Athrun Zala

A coordinator from PLANTS and son of Chairman Patrick Zala, Athrun Zala first made his appearance in the very first episode of Gundam SEED. He was a mission to capture five elite GUNDAMS that were held in Heliopolis of the neutral nation of Orb. During the mission, he did not expect to come across an old dear friend named, Kira Yamato. This lead them both to a state of confusion, since their reunion was in an unfortunate place.

Statistics

Age: 16 (18 in GSD)
Birthday: October 29, CE 55
Blood type: O
Genetic type: Coordinator
Height: 170 cm (5'7")

Athrun decided to be a part of the military when he discovered that his mother, Lenore Zala, was killed in a Bloody Valentine incident. Since then he only fights for justice and the peace of all human kind. Being a soldier of ZAFT, Athrun has many skillful abilities, such as eye-to-eye coordination (he's excellent with pistols) and good with physical combat. He's also very talented with mechanics and builds a robotic-pet-bird for Kira when they were younger and has created numerous abouts of haros (a robotic-ball-shaped pet) for his ex-fiance, Lacus Clyne.

Throughout the series he encounters Kira and attemptes to persuade him to join his side and fight against the Naturals. Kira refuses his offer since he has friends that he wants to protect aboard the Archangel, which is an Earth Alliance ship.

Athrun continues on in battle and lives on to what he believes is right. As a soldier of only sixteen, he can be unsure of himself sometimes, but eventually with the help of his friends and assuring words from Kira, Cagalli and Lacus, he gets back on his own two feet, no problem -- most of the time.
