Gundam Meisters The series focuses on the four
mobile suit pilots of the paramilitary organization Celestial Being. The pilots, referred to as , pursue the complete eradication of armed conflict mainly through the deployment of the revolutionary Gundam units in aggressive armed interventions. ; : Setsuna F. Seiei is the primary protagonist of the series and was discovered by Celestial Being at the age of 16 for having special potential as a pilot. He is currently a Gundam Meister and pilots Gundam Exia, specialized in melee combat. Setsuna's real name is (
Suran Ibrahim); with Setsuna F. Seiei being his codename. He was once a child soldier of
Kurdish descent in the war-torn Krugis Republic. Contrary of the other Meisters who were either K.I.A. or M.I.A. in the end of the first season, Tieria continued to work for Celestial Being during the four-year time-skip. At the end of the second season, Tieria is killed by Ribbons Almark while trying to stop him from taking control of Veda. Tieria, however, manages to upload his consciousness into Veda itself, subsequently ending the battle by remote-controlling Seraphim from Veda's core and activating its Trial System to shut down all enemy mobile suits. He briefly returns in the movie in a new body and pilots Gundam Raphael briefly before sacrificing himself to save Setsuna; he eventually ends up uploaded into Setsuna's 00 Qan[T] and is last seen when the Gundam departs to the ELS homeworld. His fate is unknown, although the 00 Qan[T] returns to Earth in the epilogue and a Tieria-type Innovade briefly appears aboard the
Sumeragi. While Tieria never showed romantic feelings for anyone, as he was completely focused on his mission He shows little care for others until after Neil sacrifices his eye to shield him. Tieria develops a close bond to Neil, even in the second season after Neil's death, when he doubts if he should tell his crewmates who are behind the A-Laws’ schemes (as he is an Innovade too), the "ghost" of Neil comes to comfort him, stating that Aeolia gave the Gundams to them, the Gundam Meisters. While he never truly reciprocates her feelings, Mileina Vashti stated that no matter which form he takes she loves him (A Wakening of Trailblazer).
Crew of the Ptolemaios Supporting the Gundam Meisters is the crew of the led by Sumeragi Lee Noriega. At the end of the first season, the
Ptolemaios was severely damaged and many of its crew were killed. During the second season, the new
Ptolemaios II enters service crewed by the surviving members of the original
Ptolemaios. They are later joined by
Saji Crossroad and
Soma Peries, the latter after recovering her memory as Marie Parfacy. ; : Sumeragi is the tactical forecaster of the Celestial Being mothership Ptolemaios. As the most senior ranking officer on the ship, she is the de facto captain of the ship. She plans all the strategies the Gundam Meisters take part in and her strategic predictions are almost always accurate. Her real name is . In the beginning of the second season, Sumeragi is reluctant to rejoin the others until the encouragement from her companions helps her find the resolve to help them. At the end of the series, she remains with Celestial Being. ; : Originally a civilian and a senior high school student studying aerospace engineering, Saji is also Setsuna F Seiei's neighbour at Setsuna's residence in Japan. Orphaned prior to the start of the series, Saji was cared for by his sister Kinue. A gentle person with a submissive personality, he is often pushed around by his overbearing girlfriend Louise Halevy and continued to make ends meet with a delivery job at a pizza parlor. Despite his unaggressive nature, Saji has been caught up in the wake of the Gundams' actions, with Louise suffering and Kinue dead. As a result, Saji has developed a deep hatred for the Gundams, blaming them for the loss of his loved ones as he leaves for space to live his dream as an engineer. : In the second season, after being arrested under false charges of Katharon involvement, Saji is saved by Setsuna and learns his identity as a Gundam Meister. After Celestial Being arrives at Katharon's secret base with the intention of leaving civilians Saji and Marina in their care, Saji secretly attempts to escape the base. He is almost immediately captured by the ESF army under Sergei Smirnov's charge; he unwittingly leaks the whereabouts of Katharon base and one of Sergei's men leaks it to the A-Laws. Sergei releases Saji so he doesn't fall into A-Laws hands; however, the A-Laws attack the Katharon base, which ends in the deaths of many Katharon's members despite Celestial Being's intervention to stop the attack. The slaughter deeply upsets Saji until Tieria forces Saji to realize that turning his back to ignore problems is its own kind of malice. Because Saji's actions led to the destruction of the Katharon base, Tieria forces Saji to remain with the Ptolemaios crew and no longer trusts Saji's judgment. : While on the Ptolemaios II, he reluctantly becomes a part of the crew and learns the truth behind the events years ago and the motivations of the Gundam Meisters, allowing him to abandon his grudge and eventually understanding Celestial Being. When Ian is critically injured during a battle, he directs Saji to deliver the GNR-010 0 Raiser to Setsuna, so the meister can unlock 00 Gundam's true power to save the lives of the Ptolemaios crew. As the 0 Raiser's pilot, Saji must continue going into battle alongside Setsuna, during which he learns of Louise being in the A-Laws and chooses to fight to save her. By the end of the series, Saji leaves Celestial Being and watches over Louise while she is recovering at a hospital, where they talk about humanity's future. : Two years later, Saji continues to care and attend to a PTSD-plagued Louise. When the Earth Sphere Government ask for engineers to help in the Orbital Ring maintenance, he volunteers with Louise's encouragement. His last appearance in the movie is while Setsuna's consciousness is drifting and he watches every person he holds dear before awakening in his coma; Saji is working as an engineer while ELS drones are shown in the background. ; : Feldt is the daughter of Ruido Resonance and Marlene Vlady, who initially worked under Celestial Being as Meisters for the 2nd-generation GNY-series Gundam prototypes and later got married. In the beginning of the series, Feldt works as the tactical operator of Ptolemaios and later the Ptolemaios 2. In addition to her programming skills, Feldt is also a capable mechanic. Though she tends to be reserved, she feels strongly towards all the members of Celestial Being as her family. She is strongly implied to have had a crush on Neil Dylandy until the latter's death but between the end of the second season and the movie, she openly develops romantic feelings for Setsuna. ; : Christina Sierra is the
Ptolemaios tactical operator. Christina ran away from her adopted mother before being discovered by Celestial Being. She becomes good friends with crewmate Feldt. During the battle at
Lagrange point 1, the bridge of
Ptolemaios is attacked by a GN-X. Although Lichtendahl Tsery shielded her from the attack, she is fatally wounded by a shred of metal from the shattered bridge. Before Lichty dies in her arms, she realizes her own feelings for him. She contacts the surviving crewmembers and tells Feldt to live on for Lockon's memory, before dying in the subsequent explosion. He is killed when the Alvatore fires upon the
Ptolemaios and destroys the medical bay. ; : Ian Vashti is the head of Celestial Being's mobile suit development along with his wife and daughter. On the Ptolemaios, Ian works as the ship's main engineer. He is a kind hearted man but gets angry when his machines are damaged. Later on the series he also becomes one of the main Gunners of the Ptolemaios II. ; : Mileina Vashti is Ian's and Linda's daughter who joins the crew of the
Ptolemaios II before the beginning of the second season. Despite her young age, she is a gifted technician, learning much about engineering, GN Technology, and programming from both her parents. Mileina normally staffs the tactical operations station, but she also helps her father as a mechanic, and even temporarily takes over his role when he heads to Celestial Being's
L3 base ahead of the
Ptolemaios II. In the movie, she openly declares love to Tieria just prior to the latter leaving for the final battle and subsequently the ELS homeworld; it's unknown if they develop a relationship or not. ; : Linda Vashti is Ian's wife, and mother to Mileina. She appears in the background of episode 2 in the second season, but does not make a proper appearance until Ian later travels to space in episode 9 to retrieve the 0 Raiser. Linda later delivers supplies, new equipment for the Gundams and the 0 Gundam to Ptolemaios II and joins Ian in the weapons control room. Linda is noticeably younger than her husband.
Other members of Celestial Being ; : Living over 200 years before the beginning of the series, Aeolia Schenberg establishes the theoretical basis of the combined
orbital elevator and
photovoltaic energy system, the construction and defense of which he foresaw to employ humanoid machines not unlike
mobile suits. In a long-term plan to rid the world of armed conflict and ready humanity for the next phase of its evolution, Aeolia founds the private paramilitary organization Celestial Being and develops the technology behind the GN Drives. It is this plan that becomes the driving force for both the first and second series. Schenberg's body is held in cryogenic stasis within Veda, intending to awaken when the world is rid of conflict. However, soon after this discovery near the end of the first series,
Alejandro Corner kills Schenberg in order to take over the plan, however Schenberg's death triggers a system trap that activates the Trans-Am System in the four Gundams Original Solar Furnaces' Black Boxes, completely purges the personal data of the four Gundam Meisters and unlocks the secrets behind the Twin Drive System.
Wang Liu Mei (;
Wan Ryūmin) : A celebrity of Chinese descent, whose name is well known in the high society of the world, and is one of the secret agents of Celestial Being. She uses her wide social connections to conduct espionage activities and fundraising, passing mission details to the Gundam Meisters supporting Ptolemaios from the shadows. She wishes for the world to change so she can reinvent herself, begrudging her role as her family's head, a position she inherited when she was fifteen. Willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve that goal, she would rather the world be destroyed if it cannot change. In the second season, Liu Mei is shown to be supporting both Celestial Being and the Innovators, effectively playing both sides until Ribbons has no more need of her. Forming an alliance with Regene, Liu Mei hands Setsuna the coordinates that reveal Veda's location, only to be later killed by Nena Trinity as she attempts to leave the battlefield.
Hong Long (;
Hon Ron) : Wang Liu Mei's steward and bodyguard, also of Chinese descent, who accompanies her faithfully. A highly skilled martial artist, he is also Liu Mei's older half-brother. Because he was incapable of leading their family, Liu Mei was forced to become the head of their family; as a result, she resents her brother for his behavior. As one of Celestial Being's agents, Long assisted Setsuna and Lockon during their mission in Azadistan. In the second season, Long questions Liu Mei about "playing both sides", since it could result in the destruction of the Gundams. He and Liu Mei manage to survive after
Nena Trinity's attacks on their ship in the Throne Drei. However, as they make their way into a satellite, Nena ambushes them; Hong Long pushes his sister into a seal-docking port as he sacrifices himself to save her, killed with a shot to the head. == Union ==
