The character of Char Aznab

He is a realist full of ideals and passion, a character who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. His ability and charm allow him to master the chess pieces needed to move towards his destination (including friendships that can be betrayed at any time). , but the situation often develops in an unfavorable direction due to factors such as emotions. From the conversation with his sister Sera, we know that Char was originally a good brother, but his hatred for the Zabi family, the tragedy of Lara Zin, the Grips conflict and other influences pushed him to embark on a path that later aimed to destroy the earth. Advancing the extremist path of space immigration.

Char is the first "Mask Man" in the Gundam series. During the One Year War, his most distinctive feature was that he always wore a mask, claiming that it was to protect his eyes that were allergic to ultraviolet rays (see his dialogue with Karma Zabi at the swimming pool and being interrogated by Kycilia Zabi ). Char doesn't always wear a mask. Under the alias Covatro Bajina, he only wore sunglasses. In 0093, he disclosed the fact that he was the son of Gene Zim Daken, taking off his mask to show his true colors. Char's true face is a handsome man with blond hair.

The "Mask Man" appeared in many subsequent Gundam works. The origin of the mask comes from the Prince of the Demon Empire in Brave Riding. However, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, who was responsible for Char's character design, also said afterwards that the reason for the initial design of the mask was because he thought that Gundam and "Mazinger Z" and other giant robot animations were works of the same style, so the mask was used as a symbol of the villain's image. If one had known in advance Char's personality and experience in the work, he would never have put a mask on him.
