans were so afraid of them.
Justified Trope: The Jupitris is actually a transport vessel analogous to the supertankers of today and his mobile suits are all oversized to mount the numerous thrusters and verniers they need to operate in Jupiter's gravity well.
Blood Oath: He gives one to Jamitov when pledging his allegiance to the Titans. It doesn't stop him from perforating Jamitov the moment he gets the chance.
The Casanova: A very dark take, using his good looks and charming facade to manipulate multiple women into doing his bidding. He's a gender-flipped Femme Fatale at points.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Scirocco pretty much betrays everyone in order to achieve his goals. If you work for him, hire him, or care about him, watch out—he's just using you.
Despotism Justifies the Means: Despite his protestations to the contrary, it can easily be argued that he's not out for a higher cause and really just wants to rule the world, ideally through a female puppet.
Ephebophile: Hinted at with his thorough seduction of the fifteen-year-old Sarah Zabiarov, though he never shows any genuine sexual interest in her.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He does seem to have cared about Sarah, to the extent that a man like him ever cared about anything other than himself, as evidenced by his attack on Katz after her death.
Even Evil Has Standards: He prefers to distance himself from the bloodthirsty actions of his superiors Jamitov and Bask, and at one point even sends Sarah out to to the AEUG to ruin one of their schemes. Granted, it was for self-serving purposes...
Evil Is Bigger: His mobile suits tend towards the large, with The O standing head and shoulders above every AEUG machine in production, and being at least twice as wide.
Evil Mentor: To Sarah Zabiarov, Reccoa Londe, Jerid Messa, and even Yazan Gable, of all people.
Famous Last Words: "I won't die alone. I'm going to take your soul with me, Kamille Bidan."
Faux Affably Evil: Scirocco tries to come off as polite and reasonable, but as he himself admits, he's just not very good at it.
Foil: Given that they're both Newtype Ace Pilot mobile suit designers with Ambiguous Disorders, one can see Scirocco as an older, more jaded, cynical Kamille, with his intelligence amplified into true genius, but his empathy almost completely gone. Moreoever, while Kamille is frequently held up as the epitome of what a Newtype is supposed to be, Scirocco is the posterboy for the bad Newtype, who uses his Psychic Powers for personal gain and plans to lead the world into a darker future.
From Nobody to Nightmare: He was just a minor official from Jupiter, but managed to manipulate his way into becoming the supreme leader of the Titans.
Gray Eyes/Purple Eyes: Like his hair colour, Scirocco's eye colour shifts between these depending upon the lighting.
Heavy Worlder: Scirocco is from Jupiter, and his final mobile suit, The O, is meant to operate in his homeworld's gravity. As such, when flown in outer space or Earth's orbit it transforms from a heavily-armoured Mighty Glacier to a Lightning Bruiser and becomes even more dangerous.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Twenty-five years after the original series ended, Scirocco's exact goals are still shrouded in mystery.
Hypocrite: He's always telling people not to make the mistake of underestimating his Newtype powers, but makes the same mistake himself when he faces off against Kamille at the end of the series.
Immune to Bullets: Not quite but very close: The O's thick armor allows it to tank beam fire from the Qubeley's funnels outright, something that no other suit is able to do.
Lack of Empathy: Perhaps best demonstrated by the nature of his Psychic Powers. The defining trait of a Newtype is their ability to perform empathic connections with others, understanding them without misconceptions and drawing on their strength through bonds of friendship. Scirocco simply uses it to better manipulate people, and shows no sign of seeing those he connects with as anything more than useful tools.
Large and in Charge: The O is considerably larger than any regular issue suit of its era, or any Gundam that doesn't have "Psyco" attached to its name.
Lightning Bruiser: His last mobile suit, the extremely dangerous PMX-003 The O. Justified in that his mobile suits were designed to operate in a Jovian (Jupiter's) gravity well, which is much stronger than the Earth's.
Man in White: Scirocco's white uniform, which seems to be unique among the Titans.
Narcissist: Scirocco isn't totally callous when it comes to his pawns, but he's close enough, and has difficulty seeing them as anything more than his possessions. Even his Utopia Justifies the Means rhetoric has a certain "only I can save the world" edge to it.
Playing Both Sides: Plays the Titans, the Axis, and the AEUG against one another as he climbs to power. Only Haman Kahn really catches on.
Psychic Powers: One of the most powerful Newtypes to ever appear in-series, to the point where he's able to Mind Rape the equally powerful Kamille as he's dying and is more or less broadcasting his presence to everyone in his general vicinity. His abilities include:
Renaissance Man: Starship captain, battlefield strategist, psychological mastermind, a smooth-talker, mobile suit designer, and Federation ace. He's a busy man.
Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: He and Yazan Gable form a very twisted variant. Scirocco's a cultured psychological predator, with Psychic Powers, grand ambitions, and superb manipulative skills. Yazan's an actual predator with a nearly feral nature, no powers and a direct way of handling problems. They get along very well.
Not So Stoic - The only time we really see his frigid exterior crack is when Sarah dies and he forgets all about the psychic battle he was waging just moments before in favor of going after her killer.
Super Prototype: The PMX series, the set of unique and extraordinarily powerful mobile suits that he designed and built aboard the Jupitris. Of these, the PMX-003 The O is perhaps the one most iconically associated with him.
Transforming Mecha: His first mobile suit, the PMX-000 Messala, which transforms into a mobile armour.
Utopia Justifies the Means: Towards the end, he monologues that this is his true objective. Of course, we only have his word to back him up, and Scirocco isn't exactly the most trustworthy person in the Universal Century...
Jerid and Yazan's superior officer, Jamaican is a sycophantic Titans' commander who hangs onto every word Bask and Jamitov say. He and his men chase the Argama throughout the first half of the show.
Asshole Victim: Admit it—when Yazan killed him, you either didn't care at all or cheered.
Bad Boss: Drives Jerid and Mouar to (temporarily) ally with Scirocco.
Starter Villain: His entire purpose is to chase Kamille and the Argama for the first part of the show, and then die right around the time that Scirocco, Yazan, and the rest of the real threats appear.
"I'll make that pompous fool kneel before me someday."
Kamille's rival, Jerid possesses the personality of a school bully, and the attitude to match. He seeks to one day run the Titans' himself, and to that end, aims to destroy Kamille and the stolen Gundams as a means of improving his reputation.
Ace Pilot: Reaches this status around the same time Kamille does.
Anti-Villain: He accidentally kills Kamille's mom and is very nasty when he fights, but when he does grow fond of someone else, he genuinely cares for said person and heavily grieves if he loses him/her.
And "accidentally" is also accounting for the fact that he didn't know what the capsule even contained, and he was simply following orders.
Even worse: he was told that the capsule contained a bomb and that he should shoot at whoever tried to get closer to it. He shot at it because he had a borderline Freak Out when Kamille got closer to retrieve it.
Badass Normal: For most the show, Jerid demonsrates no Newtype powers. He's still one of the few people who can give Kamille a run for his money.
Badass Abnormal: In the last few episodes, Jerid begins to unlock his Newtype potential.
Handicapped Badass: Jerid spends a couple of episodes on crutches. He still tracks Kamille and Four across the mountains to deal with them.
Can't Catch Up: He can never quite reach Kamille's level of skill, though that doesn't stop him from being extremely dangerous, especially when in Unstoppable Rage mode.
Cartwright Curse: Falls for Lila and Mouar, both get killed off.
Even Evil Has Standards: He isn't a fan of gassing colonies but then again he just follows orders on it and doesn't protest.
Foil: To Kamille. They're both young, arrogant, ace pilots with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Jerid's Jerk Jock persona makes for a marked contrast with Kamille's Insufferable Genius, while his desire for promotions and personal glory, and weak Newtype status, set him apart from the genuinely committed, frighteningly powerful Kamille.
Know When to Fold 'Em: Surprisingly yes. Jerid starts out as a Hot Blooded idiot, but by the series' midpoint his ability to tell when a battle has been lost is what makes him officer material.
Super Prototype: Becomes a test pilot for numerous new models, including the Gabthley, Byarlant, and Baund Doc.
Took a Level in Badass: Jerid evolves from a worthless Villain of the Week to an Ace Pilot in a Super Prototype mobile suit, whose threat level is near Big Bads Haman and Scirocco. Even Haman herself was shocked durring his Unstoppable Rageat her after she attempted to assassinate Jamitov: he would have killed her had the AEUG not interfered. He's also responsable for killing Apolly near the end.
Unstoppable Rage: You do not want to fight Jerid after killing one of his allies. You really don't.
Weak, but Skilled: He's not the Titans' top pilot, but he tends to give a remarkably good accounting of himself despite weak/nonexistent Newtype powers and a long line of inferior suits.
Yazan Gable
"I'm gonna violate you!"
A Titans officer with a love of bloodshed, Yazan is the most powerful Oldtype pilot introduced in the show. Raised by a mother who disdained all trappings of culture, Yazan is an almost feral predator, who lives only to prove his superiority.
Anime Hair: Part-bouffant, part-Mohawk, part-mullet, part balding...it's quite the look, ain't it?
Axe Crazy: Downplayed. Yazan is dangerously insane, but his evil, rather than his madness, recieves the most emphasis, and his general characterization is that of a brutal uncaring thug rather than a cackling madman.
Badass Normal: Yazan is neither a Newtype nor the pilot of a Super Prototype. He still kills more AEUG members than any other Titan, at a point in the show when those without special abilities or suits were generally being relegated to the backburner. Kamille lampshades this during their first battle, noting "He's got lots of experience, but I don't feel any psychic pressure. He's just strong."
Book Dumb: An uneducated brute, but far from stupid. Most of his victories in fact, come from outsmarting the opposing pilots.
The Brute: Yazan is the Titans' and then Scirocco's attack dog. He's invaluable due to his cunning, viciousness, and skill as a pilot, but is never promoted past Lieutenant because he's simply not the kind of guy you give any real authority to.
Combat Pragmatist: Yazan's an ambush predator by nature. He utilises the terrain, decoys, team attacks, and anything else that will give him an advantage. The man may be a Blood Knight, but there's no Honour Before Reason.
Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted—he refused to partake in a gassing operation but this is because he prefers to kill one-on-one.
Evil Is Not Pacifist: Yazan is a serious war-junkie, joining the Titans so he would have an excuse to act on his violent impulses. Without war he'd be in serious trouble.
Extra Eyes: The RX-139 Hambrabi features five Zeonic monoeyes, allowing it to see in all directions.
Flawed Prototype: The Gaplant was rushed into production and has a blind spot. This does not stop Yazan from being very dangerous with it.
Hero Killer: Kills Katz, Henken, Reccoa and Emma (all in the space of one episode), arranges for the death of Jamaican and one of the Argama's Bridge Bunnies, and damn near kills Kamille himself on several separate occasions.
Make it Look Like an Accident: Gets Emma Sheen to fire at him, than dodges so that the blast will hit Jamaican, whom he hated.
Momma's Boy: His mother, with her disdain for education and intellectualism, definitely left her mark on her thuggish son, who has nothing positive to say about his father.
Unfriendly Fire: Is nearly shot down by the Alexandria's guns when Jamaican opens fire on Kamille during a battle between the two of them. He later arranges for Jamaican to die in a very similar fashion.
Villainous Friendship: Played with. Yazan is clearly incapable of empathy. Yet it's just as obvious that he at least enjoys the company of both Scirocco and like minded psychopaths Dunkel Cooper and Ramsus Hasa.
Would Hit a Girl/Would Hurt a Child: In Yazan's own words, the AEUG are made up of "women and children". He still thoroughly enjoys killing their members.
Mouar Pharaoh
A Titans officer who rescues Jerid during his time on Earth, Mouar becomes Jerid's closest friend and constant companion upon his return to space, eventually revealing that she has a crush on him.
One of the Cyber-Newtypes produced in the Titans' labs, Four Murasame is the original pilot of the Psyco Gundam. Bereft of her memories by the Titans' experiments, Four is willing to do anything to get them back. She and Kamille share a brief romance when they meet off-duty.
Adult Child: Not to as severe an extent as poor Rosamia, but she's still got some serious arrested development going on. The regular mind-wipes don't help in the slightest.
Cute and Psycho: Though she's not exactly to blame; it's a side-effect of having her psyche torn down and then rebuilt from the ground up with drugs and psycho-indoctrination on repeated occasions.
Heel Face Door Slam: She starts turning around and is promptly killed by Jerid.
It's All About Me: She's perfectly willing to commit mass murder in the Psyco Gundam, burn down Hong Kong, and attempt to kill Kamille—the first person to treat her like a human being—as long as it gets her memories back for her. She actually accuses Kamille of being created specifically to make her suffer. She's also ridiculously resentful of anyone else who tries to fly the Psyco.
To be fair, Four herself admits that it's like she becomes a completely different person when she's in the Psyco Gundam.
In "Forever Four", she actually goes between about three or four recognizably different personalities on-screen; whatever was done to make her into a Cyber-Newtype really messed up her head.
It's All Junk: Once she discovers Kamille's true identity.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: She's apparently a war orphan picked up by the Titans and trained as a Tykebomb. The treatment removed her prior memories, and one of her goals is to get them back.
Mysterious Past: She isn't too happy about having one, and one of the biggest holds the Murasame Institute has over her is their promise to give her memories back. It's implied, though, that she might not have a past at all.
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: It's implied that psychotic instability is an inherent fault in the Cyber Newtype program. The stronger they are made to be, the more insane they end up.
The first, and arguably craziest, Cyber-Newtype introduced, Rosamia is a psychological mess. Encountering Kamille during her time off, she latches onto him as a substitute for her deceased brother.
Badass: During her first two apperances she engages Kamille and Char at the same time with no backup and accquits herself very well. That alone qualifies her. She also shoots down Hizacks in a Nemmo while still believing herself to be "Rosammy" (who has no piloting training) and gives Kamille the scare of his life when she goes after him with the Psyco Gundam Mark II.
Psychic Powers: Another Cyber Newtype. She's powerful enough—and insane enough—to spook the Hell out of Kamille in their first encounter; he describes it as though his mind were being drawn into a great darkness. To put that in perspective, he says something very similar about Scirocco.
Psychopathic Manchild: She believes that the AEUG plan to make the sky fall. She's an adult woman with the fears of a little girl.
On the other hand, she's explicitly stated as having lived through Zeon's Colony Drop at the start of the One Year War. Being traumatized and having a phobia of similar experiences is kind of understandable.
Replacement Goldfish: Up to Eleven—if a character is of the right age, and is a powerful enough Newtype, she'll mistake them for her older brother. She does it to Kamille and has it used against her by Gates. One could argue that Kamille himself sees her as one for Four.
Villainous Valour: When Four goes AWOL, Wooder pilots the Psyco Gundam into combat himself, despite not being a Newtype and having no real idea of how to use it. At the end, with all his mobile suits shot down, and Four and the Psyco out of commission, he orders everyone off the ship, and crashes it into the Audhumla to stop it from escaping. The members of his crew who stay behind with him display similar valour.
Gates Capa
The last of the Cyber-Newtypes, Gates is seemingly cheerful young man who isn't above using his manipulative skills to get what he wants. He works closely with Bask Om and the Titans' researchers, and is Rosamia Badam's partner in the last stages of the war.
Affably Evil: Cheerful, open, and utterly dedicated to the Titans' cause. He'd be a great kid to be friends with if he weren't helping the government experiment on young girls.
Big Brother Mentor: Subverted, as Rosamia is branwashed into seeing him as one.
Boring, but Practical: He doesn't have nearly the power of Rosamia or Four, but he's also much less likely to descend into the mental breakdowns both ladies are famous for.
Flawed Prototype: His Baund Doc is the prototype that Rosamia and Jerid's models are based off of: it's notable for being the only one with a two-seater cockpit and the only one that's never seen to transform into mobile suit mode.
Enemy Mine: Initially dislikes Scirocco but eventually has his ship join up with the former's fleet. In the movies, Scirocco trusts him enough to let him come along with his other loyal retainers to the meeting with Axis.
Even Evil Has Standards: In Episode 42 he claims his ship has engine problems and can't help with the gassing of a colony.
Laser-Guided Karma: He lets Haman disable the Colony Laser then the AEUG takes it back from Haman and proceed to fire it, killing Gady and destroying his ship.
The leader of the Axis Zeon, Haman Kahn is a former 'friend' of Char Aznable, and regent to Mineva Lao Zabi. She plays both sides of the conflict against one another, before eventually siding with the Titans. She is The Big Bad of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (see ZZ's character sheet for more on that)
Improbable Age: She's only twenty years old, according to Char, which is pretty young to be leading Axis. But it becomes very clear that she's more than qualified for her position.
It's Personal: Her and Char. She also develops a major grudge towards Camille by the end.
The Man Behind the Man: Uses Mineva Zabi as a Puppet King and figurehead while she runs the show. No one's really fooled, but that doesn't matter to Haman.
Murder Is the Best Solution: Her attitude towards Jamitov. In two out of three meetings she tries to kill him - the third time, Scirocco does the job for her and lets her take the blame. Notably, she doesn't object to this.
Playing Both Sides: Haman is actively courted by both the AEUG and the Titans. She could care less about either of them, but actively plays them both to her own advantage.
Psychic Powers: She's a Newtype, like most of the other major players in Zeta. Her abilities include:
Technopath: Only in her Qubeley, and only with the aid of the Qubeley's psycommu system.
Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Played deadly seriously. Here's a hint Char—if you really did seduce a teenage girl while you were in your twenties, than you have this coming.
Regent for Life: Whether or not Haman intends to give up her position as regent or not isn't explored (as Mineva is only seven) but she certainly gives off this vibe.
Dozle Zabi's daughter, Mineva is the last living member of the Zabi family. While she appears to be the ruler of Zeon, it quickly becomes apparent that the seven year old girl is totally under the domination of her regent and Evil Chancellor, Haman Khan.
Enfante Terrible: Played with. Mineva's a child, and she's the dictatorial head of The Remnant of The Empire. Yet she's also a scared little girl who's totally dependent on Haman Khan.
