Paptimus Scirocco

Paptimus Scirocco (パプテマス・シロッコ) is the main antagonist in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Called the "man from Jupiter", he is a talented Newtype who is mysteriously called by most of the cast by his family name. In his final battle with Kamille, the head of Z Gundam's transformed state rammed into his torso. Using the last of his energies, he telepathically sends his hatred to the boy pilot, intent on taking his rival with him. This changes Kamille to child-like state, which takes years for him to recover. In the movie version of Zeta, however, he dies a normal death.

Mission Mode
In Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Scirocco goes to investigate the mysterious planet like the other pilots. At first, he only intended to do it himself and his women companions, Reccoa and Sarah. However, he eventually joins forces with two unlikely partners, Judau and Roux. While working with these two youngsters, he learns the value of friendship and teamwork. During his trip, he continues to treat ladies kindly and will rescue any one he finds in distress.

During the sequel, he decides to take a private trip to earth. Leaving Sarah to take of the Jupitris in his absence, he tries to sneak away. However, he is caught in various battles during his descent. Lunamaria challenges him to prove his worth so that he and ZAFT may safely proceed through the battlefields in space. Landing on earth for the first time, he begins to appreciate humanity's ties to the planet and defeats the Psyco Gundam piloted by Four. He confides in Sarah that he is the only person who can truly take care of earth, their true home planet. Promising to take her there someday, he returns to the Jupitris with renewed inspiration.

In other stories, he becomes Athrun's superior. Even so, he doesn't care much for the safety of his subordinates and seems to take some pleasure in manipulating them. As a reference to the first game, he also appears as a random enemy pilot with Judau and Roux. Every so often, a computerized Scirocco will pilot Devil Gundam.

Personality
A suave and manipulative individual, Scirocco is also a genius inventor and passionate speaker. Although he comes from a mysterious background, he gains his followers through his speeches of liberty. Known as a charming Casanova, Scirocco claims that he wants to create a world for women and acts as though he treats them equally.
