!From the main series
[[folder:George Glenn]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HideyukiHori (Japanese); Creator/MichaelDobson [Ocean dub] (English)
->''"I have a body capable of greater strengths and a brain capable of acquiring greater knowledge than a human being who was born naturally."''
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/George_Glenn_5350.jpg]]
The original Coordinator, he gained international fame and fortune excelling at basically everything ever (from professional sports to cutting-edge scientific research); he eventually revealed that his spectacular success was largely due to having been genetically engineered. He released instructions for his enhancement process to the public, inadvertently coining the term "Coordinator" at the same time. Eventually assassinated by Blue Cosmos.
In the ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamSeedAstray'' side stories it is revealed that his brain was kept alive inside the "GG Unit", a device resembling a very large futuristic boombox, which eventually came into the possession of the Junk Guild. Equipped with a holographic avatar to interact with the living, Glenn now serves as the captain of the salvage ship/Gundam carrier Re-Home.
----
* TheAce: A brief overview of the man's accomplishments: earning a [=PhD=] from MIT at 17, winning a silver medal at the Olympics, becoming a football star, an ace air force pilot, and a world-renowned aerospace engineer (in that order), travelling to Jupiter and back in a ship of his own design (releasing the information on how to make Coordinators to the public as he left), and designing the [=PLANTs=] during his free time on the trip.
* AlliterativeName: '''G'''eorge '''G'''lenn.
* BornLucky: Because he was engineered to be the best at everything during birth, you could say that his creator effectively rigged the genetic lottery in his favour.
* BornWinner: A main reason why he and all subsequent Coordinators are hated by "Naturals", as they would be given a head start many people born naturally can never have.
* BrainInAJar: More like Brain in a Capsule. When his body was killed, his mind was preserved, deemed too valuable to lose. Fortunately, the capsule contains a holographic projector and the ability for him to speak and see, averting a AndIMustScream situation.
* BrokenPedestal: George Glenn was Earth's greatest hero and has won the admiration of everyone. After his confession that he was a genetically-engineered human, many people were disgusted and look at him with contempt.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the ''SEED Astray'' series, Glenn expresses regrets over the events he started by revealing the process to make Coordinators. Resulting in racism, war and genocide. He also regrets that people took his term "coordinators" to name genetic engineered humans, since it was never meant to name a race but simply people who can lead humanity into a better future which is not related to their genes.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; he has the same first name as Flay's father, George Allster.
* PosthumousCharacter: In ''SEED'', he has been dead for several years.
* RenaissanceMan: He was skilled at absolutely everything he tried, from Olympic level sports to [=PhD=] engineering to the no-doubt extremely complicated process that creates Coordinators like himself.
* RiddleForTheAges: Who were the scientists that created George Glenn and what happened to them after the revelation that he was a Coordinator?
* TooCoolToLive: An in-universe example; people were so pissed at how awesome he was that they ''assassinated'' him!
* VirtualGhost: Though technically still alive, Glenn's only physical presence aside from the unwieldy life-support system containing his brain is an [[Series/RedDwarf Arnold Rimmer]]-style holographic projection of his old self in a captain's uniform, complete with goofy white skipper hat.

[[folder:Reverend Malchio]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuyaNakai (Japanese); Creator/BrianDrummond [Ocean dub], Creator/EthanMurray [NYAV Post dub] (English)
->''"That's what it means to be the bearer of the SEED..."''
A blind monk who is one of the few individuals trusted by both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, he acts as a mediator on the rare occasions that the two sides get along well enough to discuss anything. Among other things, he also maintains an orphanage on Earth. There is a fair bit more to him than meets the eye.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: Unless he's got the influence akin to the Pope or the Dalai Lama, it's rather confounding how a mere priest can have the network of connections and resources he does at his beck-and-call (enough for him to have an unconscious Kira flown ''all the way up to the [=PLANTs=]''). He's also the only person besides Erica Simmons (and later Durandal in ''SEED Destiny'') that seems to have any kind of knowledge of [[SuperMode "the SEED"]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: Is never seen without the look of serene bliss on his face.
* FriendToAllChildren: He took care of the orphans after all.
* GoodShepherd: He's one of many decent characters in the show and ran an orphanage on an island near Orb.
* HiddenDepths: In the exterior as a blind preacher, he is actually a powerful individual with connections and resources from all organizations (Junk Guild, PLANT, and Earth Alliance).
* NonActionGuy: He never takes part in any battle and is often the first one to be hurried off if the conflict comes to him. This allows him to be one of the few mediators between the two sides, as everyone knows he does not have any violent motives.
* ParentalSubstitute: To a whole mess of orphans.

[[folder:Al Da Flaga]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kozo Mito, Creator/ToshihikoSeki [Special Edition] (Japanese); Creator/MarkOliver [Ocean dub] (English)
->''"Laws can be changed. After all, they're only made by humans."''
Mu La Flaga's deceased father. He considered his son too unworthy to be his true heir, and is later revealed to have cloned himself in an effort to gain a more appropriate successor. He went on to deny said clone any sense of identity and lose interest in him when the clone was revealed to be physically fragile, which ended with his death in a sudden fire. Whoops.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: This is how he saw himself; whether it's because of his money or his warped belief in his "superior" genetics, Al firmly believed he was above human laws.
* AbusiveParent: Anyone who effectively disowns his young son because said son ''has his mother's genes'' is not going to win any Father of the Year awards, to say nothing of his treatment of Rau.
* ControlFreak: To the point that he disowned his own biological son for not being enough like him.
* DomesticAbuse: Cut Mu out of the will for sharing his wife's genetics. That probably qualifies him.
* FinancialAbuse: Of Mu and his wife. He held onto most of the money while they lived alone.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's Rau Le Creuset's genetic progenitor, making him indirectly responsible for most of the war escalation Rau causes at the end of ''SEED''.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not ''evil'' per se, but definitely a colossal douche.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Is dressed in a suit and tie in all of his few appearances, such as twisting Dr.Hibiki's arm into illegal cloning through the promise of funding.
* {{Narcissist}}: His style of parenting is what psychiatrists term "narcissistic abuse." He disowned Mu for daring to be something more than a vehicle for his own ego, and upon seeing his clone, the first words out of his mouth are "This is me, right?" Al seems to have been incapable of viewing people as anything more than extensions of his own personality, and that's without getting into his delusions of grandeur.
* ParentalAbandonment: He lost any interest in ''both'' of his sons when they were children.
* PosthumousCharacter: Dies years before ''SEED'' begins, but is nonetheless an enormous part of the plot, given that he not only inadvertently created the BigBad, but also funded the Ultimate Coordinator project, the process that eventually led to Kira and Cagalli's births.
* PrettyBoy: It's safe to assume he was one in his youth, considering how his younger clones Rau and Rey are textbook examples of this trope.
* {{Pride}}: In addition to being a textbook narcissist, Al's hubris knew no bounds. Le Creuset calls him out on it posthumously in a rant to Mu.
* RiddleForTheAges:
** If the few quotes we have from him are a fair representation, he honestly seems to have thought he was something more than merely human. Given that his clones Rau Le Creuset and Rey Za Burrel and his son Mu are heavily implied to be this timeline's Newtypes, perhaps there is ''some'' credibility to that claim.
** His death, and whether Rau (who was all of about ''ten'' at the time) had a hand in it, or not. Le Creuset's enjoyment of the man being dead years later isn't really proof, he never says anything definitive, and there's no official answer. Given the sort of person we know Al was, Rau is almost certainly not the first or only one who hoped for his demise.
** There is an extremely strong implication that he was a LOGOS member, but while ''SEED Destiny'' introduces LOGOS – who wear similar fancy suits at a meeting – it never confirms this.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Cloning humans is illegal. Al doesn't care.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His actions led to both the bithr of the protagonist of ''SEED'' and the creation of the BigBad of the same show.
* SmugSnake: In contrast to his sons who are respectively TheAce and one hell of a MagnificentBastard.
* {{Ubermensch}}: He certainly ''thought'' he was one, but at the end of the day he's little more than a rich creep with an ego the size of a planet.
* TheUnfettered: He was willing to do anything to get what he wants.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Whilst he never saw the results of his narcissistic desire to secure his legacy via cloning, his actions resulted in a collossal amount of damage.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: Weirdly, the first time we see his face is in a picture Rau tosses Mu's way -- Al with a young Mu playing on his shoulders. While he is pretty much the definition of a terrible parent, they both look happy in the photo -- showing that Al was able to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity appear like a normal human and decent parent]] for ''some'' stretch of time despite his dismissals, machinations, and eventual double life. Mu doesn't have fond memories of him, but is still completely shocked on learning what his father was really capable of.

!!Junk Guild
The Junk Guild is a large salvage organization made up of both Coordinators and Naturals, active both on Earth and in space. They are also hired on occasion to conduct repairs or for construction projects. They are completely neutral in any and all wars, and, theoretically, it is illegal throughout the Earth Sphere to attack a Junk Guild ship. Nonetheless, many Junk Guild ships possess weapons to defend themselves, and should not be underestimated.

* HotBlooded: He and Lowe just seem to click when they meet.
* IntrepidReporter: Well, he does throw himself into combat situations.
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: The Out Frame is the sister unit to one of ZAFT's next-generation Gundams, the Testament, making it one of the most advanced mobile suits around. Lowe got his hands on the Testament's spare parts when he found them within GENESIS Alpha, and cobbled together a non-nuclear copy of it. It is also capable of equipping ''any'' of the {{Mecha Expansion Pack}}s in the series: the Striker units, the Impulse's Silhouettes, the ZAKU Wizards, and even the Astray series Tactical Arms. Jess uses it for journalism and as a mobile home.

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.
He later shows up in ''Vs Astray'' as a member of Librarian Works. He pilots a Regen Duel Gundam.

!From the main series
[[folder:George Glenn]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HideyukiHori (Japanese); Creator/MichaelDobson [Ocean dub] (English)
->''"I have a body capable of greater strengths and a brain capable of acquiring greater knowledge than a human being who was born naturally."''
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/George_Glenn_5350.jpg]]
The original Coordinator, he gained international fame and fortune excelling at basically everything ever (from professional sports to cutting-edge scientific research); he eventually revealed that his spectacular success was largely due to having been genetically engineered. He released instructions for his enhancement process to the public, inadvertently coining the term "Coordinator" at the same time. Eventually assassinated by Blue Cosmos.
In the ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamSeedAstray'' side stories it is revealed that his brain was kept alive inside the "GG Unit", a device resembling a very large futuristic boombox, which eventually came into the possession of the Junk Guild. Equipped with a holographic avatar to interact with the living, Glenn now serves as the captain of the salvage ship/Gundam carrier Re-Home.
----
* TheAce: A brief overview of the man's accomplishments: earning a [=PhD=] from MIT at 17, winning a silver medal at the Olympics, becoming a football star, an ace air force pilot, and a world-renowned aerospace engineer (in that order), travelling to Jupiter and back in a ship of his own design (releasing the information on how to make Coordinators to the public as he left), and designing the [=PLANTs=] during his free time on the trip.
* AlliterativeName: '''G'''eorge '''G'''lenn.
* BornLucky: Because he was engineered to be the best at everything during birth, you could say that his creator effectively rigged the genetic lottery in his favour.
* BornWinner: A main reason why he and all subsequent Coordinators are hated by "Naturals", as they would be given a head start many people born naturally can never have.
* BrainInAJar: More like Brain in a Capsule. When his body was killed, his mind was preserved, deemed too valuable to lose. Fortunately, the capsule contains a holographic projector and the ability for him to speak and see, averting a AndIMustScream situation.
* BrokenPedestal: George Glenn was Earth's greatest hero and has won the admiration of everyone. After his confession that he was a genetically-engineered human, many people were disgusted and look at him with contempt.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the ''SEED Astray'' series, Glenn expresses regrets over the events he started by revealing the process to make Coordinators. Resulting in racism, war and genocide. He also regrets that people took his term "coordinators" to name genetic engineered humans, since it was never meant to name a race but simply people who can lead humanity into a better future which is not related to their genes.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; he has the same first name as Flay's father, George Allster.
* PosthumousCharacter: In ''SEED'', he has been dead for several years.
* RenaissanceMan: He was skilled at absolutely everything he tried, from Olympic level sports to [=PhD=] engineering to the no-doubt extremely complicated process that creates Coordinators like himself.
* RiddleForTheAges: Who were the scientists that created George Glenn and what happened to them after the revelation that he was a Coordinator?
* TooCoolToLive: An in-universe example; people were so pissed at how awesome he was that they ''assassinated'' him!
* VirtualGhost: Though technically still alive, Glenn's only physical presence aside from the unwieldy life-support system containing his brain is an [[Series/RedDwarf Arnold Rimmer]]-style holographic projection of his old self in a captain's uniform, complete with goofy white skipper hat.

[[folder:Reverend Malchio]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuyaNakai (Japanese); Creator/BrianDrummond [Ocean dub], Creator/EthanMurray [NYAV Post dub] (English)
->''"That's what it means to be the bearer of the SEED..."''
A blind monk who is one of the few individuals trusted by both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, he acts as a mediator on the rare occasions that the two sides get along well enough to discuss anything. Among other things, he also maintains an orphanage on Earth. There is a fair bit more to him than meets the eye.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: Unless he's got the influence akin to the Pope or the Dalai Lama, it's rather confounding how a mere priest can have the network of connections and resources he does at his beck-and-call (enough for him to have an unconscious Kira flown ''all the way up to the [=PLANTs=]''). He's also the only person besides Erica Simmons (and later Durandal in ''SEED Destiny'') that seems to have any kind of knowledge of [[SuperMode "the SEED"]].
* EyesAlwaysShut: Is never seen without the look of serene bliss on his face.
* FriendToAllChildren: He took care of the orphans after all.
* GoodShepherd: He's one of many decent characters in the show and ran an orphanage on an island near Orb.
* HiddenDepths: In the exterior as a blind preacher, he is actually a powerful individual with connections and resources from all organizations (Junk Guild, PLANT, and Earth Alliance).
* NonActionGuy: He never takes part in any battle and is often the first one to be hurried off if the conflict comes to him. This allows him to be one of the few mediators between the two sides, as everyone knows he does not have any violent motives.
* ParentalSubstitute: To a whole mess of orphans.

[[folder:Al Da Flaga]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kozo Mito, Creator/ToshihikoSeki [Special Edition] (Japanese); Creator/MarkOliver [Ocean dub] (English)
->''"Laws can be changed. After all, they're only made by humans."''
Mu La Flaga's deceased father. He considered his son too unworthy to be his true heir, and is later revealed to have cloned himself in an effort to gain a more appropriate successor. He went on to deny said clone any sense of identity and lose interest in him when the clone was revealed to be physically fragile, which ended with his death in a sudden fire. Whoops.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: This is how he saw himself; whether it's because of his money or his warped belief in his "superior" genetics, Al firmly believed he was above human laws.
* AbusiveParent: Anyone who effectively disowns his young son because said son ''has his mother's genes'' is not going to win any Father of the Year awards, to say nothing of his treatment of Rau.
* ControlFreak: To the point that he disowned his own biological son for not being enough like him.
* DomesticAbuse: Cut Mu out of the will for sharing his wife's genetics. That probably qualifies him.
* FinancialAbuse: Of Mu and his wife. He held onto most of the money while they lived alone.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's Rau Le Creuset's genetic progenitor, making him indirectly responsible for most of the war escalation Rau causes at the end of ''SEED''.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not ''evil'' per se, but definitely a colossal douche.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Is dressed in a suit and tie in all of his few appearances, such as twisting Dr.Hibiki's arm into illegal cloning through the promise of funding.
* {{Narcissist}}: His style of parenting is what psychiatrists term "narcissistic abuse." He disowned Mu for daring to be something more than a vehicle for his own ego, and upon seeing his clone, the first words out of his mouth are "This is me, right?" Al seems to have been incapable of viewing people as anything more than extensions of his own personality, and that's without getting into his delusions of grandeur.
* ParentalAbandonment: He lost any interest in ''both'' of his sons when they were children.
* PosthumousCharacter: Dies years before ''SEED'' begins, but is nonetheless an enormous part of the plot, given that he not only inadvertently created the BigBad, but also funded the Ultimate Coordinator project, the process that eventually led to Kira and Cagalli's births.
* PrettyBoy: It's safe to assume he was one in his youth, considering how his younger clones Rau and Rey are textbook examples of this trope.
* {{Pride}}: In addition to being a textbook narcissist, Al's hubris knew no bounds. Le Creuset calls him out on it posthumously in a rant to Mu.
* RiddleForTheAges:
** If the few quotes we have from him are a fair representation, he honestly seems to have thought he was something more than merely human. Given that his clones Rau Le Creuset and Rey Za Burrel and his son Mu are heavily implied to be this timeline's Newtypes, perhaps there is ''some'' credibility to that claim.
** His death, and whether Rau (who was all of about ''ten'' at the time) had a hand in it, or not. Le Creuset's enjoyment of the man being dead years later isn't really proof, he never says anything definitive, and there's no official answer. Given the sort of person we know Al was, Rau is almost certainly not the first or only one who hoped for his demise.
** There is an extremely strong implication that he was a LOGOS member, but while ''SEED Destiny'' introduces LOGOS – who wear similar fancy suits at a meeting – it never confirms this.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Cloning humans is illegal. Al doesn't care.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His actions led to both the bithr of the protagonist of ''SEED'' and the creation of the BigBad of the same show.
* SmugSnake: In contrast to his sons who are respectively TheAce and one hell of a MagnificentBastard.
* {{Ubermensch}}: He certainly ''thought'' he was one, but at the end of the day he's little more than a rich creep with an ego the size of a planet.
* TheUnfettered: He was willing to do anything to get what he wants.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Whilst he never saw the results of his narcissistic desire to secure his legacy via cloning, his actions resulted in a collossal amount of damage.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: Weirdly, the first time we see his face is in a picture Rau tosses Mu's way -- Al with a young Mu playing on his shoulders. While he is pretty much the definition of a terrible parent, they both look happy in the photo -- showing that Al was able to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity appear like a normal human and decent parent]] for ''some'' stretch of time despite his dismissals, machinations, and eventual double life. Mu doesn't have fond memories of him, but is still completely shocked on learning what his father was really capable of.

----
* AbusiveParent: How abusive? When he needed a test subject for the project, he used ''one of his own developing embryos''... Kira Yamato.
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Implied. In the one shot of him stressing over his research, there is an ashtray on his desk permeated with cigarette butts.
* DomesticAbuse: If you think that refusing to return your developing child for a science experiment qualifies you, then yes.
* DrJerk: A plaque in the Mendel Colony shows that Dr. Hibiki was also an MD.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Whether it's this or PragmaticVillainy, he's still the one who points out to Al Da Flaga that cloning him would be illegal. Implying that he only agreed to do so [[OnlyInItForTheMoney to receive the funding he needed]].
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Not only did he work on the Ultimate Coordinator project, but he is also the one who cloned Rau Le Creuset.
* ForScience: His motivation is progress for its own sake.
* MadScientist: Had no problem using his children for science.
* PetTheDog: Dr. Hibiki may have had at least some consideration for his family; he thought he would be giving his son the best life possible by making him the Ultimate Coordinator and the photo of his wife embracing their infant children implied that he trusted Via to hold his greatest scientific achievement and their son, Kira.
* PosthumousCharacter: Long dead before ''SEED'' starts.
* TheUnfettered: Nothing will stop him from getting things done, even if it's repulsive.

* GiveHimANormalLife: She tells her younger sister Caridad to take Kira and Cagalli in, before she dies alongside Ulen and Al Da Flaga.

* {{Nephewism}}: Caridad and Haruma are in reality Kira's (and Cagalli's) aunt and uncle respectively.

!!Junk Guild
The Junk Guild is a large salvage organization made up of both Coordinators and Naturals, active both on Earth and in space. They are also hired on occasion to conduct repairs or for construction projects. They are completely neutral in any and all wars, and, theoretically, it is illegal throughout the Earth Sphere to attack a Junk Guild ship. Nonetheless, many Junk Guild ships possess weapons to defend themselves, and should not be underestimated.

* DelicateAndSickly: Just like Rau Le Creuset and Rey Za Burrel, [[spoiler:he has shortened telomeres and his health is getting worse through ''X Astray''. He is so sickly he is able to fake his own death [[DiedInYourArmsTonight while Canard is holding him]] at the end of that manga to reappear in ''Vs Astray''... [[AmbiguousSituation maybe]]]].
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If that really is him in Librarian and not a Carbon clone.]] Actually, [[spoiler:he is more of a TheMole as he actually doesn't agree with the Librarian's aims and when he battled Gai, Lowe and Canard, he was trying to prove that Carbon Humans can't be used as soldiers]].
* ForcedIntoEvil: [[spoiler:The librarian used his genes to be able to get "Sir Matias' Legacy" and then created him."]]
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:His ''Vs Astray'' incarnation.]]

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Able to block a beam shot by hitting it with another beam shot.

!!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.

[[folder:Gai Murakamo]]
!!!'''Voice Actor: Creator/KazuhikoInoue'''
Leader of the Serpent Tail mercenary group, ''Astray'''s other protagonist, and an accomplished mercenary.

[[folder:Elijah Kiel]]
!!!'''Voice Actor: Creator/KatsumiToriumi'''
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.
----
* HonorBeforeReason: Continues piloting his outdated GINN well into ''Destiny'', because it has sentimental value. He only upgrades to the ZAKU when the GINN is irreparably damaged.

!!Mars Colonies
A small group of colonies established in orbit around Mars. As they are very recently constructed, they are not entirely self-sufficient, and are often low on resources. Some Mars colonies have even begun to follow a plan similar to Durandal's Destiny Plan (in order to make the most efficient use of their limited human resources), and it is implied that they are where he got the idea. They are not interested in Earth's wars, but do send a delegation at the outbreak of the Second Bloody Valentine War to determine exactly what the political situation is.

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 Ergnes' sister.
* FantasticRacism: His belief in Martian superiority
[[/folder]]
!!Librarian Works
The antagonists of ''Vs Astray'', Librarian is a secret society that attacks the Earth Sphere following the conclusion of the Second Bloody Valentine War. They seek to cause a third war and overthrow Lacus and Cagalli, as they believe they are ill-suited to ruling the Earth Sphere.

[[folder:Goud Veia]]
!!!'''Voice Actor: Creator/TetsuShiratori'''
Another Carbon clone, this time of Elijah Kiel's old friend. 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.
----
* AxCrazy: his violent side, which kills indiscriminately.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Twice over, if you count his original.]]

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lily Thevalley]]
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.

!!Jess Rabble
!!!'''Voice Actor: Creator/YujiUeda'''
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.
----
* 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.
* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: The Out Frame is the sister unit to one of ZAFT's next-generation Gundams, the Testament, making it one of the most advanced mobile suits around. Lowe got his hands on the Testament's spare parts when he found them within GENESIS Alpha, and cobbled together a non-nuclear copy of it. It is also capable of equipping ''any'' of the {{Mecha Expansion Pack}}s in the series: the Striker units, the Impulse's Silhouettes, the ZAKU Wizards, and even the Astray series Tactical Arms. Jess uses it for journalism and as a mobile home.

A 13-year-old Coordinator girl who often travels with Jess and Kaite. Her origins are a mystery, as she was picked up in suspended animation in orbit by a Junk Guild ship. She is extremely polite and friendly with most everyone.
----
* {{Expy}}: She has tons of similarities to Lacus Clyne, but lacks any of the political power Lacus wields.
* MysteriousPast: Revealed in ''Delta Astray'': [[spoiler:she is the older sister of Ergnes Brahe, future leader of the Mars colonies, and was intended to be the public face of Mars. Due to her suspended animation, she is now biologically younger than her brother.]]
