Char Aznable, born Casval Rem Deikun, is a prominent figure in the Gundam franchise, particularly in the Universal Century timeline. Initially introduced in the 1979 series Mobile Suit Gundam as a skilled pilot and commander for the Principality of Zeon, Char’s character has evolved over the years.
Born on September 6, 0068 UC, in the space colony of Side 3, Char is the son of Zeon Zum Deikun, the founder of the Zeon independence movement. His elite education at the Zeon Military Academy honed his piloting skills and strategic thinking, while his studies in history, philosophy, and political science deepened his understanding of the complex dynamics of the Universal Century.
Char’s military career during the One Year War saw him rise through the ranks as one of Zeon’s most respected pilots. His destruction of the Earth Federation’s flagship, the White Base, in the Battle of Loum remains one of his notable achievements. Post-war, Char became a prominent figure in the Neo Zeon movement, leading campaigns for Zeon’s independence and his father’s ideals.
Char Aznable is renowned as one of the most skilled mobile suit pilots in the Universal Century, known for his exceptional combat abilities, strategic prowess, and unwavering dedication. His iconic red Zaku II mobile suit has become synonymous with his character, though he has also piloted other powerful mobile suits throughout the series.

Despite his accolades, Char remains a complex and enigmatic figure, known for his stoic demeanor and unwavering loyalty to his beliefs. His personal life remains shrouded in mystery, adding to his intrigue.
