* GoingDownWithTheShip: Firmly believes in this as a matter of honor (and implicitly because he has no one to return home to). Claudia ordering them to evacuate is the final straw for him and cements his opinion of her being a terrible leader.



* IHaveYourWife: The primary reason that she works with Zeon is that her father had been arrested for his political views and her contributions to the war effort would free him.



* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Her father was a historian who was locked up by Zeon forces and its implied that Karla's forced to work for Zeon's war effort in order for her father to get out.

* ReluctantMadScientist: Karla's primary interest is in prosthetics and helping people, Zeon just found a way to weaponize that. Though it's Sexton that exhibits more of the amoral ForScience tendancies, Karla was the one with the base ideas about the linking of machines to people's brains. Karla is even the one to personally remove Darryl's remaining arm, the procedure causing her to break down crying at what she's done.

!!Fisher Nexx
!!!Voiced by: Morita Ryokai (Japanese), Chris Jai Alex (English)
->'''Pilots:''' MS-09R Rick Dom

A Zeon Sniper in the Living Dead Division.

* AnAxeToGrind: Fisher's Rick Dom utilizes a heat-hawk rather than the heat saber most other Doms use.
* ArtificialLimbs: Averted. Fisher is the only amputee in the Living Dead Division who didn't consent to the prosthetics.
* TheBigGuy: After Darryl, Fisher seems to be the most powerful pilot. He's a skilled Sniper and takes on the Guncannons and GM Cannons single-handedly, managing to win the day. His MS reflects this, with the Dom's thicker frame dwarfing the Zaku I and II's the others use.
* OneManArmy: Takes on a squadron of GM Cannons and Guncannons by himself. Granted most of the pilots were inexperienced children, but they did manage to scrap his wingman.

!!J.J. Sexton
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HiroshiTsuchida (Japanese), John DeMita (English)

A member of the Zeon Science Division working with Karla.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: During his initial tests with Darryl he's quite supportive, but he's unethical and manipulative to his core, seeing the soldiers as tools for research more than people.
* DirtyCoward: When ordered to fight to the death he freaks out and tries to find a way out. When the injured are being evacuated, he steals an escape pod from one.
* MadScientist: The experiments he performs stretch the definition of ethical and he's the one to suggest amputating Darryl's arm. That said his discussions with Karla make it clear that he credits many of the ideas to her, it's just that he's the one pushing them to their dangerous extremes.
* UncertainDoom: He gets into an escape pod and blasts out of the ship with dozens of others, only for a GM Cannon to open fire, destroying some. This is the last time Sexton is seen in the original series and his fate is left up in the air much like Claudia. [[spoiler:He and Claudia are found by the South Seas Alliance and defect to them]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: His specialty is turning "recruits" into BrainwashedAndCrazy supporters using his Cyber-Newtype abilities.

* FragileSpeedster: PlayedWith in the Psycho Zaku. It's heavily armed and armored and far more sturdy than the average High-Mobility Zaku but in an era of beam weaponry it's designed with speed and maneuverability in mind. This contrasts it nicely with the Full-Armor Gundam who's armor and shields lend it towards defense whilst the Psycho-Zaku's much larger thruster count lend it towards evasion.

Unlike Io's other companions, Bianca is in the field with him and the pair's approach to combat are contrasted. She also shares a number of traits with him like a love of Jazz.

* BadassNormal: Even before piloting the Psycho Zaku, he was noted for his superb sniping skills, to the point where a few characters question if he's a Newtype, though he is almost certainly not.



* TheLadysFavour: Karla puts her scrunchie on his right arm before piloting the Psycho Zaku in combat for the first time, which effectively makes it a form of this. He continues to wear it afterwards, though at that point it might be considered a TragicKeepsake due to Karla's mental regression.




to:

* SelfDeprecation: Tends to sell himself short when it comes to his Newtype abilities, at times outright denying he has them. It's more obvious in the manga, where his Newtype abilities are made much less explicit.

* NotSoDifferent: When his team encounter a group of Zeon soldiers who are fully prepared to blow up their mothership with the Moore Brotherhood onboard, he pleads to them to stand down because, like them, he and his friends have suffered thanks to the destruction of their home.
* WhatWereYouThinking: He calls out Io for allowing the [[SuperPrototype Atlas Gundam]] to get extensively damaged after the ''Spartan'' ran into a fight with Zeon Remnants who were using amphibious Mobile Suits. Seeing as the Atlas is essential to carrying out whatever operation Monica has planned to counter the South Seas Alliance's recent actions, it's a little justified.
