15!!!Voiced by: Creator/YukaTerasaki (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)
16[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_civilians_kudelia_aina_bernstein.png]]
17
18An idealistic young woman from a rich family, whose impassioned humanitarian arguments for Martian independence have made her a symbol for the movement. She seeks independence for the Martian city of Chryse, and CGS is hired to escort her to Earth for unofficial negotiations.
19----
20* AbusiveParents: Her parents were willing to sell her out to Gjallerhorn. [[spoiler: She herself is not a bad parent, as she’s the godmother to Mikazuki and Atra’s child and clearly loves him.]]
21* AmbiguouslyBi: She is interested in Mikazuki from the start. However, she goes very close to Atra over the course of the series. [[spoiler:In Episode 47, she shows an interest in having a threesome relationship with Atra and Mikazuki. Following Mikazuki's death, she and Atra get married and are raising Atra and Mikazuki's son, Akatsuki, and they appear to be HappilyMarried.]]
22-->'''Kudelia''': I love him. Mikazuki. But not only Mikazuki. Miss Atra, and everyone else in Tekkadan too.
23* AwesomeByAnalysis: In episode 22 she says that she studies and does research whenever possible and this results in her discovering a possible Gjallhorn ambush and a way around it; neither of which Mankanai had thought of. At the same time, she gives him advice on how to increase his chances of being re-elected Prime Minister based on what she learned about the Arbrau's political system and the current power players.
24* BadassPacifist: [[spoiler: She called out Gjallarhorn's FalseFlagOperation in [[DoNotAdjustYourSet a live broadcast across the worlds,]] a move that puts the Gjallarhorn forces in a political checkmate. Attack, and they would have to deal with an even worse political fallout. Stand down, and Tekkadan walks free. Gjallarhorn chose the latter.]]
25* BenevolentBoss: Strictly speaking, she is Tekkadan's ''client'' rather than their boss but she is certainly benevolent; NiceToTheWaiter and throwing in free literacy lessons in addition to the escort fee.
26* BigGood: Tekkadan's employer in Season 1, and the "Maiden of Revolution" who acts as the face of the Mars Independence movement. At the end of Season 2, [[spoiler:she's elected head of state of the newly independent Mars]].
27* DeclarationOfProtection: To Mikazuki and Atra [[spoiler:and their unborn child.]]
28* EnemyMine:
29** In episode 17, [[spoiler: she decides to go to Nobliss for help getting her message broadcast through Gjallarhorn's media control, even though she now knows that Nobliss has been trying to kill her and that Nobliss's schemes killed Fumitan.]]
30** At the end of the series, [[spoiler:she cosigns a treaty with [[BigBad Rustal Elion]] banning the use of human debris]].
31* {{Expy}}: True to many Gundam series, she's one of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Relena Darlian]], being a politically-active young noblewoman and a LoveInterest for the male lead.
32* FeminineWomenCanCook: Inverted. Kudelia is very feminine, but doesn't even know how to cut vegetables, let alone cook. Since she's from an upper-class background and her servants cooked for her, it comes to no surprise.
33* FirstKiss: [[spoiler: With Mikazuki at the end of episode 13.]] She is quite flustered afterwards and looks to her surrogate big sister for advice afterward.
34* FriendToAllChildren: One of her strongest points for going to Earth and arguing for independence is because children are the ones suffering the most. Her negative reaction to the augmentation of Mikazuki was in part due to this.
35* FullNameBasis: She is rarely addressed as "Ms. Bernstein" and never as "Kudelia Bernstein", only as Kudelia or Kudelia Aina Bernstein. No explanation is given as to why including her middle name is so important.
36* GuileHero: She's a good-hearted person with admirable political goals, but is perfectly willing to play {{Realpolitik}} in order to advance them.
37* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Arguably the most morally straight character alongside Atra and is a blonde.
38* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: WordOfGod confirmed that Kudelia and Atra are married by the end of the show, but it's unclear if the two of them [[LesYay fell in love]] or if they're just trying to give Akatsuki a stable home.]]
39* HartmanHips: Good LORD, this girl is almost 30% thigh. Any time she is facing the camera, it's extremely hard not to notice that her hips are seemingly double the width of her upper body.
40* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She often bemoans how useless she is at actually preventing more death both caused by and directed toward Tekkadan, the deaths caused in pursuit of capturing her, and her own insecurities on actually being the beacon of hope she wants to be.
41* HonestCorporateExecutive: Founds the Admoss Company in between Seasons 1 and 2, and puts some of the profit she gains from it towards helping to solve her chosen political causes.
42* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Despite not officially being a member, Mikazuki considers Kudelia to be a member of Tekkadan just as much as everyone else.
43* HopeBringer: Her goal is be a beacon of hope for the people of Mars to make their lives better. She later discovers that she has already become one for the Dort colonies. She explicitly talks about "becoming hope" when Fumitan shows her a picture of another "Maiden of Revolution" in a book.
44* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: A variant. She loves Mikazuki, but doesn't mind "sharing" him with Atra and cares for her as well. [[AmbiguouslyBi Then again]]...
45* ImprobableAge: According to Gjallarhorn's dossier on Kudelia, she has a college degree despite being only 16 years old. [[spoiler: In the finale, Kudelia becomes the leader of the newly independent Mars in her early twenties.]]
46* ItsAllMyFault: Blames herself for the attack on CGS, noting they were there for her.
47* {{Leitmotif}}: "Lady Kudelia".
48* LadyAndKnight: In the eyes of the Dort colony unions, she and Tekkedan are precisely this; "The Maiden of Revolution and the brave knights who guard her". Eugene remarks how they're treated like heroes because of it.
49* LivingMacGuffin: Tekkadan wants to bring her to Earth so she can begin her negotiations, while Nobliss Gordon wants to turn her into a martyr to legitimize the independence movement. Fareed is shown later to have his own plans for her that require her to live. At least for now.
50* LuminescentBlush: Whenever her interactions with Mikazuki get a little too awkward.
51* MaleGaze: The camera occasionally gives a shot where Kudelia's behind is front and center. DependingOnTheArtist, her glutes vary from being rather moderate in size to reaching supermodel HartmanHips levels. And it seems the fandom prefers the latter interpretation.
52* NiceGirl: Kudelia is kind and pleasant to everyone. She always tries to help people around her and treat her employees well.
53* NiceToTheWaiter: She is nothing if not respectful to and appreciative of Tekkadan's members and even helps Atra distribute meals.
54* NomDeGuerre: The Maiden Of The Revolution. [[spoiler: Justified, as Nobliss is pulling strings to turn her into a martyr]].
55* NonIdleRich: Despite her family's wealth, she has always felt bad about the poverty-stricken lower classes of Mars, and does everything she can to help them. At first, this mostly consists of political rallies and speeches, but by Season 2 she's also founded the Admoss Mining Company, intended to help revitalize the Martian economy.
56** By the end of the series, [[spoiler: she's the head of the Martian Union and has solidified the abolition of the Human Debris culture.]]
57* {{Ojou}}: An upper-class young woman with a HimeCut, who also leads the Martian independence movement. She's referred to (in the original Japanese dialog, of course) directly by this term when her name isn't being used.
58* OutOfFocus: While she's still an important supporting character, Kudelia is no longer the focus of the central conflict in Season 2 like she was in the first season and instead sits on the sidelines. Justified due to Tekkadan finding a new employer and making several risky moves, which eventually result in [[spoiler:Tekkadan having to cut Kudelia off to avoid her being dragged into the crossfire]].
59* ParentalBetrayal: Her father set her up to die by telling Gjallarhorn where she would be when the mission itself was secret. She suspects he was behind it rather quickly, but doesn't want to go back until she's confirmed it. Later on, she confesses she can't trust either of her parents.
60* {{Realpolitik}}: While a principled and kind-hearted person herself, Kudelia is pragmatic enough to work with unsavory figures, including people she should by all means have grudges against, if it furthers her political causes. [[spoiler:Her live TV broadcast deal with Nobliss and Human Debris treaty with Rustal]] being two examples.
61* RebelLeader: More diplomat than general, but one of the leaders of the Independence movement nonetheless.
62* ShamingTheMob: [[spoiler: Tekkadan is surrounded by Gjallarhorn forces after the FalseFlagOperation that led to the Dort massacre, complete with a BolivianArmyEnding for the episode. Then Kudelia asked for a favor from Nobliss and the news crew aboard Isaribi and called out Gjallarhorn's actions in a [[DoNotAdjustYourSet live broadcast across the world.]] Noticing an even worse potential political fallout, Gjallarhorn backed off. What they couldn't defeat by violence, she paralyzed with a speech.]]
63* ShelteredAristocrat: While this was enforced by her rich parents who tried to raise her in a bubble isolated from the injustice experienced by the lower classes, Kudelia herself has long tried to defy her sheltered upbringing. From a young age, she cared about the poor and oppressed, constantly asking Fumitan to help her find out more about how they lived. At the same time, learning second hand about the cruelty of the social order can't prepare her for how shocking it is in person to visit the slums of Mars, or learn how the {{Child Soldier}}s of CGS undergo horrific surgery to implant the Alaya-Vijnana system in their bodies. Her CharacterDevelopment has her go from well-meaning but sheltered in the beginning, to more experienced and determined by the end of Season 1.
64* ShipTease: With Mikazuki. [[spoiler: She had her first kiss with him in episode 13.]]
65* SpiritedYoungLady: Upper-class? Check. Confident, bold, and self-assured? Certainly seems that way. Rebellious? She ''leads'' the Martian independence movement. She goes out of her way to try and help out more at CGS, though she's often met with resistance.
66* SenseiChan: She becomes the teacher for the young Tekkadan workers including Mikazuki on how to read and write.
67* StatuesqueStunner: In her late teens in all likelihood - towers over the mid-teens Atra and Mika and most of the other Tekkadan boys and is, of course, also very pretty.
68* TragicKeepsake:
69** [[spoiler: She honors Fumitan's memory by wearing the necklace she bought for Fumitan along with her matching necklace.]]
70** [[spoiler: She honors Mikazuki and Tekkadan by wearing earrings in the shape of their emblem.]]
71* {{Tritagonist}}: She's the third most important character in Season 1, behind Mikazuki and Orga. She cedes the role to [=McGillis=] in Season 2, though she remains a prominent supporting character.
72* UnwittingPawn: Kudelia is being used this way by several different people, given that she has relatively little actual power but an outsized influence with parts of the public. [[spoiler: Nobliss Gordon, her nominal supporter, is using her to whip up support for a violent revolution for his own purposes, despite her wish for a peaceful resolution to the problems they're facing]].
73* WideEyedIdealist: Kudelia started out like this. She was full of optimism and had high hope that conflicts could be resolved easily. As the series went, she leaned more [[TheIdealist toward realism]] and her eyes became smaller in the second season.
74* YouAreNotAlone: After the events of episode 16 and 17, both Mikazuki and Atra told her that they'll help her and her revolution for Mars independence, which made Kudelia cry TearsOfJoy.

82----
83* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: They like to receive this from their brother.
84* BigBrotherWorship: They seem to look up to their brother without reservation.
85* CheerfulChild: These two are really cheerful, possibly more so that Atra.
86* IdenticalTwinIDTag: They tend to do their hair ''and'' their clothing differently.
87* IdiotHair: One thing they do have in common.
88* PluckyComicRelief: Easily discerning them from the standard role of [[ChildrenAreInnocent kids]] in ''Gundam.''
89* PolarOppositeTwins: One of them is rather reserved while the other is outspoken, but they look pretty much the same.
90* PunnyName: Shares the EdibleThemeNaming with their brother.
91* StepfordSmiler: In season 2, despite now attending a prestigious boarding school and resembling their usual cheery selves, they're not as over their older brother's death as they seem. When one of their classmates starts talking about how Biscuit was a hero who died for Mars, Cookie balls her hand into a fist, only for it to be quietly taken by Cracker in a reassuring gesture. Later when a car blows up on their way back to Tekkadan HQ with Mika and Atra, they start begging Mika not to fight when he wants to go investigate.
92* {{Trolling}}: Rather than take the role of ShipperOnDeck for [=MikaDelia=] or [=AtraZuki=], they prefer to ''literally'' play both sides.
93[[/folder]]
94
95[[folder:Savarin Canele]]
96!!!Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeHirakawa (Japanese), Creator/ChrisNiosi (English)
97Biscuit's elder brother, he's a worker in Dort colonies. Everyone thinks he lucked out due to being adopted by the Canele family (hence the difference in surname)... or did he?
98----
99* AloofBigBrother: Ever since he went to school and graduated, he doesn't communicate with his siblings for a long time until Biscuit visited Dort 3.
100* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Shortly after his union chief's death, he hanged himself.]]
101* EdibleThemeNaming: Savarin is a type of cake. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canel%C3%A9 So is canele]].
102* InkSuitActor: Chris Niosi almost resembles Savarin, to the point of having the same hairstyle.
103* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: His actions ended up being one of the lead causes for the Dort massacre, and when the full realization of it all hits home he can do nothing but stand beside his former boss' corpse asking for forgiveness]].
104* PromotedToParent: Biscuit notes that for a brief amount of time after their parents died, Savarin was the parental figure for Cookie, Cracker, and Biscuit. Apparently it was also his idea to send them to live with their grandmother so they could live a better life.
105[[/folder]]

107[[folder:Fumitan Admoss]]
108!!!Voiced by: Creator/YumiUchiyama (Japanese), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (English)
109[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_civilians_fumitan_admoss.png]]
110
111Kudelia's loyal servant. Due to her technical skills, she offers her services to Tekkadan as a communications officer.
112----
113* BecomingTheMask: She was placed with Kudelia by [[spoiler: Nobliss in order to spy on her]], but gradually came to legitimately care for her.
114* BigOlEyebrows: Her eyebrows are noticeably thicker than the rest of the female cast's, accentuating her gravity and seriousness.
115* BridgeBunny: With her knowledge on telecommunications, she was asked to join the Tekkadan's crew in the ''Isaribi''. [[spoiler: This is the first hint that there is something off about her, as an attendant/maid of a rich young lady like Kudelia wouldn't normally have such skills.]]
116* CompositeCharacter: Of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Shirin Bahktiar and Anew Returner]]. Like the former, she serves as Kudelia's advisor and confidant, the same way Shirin is to Marina Ismail. Like the latter, both of them are prominent to one of the heroes (Anew to Lyle and Fumitan to Kudelia), [[spoiler: unaware that they are TheMole, but they grew to legitimately care for them and their comrades and sacrifice themselves so they may keep living.]]
117* CoolBigSis: Kudelia looks to her as an older sister-like figure, especially considering [[ParentalBetrayal her actual family sold her out]], and often goes to her for personal advice.
118* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:She gets substantially more focus in the episodes leading up to her demise.]]
119* GiantPoofySleeves: Takes her cue from 1890s fashion by wearing shirts and jackets with sleeves that are padded below the shoulder.
120* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Shields Kudelia from a sniper with her own body, telling her not to move and holding herself over Kudelia for as long as she can until she collapses dead]].
121* HiddenDepths: Everyone was taken by surprise when the usually quiet and refined Fumitan was able to bypass the monitored comms of Gjallarrhorn and send an encrypted message to Teiwaz using unconventional means.
122* TheMole: [[spoiler: She is actually spying on Kudelia for Nobliss.]] By the time this is revealed to the audience, she's clearly having second thoughts about it.
123* NotSoAboveItAll: Fumitan maintains a constant straight face, but can't resist giggling when Kudelia comes to her for love advice after Mikazuki kissed her.
124* NotSoStoic: Episode 14 shows her starting to lose her composure [[spoiler: over the guilt of knowing that Kudelia will be assassinated in the colony]].
125* ParentalSubstitute: Considering how awful Kudelia's parents are, she kinda has to be this.
126* PerpetualFrowner: Wears a stoic frown as her default expression and hardly ever smiles.
127* PrimAndProperBun: Keeps her hair piled up with a bun on top, which expresses her businesslike and dignified demeanor.
128* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Redeems herself for having betrayed Kudelia by ruining the assassins' plans at the cost of her own life.]] She was a loyal guardian after all.
129* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Wears glasses, and is later revealed to be knowledgeable when it comes to telecommunications.
130* TheStoic: To the extent that she suffers OnlyAFleshWound after the first Gjallarhorn attack, and remains rather nonplussed.
131* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: Leaps in the path of a sniper's bullet to protect Kudelia, receiving a fatal wound in the process]].
132[[/folder]]
133
134[[folder:Almiria Bauduin]]
135[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/almiriabauduin.png]]
136!!!Voiced by: Creator/AiKakuma (Japanese), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (English)
137
138Gaelio's nine-year old sister and [=McGillis'=] fiancée. She is to marry him when she's old enough.
139----
140* ACupAngst: Becomes very upset about her lack of T&A compared to the grown women at the party that she goes to with [=McGillis=] since it reminds her that she's still only a child compared to him.
141* AdvertisedExtra: She appears more prominently in the openings of Season 2, which indicates that she might have an important role in the story. [[spoiler:Turns out that she had very few screentime and among her scenes, the one that stands out is when she voiced her disappointment to [=McGillis=] for what he did to her brother and tried to kill herself until he stopped her. When the show ended, nothing's been heard about her]].
142* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Cries in [=McGillis'=] arms when she learns of the death of her beloved older brother Gaelio. When she learns that [=McGillis=] was the one who killed him, she attempts suicide.]]
143* CheerfulChild: Not even a teenager yet, she behaves with endearing happiness whenever around [=McGillis=].
144* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: She tries to stab herself in the neck after she learns that [=McGillis=] killed Gaelio, but can't bring herself to kill him to avenge her brother. [[InterruptedSuicide [=McGillis=] stops her]].]]
145* InsecureLoveInterest: Even though she's trying so hard to become a perfect wife for [=McGillis=] by learning the skills of a ProperLady, she is deeply hurt by the disparaging gossip about [=McGillis=] being engaged to a minor like her, and fears that he will never find her as attractive as women his own age. His response is to reassure her that she's special to him.
146* JailBaitWait: Engaged to [=McGillis=], but they have to wait for several years before she's legally old enough. People talk behind their backs about how [=McGillis=] is robbing the cradle. Takes an even more disturbing twist when [=McGillis=] secures her loyalty by implying he'll be able to skip the wait once his plans come to fruition.
147* MealTicket: Inverted: [=McGillis=] was arranged to marry her in order to cut off his prospects for advancement. [[spoiler: However, [=McGillis=] reveals in ep. 25 that if both Carta and Gaelio are dead, his marriage to Almiria suddenly becomes a lot more advantageous.]]
148* NiceGirl: Very kind and polite Having such mannerisms is necessary to be a Proper Lady after all.
149* PrecociousCrush: Has a very obvious one on [=McGillis=], who is at least fifteen years her senior, and looks forward to being his wife. This gets much more disturbing when he starts encouraging it to ensure that he still has a lock on her inheritance.
150* ProperLady: She prides herself in being one. Her older brother disagrees. Her quest to be a Proper Lady involves learning to make tea, never mind the whole Seven Stars of Gjallarhorn ancestry.
151* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Her InterruptedSuicide leaves a wound on [=McGillis'=] hand by having his hand impaled by a dagger, which catches up when he's fighting against Gaelio. It takes Isurugi's HeroicSacrifice to save him from getting finished off by Gaelio.]]
152* TokenMiniMoe: Not counting Cookie & Cracker Griffon and Ride Mass, she's one of the youngest characters in the series.
153* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler: Once she's calmed down from her InterruptedSuicide, she decides to continue to trust and wait for [=McGillis=], citing that she's his wife]].
154* UnwittingPawn: She's the innocent nine-year-old heir to one of the most powerful families in the solar system, and is engaged to a ruthless schemer well over twice her age. This should come as no surprise.
155* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Almira is noticeably absent from the epilogue. This is made all the stranger by her husband's death, and Gaelio's survival. However, it's likely she was institutionalized.]]
156[[/folder]]
157
158[[folder:Nobliss Gordon]]
159!!!Voiced by: Katsumi Choi (Japanese), John Snyder (English)
160[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nobliss_gordon.png]]
161
162A wealthy Mars businessman and a fervent believer in Martian independence. While he officially supports Kudelia, he is secretly working to have her assassinated.
163----
164* ArmsDealer: The reason he funds revolutions and instigates wars is to grow rich off of selling weapons. One scene has him openly basking in the bloodshed to come while on a conference call with Kudelia because it'll make him richer, and Kudelia is disgusted with herself for having to continue to do business with such a man. Later, Nobliss manages to land a deal selling experimental weapons developed by Gjallarhorn [[spoiler:as payment for his men assassinating Orga]].
165* BigBadEnsemble: With Iznario Fareed in Season 1. His machinations to martyr Kudelia and stoke conflict in the colonies drive a great deal of the plot.
166* BitchInSheepsClothing: The image he presents to the public is that he is the main backer of the woman fighting for better treatment of Mars's citizens. The audience finds out early on that it's all just a ruse with Nobliss callously using people for material gain and having hundreds if not thousands die for the sake of making more money.
167* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[spoiler: When Ride catches up to Nobliss years after the final battle, Nobliss doesn't have a clue who Orga Itsuka was despite the role he played in his death.]]
168* CampingACrapper: [[spoiler: Ride shoots him dead on the toilet.]]
169* TheChessmaster: He's playing ''everyone'', from Teiwaz and Gjallarhorn to the various separatist factions across the solar system, in order to advance his own interests via a plan years in the making.
170* CigarChomper: You can't have a proper CorruptCorporateExecutive without having him smoke huge, expensive-looking, and foul-smelling cigars at every available opportunity and Nobliss happily obliges.
171* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's trying to stage-manage the messiest, bloodiest revolution possible in order to exploit the chaos and further enhance his already-mighty bank account.
172* DemotedToExtra: Despite being one of the huge players of the game in Season 1, he doesn't have much of a role in Season 2 since he had nothing to do with the mafia war within Teiwaz or the Gjallarhorn civil war. And since he had no involvement in any of those, [[spoiler: he threatens Kudelia that he will continue funding her company if she cut ties with Tekkadan who are now branded as criminals. He does end up having a major impact on the final arc when his men assassinate Orga]].
173* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: Ride kills him with little to no fanfare.]]
174* ExBigBad: He was one of the BigBad contenders in Season 1, but by Season 2 he's given up on his plot to assassinate and martyr Kudelia since he already got most of what he wanted anyway. He's even revealed to have invested in Kudelia's new company.
175* EvilOldFolks: Nobliss is elderly and cares for nothing but making a profit off of others, setting up people to die to further line his pockets.
176* FalseFriend: Kudelia believes him to be a trustworthy ally and has no idea that he plans to kill her.
177* FanDisservice: The elderly and obese Nobliss spends a distressing portion of his screentime naked in the sauna.
178* FatBastard: He is an unpleasantly overweight fifty-something who the camera tends to frame as an avatar of decaying, cynical greed (as opposed to the younger, prettier, and healthier characters whose hopes and dreams he cheerfully exploits).
179* FauxAffablyEvil: Comes off as a helpful man, but in reality, he's willing to let people die as long as he gets rich.
180* FourIsDeath: [[spoiler: Ride shoots him four times for good measure.]]
181* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: His cigar habit is archetypal 'evil smoking' - it's exactly the sort of wasteful, unsanitary pleasure you'd expect someone like him to indulge in.
182* TheHedonist: He makes no bones about what he likes to do with his money - pretty much every time we see him, he's indulging in some expensive-looking pleasure, from relaxing in his private sauna to smoking fancy cigars, with zero regards for the comfort of those around him - it's hard not to feel sorry for the poor underlings who keep calling him during sauna time and getting an eyeful of naked Nobliss.
183* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler: Several years after the final battle, an adult Ride assassinates Nobliss for his role in Orga's death.]]
184* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Ride who was the little brother figure to Orga, one of the many men Nobiliss has been responsible for the killing, manages to kill him. Ride kills Nobiliss in such a way that he would go out with the least amount of dignity as possible, unlike Orga who accepted his own death with dignity.]]
185* LaserGuidedKarma: Mostly stays behind the scenes and helps or hinders the main characters via his henchmen, so as to not directly be involved with whatever happens. [[spoiler: When he briefly visits Mars for business purposes, Ride takes this rare opportunity to kill Nobliss for his part in ordering a hit on Orga, who died protecting Ride. Bonus karmic points as Ride kills Nobliss with the pistol that Orga had on him when he died.]]
186* TheManBehindTheMan: He's the one who bribed Coral to try to kill Kudelia. [[spoiler: Fumitan is also spying on Kudelia for him.]]
187* TheMole: [[spoiler: The famed supporter of revolutionaries is on Rustal's payroll.]]
188* NGOSuperpower: His vast wealth and extensive political contacts mean he's essentially one all by himself. There are four great powers in the solar system - Gjallarhorn, Teiwaz, the economic blocs of Earth, and Nobliss Gordon.
189* NonActionBigBad: Considering he's an elderly, overweight businessman and not even a member of Gjallarhorn or involved in any sort of combat role, Nobliss for the most part stays behind-the-scenes and leaves the dirty work up to paid assassins or bribed Gjallarhorn members.
190* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Despite his high-minded rhetoric about why sacrifices are necessary for the success of his revolution, the truth is that more peaceful negotiations of rights for the downtrodden masses of the solar system won't create enough chaos for him to make a quick buck off.
191* PragmaticVillainy:
192** He stops trying to kill Kudelia after [=McMurdo=] convinces him that she's more useful as a living revolutionary than a martyr.
193** When Terra Liberionis attempted assassination of Kudelia, Allium desperately calls up Nobliss for support. Nobliss simply stops taking his calls as Allium can't offer anything useful to him and he's dug himself into too deep of a hole with Tekkaden.
194* SoundOnlyDeath: [[spoiler:You don't see him actually die, but you certainly hear it.]]
195* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Ride murders him in the bathroom when he's pants-less on a toilet. This was most likely intentional on Ride's part.]]
196* WarForFunAndProfit: He'll start wars for the sake of money.
197* WouldHurtAChild: He's involved in the deaths of the Tekkadan children some way or another.

201!!!Voiced by: Creator/KimikoSaito (Japanese)
202Kudelia's secretary in the Admoss Company.
203----
204* SatelliteCharacter: We know nothing about Cucubita beyond that she is completely loyal to Kudelia.
205* UndyingLoyalty: Cucubita is completely loyal to Kudelia.

207
208[[folder:Akatsuki '''(SPOILERS)''']]
209!!!Voiced by: Ayaka Asai (Japanese), Creator/KarenStrassman (English)
210The son of Mikazuki and Atra. Full name Akatsuki Augus Mixta Bernstein.
211----
212
213* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Thanks to literally not being conceived until late into the series.
214* MeaningfulName: Akatsuki is the Japanese word for dawn. Becomes especially meaningful when you know that his father Mikazuki's name means crescent moon and that Earth's moon was reduced to a shattered crescent by the Calamity War. Thus, Akatsuki represents not just the start of a new era, but people finally moving past the scars left by the Calamity War.
215* MarshmallowHell: Buries his face in Kudelia's chest when he insists he's been a good boy.
216* SignificantDoubleCasting: In English, he shares his [[Creator/KarenStrassman father’s voice actor from when he (Mikazuki) was a child.]]
217* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks like a younger Mikazuki with his mother's hair color.
218* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: In place of his father's DyingMomentOfAwesome, his son gets to live on into a better future with Atra and Kudelia.
219* WalkingSpoiler: As he only appears in the epilogue.

222!!Teiwaz
223
224A conglomerate based in the Jupiter Sphere, it owns many companies and has a private army. However, many regard them as merely a mafia.
225----
226
227[[folder:Teiwaz as a whole]]
228[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teiwaz_logo.png]]
229* ActionMom: All of the Turbine girls in combat roles. Not all of them have kids of their own, but the harem's children are raised communally by Naze and all of his wives.
230* AmazonBrigade: Since Naze Turbine's gang is also his harem (yes, the whole thing), the Turbines' ship is crewed solely by women.
231* AmbiguouslyEvil: Teiwaz are referred to as being like a "mafia" and have a very shady reputation because of it, but apart from Jasley we never actually see any of their members do anything actively malicious. A scene at the end of Season 1 shows [[spoiler:[=McMurdo=] striking up a deal with Nobliss in regards to [[WarForFunAndProfit war profiteering]],]] but [[AbortedArc nothing comes of it]].
232* BreakingTheFellowship:
233** [[spoiler: With the wipeout of Naze, Amida and a significant number of their members due to being framed by Gjallarhorn (through the betrayal of Jasley) in Episode 40, the Turbines effectively ceased to be an organization. It also begins highlighting that Teiwaz it not as tightly-knit an organization as it is made out to be.]]
234** [[spoiler: In episode 41, it's revealed that Jasley isn't satisfied with just Naze's death. He also wants to crush Tekkadan and off [=McMurdo=] so that he can be the new leader of Teiwaz.]]
235* CultureChopSuey: They're mostly a fifty-fifty blend of the Italian Mafia and the Japanese Yakuza in language, culture, and aesthetics, although they do take a few elements from other infamous ethnic criminal organisations as well (which is why their current leader has [[TheIrishMob an Irish name]], for example, while TheStarscream has a Greek one).
236* DefeatMeansFriendship: Tekkadan earns their respect after their first encounter, to the point where the leaders of the two groups make a blood oath that essentially makes them brothers.
237* DistaffCounterpart: Amida and Azee to [=McGillis=] and Gaileo, to an uncanny degree.
238* GoodOldFisticuffs: Befitting their image as street-brawling mobsters, Teiwaz suits tend to favor punching weapons. The Hyakuren has a pair of knuckledusters in its skirt armor, and the Hyakuri has the detachable shields that cover its arms when they're stowed in its backpack.
239* HartmanHips: In a nod to their large number of female pilots, their mobile suits have exaggerated, feminine hips in comparison to other factions' designs.
240* LockedOutOfTheLoop: All of the Turbines and Merribit concerning [[spoiler:[=McMurdo=]'s power play with Nobliss Gordon, which involved setting up Tekkadan ''and many unwitting civilians to die.'']]
241* TheMafia: Their main aesthetic, though due to the CultureChopSuey of this universe, they have some Yakuza elements as well - the blood oath ceremony has a Japanese tea ritual and mandatory formal kimonos, and Jasley actually mentions {{yubitsume}} [[spoiler: before receiving a more generic mob execution.]]
242* MeaningfulName: Teiwaz is the Japanese transliteration of the proto-Germanic ''Tiwaz'', one of the names of the Norse god "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BDr Tyr]]". Tyr is foretold to lose a limb and die during Ragnarok--and true enough, [[spoiler:the organization loses a major member/"arm" in the Turbines]].
243* {{Polyamory}}: Basically, this is the relationship for all members of the Turbines' ship. The crew is Naze's {{Harem}}.
244* PunchClockVillain: You'd expect mafia enforcers to be OnlyInItForTheMoney, but these guys are ''downright ruthless'' in battle. But they have no problems with lengthy negotiations, and even allow people from the ''Isaribi'' ''into their nursery''.
245* RedOniBlueOni: Amida and Azee. Even their mechs are the right color!
246* WakeUpCallBoss: After getting out of consecutive scrapes with Gjallarhorn by the skin of their teeth, it's the Turbines who finally leave a mark on Tekkadan.

249[[folder:Naze Turbine]]
250!!!Voiced by: Creator/KosukeToriumi (Japanese), Creator/DavidVincent (English)
251[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_teiwaz_naze_turbine.png]]
252-> '''Main ship:''' TIR-0009 Hammerhead
253
254A Teiwaz officer in charge of his namesake team, the Turbines, who manage Teiwaz's transportation operations.
255----
256
257* AffablyEvil: Even during the brief time where he's working with Maruba and going up against Tekkadan, Naze goes so far as to attempt to recruit Tekkadan into Teiwaz in noncombatant roles so he can avoid fighting them.
258* AmazonChaser: Episode 39 reveals he fell for Amida due to her skills as a pilot.
259* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite his loyalty to Teiwaz, he does really care for Orga since he sees him as his younger self when he also formed his own organization. Episode 39 and 40 is the high point for him [[spoiler: where he's willing to sacrifice himself so that Tekkadan wouldn't fall into Iok's trap]].
260* BigBrotherMentor: Towards Orga. He even [[InvokedTrope requests that Orga refers to him as bro]].
261* BlatantLies: Despite his insistence that the women on his crew are his only priorities, Naze time and again goes out of his way to look out for Tekkadan, to a fault. [[spoiler: Jasley ultimately uses this to his advantage to get Gjallahorn to frame him for transporting illegal weapons.]]
262* BloodOath:
263** Naze has sworn a blood oath of loyalty to Teiwaz's leader, [=McMurdo=] Barristan. It's considered to be an indicator of high rank within the organization.
264** With [=McMurdo=]'s permission, Naze swears a similar blood oath with Orga, making them brothers and placing Tekkadan under the Turbine's protection.
265* TheCasanova: While he has a harem [[spoiler: episode 39 reveals he's actually an aversion. He married these girls to protect them and give them jobs. Amida is his only actual wife. But he's perfectly willing to respond to their affections.]]
266* ChivalrousPervert: More than happy to staff his ship entirely with beautiful women and declare them all his harem, but he genuinely cares about them as talented people. [[spoiler: And while this playboy image is somewhat exaggerated, given that his heart belongs to Amida and most of the others just signed on because he offered them a better job than what they had before, he doesn't have any problem sleeping with the ones who want to.]]
267* EarlyBirdCameo: Already appears (alongside Amida) in the Opening Credits since episode 2 before their debut in episode 8
268* EveryoneHasStandards: Naze is a gangster and ruthless toward people who get in his way, but he is disgusted when he learns that Maruba had his child soldiers implanted with the Ālaya-Vijñāna system. It's most likely because ''he's a father himself.''
269* EthicalHedonist: Lives life to the fullest with nice suits, good liquor, and multiple wives, but takes responsibility in everything he does and always thinks about the long term needs of his family.
270* {{Expy}}: Dude with long, black hair and a goatee, moreso a very charismatic ladies' man... He's basically [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Ricardo Fellini]] without the excess flamboyance and hot-bloodedness, who inherited [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Paptimus Scirocco]]'s ''tremendously'' [[TheCasanova high luck with women]]. Hilariously episode 39 reveals he also has Fellini's open door policy on women, but without the {{Crazy Jealous Guy}}s that went after the latter.
271* GoingDownWithTheShip: In episode 40, [[spoiler: after getting framed for transporting illegal weapons, Naze has the rest of the Turbines evacuate the ship with the intent to take the punishment by himself. Amida decides to stay with him.]]
272* HappilyMarried: Whether or not they were legally married, he treats Amida like this, and gradually falls in love with her after hiring her as a mercenary. The feeling is mutual as Amida shows a lot of affection to him as well.
273* HeroicSacrifice: In episode 40, [[spoiler: Naze plans on giving himself up to Gjallarhorn, in order to buy time for the rest of the Turbines to escape while also keeping the connection between the Turbines and Tekkadan secret.]]
274* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Due to the unique circumstances of his relationship with his many "wives", he's got no issue with the idea of any of them leaving his harem should they find another man they've fallen in love with. Seeing as for a number of them, the "marriage" is in name only, and only the ones who seek a further relationship beyond that with him are the ones whom he reciprocates. Which is why he doesn't have a problem when he catches wind that [[spoiler:Lafter has feelings for Akihiro.]]
275* {{Leitmotif}}: "Teiwaz Accordion ver."
276* LikeASonToMe: [[spoiler: Episode 39 reveals that barring Amida as they met long before establishing their group, he sees his "wives" as his daughters, partly because he only married them to get them out of the bad situations they were in.]]
277* TheMafia: Acts as an enforcer for Teiwaz.
278* TheMenFirst: [[spoiler: He lets the rest of the Turbines escape while he stays behind and gives a kamikaze run on Iok's ship.]]
279* NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters: Naze is very pleasant for a ruthless Teiwaz gangster. He even [[spoiler:uses his cover as a gangster with a harem to rescue girls from poverty.]]
280* TheOneGuy: He is the sole male member of the Turbines unless you count his kids.
281* RammingAlwaysWorks: [[spoiler: Borrowing a page from [[CombatPragmatist Tekkadan's playbook]], in his [[DyingMomentOfAwesome final act]], Naze sends the Turbine's ship, the Hammerhead, careening into Iok's. Unfortunately, it ends up bouncing off of Iok's ship and collides with the one adjacent to him instead.]]
282* ReallyGetsAround: His entire crew is his harem. [[spoiler: Or so he claims. In truth, they are all women he has taken under his protection from bad situations.]] He has 5 toddlers (all his, from different mothers) on board, with an unknown number of older children at school. Somehow, no problems arise: all of his wives seem OK with the situation, and take care of each other's babies like a big family.
283* TheScapegoat: Jasley frames Naze for one of his ships allegedly transporting a Dainsleif, which is an illegal weapon by Gjallarhorn. Iok then uses this as an excuse to take the Turbines out.
284* SexyManInstantHarem: How good is he? Well, the entire crew of the ''Hammerhead'' is composed of nothing but ''his'' women. [[spoiler: In truth, it's a lot smaller than it appears due to many of the crew being rescues, but he's still confirmed to have at least 6 or 7 wives among them.]]
285* SharpDressedMan: [[WaxingLyrical And it's true about how]] [[Music/ZZTop all the ladies react, too.]]
286* StealthMentor: Fancies himself as one to Orga, sharing his experience about being the boss of a "family" that needs to be protected and provided for. [[spoiler: By the middle of season 2, MentorOccupationalHazard kicks in.]]
287* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: After Amida dies, Naze rams into Iok's fleet. While he only manages a glancing blow to Iok's ship, he does take out the ship right next to Iok's.]]
288* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Invoked. After Amida got killed by a [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Dainsleif rod]], Naze went on a suicide run towards the Arianhrod blockade so he could be with her. The last we see of him before the Hammerhead is destroyed has him being cradled by Amida's ghost.]]
289* UndyingLoyalty: When Tekkadan starts rocking the boat with their benefactors in the second season, he makes it clear that despite his friendship with Orga, if Tekkadan ever comes into conflict with Teiwaz, he's going to side with Teiwaz.
290* UrbanLegendLoveLife: Being the leader of an all female crew where they are ''all'' his wives kind of leads to this. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that this is a bit of an exaggeration. While Naze ''does'' get around, he only does so with the women who are willing. The idea that all the Turbine women are part of his harem is just a cover.]]

293[[folder:Amida Arca]]
294!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsukoTanaka (Japanese), Creator/WendeeLee (English)
295[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_teiwaz_amida_arca11.png]]
296-> '''Main mecha:''' STH-05/AC Hyakuren (Amida Custom)
297
298Naze's right-hand woman, who commands their outfit's mobile suit forces, Amida is also first and foremost among his wives. Pilots a customized Hyakuren.
299----
300* AcePilot: Despite being a normal human without any sort of AV implants or heavily advanced MS, she's easily one of the best, if not THE best pilot on the show. Piloting an AceCustom version of the Hyakuren, she never takes anything more than scratch damage during any battle she's in, and routinely outmaneuvers and destroys anything she comes up against, regardless of whether they're a Rodi Frame, one of Gjallarhorn's advanced prototype suits, or even a Gundam. This peaks in season 2, where she, by herself, has to deal with Julietta in her high-spec prototype machine, attacking Gjallarhorn Warships, and making sure the crew of the Hammerhead escapes, and STILL manages to do all 3 without taking more than light damage despite still piloting her now outdated machine, and treating the Reginlaze Julia like it was a cheap fodder MS. [[spoiler: The only reason she dies in this battle is because Iok refuses to accept their surrender, and in a panic bombards her with railguns, and even then she still lands a shot on Iok's bridge despite being impaled.]]
301* ActionGirl: She's the top enforcer of a small but powerful faction of the Jovian mafia, and is exactly as dangerous as that implies, serving as a nasty wake-up call to the Tekkadan after their relatively easy string of fights against Gjallarhorn's backwater Mars branch.
302* ActionMom: Both in the sense of being an actual mother, and as the chief wife of Naze as the maternal influence on the whole of the Turbines crew. As part of the Hammerhead ''and its nursery's'' last line of defense, she qualifies as a MamaBear.
303* AlliterativeName: '''A'''mida '''A'''rca.
304* AmbiguouslyBrown: Appears to be Latina.
305* BadassNormal: Lacks any sort of AV implant, but she's still one of the best MS pilots in the setting and is able to take on ''and'' outmatch opponents in mobile suits that are much stronger than hers.
306* BlackBraAndPanties: Rocked a very seductive pair during her early days with Naze, as the flashback during Season 2 Episode 14 showed.
307* EarlyBirdCameo: Already appears (alongside Naze) in the Opening Credits since episode 2 before their debut in episode 8.
308* EthicalHedonist: Like Naze, she believes in savoring life's pleasures but is wise enough to always prioritize the well-being of herself and others.
309* GoingDownWithTheShip: In episode 40, [[spoiler: Amida stays behind with Naze to try and hold back Gjallahorn's troops while the rest of the Turbines escape.]]
310* HappilyMarried: Whether or not they were legally married, she loves Naze a lot and stays with him till the bitter end.
311* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Gets run through while inside her Hyakuren by one of the Dainsleif rods fired by Iok's mobile suits.]]
312* LadyAndKnight: A gender-flipped example with Naze, acting as his top pilot and guardian.
313* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Her pink Hyakuren, due to being one of the first 9 made, was outfitted with better tech than the standard Hyakuren. [[spoiler: She outclasses everyone she goes up against, including the FAR more advanced Reginglaze Julia.]]
314* MaleGaze: Definitely caused this during her flashback scene with Naze (see BlackBraAndPanties entry above.)
315* MsFanservice: She has an attractive busty body and wears clothes to show it off.
316* PinkMeansFeminine: Her pink Hyakuren goes along with her makeup and hooped earrings to make her much more obviously feminine than her conservative, reserved wingwoman, Azee... and serves to emphasize that she's dangerous enough that she doesn't need to bother with a professional, military appearance, because everyone else is going to be scared anyway.
317* RuggedScar: Has what looks like a large, faded burn scar across much of her torso, indicating that despite looking like a gangster's arm-candy in most other regards, she's seen some serious action.
318-->'''Amida''': "Scars like these are an occupational hazard."
319-->'''Naze''': "Yes, and they're beautiful."
320* SpicyLatina: She is of Hispanic origin and is quite the badass.
321* StatuesqueStunner: She's actually taller than Naze.
322* SuperPrototype: Her unique pink Hyakuren is a 'Single Number', one of the first nine built before the project ran out of budget and had to start making cutbacks. It's better-engineered, made of better materials, and equipped with a heavy-duty 130mm rifle rather than one of the later suits' smaller, simpler 100mm weapons.
323* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Amida uses her last moments to fire at the bridge of Iok's ship. Unfortunately, her shot isn't strong enough to breach the bridge's glass, so Iok survives.]]
324* TopWife: In the beginning, it was just Naze and Amida. While he has since taken multiple "wives" and even had children with them, Amida enjoys authority over all the others, and they all know that Naze loves her most of all.
325* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Invoked on Naze's part. After Amida died first, he went on a suicide run so he could be with her. Just before he dies, her spirit appears before him and hugs him one last time.]]
326* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She doesn't like Jasley who criticized Naze for being a playboy. In the flashback, she's about to give him a piece of her mind until Naze stops her because he wants the playboy image to be his cover in order to protect his women.
327* WeakButSkilled: Amida's Hyakuren is fairly outdated by Season 2. Despite this, Amida is skilled enough to not only fight evenly with Julieta and her state-of-the-art Reginlaze Julia, but Julieta herself is unable to get any sort of actual damage on her and even admits that she'd have died multiple times already if not for her suit.
328* WorthyOpponent:
329** Sees the Tekkadan kids like this, commenting on their tactics against her and her team as if she's a schoolteacher with promising new pupils.
330** [[spoiler: Julietta sees her like this as well.]]
331[[/folder]]
332
333[[folder:Lafter Frankland]]
334!!!Voiced by: Creator/YokoHikasa (Japanese), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English)
335[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_teiwaz_lafter_frankland.png]]
336-> '''Main mecha:''' STH-14s Hyakuri, STH-05R Rouei, STH-16 Shiden, STH-20 Hekjia
337
338The Turbines' scout pilot, an energetic girl with a cheery disposition who's always up for a good fight.
339----
340* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: In episode 41 she almost tells Akihiro that she loves him but decides not to at the last second. Sadly she never got to tell him.]]
341* ActionGirl: While Azee's no slouch, Lafter is easily the Turbines' second-best pilot, and one of the best in the solar system at that, even fighting the walking death machine that is Mikazuki Augus to a draw despite his (considerably) BiggerStick.
342* AcePilot: Is able to run rings around Barbatos with her Hyakuri during her first appearance, and even when she's grounded is able to force Mikazuki to a draw. What she does to regular {{Mooks}}, meanwhile, doesn't really bear thinking about.
343* BashBrothers: In another big flip to gender norms, she's slowly becoming one with Akihiro given their frequent simulator matches, and she has shown interest in working with Mika as well.
344* BloodKnight: Shows shades of this. She seems to revel in crushing her opponents and yells at Mikazuki to just give up several times. It goes a long way to explain her attitude towards the mech battle simulator, [[VictoryIsBoring despite her beating Akihiro each time.]]
345* BookDumb: Despite being an ace-level pilot, she has less patience for mecha technical specifications than some of the ''kids.''
346* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: Gets shot in the face through the window of a store.]]
347* CharacterTics: She likes painting her toenails to pass the time.
348* DarkAndTroubledPast: She, like most of the Turbines, came from a rough background. She worked on outlaw ships as a crewmate, doing thankless labor with high death rates until Amida and Naze showed up.
349* DeathBySighOfRelief: [[spoiler: In the WORST way possible. The surviving girls who were prominent among the Turbines seemed to have been spared by the ax and made it to a lull in the action and appeared to be on the homestretch to sanctuary. Lafter temporarily says goodbye to Akihiro after giving him a big bear hug and holds a rapidly budding crush and affection toward him. She ventures into a toy store while Azee is off elsewhere and spots a teddy bear resembling Akihiro with big eyebrows and a scowl. That would be a sweet moment of comfort to go out on- until an armed gunman nails Lafter with a DoubleTap to the head and she falls over in a heap and splattering pool of blood, killed instantly. Right as her guard was totally down, thinking she was perfectly safe and free to care about normal life and Azee was not around to protect her, causing Azee, now sent over the edge by the third and worst death of her loved ones to hit a total breakdown. And poor Lafter and her painted nails and shiny heart earrings... silenced forever. A happy ending for her and Akihiro... permanently ruined.]]
350* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Shown to have survived the destruction of her Mobile Suit along with Azee and Norba during Episode 25. This fate is subverted in the long run, unfortunately, when she is explicitly KilledOffForReal.]]
351* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: She's assassinated with little build-up in what had up to that point been a BreatherEpisode.]]
352* EmergencyWeapon: The armored panels that cover the Hyakuri's arms when they're stowed in its backpack can be detached and hand-carried, becoming tonfa-like knuckleduster-shields that serve as its primary melee weapons when Lafter's forced into close-range combat.
353* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She's first seen while painting her nails in her cockpit and fantasizing about ''eating'' the ''Isaribi'' (which she thinks looks like a boiled shrimp), setting her up as quirky but bloodthirsty.
354* {{Expy}}: Earned comparisons to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Nena Trinity]] right off the bat, though she ended up being a considerably more heroic character despite her fondness for violence.
355* FeetFirstIntroduction: Our first glimpse of her is a closeup of her bare feet as she paints her toenails.
356* GirlyBruiser: She's first seen painting her nails pink in the cockpit of her mobile suit, and later on that episode, she is the first person to fight Mikazuki to a draw.
357* GunsAkimbo: Her Hyakuri's primary weapons are a pair of 110mm rifles that, despite their relatively small caliber, are powerful enough to manage the unusual feat of dealing significant damage to nanolaminate-armored targets like ships and mobile suits.
358* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Her Rouei is impaled by Ein's [[ThisIsADrill drill kick]]. [[spoiler: Fortunately, the cockpit was relatively undamaged and Lafter only ended up with wounds on the neck and chest.]]
359* LightningBruiser: Her Hyakuri's huge thrusters and lightweight build make it capable of literally flying rings around the Barbatos (an unusually fast suit in its own right), without obviously compromising its durability, and its twin rifles give it impressive firepower. Of special note, in episode 11 she can catch up to Mika in the Barbatos despite his significant headstart and the new booster unit, and her ''towing another mecha!''
360* LongRangeFighter: Her Hyakuri's powerful guns and immense speed make it one of the few mecha in the show that's best-suited to ranged anti-suit combat. It's still dangerous up close, but it's not what it's designed for and it's not what she prefers.
361* MeaningfulName: The resident GenkiGirl is named ''Lafter''. Say it out loud a few times.
362* MidseasonUpgrade: In episode 19, she switches to a Rouei, a disguised Hyakuren, as her Hyakuri is a known Teiwaz mobile suit and using it would give Gjallarhorn reason to attack Teiwaz. In her case, this would normally qualify as a downgrade/sidegrade, given that the Hyakuri is already an enhanced, specialized Hyakuren, except that the Rouei she got used to being Amida's 'Single Number' SuperPrototype. Season 2 meanwhile sees her upgrade to a Shiden and later to a Hekjia.
363* MsFanservice: Her usual outfit leaves little to the imagination and her introduction in the show is filled to the brim with MaleGaze.
364* NiceGirl: Off the battlefield, she’s a kind soul who greatly cares for her friends and allies. [[spoiler: Her death at the hands of Jasley (and inadvertently Iok) breaks her surviving comrades.]]
365* OlderThanTheyLook: [[VagueAge Maybe]]. Apparently, she's of age to be part of Naze's harem and is known to have helped in raising his children, if she hasn't birthed one for him already. Despite this, she looks and acts like she's not much older than a high-school-age girl. Although given that apparently, this is a world where military officers can be engaged to nine-year-olds and where adolescent boys can run their own PrivateMilitaryContractors, she very well may ''be'' a teenage girl.
366* PerkyFemaleMinion: Seems to fill this role for the Turbines.
367* RedOniBlueOni: The cheery Red to Azee's Blue.
368* SexyMentor: Towards both Mikazuki and particularly Akihiro. She is the Turbine who primarily takes the duty of training them on how not to overtly rely on their Alaya-Vijnana as a crutch.
369* SuperPrototype: As a testament to her skill, she's given Amida's Single Number Hyakuren when it's modified into a Rouei to provide Tekkadan with deniable fire support on Earth.
370* TargetedToHurtTheHero: [[spoiler: Jasley killed her and all but plastered his name on the murder in a petty act just so that he could spur Tekkadan into fighting against him. Her senseless death proves to be yet another consequence of the existing system's corruption even for those having a normal life.]]
371* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:She's one of the cutest and most kind characters in the setting, yet she also gets one of the most mean-spirited deaths in the series.]]

374[[folder:Azee Gurumin]]
375!!!Voiced by: Sachi Kokuryu (Japanese), Creator/EricaLindbeck (English)
376[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_teiwaz_azee_gurumin.png]]
377-> '''Main mecha:''' STH-05 Hyakuren, STH-05R Rouei, STH-16 Shiden, STH-20 Hekjia
378
379Amida's quiet, calm wingwoman.
380----
381* ActionGirl: Comes with the territory of being a female Gundam pilot.
382* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Turns up alive, albeit with a broken arm and ribs and head injuries, in Episode 25 along with Shino and Lafter after all three of them were mauled by the Graze Ein.]]
383* TheGenericGuy: Partially due to her quiet demeanor in comparison to Lafter and Amida, partially due to her lack of screen time, she's this for the Turbines pilots.
384* HiddenDepths: In ep. 11 she carries out analysis on the Brewers mecha, and figures out that one of them may have similar origins to the Barbatos. Oh, and she can cook.
385* MidseasonUpgrade: In episode 19, she modifies her Hyakuren into a Rouei, as her undisguised Hyakuren is a known Teiwaz mobile suit and using it would give Gjallarhorn reason to attack Teiwaz. In Season 2, she upgrades to a Shiden and later to a Hekija.
386* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:She completely blames herself for Lafter's death, as she was not present to guard her in the toy shop nor act as a lookout when it happened, and the girls had ''just'' settled in to their prospects of peace, only to get the rudest and harshest of reality checks.]]
387* NotSoStoic: She actually warms up to the Tekkadan kids easier than you'd expect. Par for the course when you serve on a ship with its own nursery, really. In Episode 40, she is (rather understandably) seen crying after [[spoiler: Naze and Amida die, and when they lose Lafter one week later, ''she's broken as a person''.]]
388* TheQuietOne: Doesn't speak unnecessarily.
389* RedOniBlueOni: The stoic, stone-faced Blue to Lafter's Red.
390* ReiAyanamiExpy: She has a silver hair tone and a quiet personality.
391* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Azee SNAPS when Lafter is killed and goes totally ballistic.]]
392* ScreamDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: After finding Lafter's body.]]
393* ShadowArchetype: She's pretty much Fumitan Admoss on a BAD day.
394* SoProudOfYou: She's noticeably proud when she hears Ride among the Tekkadan forces who come to save the Turbines in #40.
395* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Aside from Eco, Azee functionally becomes this when both her bosses and her dear friend and partner are killed in the wake of Jasley and Iok's mayhem.]]
396* TheStoic: The classic ice-calm-under-fire top gun pilot.
397* TokenWholesome: Compared to the other Turbines, Azee dresses fairly conservatively. She tends to keep wearing her pilot suit when off duty and in the warm weather opts for a black t-shirt.
398* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler: After Naze's death, Azee is now in charge of the remaining Turbines. She even suited up just like her boss]].

402!!!Voiced by: Creator/YurikaKubo (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (English, Season One, Season Two Episodes 39-), Creator/EricaLindbeck (English, Season Two Episodes 26-38)
403[[quoteright:217:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_teiwaz_eco_turbine.png]]
404
405* AscendedExtra: Goes from being a face on the bridge to part of the "away team" assigned to Tekkadan.
406* BridgeBunnies: Started out as one for the Hammerhead.
407* TheEngineer: An expert Mobile Suit Mechanic. She's frequently working with Nadi and Yamagi keeping up the maintenance of Tekkadan's Mobile Units.
408* HiddenDepths: Takes a more active approach to mecha engineering than Azee. Look no further than the Barbatos 6th Form - the upgrade started at some point after the escape from Oceania, while they were technically on the run, and ''completed'' before they got onto the train to Edmonton.
409* MsFanservice: Dresses in a similar way to Lafter.
410* OffscreenTeleportation: She somehow does this when she showed up on Earth with Lafter and Azee who arrive in their Mobile Suits but she's not with them and didn't seem to land with Tekkadan as they were surprised that the Turbines aided them.
411* SatelliteCharacter: Despite being part of the trio of Turbines sent by Naze to support Tekkadan, Eco receives the least amount of screentime and development since she's not a pilot like Lafter and Azee.
412* WrenchWench: An engineer and very attractive.

415[[folder:[=McMurdo=] Barristan]]
416!!!Voiced by: Creator/UnshoIshizuka (Japanese), Creator/PaulStPeter (English)
417[[quoteright:342:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gundam_ibo_teiwaz_mcmurdo.png]]
418
419The official head of Teiwaz itself, who couldn't care less about the whole 'mafia' reputation. You'd never know it if you met him yourself.
420----
421* AffablyEvil: [=McBurdo=] is a friendly guy, when the audience is first introduced to him, but he ''is'' the head of a large organized crime syndicate. It's unknown as to whether [=McMurdo=] was involved in Nobliss' plan to martyr Kudelia from the start, but he did end up collaborating with the business mongrel to have a stake in the future profits. In the first season finale, [[spoiler: he seems rather pleased at the business prospects brought about by the power blocs' arms buildup, even though he knows that it could lead to a deadly war.]]
422* AnimalMotifs: His black and white outfit, yellowish scarf and stocky build give him a strong resemblance to an emperor penguin. The name [=McMurdo=] comes from the explorer Archibald [=McMurdo=], for whom several landmarks in Antarctica are named.
423* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: While it all happens off-screen, [=McMurdo's=] way of countering all of Jasley's scheming was just beautiful. He accepts Tekkadan's resignation from Teiwaz with no strings attached, so that they can kill Jasley for him. He also makes an agreement with Rustal that he’ll overlook Gjallarhorn's part in the destruction of the Turbines in exchange for Rustal putting Iok on a leash. Deprived of Iok's help, Jasley is left at a severe disadvantage against Tekkadan.]]
424* DiabolicalMastermind: [=McMurdo=] is about as reasonable a person you could find as this trope. He heads a shady but influential business organization, employs his own private military and cuts deals with other elite figures in the Earth Sphere, but he also prefers to be as legitimate as possible and avoid any unnecessary bloodshed.
425* TheDon: Head of Teiwaz, and looked to as a father-like figure by it's lower members.
426* EvenEvilHasStandards: You can just see the disgust on [=McMurdo=]'s face when Jasley [[spoiler: suggested he turn the remaining Turbines over to his "protection" following Lafter's [[SarcasmMode totally unrelated]] murder.]]
427* LikeASonToMe: While [=McMurdo=] refers to all of his under-bosses as his sons, it becomes clear in season 2 that he favors Naze above the others. In season 2, when it becomes quite apparent that [[spoiler: Naze is going to be killed by Gjallahorn, [=McMurdo=] agrees to protect the surviving Turbines in his honor. He also holds Naze's funeral in his own home, despite the political trouble that could come from such a display.]]
428* PetTheDog:
429** [[spoiler: He decides to personally hold Naze's funeral despite the potential risk it holds to him.]]
430** Despite how reckless Tekkadan ultimately became [[spoiler: he accepts Orga's resignation from Teiwaz with no strings attached. Even admitting in private that he's proud of them for avenging Naze.]]
431** [[spoiler: After Arianrhod labels Tekkadan the enemies of the world, [=McMurdo=] agrees to let Azee and the surviving Turbines smuggle them off of Mars, despite the disastrous political consequences that would ensue should Gjallarhorn learn of that. In addition, even though Orga broke the Sakazaki cup oath, [=McMurdo=] grants his request to help him contact Rustal Elion, since it wouldn't cost [=McMurdo=] anything.]]
432** [[spoiler: In the epilogue he's revealed to have helped gain freedom for Mars through his connections with Gjallarhorn, helping Kudelia to become the leader of the Martian Union.]]
433* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Trusts Naze enough to let him go through with the whole blood oath thing with Orga. With regards to discretion, mind you.
434* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: A surprisingly [[SubvertedTrope benevolent]] version of the trope; [[spoiler: [=McMurdo=] accepts Orga and Tekkadan's resignation from Teiwaz on the basis that they were too reckless and hotblooded to work as one of his organizations in the long term. The fact that their resignation also came with the added benefit of them killing off the traitorous Jasley was a win-win for [=McMurdo=].]]

436
437[[folder:Jasley Donomikols]]
438!!!Voiced by: Creator/RyotaTakeuchi (Japanese), Creator/DCDouglas (English)
439[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/34.png]]
440-> '''Main ship:''' TIR-0102 Golden Jasley
441The second in command of Teiwaz. He strongly dislikes Naze and frequently quarrels with him for [=McMurdo's=] favor.
442----
443* AssholeVictim: Looks down on women, helped cause [[spoiler: Naze and Amida's death]] out of jealousy, [[spoiler: killed Lafter]] to get rid of Tekkadan, tried to usurp [=McMurdo=], and had no problem using human debris. He died begging for his life in front of Mika and Orga.
444* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: All he wanted was for Tekkadan to fight him so that Iok would back him up and eliminate them. He gets his wish by provoking them... ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge into a bloodbath of carnage]]'', all without Iok's aid.]]
445* BigBadEnsemble: Rustal Elion is the lead antagonist of Season 2, but Jasley isn't far behind with his schemes to take over Teiwaz, to which he sees Tekkadan as an obstacle.
446* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: Spent the first two-thirds of the second season plotting to become the new leader of Teiwaz. He got Naze, Amida, and Lafter killed, and the Turbines disbanded. After baiting Tekkadan into a fight, his entire plan hinged on Iok's forces being able to back him up. When this doesn't come to be, his forces actually get destroyed by Tekkadan with relative ease.]]
447* BullyingTheDragon: As little as Jasley may think of them, Tekkadan has proven to be one of the most effective (if not powerful) organizations in the Sol System. These "space rats" have repeatedly trounced Gjallarhorn, took down a much larger pirate force with little more than a scratch and ''destroyed'' one of the most feared weapon systems to ever exist. And now Jasley, through his indirect hand in [[spoiler: Naze and Amida's deaths]] and his more direct one in [[spoiler: Lafter's]], has pissed them all off to the point of an incoming RoaringRampageOfRevenge. [[spoiler: In episode 42, they slaughter his group.]]
448* CainAndAbel: Given the Teiwaz is framed in such a way that all the branch heads are "brothers" with [=McMurdo=] as the father, this means Jasley is the Cain to Naze's Abel. Jasley resents Naze for his success and being the "favorite son" of [=McMurdo=]. [[spoiler: He later successfully plots Naze's murder at Gjallahorn's hands.]]
449* DidntThinkThisThrough: Jasley both underestimates the strength of Tekkadan and ''over''estimates how high up the Gjallahorn ladder Iok Kujan really is. [[spoiler: When faced with the reality that Tekkadan is going to slaughter all of his forces, Jasley quickly runs to beg [=McMurdo=] to bail him out. [=McMurdo=], wise to Jasley's role in the destruction of the Turbines and attempts to overthrow him, [[InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn washes his hands of him and leaves Jasley to his fate]].]]
450* DirtyCoward: Once Mikazuki gets close to him and is ordered by Orga to kill him, Jasley immediately starts begging for his life before Mikasuki blows him and the other Teiwaz soldiers up.
451* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Jasley thinks that Naze only views his wives as sex objects because he himself only knows how to treat women as tools, and therefore cannot understand the way Naze cares for them as people.
452* EvilCounterpart: To Naze. Both of them are high ranking Teiwaz members. While Naze values his wives as human beings, Jasley only sees women as tools.
453* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler: Taunts and antagonizes Tekkadan during Naze's funeral all so he can bait them into picking a fight and when that fails, he resorts to having his goons kill Lafter.]]
454* EvilRedhead: Red-haired and one of the cruelest characters in the series.
455* FantasticRacism: He's one of the many characters who consider Tekkadan to be worthless space-rats on account of them being from Mars. [[spoiler: During his breakdown in episode 42, he mentally calls them animals and claims that they can't kill him, a human, as it goes against the rules of nature.]]
456* FauxAffablyEvil: Jasley dresses up his haughty demeanor behind a fake-polite veneer of condescension. Any polite gesture he makes is openly insincere and mocking. [[spoiler:He buys a huge arrangement of flowers for Naze's funeral to taunt his grieving family; his massive bouquet overshadowing all the sincere offerings of the one's who loved him]].
457* FurAndLoathing: Invoked. The animal prints on his coats really accentuate his JerkAss-ness.
458* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler: A lot of his hatred for Naze is because it's obvious that [=McMurdo=] likes Naze more than him. He also dislikes Tekkadan for their quick rise in standing and power.]]
459* HateSink: He's probably the most hatable character in the show. He [[spoiler: set Naze up to be called a traitor and killed,]] and has had it out for Tekkadan since the beginning simply for being young. Even Iok is hard to hate as much with everything he's done because he's at least completely earnest in thinking its the right thing to do. [[spoiler: To top it all off, he has Lafter murdered to goad Tekkadan into declaring war on Teiwaz]].
460* HumiliationConga: Episode 42 was a long one for Jasley; [[spoiler: The episode opens with Jasley already on the losing end in his fight against Tekkadan. After Iok fails to keep his side of the agreement to back him up in the battle, Jasley is forced to go crawling to [=McMurdo=] and beg him to call Tekkadan off. [=McMurdo=] then reveals that not only was he wise to Jasley's betrayal attempt, he also had Iok stonewalled and since Tekkadan is no longer under Teiwaz's umbrella, but Jasley would also be left to deal with the mess on his own. In a last-ditch effort to save face, Jasley attempts to parlay with Tekkadan, but Orga reveals that he never had any intention of allowing him to live, he only wanted to see him beg for mercy.]]
461* {{Hypocrite}}:
462** He hates Tekkadan for their association with Gjallarhorn, yet has no problem in giving important information to Iok and Rustal's faction if it means screwing with Tekkadan and the Turbines.
463** When it becomes apparent that [[spoiler: his forces are going to lose and Orga is going to kill him, Jasley suffers a massive VillainousBreakdown over how they're going against the natural order. This is despite the fact that Jasley instigated the fight.]]
464* {{Jerkass}}: Openly standoff-ish and condescending to Naze and the Turbines. During the funeral for [[spoiler:Naze]] he constantly speaks ill of the dead, insults the mourners, and calls the attending Tekkadan members space-rats.
465* JerkassHasAPoint: While his dismissiveness of Tekkadan is born of his racism and jealousy towards them, his belief that they're hotheads who only achieved their position due to Naze guiding them is proven valid as [[spoiler:immediately after Naze's death Tekkadan makes actions that lead to their destruction and Teiwaz's leader admits they're too reckless to be viable with Naze]].
466* KarmicDeath: He secretly conspired with Iok to take out Naze and the Turbines and get him one step closer to becoming the head of Teiwaz. Though many suspect Jasley having to do something with it, Naze told them before his death not to rock the boat, and Orga bites his tongue when Jasley attempts to incite them at Naze's funeral. He then decides to take some further action [[spoiler: and orders a hit-and-run assassination on Lafter]], after which Tekkadan breaks off their ties with Teiwaz in order to deliver a much deserved NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Jasley.
467* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: In episode 41 he and some of his men go to Naze's funeral and mock his fate in front of the remaining Turbines and Tekkadan.]]
468* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler: Crushed by the Barbatos Mace when he's trying to beg Orga to spare him, right after the latter orders Mika to execute him.]]
469* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Barely as he has to be dragged kicking and screaming by his own men [[spoiler:but when it's clear they're losing to Tekkadan he stops caring about saving face and calls [=McMurdo=] and tries to get him to help him. And when [=McMurdo=] tells Jasley he was wise to his plotting isn't going to help him and also that he scuttled his plan with Iok by cutting it even with Rustal and that no Gjallarhorn forces are coming to help him. And after THAT and a small breakdown on his part he also tries to make peace with Tekkadan first by trying to bluff Orga that they're in a stalemate and should call it even and when Orga doesn't fall for it straight up surrenders and starts begging for his life. Orga however has no intention of letting him live and orders Mikazuki to finish him off.]]
470* MobWar: Jasley's main plan in wrestling Teiwaz away from [=McMurdo=] is to spark one of these and take the seat of power by force. As of Episode 41, [[spoiler: he has succeeded in its kickoff]].
471* {{Narcissist}}: Jasley is extremely arrogant as he taunts and trolls everyone around him and only cares about becoming the leader of Teiwaz no matter how many people he has to manipulate or kill to achieve his goals.
472* NonActionBigBad: Much like his rival, the NonActionGuy Naze, Jasley surrounds himself with Mobile Suit pilots while he issues commands from his ship. Jasley manipulates and orders hits but he doesn't do any fighting himself.
473* NumberTwo: Jasley's businesses and assets make him [=McMurdo=]'s effective number two, even if he still favors Naze.
474* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:When Jasley calls [=McMurdo=] to ask for help in episode 42, [=McMurdo=] just reveals he knows that Jasley is planning to take over and that he was the one who convinced Rustal to place Iok under house arrest and prevent the hotheaded Seven Star from assisting Jasley (which Jasley's entire plan had hinged on) and leaves him to his fate.]]
475* PayEvilUntoEvil: Finds out that all his actions and underhanded shady dealings has consequences in episode 42 when he successfully taunts Tekkadan into fighting him and finds out he's no match for them despite his larger force.
476* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: According to Amida, Jasley is incapable of seeing women as anything more than tools.
477* ShameIfSomethingHappened: [[spoiler: After having Lafter killed, this is the method in which Jasley uses to coax Tekkadan into fighting him, leaving the implication that he'd have his men kill the rest of the surviving Turbines if they didn't fight him.]]
478* SmugSnake: Spends much of the series acting smug and condescending to others, up until [[spoiler:he learns that Iok's fleet, which he leaned on as muscle, isn't coming to bail him out and that he's at Tekkadan's mercy.]]
479* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: In episode 41 when Jasley realizes [=McMurdo=] still prefers Naze over him and is suspicious of him, he decides its time to take down [=McMurdo=]]].
480* TokenEvilTeammate: While Teiwaz has a shady reputation, Jasley is the only members who's actively shown to be villainous.
481* TooDumbToLive: Despite witnessing Tekkadan beating ever increasingly powerful enemies, he still thinks they're going to be easy pushovers that he can easily betray and then defeat in battle. He even insults Naze in an attempt to get them to fight, but Orga successfully resists the taunting. Then he finds himself on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle after he has [[spoiler:Lafter]] killed, and Tekkadan cuts their ties to Teiwaz so they can give him an extremely deserved NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
482* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Spends his last few moments pathetically begging Tekkadan to spare him.]]
483* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He didn't know or care what the Mobile Armor was, but it was ''his'' information that led Iok to Mars, and indirectly to the awakening of Hashmal.
484* VillainTeamUp: Forms an alliance with Iok Kujan, hoping to use the Arianrhod Fleet's resources to help him take out Naze and Tekkadan. [[spoiler:At least until Rustal intervenes and forcibly breaks up the alliance to save face.]]
485* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Has a huge one in episode 42 when Tekkadan is slaughtering his forces, he realizes that [=McMurdo=] has abandoned him and that Iok isn't coming.]]
486* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Helped frame the Turbines (who are mostly women and children) to give Iok the justification to blow them all away. He later threatens them all more directly after Naze's death to goad Tekkadan into a confrontation.]]

491[[folder:Todo Mirconen]]
492!!!Voiced by: Creator/YutakaAoyama (Japanese), Creator/KirkThornton (English)
493One of the First Group defectors remaining in Tekkadan, and allowed to sit in on Orga's meetings due to rank alone. Back then his only real role was to yell at the kids and keep them in line, and he's not one to throw out the old ways...
494----
495* DangerousDeserter: Of a sort. [[spoiler: After being kicked out of the airlock by Orga, he is instructed by Gjallarhorn to stop or slow down Tekkadan, which he does by bribing the Brewers to attack them. And he's currently kept by Montag as his informant and right-hand man.]]
496* DirtyCoward: He's a lot less loudmouthed after the CGS takeover, and with good reason.
497* HateSink: No one likes him, mostly due to being totally unsympathetic and having [[GodwinsLaw a mustache like Hitler]].
498* IFightForTheStrongestSide: After Orga expels the First Group, Todo decides to stick around since he saw Orga's squad as his meal ticket. After Mikazuki kills Crank, fearing retaliation from Gjallarhorn, [[spoiler: Todo becomes a Mole and later jumps ship after Orga kicks him out.]]
499* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Shown to get well-off thanks to working as [=McGillis'=] informant at the end of Episode 25.]]
500** In Episode 49, [[spoiler: he still manages to escape with his life after [=McGillis=] dissolves both the Montag Company and the Revolutionary Fleet.]]
501* PetTheDog: Believe it or not, [[spoiler:he actually does [=McGillis=] a solid by arranging a shuttle to him to Mars incognito.]]
502* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: He sells Tekkadan out to Gjallarhorn, only to learn that Gjallarhorn and the Orcus Company don't have any qualms with killing him along with the rest of Tekkadan. Subverted as [[DoWithHimAsYouWill he's delivered to Gjallarhorn alive and well, kinda]].]]

505
506[[folder:Maruba Arkay]]
507!!!Voiced by: Creator/KatsuhisaHouki (Japanese), John Snyder (English)
508The ''actual'' head of CGS, which is technically a non-combat role. So fleeing the moment Gjallahorn came knocking? [[BlatantLies Totally reasonable.]]
509----
510* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Maruba, who abused the Tekkadan kids and treated them as quasi-slave labor, winds up becoming a slave himself when he's sent to one of Teiwaz's mines to work off the debt he accrued with them.
511* BadBoss: Discounting everything else, he's responsible for enforcing the Alaya-Vijnana system on all the kids, acquired in bulk on the cheap since they're all "human debris", literally dumping the 40% that were crippled in the process after berating the failures as useless. At least 1 committed suicide over this. And Orga's most likely the only one he can ''name.''
512* CommutingOnABus: Disappeared for about 6 eps, resurfacing only after he'd found new backing... with [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily Teiwaz.]] After another 2 eps, he's out of the picture again.
513* DirtyCoward: Known mainly for being the first to flee when Gjallahorn showed up.
514* HiddenDepths: In the preview for episode 7, Nadi says that Maruba was a lot nicer in his youth. Maruba apparantly owned a pair of puppies that he used to dote on.
515* LesserOfTwoEvils: Orga acknowledges that while Maruba was a scumbag, it would be worse to leave the 1st Corps group in charge as they viewed the boys as even more expendable than Maruba did. That and their lack of brains would eventually leave them all dead. This led Orga to decide it'd be best to just cut out the middle man and run the joint himself. This is thrown out of the window in Episode 7 where Orga is ready to execute him and is only stopped by Naze, not because of morality but because he didn't want Maruba's blood to spill on his bridge.
516* MadeASlave: Naze forces him to become a slave miner to repay Teiwaz for the money Maruba's fruitless and unjustified quest for vengeance cost. [[AssholeVictim He totally deserved it]].
517* NeverMyFault: Cleared out the safe at CGS before he fled, and still expects Orga to hand over all the remaining assets. This would have included the Barbatos, which he never really knew the true value of.
518* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Right when Tekkadan needed Teiwaz, he brought their subsidiary the Turbines to them in an attempt to take back his property. The Turbines leader was so appalled once learning of Maruba's treatment of them that he was willing to hear Tekkadan out and get them the support they needed.
519* NonActionGuy: Runs CGS, but isn't a combatant like his employees.
520* SatelliteCharacter: Not even to another character, but to the developments of CGS.
521* TookALevelInJerkass: InUniverse, Nadi mentions that he knew Maruba when he was younger and he wasn't nearly as much of an asshole as he was in the present.
522[[/folder]]
523
524[[folder:Haeda Gunnel]]
525!!!Voiced by: Creator/TaroYamaguchi (Japanese), Creator/RichardEpcar (English)
526The leader of CGS's first division and main commander of their forces.
527----
528* AssholeVictim: Haeda's death is in part to demonstrate how cold and violent Mikazuki is as he dispassionately executes Haeda as he's tied up. Up till that point Haeda was depicted as a violent abusive bully who abandoned the third division to die and then blamed and attacked Orga when he objected. Killing him shows Mika's darker side but still keeps him sympathetic.
529* BadBoss: Much like Maruba though Haeda's much more physical about it. He's quick to strike the kids under his command and throw his weight around. The first opening features him punching them in the face as they stand at attention.
530* TheDragon: As the First Group leader, Haeda is (or was) Maruba's main enforcer.
531* HateSink: Haeda's limited role in the show is to give someone for the audience to hate and root against. He's abrasive, violent, demeaning, and frequently beats children. Maruba's unpleasantness is largely balanced by comedy at his expense and Haeda's abandoning the kids to Gjallahorn makes him more of a target for hate than the largely faceless Gjallahorn soldiers.
532* WeHardlyKnewYe: Barely lasts three episodes before being killed off.

541* ArcVillain: For the "Brewers" arc, which comprises the first portion of Tekkadan's journey to Earth.
542* MirroringFactions: The actual children soldiers, the "human debris," are not that different than the way Tekkadan were treated when they were still on Mars. Orga realizes this and [[spoiler: offers them sanctuary.]]
543* SpacePirates: Their job is to rob and salvage the unfortunate space travelers, and [[RuthlessModernPirates they are serious about it]].
544[[/folder]]
545
546[[folder:Brooke Kabayan]]
547!!!Voiced by: Taketora (Japanese), Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (English)
548The leader of the Brewers.
549----
550* {{Expy}}: Bears quite a strong resemblance to Commander Hitlin, StarterVillain of the obscure ''Gundam vs. [[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon Ideon]]'' manga.
551* FatBastard: He is the leader of a ruthless band of piratical slavers, and his unpleasantly saggy gut illustrates his greed as much as do his porcine facial features and tacky gold jewelry, particularly when contrasted with his army of skeletal child soldiers.
552* {{Gonk}}: He has a deliberately hideous character design. From the nose and ears, there might even be some ''pig'' in his bloodline.
553* MeaningfulName: Other possible [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization romanizations]] for Brooke Kabayan's first name are "Bulok," a [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] word for "rotten," and "Buruk" which has the same or close meanings in Bahasa UsefulNotes/{{Indonesia}} and [[UsefulNotes/{{Malaysia}} Melayu]]. With his last name, it makes up "bulok [na] kabayan," a rotten/bad compatriot in Filipino.
554* NonActionBigBad: Though the Brewers are an ArcVillain for part of Tekkadan's trip, [[DragonInChief Kudal]] is the primary threat rather than Kabayan. After Kudal's defeat and the loss of most of their forces, Kabayan gives up without a fight.
555* NonIndicativeName:
556** His surname, ''kabayan'', is technically the Filipino term for "neighbor" or "townmate," which normally would imply camaraderie and solidarity. The kind of outfit he runs in the Brewers is too exploitative and callous to merit that.
557** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabayan Kabayan]] is also the name of an Indonesian FolkHero. He is anything but heroic.
558* OhCrap: [[spoiler: His reaction when he realizes that Tekkadan and Teiwaz's ambush has completely screwed him over.]]

561[[folder:Kudal Cadel]]
562!!!Voiced by: Creator/YoshinoriFujita (Japanese), Tom Fahn (English)
563[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/msg_ibo_kudal_cadel_character_design.png]]
564-> '''Main mecha''': ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion
565
566The field commander of the Brewers. Noted to issue cruel instructions to his subordinates.
567----
568* AgentPeacock: He may look effeminate, but his enormous build isn't (just) for show, and with the Gundam Gusion, he's a terrifying beast on the battlefield.
569* AxCrazy: He looks like a walking ball of barely-controllable violence, and looks are absolutely not deceiving, whether he's rampaging across the battlefield in the Gusion or pummelling one of the child-slaves who serve as the Brewers' expendable soldiers.
570* BadBoss: His behavior towards his subordinates is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from an AxCrazy killing machine in charge of a bunch of enslaved child soldiers. Translation: beatings, and lots of them.
571* BiggerIsBetter: Kudal is not a man you're likely to convince that size isn't everything. He's downed steroids by the bucketload to give himself the biggest possible muscles, modified his face to give himself the biggest, craziest SlasherSmile, and used the mighty power output of an incomplete Gundam Frame by customizing it into a hulking armored beast loaded with grotesquely oversized weapons including a rocket-powered hammer with a head the size of an ordinary mobile suit's torso and ''four'' huge cannons apparently borrowed from a warship's turret. The things' so heavily armored that, despite completely dominating Kudal during their second battle, the machine barely suffers more than scratch damage and Mikazuki is only able to put it down by sliding his sword thought a gap in its armor and into its cockpit.
572* TheBrute: He's Kabayan's prize attack dog, and that's pretty much all there is to him.
573* CardCarryingVillain: Proudly announces himself and his mecha, in stark contrast to the more nonverbal Akihiro and Mika.
574* ChestBlaster: The Gusion has not one but four of the largest conventional guns ever attached to a mobile suit built into its chest, the 400mm 'Buster Anchors'. Their fixed firing position and limited range make them difficult to use in a suit fight, but they can crack a ship's hull open like an egg.
575* DirtyCoward: For all of his earlier boasting and abuse, Kudal spends a good portion of episode 12 ''running'' from Mika and big bad Barbatos, and is quite obviously scared shitless while doing so. Tellingly he does it when [[spoiler: he runs out of Human Debris to fight in his place.]]
576* DragonInChief: Though Kabayan is the leader of the Brewers, it's Kudal that receives the most focus in the arc the group debuts in. As the field commander he's the main obstacle to Tekkaden, he's the one with more screen time, more on camera acts of villainy, and poses the larger threat to the heroes. It's Kudal's defeat that spells the end of the Brewers as a threat with Kabayan being a NonActionBigBad who folds quickly under Naze and Orga.
577* GlasgowGrin: A deliberate, cosmetic one. He's had his mouth widened at the corners, giving him a constant SlasherSmile regardless of his mood.
578* {{Gonk}}: Deliberately invoked. He would normally have a cruel but not especially ugly face, but the body-mods he had done to make himself look more fearsome push him right the way through this trope to the edge of FacialHorror.
579* GrenadeSpam: The inner surfaces of the Gusion's skirt plating are lined with large anti-suit grenades, which can either be thrown manually or jettisoned en masse to give a pursuing enemy a nasty surprise.
580* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Gets cut in half vertically by Mikazuki. He had it coming.]]
581* HateSink: He is ugly, arrogant, and in a setting where [[DeliberateValuesDissonance child slavery is widely accepted]], he holds the dubious honor of being the first [[BadBoss to use death threats and have the violence to back it up]].
582* LightningBruiser: The Gusion is powered by a Gundam Frame's mighty twin reactors, and it puts a particular emphasis on the 'bruiser' bit. Its massive weapons and equally massive armor allow it to simply barge through the battlefield without slowing down, and compromise its speed and strength far less than one might hope.
583** This is an obvious trade-off in terms of stamina compared to the other Gundams because of the fuel requirements needed to keep the giant sit in motion, essentially turning it into a case of CripplingOverspecialization due to its reliance on firepower in any fight that lasts beyond the first few hits.
584* ObviouslyEvil: Narrow, crazy eyes? Check. Permanent, artificial SlasherSmile? Check. Bondage collar? Check. Wild, creepy-looking body-modifications including a ''forked tongue''? Check. [[SarcasmMode Yep, definitely a nice, approachable guy]].
585* OverlyLongTongue: Just to give his constant SlasherSmile that extra dose of crazy. To emphasize this, he's had it bifurcated, giving it a snake-like fork.
586* PaperTiger: For all his ramblings and threats, [[spoiler: he gets easily beaten by Mikazuki in the Barbatos after he runs out of Human Debris grunts to fight with him.]]
587* PerpetualSmiler: Courtesy of his body-mods. The results when he tries to frown with his altered mouth are quite alarming.
588* RedRightHand: The first shot of him has him display his ManiacTongue, which has been bifurcated. His heavily modified body is used as a kind of shorthand to portray him as unsettling and monstrous compared to the heroes.
589* SlasherSmile: He's happy to do it on his own, but he's given himself some help, artificially widening his mouth to give himself a permanent, deranged grin.
590* TopHeavyGuy: A realistic example. He has the sort of triangular physique you only see on the most steroid-pumped of body-builders, adding to his fearsome appearance.
591* SissyVillain: His piercings, eyeshadow, and dyed hair emphasize both his vanity and his savagery. [[note]]It doesn't help that WordOfGod stated that he tends to use an effeminate accent, it's printed right on the box of HG Gundam Gusion model kit.[[/note]]
592* WouldHurtAChild: He beats his Human Debris subordinates when they fail him.
593* VillainBall: A skilled pilot he may be, but his battlefield strategies and tactics are sorely lacking. He becomes so fixated on beating the Barbatos that he forgets to keep track of the Man Rodi squad backing him, and even ''destroys the last one himself.'' [[spoiler: Unsurprisingly, he gets killed for it]].
594* YouHaveFailedMe: Tells Masahiro that if he fails the Brewers again, he'll throw all of the Human Debris pilots out the airlock without clothes.

597[[folder:Masahiro Altland]]
598!!!Voiced by: Creator/SeiichiroYamashita (Japanese, teenager), Creator/{{Lynn}} (Japanese, young), Creator/ChrisHackney (English, teenager), Creator/WendeeLee (English, young)
599-> '''Main mecha''': UGY-R41 Man Rodi
600
601A ChildSoldier under Kudal, Akihiro's younger brother who was later forced into the Brewers.
602----
603* BrainComputerInterface: Just like the Third Group, he uses the same Ālaya-Vijñāna system to directly link him to the machines he pilots.
604* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler: He calms down just before his death and wishes to be reborn to be with his brother.]]
605* MadeASlave: Was sold to the Brewers as "Human Debris".
606* SanitySlippage: He completely loses it when he learns that Akihiro has a new family in Tekkadan since he was enslaved. Which leads to [[spoiler: Masahiro deliberately getting crushed by Gundam Gusion's Hammer.]]
607[[/folder]]
608
609!!Dawn Horizon Corps
610Another {{Space Pirate|s}} group featured at the beginning of Season 2. They're hired by a CorruptCorporateExecutive to off Kudelia Aina Bernstein for not supporting his company.
611----
612[[folder:Dawn Horizon Corps as a whole]]
613* HiredGuns: Essentially their job, as they're hired by a shady company owner to kill Kudelia.
614* SpacePirates: Much like the Brewers before them.
615* WarmUpBoss: They're the antagonists for the first few episodes of Season 2, and pave the way for the Arianrhod Fleet that appears not too long after them.

617
618[[folder:Sandoval Reuters]]
619[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sandoval_reuters.png]]
620!!!Voiced by: Creator/TaitenKusunoki (Japanese), Chris Jai Alex (English)
621-> '''Main mecha''': IPP-66305 Hugo
622Leader of the Dawn Horizon Corps. His capture becomes the main objective of both Tekkadan, [=McGillis=]' forces, and the Arianrhod Fleet of Rustal Elion at the start of Season 2.
623* AceCustom: His Hugo, which has a unique paint scheme, and what appears to be more weapons than the usual loadout for similar units of its type.
624* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He proves this when he decides to fight both Tekkadan and Gjallarhorn head on in the face of his men getting wiped out. He even manages to destroy several Arianrhod Grazes in a span of minutes, and fight Mikazuki and Julieta for a while longer before he's captured.
625* BigBadWannabe: He thinks of himself as a threat, but in reality, the only reason he wasn't crushed in a CurbStompBattle is because Mikazuki and Julia were fighting amongst themselves to be the one to take him down and get the bounty. In the end, he was perfectly harmless to them.
626* CombinationAttack: While he is pretty skilled on his own, enough to easily dominate the more advanced Gjallarhorn standard mobile suits with his Hugo (which is one of the most basic mobile suits around being a Mook suit back from the Calmaity War) he and his groups real strength is working in combination with his two pirate subordinates own Hugos to pin the enemy down while he goes for the killing blow. This almost works against Julieta but she's able to eject the parts they'd grappled onto and escape. Once Mikazuki and Isurugi join the fray as well, even if they are competing against Julieta for the win, there's too many opponents for this strategy to work as trying to pin one down leaves them open to attack from the others. Once Sandoval is seperated from his bodyguards Mikazuki is able to take him out in short order.
627* DualWielding: He wields dual Scimitars in his final stand against Mikazuki and Julieta.
628* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Mika pins his suit and starts one of his trademark {{No Holds Barred Beatdown}}s, he surrenders before he ends up too badly hurt. Mika is actually quite relieved by this, mentioning that he finds it difficult to capture enemies alive.
629* StarterVillain: For Season 2. He's the first antagonist encountered by Tekkadan, but he and his pirate group are swiftly dealt with by no less than ''three'' factions out for his bounty.
630* VillainousValor: Upon realizing his fleet is cornered, rather than retreat, he suits up and challenges Tekkadan and Gjallarhorn himself.
631[[/folder]]
632
633!!Arbrau
634
635One of Earth's four power blocs. Arbrau's territory consists primarily of Russia, Alaska, and Canada.
636----
637
638[[folder:Henri Fleurs]]
639!!!Voiced by: Creator/YokoSoumi (Japanese), Creator/WendeeLee (English)
640A member of Arbrau's parliament. Following Makanai's exile, she plans to become the next prime minister.
641----
642* GenderBlenderName: "Henri" is not typically used as a woman's name. Perhaps it's short for "Henrietta?"
643* OutGambitted: [=McGillis=] uses the [[spoiler:Graze Ein fiasco]] to expose her scheming with Iznario, hampering her political ambitions.
644* PowerHair: Notable as she's shown undoing all of it once inside the limo. [[CompressedHair Not as much as Kudelia, but still a lot.]] Subverted, as it turns out to be a wig at end of the series.
645* SleazyPolitician: Is colluding with Iznario in order to become Prime Minister following Makanai's forced resignation.
646[[/folder]]
647
648[[folder:Togonosuke Makanai]]
649!!!Voiced by: Mugihito (Japanese), Stephen Mendel (English)
650The former prime minister of Arbrau, he was suspected of corruption and was forced to step down. Shortly after he negotiated with Kudelia regarding lifting the ban on Martian half-metal resource trading.
651----
652* AnimeHair: While he is mostly bald, his remaining hair, eyebrows and especially his big voluminous beard are very twisty and spiky.
653* EvilOldFolks: Subverted. Kudelia during season 1 included him amongst the number of corrupt figures she knew (Nobliss, [=McGillis=]) who she trusted in order to help her and Tekkadan's cause and he is very much concerned with his power and reclaiming his former position. During the time skip, however, Kudelia came to greatly respect him and he comes to view her as a worthy successor.
654* IOweYouMyLife: He feels gratitude for Tekkadan protecting him and getting him to the capital. [[spoiler:In season 2 he feels indebted to Chad for shielding him from what would have been a fatal bombing. He agrees to alter the records of the kids to help them disappear because of Chad's actions]].
655* JustTheFirstCitizen: Invoked. Despite having stepped down, his unseen list of dealings and political clout ensures that he still has some sway over political decisions. He could turn over Tekkadan to Gjallarhorn without his fingers ever touching the silver platter.
656* LongLived: He is ''over 180 years old''. Supplementary material reveals that [[LongevityTreatment advanced medical technology]] makes it possible for people to live up to 200 years, but only for the wealthy.
657* TheMentor: Became one towards Kudelia between seasons 1 and 2. He eventually decides to make her his successor.
658* OddNameOut: The most Japanese-sounding name in the whole show. His name is also written in mostly kanji, as opposed to katakana.
659* OnlySaneMan: When the entire Tekkadan is busy avenging their fallen allies, he calmly pointed out that moving on is the only solution.
660* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is the only major politician in the Earth Sphere who is willing to address the Martian issue and gives Kudelia the pulpit she needs in the season finale. [[spoiler: He later gives Takaki a job after he quits Tekkadan and also agrees to risk his career to help Tekkadan fake their deaths.]]
661* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler: In the epilogue, he is revealed to have passed away in the years that followed the end of Tekkadan, with his legacy passed down to Kudelia.]]
662[[/folder]]
663
664[[folder:"Galan Mossa" / The Bearded Man]]
665!!!Voiced by: Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese) Creator/LexLang (English)
666->'''Main mecha:''' EB-04 Geirail
667A mercenary aligned with the Arbrau military who is also on the payroll of Gjallarhorn's Arianrhod fleet.
668----
669* AceCustom: While his Geirail is still as much of TheAllegedCar as any other, Galan had his Geirail arranged by Rustal Elion to make things a little easier for himself; it has replacement parts from other machines to modify its signature, meaning that the enemy won't know what model of suit is coming after them and can't prepare accordingly, and has a unique pickel weapon that lets it relegate its ax-shield to EmergencyWeapon status.
670* AcePilot: Galan is good enough in a suit to excel despite piloting a Geirail, a Graze predecessor whose only merit at the time was being a modern mobile suit in a world that no longer had the ability to produce Ahab Reactors themselves anymore, and these days is the most budget of budget mercenary weapons.
671* TheAllegedCar: His MS of choice is the Geirail, which is the previous generation of the Graze (put simply, the Geirail is to the Graze as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Zaku I is to the Zaku II]]). It has poor armor distribution, clunky equipment, and doesn't stand out in any regard; Only a few of these machines were used by regional Gjallarhorn organizations. Galan's Geirail has a few minor adjustments, like parts to disguise its Ahab Reactor signature and a pickaxe as its primary melee weapon (since the stock Geirail's weapon is an ax that doubles as a shield), but nothing that takes it out of qualifying for this trope.
672* ArcVillain: For the Arbrau-SAU war arc, as he's the instigator of the conflict.
673* BaddieFlattery: To Akihiro, while they fight. It is surprisingly sincere and helpful, given his disdain for child soldiers.
674* BeardOfEvil: Galan is a rough, ruthless man responsible for terrible things, and his heavy beard emphasizes his uncivilized vibe.
675* BloodKnight: He appears to really love battles just for the sake of the fight. And to him it doesn't matter what you fight for, be it for revenge, to protect someone or something, or something you believe in, as long as you fight.
676* EvilMentor: Julieta reveals that it was he who trained her in combat and recommended her to Rustal.
677* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Ali-al Saachez]]. Both are mercenaries manipulating child soldiers and fighting for the thrill of it.
678* FauxAffablyEvil: Galan appears to be very friendly, but as soon as no one he wants to manipulate is watching, he becomes cold and ruthless.
679* HiddenDepths: He is not just a manipulative killer, as his final episode shows - everything he did to himself and everyone else was out of loyalty and respect for his commander, Rustal, and his ideals, and he spends much of his final fight offering apparently sincere, well-intentioned advice to Akihiro on why he's too nice for mercenary work and should consider a career change before it's too late.
680* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler: After the attempt on Makanai's life, which Galan was behind, Galan is placed in charge of Arbrau's military response.]]
681* NerfArm: The Geirail is just a bad suit, no bones about it, and as an Arianrhod agent, he should have the pick of the litter. His use of it appears to be nothing more than an effort to emphasize his scrappy underdog mercenary cred.
682* OnlyFriend: Rustal remained his only real contact after he shed his own identity [[spoiler: and as he dies, asks Rustal for forgiveness]].
683* TheStrategist: Galan is a master strategist capable of [[spoiler: keeping the war between Arbrau and the SAU lasting for weeks despite his side having the advantage with Tekkadan as an ally. At one point, he boasts that he could have drawn the war out for years if [=McGillis=] didn't force a decisive battle by taking the field personally.]]
684* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Subverted. When Akihiro attempts to crush Galan to death, Galan responds by triggering the Geirail's self-destruct. However, the explosion doesn't even scratch the Gusion. It's later revealed that Galan activated the self-destruct not to kill Akihiro, but to ensure that [=McGillis=] could not recover any of the information on Rustal that Galan stored on the Gerail's computer.]]
685* {{Unperson}}: The Bearded Man erased all evidence of his past to better serve Rustal as a spy. Nothing is ever revealed about his life beyond his loyalty to Rustal: even the name "Galan Mossa" is just his latest alias.
686* VillainousValor: [[spoiler: He doesn't hesitate to take on Akihiro, even though Akihiro's Gusion far overpowers Galan's Geirail.]]
687* WeakButSkilled: The most extreme example in the show. He pilots a Geirail, a hopelessly obsolete mobile suit, and yet can put up a credible fight against monsters like Akihiro and [=McGillis=] through pure piloting skill.
688[[/folder]]

690!!Others
691
692[[folder:Hashmal '''(SPOILERS)''']]
693[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_hashmal.png]]
694
695One of the Mobile Armors that battled against the Gundams during the Calamity War and brought untold destruction upon the human race. Though all of them were thought destroyed, Tekkadan finds a deactivated one buried in the Martian soil.
696----
697
698* ArcVillain: A rare one that still gives the status quo a kick in the iron-blooded nuts. [[spoiler: All the named characters survive, but Barbatos needs a total rebuild and Mika is crippled ''further''.]]
699* AllThereInTheManual: Gunpla events for ''Iron-Blooded Orphans'' reveal Hashmal, alongside Gundams Bael and Barbatos, were created by Agnika Kaieru's father.
700* BewareMyStingerTail: Has an incredibly long whip-like 'tail' made of flexible metal that it uses as its primary melee weapon. The fact it can pierce nano-laminate armor helps a lot.
701* CranialProcessingUnit: {{Downplayed}}. Its control unit is in the underside of its head, the least exposed part, but still [[AttackItsWeakPoint exposed enough to lead to its defeat]].
702* CurbStompBattle: At one point the Hashmal finds itself lured away from its Plumas and facing off against [[spoiler: Julieta, [=McGillis=], Ride and Isurugi]] at once. It proceeds to defeat them all without taking a single solid hit in return.
703* TheDreaded: Tekkadan is unaware of what they uncovered while mining half-metal on Mars. However, [=McGillis=] warns them that the thing they found was a mobile armor, which was also the cause of the Calamity War which killed nearly a quarter of humanity. In a bit of TemptingFate, he warns that approaching it too closely with a mobile suit may cause it to activate, as mobile suits were created specifically to fight mobile armor. Then Iok shows up trying to arrest [=McGillis=] for plotting a conspiracy and unwittingly turns it on when his suit gets too close to the mobile armor's resting site.
704* DroneDeployer: It has an onboard internal factory that can build a small army of Pluma robots that perform multiple functions. These include [[MookMedic repairing battle damage]] and [[EasyLogistics scavenging fuel and raw materials]] to [[MookMaker build more Plumas.]]
705* {{Expy}}:
706** To [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Sid]]. Both are huge, dangerous automated weapons from a war of the past, both are avian shaped with wings, and both possess dangerous beam weaponry not used by modern mobile weapons.
707** Its color scheme, though muted, harkens back to the AMX-004 Qubeley, the notorious Haman Karn's suit during [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the First]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Neo-Zeon wars]].
708** Its appearance, mouth-mounted energy weapon, and AI-controlled nature also make it quite similar to [[VideoGame/MetalGear Metal Gear RAY.]]
709** Above all, however, it resembles nothing so much as the merciless [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Devil Gundam]]. A mechanical monster using armies of self-replicating MechaMooks bent on eradicating humankind for reasons nobody can truly fathom. This is even more apparent in its abovementioned backstory, where it is also defeated (the first time around) by the son of its own creator.
710* ItCanThink: It has enough intelligence to devise basic combat strategies and knows to target supply bases to gather fuel and ammunition for both itself and its flock of Plumas. Once fully supplied, however, it starts going after its real target: people.
711* KeystoneArmy: The flock of Plumas that accompany the Hashmal is incapable of independent initiative due to them relying on power being received via Hashmal's microwave-emitters. Should Hashmal fall, the emitters become damaged beyond functional use or simply get out of range, the Pluma will cease functioning.
712* KillAllHumans: Its sole drive is to kill as many humans as it possibly can.
713* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSGncT8UwW4 Hashmal: The legend of the Calamity War]]"
714* LightIsNotGood: A relentless killing machine, ironically named after an angel.
715* LightningBruiser: The machine is incredibly agile despite its size, and on top of being incredibly tough is also able to hit really hard. Being A.I-controlled, the Hashmal can react far faster than any human. Only users of the Alaya-Vijnana system can feasibly match a Mobile Armor in direct melee combat. Even worse, it turns out all Alaya-Vijnana systems used in modern times operate in safe-mode by default, and removing this limiter in order to fight a Mobile Armor can cause permanent neurological damage.
716* LostSuperweapon: It's been buried beneath the sand dunes of Mars for centuries in an inactive state after a fierce battle in orbit against multiple Gundam frames caused it to crash onto the surface. The reason it wasn't detected earlier was because it landed in a huge half-metal field which disrupts scanners.
717* MechanicalAbomination: It and other Mobile Armors are {{Ancient Evil}}s that caused the Calamity War which wiped out at a quarter of humanity, the resulting BanOnAI meaning 300 years later the idea of an autonomous weapon is is a alien concept to many. They also posses inhumane designs, advanced and LostTechnology, and capabilities that leave even the [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror hardened soldiers of Tekkadan]] horrified. Such is their power that all the factions together are barley able to slow it and it's stated and shown as humanly impossible to directly fight, only though the inhuman abilities granted by the Alaya-Vijnana can they be beaten [[BrokeYour Arm PunchingOutCthulhu at heavy price for the user]].
718* MutualKill: [[spoiler: With the Barbatos Lupus. It succeeds in comprehensively wrecking the Lupus form beyond repair and shredding most of the Gundam Frame underneath before dying.]]
719* MookMaker: The Hashmal is able to create a swarm of smaller mobile armors, called Plumas, to both fight alongside it as well as to scavenge resources and repair the machine.
720* MythicalMotifs: Hashmal's bodily structure is somewhat avian, but also resembles two-legged depictions of dragon. Mobile Armors are also voracious, destructive monsters that were slayed by the "knights" (i.e. mobile suits) of Gjallarhorn.
721* OutsideContextProblem: Tekkadan unearths this thing completely by accident, thinking it's a machine they might be able to add to their fighting force. Turns out it's one of the CAUSES of the Calamity War, armed with lost technology such as beam weaponry and a flexible blade, manned by an AI, armed with the Post Disaster equivalent of funnels/bits, and overall makes the Graze Ein look like an origami crane in comparison. Loads of artillery, specialized plans, separating it from its Plumas, and a joint attack by 4 MS ''didn't even so much as SCRATCH it's paint job.'' It took Mika unlocking Barbatos' limiter a second time (like with the Graze Ein), borrowing an enormous sword, and outright tanking and parrying Hashmal's attacks with its bare hands to kill it, outright wrecking the Lupus in the process. And the only way he was able to make it happen was with a MutualKill after tearing off multiple pieces of its armor. Its appearance comes out of left field both in-universe and for the viewers, and it's easily the most dangerous threat on the show and would have easily wiped out all life on Mars if it hadn't been stopped.
722* {{Robeast}}: In this continuity, Mobile Armors are AI-operated, animal-like mecha much larger than mobile suits that seek to destroy as many humans as possible. The Gundam frames and other mobile suits were originally created to destroy them and have an inherent antagonism: the presence of a Mobile Armor can induce an Alaya-Vijnana system to release its limitations, whereas the Ahab reactors in all mobile suits can wake a Mobile Armor from its slumber.
723* SealedEvilInACan: Nobody even knew this thing was around until Tekkadan started [[DugTooDeep mining the half-metal field it was buried in.]]
724* SpannerInTheWorks: It's a major threat on it's own, but long term the fallout from the battle with it basically seals the fate of several characters. In short, if Hashmal had remained asleep the whole second half of the season might have been different and much better for the majority of the cast.
725** [[spoiler:Because Flauros was used to stop it, and Iok develops a grudge against Tekkadan for the incident, this leads to Jasley and Iok conspiring to frame the Turbines for an illegal weapon leading to Naze and Amida's and Lafter's deaths, and Orga having to break away from Teiwaz to get Jasley. Because Mikazuki is crippled defeating, it he gives up on any non combat life and doubles down on his self destructive tendenices, and Orga, out of guilt and lack of options thanks to having to leave Teiwaz, goes all in with [=McGillis's=] rebellion.]]
726** [[spoiler:[=McGillis=] who was having second thoughts and suspecting that Rustal was onto him is convinced to go through with his rebellion anyway because Mikazuki's battle convinces him he can win with the power of the Gundam's. This leads to all of them attempting the rebellion and failing which leads to Mikazuki, Orga, [=McGillis=] and many other prominent main characters dying in the end.]]
727* SuperReflexes: Part of what makes it so dangerous is it's able to react far faster than human reflexes such even the best BadassNormal pilots are unable to land a meaningful blow on it and are quickly trounced. Only by using the superhuman abilities granted by the Alaya-Vijnana [[HeroicRROD with the safety limiters disengaged]] can it be fought against evenly.
728* VillainousLegacy: Hashmal and its fellow Mobile Armors are the reason the Post Disaster era is the CrapsackWorld it is over 300 year after they were destroyed or sealed away.
729* WalkingSpoiler: You can't discuss Hashmal without spoiling TheReveal about [[RobotWar the nature of the Calamity War]].
730* WaveMotionGun: It fires a massive particle beam from its front, capable of destroying small landscapes. Amusingly, despite looking incredibly flashy, [[WeaksauceWeakness it's virtually useless against anything with Nano-Laminate Armor.]] Less amusingly, the beam will reflect off of the armor and spread in dozens of smaller beams as a result, which can wipe out a civilian settlement in a single shot by way of a pilot's attempt of TakingTheBullet.
731* WreckedWeapon: Its tail blade gets broken by the Barbatos repeatedly ''punching'' it, busting its hand in the process. It's still so fast it's hard to see and doesn't make it any less dangerous.
732* ZergRush: The Plumas that follow the Hashmal around don't pose much of a threat on their own. Instead, they gang up on single targets and overwhelm them through sheer numbers.
