薩克主義：MS時代的先行者

Char was a pilot for the Jion forces during the One Year War. His skill in combat earned him the nickname "The Red Comet" after he single-handedly destroyed five Union cruisers.

Born on Side 3, Char's real name was Cassovel Rem Daikun, and he, along with his sister Artasia, were taken spirited away by Jinba Ral after their father's assassination in 0068. Cassoval entered the Jion military academy at the age of 15 under his assumed name. At the academy, he befriended his fellow classmate Galma Zabi, youngest son of the Jion Archduke.

Char had vowed to take revenge on the Zabi's for the murder of his father. As a result of Char's treachery, Galma is killed over Europe while attacking the White Base.

Char was personally involved with Lalah Sun, a fellow pilot for the Jion forces, and a powerful Newtype. Lalah would find her perfect Newtype match with Amuro Rey, the pilot of the Gundam, and Char's nemisis. In a combat between the twoof them, Lalah was killed by Amuro when she threw herself in front of Char's mobilesuit to save him. Amuro and Char were both traumatized by the event. Theirpersonal battle reached it's climax in the Jion asteroid base Abawaku. After destroying each other's mobilesuits-Amuro's Gundam and Char's Jiong, they foughtwith rapiers. The battle was interrupted by Char's sister Saila, but now before Char had been left with a scar on his forehead.

Before escaping from Abawaku, Char would eliminate his apparent ally, KishiriaZabi, as she tried to escape the fortress. This would bring him closer to the completion of his vow: the death of the Zabi clan.

From Abawaku, Char would escape to the Jion asteroid Axis, in orbit outside ofcislunar space.

Years later, Quattro Bagina would surface, serving the AUEG in close capacity to Blex Forra whom he saved from an assassination attempt in 0085. Quattro Bajina was a pilot on board the Ahgama (which would be commanded by former White Base captain Bright Noah). His personal mobilesuit was the gold colored Hyaku Shiki (100 type), and his piloting skills would bring to mind the abilities of thelegendary Red Comet.

With the addition to the crew of Hayato Kobayashi and Kai Shiden, Char's identity didn't stay hidden very long. When Amuro reuinited with his former crew mates, it was certain (One of my favorite scenes from Zeta Gundam is when Amuro and Char finally first face each other again after all those years).

Char was believed to have been killed battling Haman Kahn during the final battle against the Titans, but he would resurface in 0090 as the leader of the second Neo-Jion. Char had changed in the ensuing years, and had decided to force his father's philosophy of Eleism-that man should leave Earth in order for it torestore itself-by impacting the surface with asteroids-blocking out the sun and making earth unliveable for humanity. It was the intervention of his old nemises-Amuro Rey and Bright Noah, as leaders of the Lond Bell-that stopped his plan.
