List of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray Characters - Serpent Tail

Serpent Tail

• Kazahana Aja – Voiced by: Yu Kobayashi(Japanese)

Coordinator; 6 years old, highly intelligent daughter of Loretta; because of her background she has adult-like judgement and mental toughness, and she serves as liaison to Serpent Tail's clients.

• Loretta Aja – Voiced by: Kumiko Nishihara(Japanese)

Natural; the only woman among members of Serpent Tail; explosives expert and tactician; mother to Kazahana Aja; very popular among the mercenaries. Former member of the Earth Alliance, left to have a Coordinator child (Kazahana).

• Elijah Kiel – Voiced by: Toriumi Katsumi(Japanese)

Coordinator/Natural; Gai's wingman, only member to wear a ZAFT uniform pilots a custom ZGMF-1017 GINN, a ZGMF-1001 ZAKU, each with a blade-like head crest, and later the LV-ZGMF-X23S Vent Savior; before joining Gai he was with ZAFT alongside his best friend Goud Vair (whom he killed as Goud begged him as a friend to end his suffering due to the split personality); he has a very handsome look; although he is a Coordinator he does not possess the superior physiology of Coordinator, so his mobile suit maneuvering skills are poor; through the experiences he gained on the battlefield as a mercenary, however, he polished his maneuvering skills, and has improved substantially. On his mobile suit "2" is incorporated on its Serpent Tail emblem. Elijah's GINN has great sentimental value, since he used parts from Vair's GINN to repair it; this is why he continued to pilot the GINN even as it became greatly outdated, switching to his new ZAKU only because his GINN was badly damaged. In Gundam SEED VS Astray, he now pilots the Vent Savior after his last battle with Vair, who somehow is a part of the group called the "Librarian".

• Gai Murakumo – Voiced by: Inoue Kazuhiko(Japanese)

Coordinator; a shrewd mercenary with excellent battle sense and the leader of the Serpent Tail mercenary company, and pilot of the MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame; first meets Lowe Guele at the remains of Heliopolis; he goes where the money takes him, and is friends with fellow pilot Elijah Kiel; nobody knows his past, when he was actually a Combat Coordinator developed by the group "Socius" of the Earth Alliance for combat use. His combat ability was completed at a high level, but his mental control was incomplete when he escaped the research facility. On his mobile suit "1" is incorporated on its Serpent Tail emblem.

• His surname is derived from "Ama-no-Murakumo", the name of the legendary Japanese sword which Susanowo pulled from the tail of the slain Yamato no Orochi and presented to his sister, the Sun goddess Amaterasu, as a reconciliation gift. Also called Kusanagi, it is the sword of the Japanese Imperial regalia.

• Reed Wheeler – Voiced by: Hidenari Ugaki(Japanese)

Natural; captain of Serpent Tail's Laurasia -class frigate; former Earth Alliance intelligence operative and still has contacts with the Earth Alliance; known alcoholic.
