Trowa Barton

Trowa Barton (トロワ・バートン), real name being Triton Bloom, is one of the five main Gundam pilots of his respective canon. Early in his childhood, he was separated from his sister, Catherine, while also suffering a head injury that induced amnesia. Wandering as "No-name", he participated in a mercenary group that battled the Earthsphere alliance.

Eventually he ended worked as a mechanic for the Barton Foundation, where he witnessed the murder of the real Trowa Barton by Professor S, the scientist who constructed the Gundam Heavyarms. He offered to keep quiet about the murder to participate in Operation Metor. Triton was accepted, dons the Trowa name, and takes the Heavyarms to Earth. His civilian disguise for the operation is working at a circus.

Mission Mode
Trowa makes his appearance early within the “Those who Doubt” storyline as Nanai introduces him with another group of candidate pilots. He insists he has no name before telling them his codename. When Domon protests the idea of an alliance to Ribbons, Trowa shares some sympathy for the fighter's outburst. Regardless, he stays with Ribbons and company.

During the For Reform chapter, he notices Banagher's doubts for Ribbons and Char's methods of conquest. Trowa's sparse words of patronizing encouragement leads to Banagher to confront Char personally. After the youth learns Ribbons is alone, Trowa wordlessly accompanies him to assist the isolated pilot. Once the forces before them diminishes, Trowa bluntly explains the Innovator's reasons for secrecy to Banagher. Their encounter is the start of the pilots' understanding for one another.

Personality
Trowa is the silent and stoic pilot of the Gundam Heavyarms. Out of all of the five pilots, he is considered to have the most experience in combat.
