!!Lowe Guele

!!Lowe Gear

Another Natural in Lowe's Junk Guild team. She has some self-confidence problems but is a skilled mechanic and decent pilot. She harbors a crush on Lowe, to which he is oblivious. She also collects George Glenn memorabilia. She pilots a customized [=BaCUE=].

!!Hachi

A mysterious boy introduced in ''X Astray'' sent to the Junk Guild by Rev. Malchio, he is a clone, either of [[spoiler:Al da Flaga or Mu la Flaga]]. He is a skilled pilot and a highly empathic and kind boy. He pilots the Dreadnought Gundam, a prototype to the Providence, which becomes particularly important because it is equipped with an N-Jammer Canceller.

He is apparently [[spoiler:killed in his battle with Canard, but later shows up as the Supreme Librarian of Librarian Works, piloting the Nix Providence. It is unknown whether this is the actual Prayer, or a Carbon clone of him.]]

* CrazyAwesome: ''150 meter katana'', just to name the most outrageous example. He also once attached a [=BaCUE=] head to the Red Frame's hand for use as an impromptu double beam saber.

* ToyShip: While probably not romantic, he does establish a close friendship with Kazahana, since they're of similar age (among a cast primarily made of adults).

* ToyShip: With Prayer.

* CompleteMonster

* BrokenPedastal: He's something of a jokester and doesn't take much of anything seriously. Kisato is highly disappointed, as she'd imagined George Glenn to be a cool, larger-than-life figure, not this goofball. [[spoiler:He eventually calls her out on this, saying that it's unfair to expect him to be anything more than human, especially when history has played up his achievements so much. Kisato relents and resolves to give him another chance.]]

* BadassNormal: To top off what is described above, he' just a Natural. He's got no super-human abilities that Coordinator pilots have.
* CrazyAwesome: ''150 meter katana'', just to name the most outrageous example.

Her real name is unknown. A former scientist and friend of Orb's Erica Simmons. She serves as the team's leader and captain of HOME. She and Lowe seem to think on the same wavelength at times, though she is considerably more level headed.

An AI that Lowe found on board a derelict ship, which he now carries around in a briefcase-like computer. Hachi is his constant companion and co-pilot of the Red Frame, as he has Mobile Suit combat algorithms in memory in case of an attack. In ''Destiny Astray'', he is given to Jess Rabble and co-pilots the Out Frame, since he does not wish to accompany Lowe to Mars.

* HotBlooded: His personality. Kisato is highly disappointed, as she'd imagined George Glenn to be a cool guy, not this goofball.

* Badass: He manages to fight Kira Yamato in his Freedom to a draw during the Second Battle of Jacchin. Too bad the scene wasn't in the anime though it did show up in some of the other versions of the fiction.
* NotQuiteDead: Survives his final battle, but goes to live in seclusion on the PLANTS, rather than continue to be hunted by angry Earth Alliance operatives.

In ''Destiny Astray'', it is revealed that he survived his encounter with Lowe and was captured by the Earth Alliance, and brainwashed into their Extended program. As a member of Phantom Pain, he assists in stealing the prototype Gundams at the beginning of ''Destiny'', and goes after Jess Rabble and the Out Frame. Here he pilots the Testament Gundam.

The young heir apparent to his home colony, Ergnes has been Coordinated and raised for leadership all his life. He is a passionate young man who despises injustice and unfair treatment. He pilots the Δ Astray, and later the ∇ Astray ("Turn Delta").

Ergnes' assistant, and a man who was Coordinated and raised to act as a mediator. As such, he's very good at settling arguments peacefully. He is Ergnes' bodyguard during his mission to Earth, and pilots a Guardshell Mobile Armor.

A Martian Coordinator who returned with Lowe to the Earth Sphere to search for Setona Winters. He is impulsive and arrogant, and believes Martians to be superior to Earth-born humans. He briefly steals the Red Frame, but later returns it and pilots an custom M-1 Astray equipped with Lowe's "Mars Jacket" armor.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: of a more subtle variety: he is conditioned to be unfailing loyal and adoring to Setona.

* MaskPower: his helmet never comes off

* BadassAbnormal: He is a clone of Kira afterall.

* AcePilot

Another Natural in Lowe's Junk Guild team. She has some self-confidence problems but is a skilled mechanic and decent pilot. She harbors a crush on Lowe, to which he is oblivious. She also collects George Glenn memorabilia. She pilots a customized [=BaCUE=], and later Andrew Waltfeld's old [=LaGOWE=].

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:After his battle with Prayer, he calms down considerably, and lets go of his obsession with Kira. He instead goes on to found Mercenary Group X, and returns as an ally in ''Destiny Astray''.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He isn't seen after he retreats from the battle, and his home base is destroyed shortly thereafter.

In ''Vs Astray'', [[spoiler:a Carbon clone of him appears as a member of Librarian, piloting a copy of the Gold Frame, later upgraded into the Mirage Frame. Even after Librarian's defeat, he continues the fight...]]

A Martian Coordinator who returned with Lowe to the Earth Sphere to search for Setona Winters. He is impulsive and arrogant, and believes Martians to be superior to Earth-born humans. He briefly steals the Red Frame, but later returns it and pilots an custom M-1 Astray.

Unique among Librarian's Carbon Humans in that she isn't copied from any specific person, but is still instilled with enough combat knowledge and ability to make her an ace, though the process has left her mentally unstable. She pilots the Nebula Blitz Gundam, which appears to be capable of teleportation. [[spoiler:In actuality, she has a number of clones who attack together and use the Mirage Colloid to give the ''appearance'' of teleporting.]]

A wealthy industrialist with ties to LOGOS, but is actually acting as a double agent for Chairman Durandal. He was once told that he doesn't understand history, so he hires Jess Rabble to document war situations (history in the making) for him.

* SwissArmyWeapon: Use his own Tactical Arms in ''VS Astray''. Which can switch between {{BFS}}, [[TheArcher beam bow]], [[BladeBelowTheShoulder sword arm]], [[MundaneUtility working pincer]] and propulsion system.

* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He is one of the Combat Coordinator, Coordinators created by Blue Cosmos to fight other Coordinator. They were designed with superior combat traits to typical Coordinator, ignoring any other traits, and put under mind control. It's subversion, since Gai break the mind control and become mercenary.

* IdiotHero

* {{BFS}}: Equips the Blue Frame with one.
* GatlingGood

Unique among Librarian's Carbon Humans in that she isn't copied from any specific person, but is still instilled with enough combat knowledge and ability to make her an ace. She is rather mentally unstable. She pilots the Nebula Blitz Gundam, which appears to be capable of teleportation. [[spoiler:In actuality, she has a number of clones who attack together and use the Mirage Colloid to give the ''appearance'' of teleporting.]]

!! Prayer Reverie

* GatlingGood: Blue Frame Second L has one of these.

* FantasticRacism: One of the few "hero" characters who really dislikes Naturals.

* KilledOffForReal

Librarian's best pilot, a mysterious man whose face is always hidden by a mask. His true identity is unknown, although due to his age and exceptional piloting skills, he is rumored to be a Carbon clone of Kira Yamato. [[spoiler:He isn't, he's a Carbon clone of Gai Murakamo.]] He pilots the Gale Strike.

!!Rondo Gina Sahaku

A Carbon clone of the original Sahaku family head. He retains his original's aggressiveness and ruthlessness. He pilots the Astray Mirage Frame.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: The "Ame-no-Habakiri", designed as a counterpart to Lowe's Gerbera Straight. This one has Phase Shift armor coating.
* MasterOfDisguise: The Mirage Frame's main ability: it can use its Mirage Colloid to imitate the appearance of other Astrays.

!!Goud Veia

Another Carbon clone, this time of Elijah Kiel's old wingman. He has a split personality, one kind and gentle, the other murderous and violent. His DNA was also used as a template for Socius. He pilots the Vent Saviour Gundam.
----

The other combatant in Serpent Tail, Elijah is Gai's wingman and an accomplished fighter of his own. Despite being a Coordinator, he does not have the physical benefits they usually enjoy, which hurts his piloting somewhat. He pilots a custom GINN, and later a ZAKU Phantom.

* OnlySaneMan
* TheStoic

[[folder:Unaffiliated]]

!!Jess Rabble

The protagonist of ''Destiny Astray'', Jess is a freelance photojournalist. He declares himself a seeker of "the truth" and prides himself on his integrity as a journalist. He is hired by Matias Adukurf to record the various conflicts of the Bloody Valentine War, and proceeds to get caught up in a political SNAFU at the beginning of ''Seed Destiny''. He first piloted a Raysta, but was given the Astray Out Frame by Lowe as an apology for totaling his first suit (Lowe thought he was an enemy).

* ActualPacifist: He's a journalist, not a soldier. He's not above defending himself if need be, but he's not exactly good at combat.
* HotBlooded: He and Lowe just seem to click when they meet.
* IntrepidReporter: Well, he does throw himself into combat situations.


!!Kaite Madigan

An abandoned Coordinator from "Circus". He is assigned by Matias Adukurf as Jess's bodyguard. He's a very capable pilot, but will only enter the fight to protect Jess, as per his contract. He pilots a variety of ZAFT mobile suits before eventually getting the Testament Gundam, which he continues to use.

* AbusiveParents: the reason he was abandoned as a Coordinator child? His hair is two-toned.
* BadassInANiceSuit: ''Always'' wears a suit. Even when piloting.
* TheStraightMan
* WeaponOfChoice: No matter the suit he's piloting, it will be equipped with a "revolver" beam rifle and bayonet combo.

!!Matisse Adukurf

A high-ranking member of Phantom Pain who answers directly to Lord Djibril. She serves as the primary antagonist in ''Destiny Astray''.

* CrazyAwesome: His personality. Kisato is highly disappointed, as she'd imagined George Glenn to be a cool guy, not this goofball.


!Serpent Tail

A small but well-known mercenary group with a reputation for professionalism. They are true mercenaries: taking no side save the one that pays them.

!!Gai Murakamo

Leader of the Serpent Tail mercenary group, ''Astray'''s other protagonist, and an accomplished mercenary. Though he is a Coordinator, he does not side with ZAFT, instead going along with whoever pays him.

* AcePilot
* GatlingGood: Blue Frame Second L has one of these.
* WorthyOpponent: He sees Lowe as this after their initial encounter, where Lowe's creativity and determination made up for his lack of experience in a mobile suit. Since then they have a relationship of mutual respect, and will often aid one another in a crisis.

!!Elijah Kiel

The other combatant in Serpent Tail, Elijah is Gai's wingman and an accomplished fighter of his own. Despite being a Coordinator, he does not have the physical benefits they usually enjoy, which hurts his piloting somewhat. He pilots a custom GINN, and later a ZAKU Phantom.

* DisappearedDad: Her father is never mentioned, and it is unknown what became of him.
* ImprobableAge: Coordinator or not, she acts nearly twenty years older than she is. It's {{Hand Wave}}d that she's a genius on top of being a Coordinator.
