Anavel Gato

Anavel Gato (アナベル・ガトー) is one of the primary antagonists in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 STARDUST MEMORY and Kou Uraki's rival. During the One Year War (Mobile Suit Gundam), he was a superb ace of the Zeon forces who gained a legendary reputation for shooting down 200 Federation Mobile Suits. Gato became feared as the "Nightmare of Solomon" (ソロモンの悪夢) under Dolze Zabi's battalion. When his Mobile Suit was checked in for repairs during the One Year War's climatic battle, he was reluctantly among the Zeon survivors.

Stifling his urge to avenge Zeon's defeat, Gato spent a year in confinement on the moon. From there, he eventually regrouped with his superior, Aiguille Delaz, three years into the armistice between the Earth Federation and Zeon. He disguises himself as a Federation soldier and successfully hijacks one of the Gundam prototypes, Gundam 02, for the spacenoids. Using the mecha to denounce the Federation's side of the peace treaty, Gato and his faction revive the dream of their lost comrades to declare war on Earth.

Mission Mode
In the first game, Gato's main appearance is limited to Amuro Ray's last mission in Official Mode. He enters the field of A Baoa Qu and instantly destroys the Federation spaceship, Salamis. Not satisfied with his prey, Gato charges for Amuro's location. When Amuro tries to conquer the core, Gato will try to intercept him again. Upon his second defeat, Gato begrudgingly retreats from A Baoa Qu to ensure his survival.

Personality
A zealot for Zeon's cause, Gato believes in the pure integrity of the Zabi family. He thinks it's a miracle that the Federation even beat the spacenoids and hates the feeling of Earth's gravity. Gato admires the wisdom and patience of his Delaz, swearing by his word to forever serve him. On the other hand, he reviles the "black hearted" Cima Garahau and barely puts up with her due to Delaz's presence.
