Name: Milliardo Peacecraft
Alias: Zechs Merquis
Mobile Suit: Tallgeese Heaven
Alliance: The Sanq Kingdom
OZ's ace mobile suit pilot, he is also known as the "Lightning Count" or "Lightning Baron" (due to the fact that he "fights like lightning" to strike his enemies fast and without warning). While he wears a mask supposedly to hide a facial deformity, the truth is he uses it to hide his true identity Milliardo Peacecraft, the lost son of the pacifist Peacecraft family. After the United Earth Sphere Alliance destroyed the Peacecrafts as King Peacecraft was considered a threat to their totalitary rule of Earth and the colonies, Zechs became an OZ soldier to seek revenge on the Alliance for the murder of his family by working his way through the inside. After acquiring the Tallgeese prototype mobile suit, Zechs succeeded in freeing the Sanc Kingdom (his homeland) from the Alliance's control. Considering himself too tainted to revive the Kingdom, Zechs instead pushed his younger sister Relena Peacecraft to take up their parents' legacy. After witnessing the Sanc Kingdom fall a second time and becoming disillusioned, Zechs accepts the rebel organization White Fang's offer to become its leader. During this time, he pilots OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon. Disgusted by the state of human affairs, he sought to destroy the planet and leave civilization to the "innocent" colonies (though this attitude is simply a ruse to help end the war). He vanished in a final duel with Heero Yuy, apparently sacrificing himself to destroy Libra's main reactor. But he reappeared one year later, piloting the OZ-00MS2B Tallgeese III. Joining the Preventer organization under the codename "Wind", he allied himself with the Gundam pilots to stop Dekim Barton's plan to carry out the original Operation Meteor. Although he has retaken the role as the Heir to the Sanq Kingdom throne, having had it rebuilt and worked fine as an ambassador of peace, he chose recently to make it a safe haven and sanctuary for those that do not wish to be involved in war. Recognizing the need for defensive measures, lest the Sanq Kingdom once again fall, he chose to keep the Tallgeese Heaven and once again don the mask of Zechs Merquis to preserve the dignity of his family name and to defend his country.
