Zechs Merquise
From The Codex
(Redirected from Milliardo Peacecraft)
Background
Milliardo Peacecraft, often called Zechs Merquise, is a main antagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, and is a supporting character in its two sequel stories, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz and New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop. Although a primary antagonist, Zechs is noteworthy in the way that his mindset often aligns with the heroes.
Born Milliardo, Prince of the Sanc Kingdom, he was raised to be a pacifist to his very core by his father. Along with his younger sister, Relena, Milliardo was on the path for pacifism and world peace. However, the destruction of the Sanc Kingdom shook Milliardo to his core, and set him on a path of vengeance. After this moment, Milliardo became a mobile suit pilot, and took up the identity as the Lightning Baron, Zechs Merquise.
For a long while, Zechs would serve as a commanding officer in the OZ organization, though the desruction of his helmet resulted in the reclaiming of his identity as Milliardo, and he soon left. As the war continued and Milliardo's path towards protecting Relena and maintaining peace grew increasingly difficult, he would soon find himself disillusioned as Zechs Merquise once more; now the Commander in Chief of White Fang, planning on the total annihilation of Earth.
Zechs was eventually defeated and had his plans foiled by Heero Yuy, an opposing Gundam Pilot, and soon disappeared. Although presumed dead, Zechs would return a year later under the new alias, Wind, in which he would fight alongside his former enemies to save the world. Along the many years of war, Milliardo has piloted multiple mobile suits, such as Tallgeese and Tallgeese III.
His most famously piloted suit, however, would be Gundam Epyon. Much like other Gundam suits, this one was highly formidable. It had the ZERO System installed within it, which gave the pilots premonitions of the future and allows for them to be unstoppable on the battlefield. Zechs would pilot this suit, created by his late friend Trieze Khushrenada, until his defeat at the hands of Heero.
With the war finally coming to an end, and both Earth and the Colonies entering a time of peace, the man known as Wind would decide to take on yet another alias, Cyrene Wind. He settled down with a woman named Lucrezia Noin and had two children; Naina Peacecraft and Mille Peacecraft.
General Information
Name: Milliardo Peacecraft, Zechs Merquise, Wind, Cyrene Wind
Origin: Gundam
Sex: Male
Age: 19 years old (Gundam Wing), 20 years old (Endless Waltz), around 30 to 40 years old (Frozen Teardrop)
Classification: The Lightning Baron, OZ Colonel, Romefeller Baron, White Fang Commander, Gundam Pilot
Status: Alive
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Although Zechs seemingly sides with evil, in OZ and the Romefeller Foundation, he is doing this for his own purposes. Not to destroy the Space Colonies, but instead infiltrate the factions that brought ruin to the Sanq Kingdom. He is on a set path for revenge and cares not for the means of which he does this. Once he got what he desired, Zechs almost immediately abandoned his Zechs persona and went back to the Sanq Kingdom, proving that everything he did was for revenge), Chaotic Evil after going mad (After allying himself with White Fang as the pilot of Gundam Epyon, Milliardo had gone mad. With the Sanq Kingdom gone following Relena Peacecraft's surrender, and his legacy in ruin, he found that he had no future left as either Zechs nor Milliardo. The Zero System also continued to twist his brain, which only made his mindset all the more unhinged. Zechs decided once and for all that the Earth was the source of all of his suffering, and sought to destroy it once and for all. He is doing this entirely for self-serving, maniacal reasons, that which could only be had by a man with nothing left to live for) | True Neutral (As the man now known simply as Wind, he appears to be completely ambiguous in terms of morality. He has lost his desire for revenge, lost all that motivated him to perform evil acts, even lost Gundam Epyon, and now seemingly has been reborn as a new person. Wind is truly ambivalent to both good and evil)

He was able to take on four of five of the main Gundam Wing protagonists all at the same time, even being able to counter Quatre Raberba Winner's tactical prowess. He can easily match pilots with several years of experience)

Dober Gun, Shield, Beam Saber
Beam Sword, Epyon Claw, Epyon Shield, Vulcan Gun, Heat Rod, ZERO System
