Zechs Merquise (Milliardo Peacecraft)

Zechs Merquise

"My hands are too stained with blood. I'm completely unfit to head the Peacecraft monarchy."

This masked warrior is Oz's top mobile suit pilot. Up until now, Oz has disguised itself as the Earth Federation's elite "Specials" taskforce, and Zechs has accumulated numerous distinctions during his career in the Specials. He earned the highest marks in the history of the Lake Victoria military academy, received the first two-rank promotion in the history of the Specials, and acquired the nickname "Lightning Baron" for his exploits. Zechs's accomplishments have made him a hero among Oz's soldiers, but this master soldier is cunning enough not to overestimate his own abilities or underestimate those of his enemies.

Tallgeese, Talgeese iii:


This twenty-year-old museum piece was the first military mobile suit, and is the common ancestor of both the Gundams and Oz's own mobile suits. Oz deemed the prototype Tallgeese too expensive to mass-produce and too hard to pilot, so the design was simplified and scaled down to create the standard Leo. As a result, the Tallgeese's specifications are superior to those of most modern mobile suits, and this mothballed prototype is the only thing in Oz's arsenal capable of fighting a Gundam. However, its high acceleration and instability make flying the Tallgeese hazardous for even the best of pilots.

Gundam Epyon:

This mysterious mobile suit is created by OZ leader Treize Khushrenada, based on data from the Tallgeese and the other Gundams. In keeping with Treize's philosophy, the Gundam Epyon eschews cowardly long-range weapons in favor of chivalrous close combat. Its main weapons are a segmented, whip-like heat rod, and a powerful beam sword whose energy is supplied by a direct connection to the Epyon's generator. The Epyon can also transform into a "mobile armor" mode for high-speed flight.
