Char Aznable

Char Aznable (シャア・アズナブル) is one of the most iconic characters of the Gundam series. Nicknamed the "Red Comet" (赤い彗星), he is known as a quick and fearsome pilot and strategical leader. When he finds himself struggling against Amuro's piloting, he considers the younger pilot to be his arch rival. He has several trademarks, some of which include his red tinted clothing and Mobile Suits. He has a younger sister named Sayla Mass but she is omitted from the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam titles.

During Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, he is also known under one of his aliases, Quattro Bajeena.

Mission Mode
Char shares both of his stories with Amuro. In Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, he decides to investigate a planet's mysterious legend with his trusted subordinates, Apolly and Roberto. While they were searching the surface, they encounter Amuro and Hayato. Though their hostility towards one another remains, they both decide to collaborate together on their search.

His story in the second title follows his Char's Counterattack persona. Both men believe that they are leaders for humanity's future. In Char's case, he believes that mankind is a worthless vice for earth and challenges his rival to prove him otherwise. During his scenario, he is lead by Lalah's ghost to certain conflicts in the field. Before long, his destructive path gets Amuro's attention and he challenges Char to a final showdown. The location is the same place where they fought during the end of the One Year War. After Amuro is shot down, Char relates that his victory feels empty and wonders if he just lost a worthy rival.

In other characters' Mission Modes, he and Amuro may randomly appear to attack the player. He may also appear with Quess and the player is given the opportunity to defeat either pilot to stop their rendezvous on the field. He has several extra missions dedicated to his Mobile Suits or personality; his line about a pilot's abilities being more important than their Suit is quoted more than once by other characters.

Personality
When he is first introduced, Char is a revolutionary soldier whose abilities were recognized by many. Coming from a humane background, his views of the world are twisted when he plots for his revenge against the Zabi family. His true loyalties to any faction remain unclear as he can cleverly deceive anyone who may serve his purposes. Though a sly individual, he also radiates charming professionalism that makes him popular with the people he works with. He acts modestly to the praise given to him though he won't hesitate to speak a satirical quip towards Amuro. He has an affinity for younger pilots and willingly volunteers to act as mentor figures for them. He mainly exhibits this trait with Kamille when acting as Lieutenant Quattro.

Since he acts as a noble gentlemen, he is popular with the ladies. It's probable, however, that the only woman that he's ever truly loved was Lalah Sune and he blames Amuro as her murderer. Though he was romantically involved with her, he states that she could have been his surrogate mother in Char's Counterattack. During this time frame, he also becomes more bitter and shallow. Presumably, his hidden agenda for his war against earth was to settle his score with Amuro.
