Slay also approves of the formation of the "ATX Team", headed by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlphaGaiden Major Sanger Zonvolt]]. When the L5 Campaign is underway, General Slay takes command of Operation SRW from the ''Great Ark'' flagship, but is killed by Aerogater forces during a rush towards the White Star.

A Lieutenant-Colonel at the Izu Base, 38-year old Hans Weber is one of its combat commanders. Heavily elistist in nature, Hans will do anything to advance his career before anyone else, even if it earns him the ire of multiple individuals whom he used to get ahead of. After the end of the DC War, with the appearance of the White Star, Hans flees to the aid of the Divine Crusaders so he be safely part of the long-term hibernation plans in the "Earth Cradle", a facility meant to house survivors [[ApocalypseHow in case of an end-of-the-world scenario]]. Unfortunately, he is KilledOffForReal while en-route to the Earth Cradle.

* CatchPhrase: When somebody responds to his questions, he likes to comment on whether or not he thinks it's the "[[GratuitousEnglish Best answer]]."

Lee makes his debut in ''Original Generation 2'' as captain of the rebuilt ''Shirogane''. During the war with the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Neo Divine Crusaders]]", Lee falls for a downright-obvious trap set by "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Shadow-Mirror]]" forces, and the ''Shirogane'' is captured. Lee's approached by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Vindel Mauser]] and offered a position among their ranks, which he readily accepts. As if he can't get any worse, Lee launches a surprise attack on the ''Hagane'' during the battle at the "North American Langley Base", though the combined ''Hagane'' and ''Hiryu Custom'' crews escape. When the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic Inspectors]]" and Shadow-Mirror fall back to the "White Star", [[RivalTurnedEvil Lee faces Tetsuya]], now Deputy Captain of the ''Kurogane''. As a last-ditch effort, Lee attempts to ram the ''Kurogane'' with the ''Shirogane''...except he forgets the ''Kurogane'' mounts [[ThisIsADrill A GIANT DRILL]] [[WhatAnIdiot on its bow]]. The ''Shirogane'' is shredded to pieces.

* {{Jerkass}} [[TheNeidermeyer Neidermeyer]]: Lee takes these tropes and cranks it UpToEleven and beyond. One has to wonder if he is solely created just so to be hated to death by players. If the answer's "yes", then Banpresto ''overdid'' it.

* InformedAbility: There's a reason why the fanbase calls him "a graduate of the dumbass department". His actions and tactics as an EFA captain throughout the games are wildly incompetent and rigid, with the other heroes babysitting him being the only reason he survived beyond his first actual encounter until his FaceHeelTurn. And this is not counting his asinine idea of trying to ram what is essentially a giant drill when he lost...

* StartOfDarkness: He was in Beijing with the ''Hagane'' when the Aerogaters used Mobile Weapons for the first time, during Ingram's betrayal. The result of Ingram's betrayal was the he lost his family and a big part of his hometown.

** HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In the ''Second Original Generation'', when [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationOthersAndWalkingSpoilers Arteil Steinbeck reveals himself to be Euzeth Gozzo]] and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness damages]] the ''Air Christmas'', Lee pulls this since he [[EvenEvilHasStandards still retains some standards]] by [[RammingAlwaysWorks ramming the battleship]] [[HeroicSacrifice into Euzeth's "Adamatron"]]]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: Lee complains about being late to a rendevous with the ''Hagane'' because the ''Shirogane'' is damaged in one scenario during ''Original Generation 2''. When the former does appear to offer aid, Lee criticizes [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Daitetsu Minase]] for being careless. Somehow, his duties as a soldier apparently comes first.
* InformedAbility: There's a reason why the fanbase calls him "a graduate of the dumbass department".

* IrrationalHatred: The crux of his character - deep down, Lee's just a grief stricken man who's trying to find a way to come to terms with a very tragic loss in his life, but since he copes with his pain by being a complete and utter '''asshole''' to the {{Player Character}}s, it's hard to feel pity for him, ''especially'' since his sneak attack on the ''Hagane'' during the Langley Base assault [[spoiler:leads to Captain Daitetsu's death]], at which point, any sympathy for him is rendered non-existant.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: {{Retcon}}ned by ''Original Generations''; the ''Second Original Generation'' {{Lampshades}} it.
* OutOfFocus: Lee gets less screentime in ''The Inspectors''; in fact, when he is supposed to do a FaceHeelTurn, he ''doesn't'', as if he faded into obscurity...
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Averted; ramming doesn't work when your target has a massive drill at its bow, Mr. Linjun. This man graduated ''summa cum laude'', by the way. [[spoiler:Played straight when ironically, him doing this in the ''Second Original Generation'' is what gives the Steel Dragon Battle Group their victory. It helps the ''Air Christmas'' is ''designed'' [[http://youtu.be/EtttA0UgDvM?t=1m25s to ram into things]]]].
* TheRival: A one-sided case against Tetsuya

* StartOfDarkness: He was in Beijing with the Hagane when the aerogaters used Mobile Weapons for the first time, during Ingram's betrayal. The result of Ingram's betrayal was the he lost his family and a big part of his hometown.

* FrontlineGeneral: While clearly he could have just issued orders from the headquarters, he's given the order to stay at Hagane and directly supervise there, getting caught into whatever chaos it caused. It works wonders for him because it allowed him to develop for better.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Motomu Kiyokawa

* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from an uptight military man who needs to ask for Joint Command Headquarters every single time an important decision must be made, into a more reasonable man who can see that there are decisions that have to be done on-site.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Graien believes the Earth requires a more militant government in hopes to combat extraterrestrials, hence why he sees the "Shield of Aegis" decreed by Midcrid as pointless, whereas the "Sword of Harpe" is necessary. This culminates not only with [[spoiler:[[CorruptPolitician his faction within the government toppling the current regime under Presdient Midcrid]]]], it ascends him to be next president, ultimately leading towards the creation of the Gaia Sabers by the ''Second Original Generation''.

* TheConspiracy: Hans illegally sold information about talented players in "Burning PT", an InUniverse MechaGame simulating mecha combat, to the DC, which explains how [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Ryoto Hikawa]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Tenzan Nakajima]] are scouted by the organization first. Additionally, the sabotage of the "[[TransformingMecha Wildraubtier]]" is done to prevent Federation forces from achieving a flight-capable unit

* WellIntentionedExtremist: For all his faults (which is, to say, A LOT), Lee truly has genuine concern for protecting the Earth. It's too bad [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter he tends to pick the wrong factions to serve nearly all the time]] (Neo DC, Shadow-Mirror, Gaia Sabers), mainly because of his {{Pride}} and misplaced dislike towards the heroes (see FreudianExcuse). [[spoiler:He asserts in his last moments the Steel Dragon Battle Group is the real force that could make the Earth invincible]].
