The leader of the Specials (aka OZ), Treize was born into privilege as a nephew of the Dermail family. He is a charismatic leader with a strong sense of ideals and an understanding of human nature that gives him a devoted following among the men who serve him. He was originally a piloting instructor that was injured in a battle on colony X-18999 and met nurse Leia Barton at her father Dekim's hospital. They formed a bond based on mutual respect which is believed to have produced a daughter (Mariemaia). After General Catalonia's death, Treize was promoted to the leader of the Specials. He was close friends with Zechs Merquise and one of the few people to know Zechs' true identity. Treize's traditional views on combat and honor led to his opposition of the Romefeller Foundation, which was beginning to develop the automated mobile dolls weapons. He opposed this because he was a firm believer in tradition and honor, and felt that mobile dolls would make humans unnecessary in battle and therefore making warfare meaningless. His departure from the Foundation caused a similarly minded part of OZ to split into what was known as the Treize Faction. Though placed under house arrest, Treize was eventually freed by loyalists and took over the leadership of the World Nation. He piloted the OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II during this time. He apparently met his end in battle against Chang Wufei of his own volition. However, it appears that the Tallgeese II had an emergency life support capsule surrounding the cockpit, in which Treize floated and was automatically guided to a nearby space station. While he remained in the shadows, he became dissatisfied with the route mankind was taking, believing that humanity would fall into corruption, political control and wastefulness rather than see the need for a disciplined soldier's life. To that end, he has sensed the constant political tension and chose to manufactor new, advanced mobile suits (including Gundams) to various places strategically to ensure battle between factions of different beliefs. This should not come as a surprise as Treize was also an accomplished mobile suit designer as he created both the OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon and the OZ-00MS2B Tallgeese III. He was also the designer of the Gundam Hydra and Aquarius.
