エラン・ケレス

説明

A pilot fielded by Peil Technologies—one of the "Big Three" corporations within the Benerit Group. A third-year student in the Piloting Department at the Asticassia School of Technology (Student ID: KP002), he is also a member of the Duel Committee. He pilots the Zowort and the Gundam Pharact. Although he is the top-ranked student in the Peil dormitory, he remains a solitary figure who does not open up to anyone at the academy. Perhaps due to this, his only real point of contact was Shaddiq Zenelli—a fellow member of the Duel Committee with strong communication skills. Later, however, he developed an interest in Suletta Mercury, and upon seeing the mobile suit Suletta pilots—the Aerial—he correctly identified it as a GUND-ARM. As noted above, he embodies a sense of "solitary detachment," keeping his interactions with others to the absolute minimum. Perhaps as a result, he—much like Suletta, though in a different way—struggles with social interaction and lacks an intuitive grasp of social cues; his speech and behavior are often blunt and direct, showing little regard for the feelings of others. His piloting skills are exceptional, placing him at the top of the odds-based rankings for individual "duels." He demonstrates a high level of both reaction speed and cognitive ability—for instance, by maneuvering through a barrage of gunfire to take down two mobile suits in succession, or by utilizing auxiliary weaponry to neutralize an opponent's mobility, ensuring that someone like Guel cannot even get close enough to challenge him. As he began to interact with Suletta, a glimpse into his inner thoughts was revealed: he is acutely aware of his own "unfortunate circumstances" and harbors a desire to share that reality with someone who understands his plight. Belmeria Winston, sensing the loneliness he carries deep down, asked him, "Could it be... that you're actually happy?"
