HEERO YUY

This mysterious youth was sent from the L1 space colony cluster to fight against Oz. He goes by the alias Heero Yuy, after the martyred leader of the space colonies; his real name, like almost everything else about him, is unknown. Heero has been trained since childhood for his role as pilot of the Wing Gundam, an upbringing that has made him cold and ruthless. But thanks to his years of training, Heero has become a perfect soldier equally skilled in personal combat, explosives, and computer hacking.


DUO MAXWELL

Duo is a member of the scavenger organization known as the Sweeper Group, which sent him to Earth to battle Oz. Despite the hardships he's suffered in his young life, and the seriousness of his mission, Duo is always cheerful and good-natured. But when he goes into battle as pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe, striking from the shadows with its lethal beam scythe, he truly earns his nickname "God of Death."


TROWA BARTON

The most mysterious of the Gundam pilots, the young man who calls himself Trowa was sent to Earth as the pilot of the Gundam Heavyarms. The cool, quiet Trowa has nerves of steel and superb reflexes, qualities which serve him well in his cover identity as an acrobatic clown in a traveling circus troupe. He also has soldiering experience far beyond his years. When combined with his heavily-armed Gundam, Trowa's tactical skill and combat ability make him a veritable one-man army.


QUATRE RABERBA WINNER

Quatre is a young aristocrat, the thirtieth child - and only son - of a wealthy family of space colony developers. Though he's the most tender-hearted and gentle of the Gundam pilots, Quatre is just as brave and determined, and has defied his family's wishes in order to join the battle against Oz. Quatre is aided by a troop of forty loyal underlings and can draw on the Winner family's vast resources, assets which more than make up for his relative lack of fighting skill.


CHANG WUFEI

Wufei is the descendant of a legendary Chinese warrior clan, who sent him to Earth to fight against Oz. This proud fighter lives by a strict code of honor, punishing evil and enforcing justice as he sees fit. Wufei prefers to operate solo, since he has little patience for lesser warriors. These high standards make him equally contemptuous of his own failings in battle. The only ally he trusts is his Shenlong Gundam, which he has nicknamed "Nataku" after a hero of Chinese mythology.

RELENA DARLIAN

Relena is the pampered daughter of the Earth Alliance's vice minister for foreign affairs. Her father is responsible for the negotiations with the space colonists, an assignment which leaves Mr. Darlian little time for his wife and child. Her family's wealth and status make Relena the star of her private school's social scene, but do little to reduce her boredom and loneliness. When her quiet existence is disrupted by the Gundam pilots, this poor little rich girl discovers her own, previously untapped, reserves of strength and courage.

ZECHS MERQUISE

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.

MILLARDO PEACECRAFT

Long thought dead (by everyone except faithful Noin), the man previously known as OZ's "Lightning Count" and White Fang leader Milliardo Peacecraft returns to take on a new identity. Now he is Preventer Wind, who snuffs out the fires of war. Can Zechs, the man who a year earlier was bent on destroying the world, be trusted to help save it?
