Gundam has since had tons of absolutely baffling names for characters in its otherwise serious shows, including Allelujah Haptism, Treize Kushrenada, Quatre Raberba Winner and even Full Frontal! Mystery and taking up various personas has also been a common theme throughout the series, but it all started with Char. He later took the moniker Édouard Mass before settling on Char, also gaining the nickname "Red Comet." During the series' sequel, he's believed dead and takes on the name of Quattro Bajeena, another odd name. This name has no real basis in any language or real-world nationality, though Char's blond hair would suggest European origins.

It's eventually revealed that Char's birth name is Casval Dem Reikun, the son of Zeon Dem Reikum. The title is based on real-world Armenian-French crooner Charles Aznavour, and Char's names would only get weirder from there. RELATED: Gundam: The Most Expensive & Elaborate Model Kits Char's Many Names Are As Complicated As He IsĬhar, much more than the typical Japanese-sounding Amuro Ray, exemplifies the Gundam franchise's penchant for extremely weird names for its casts. He also questions Amuro's assumptions that wisdom will somehow cure mankind's ills after all that they had done, saying "Then, grant all those ignorant people your so-called 'wisdom,' at this very moment!" This theatrical depth also leads to some great lines, including, "blame this on the misfortune of your birth." Another iconic line, "The people left on Earth do nothing but pollute it because their souls are weighed down by gravity," portends Char's eventual return to villainy and disdain for most of humanity.

This tendency to change from series to series makes Char easily the most complicated character of the original bunch. This lead to Char losing faith in himself, willingly serving under former rivals in order to become what he was again. This sees him temporarily turning hero in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam to fight the Titans organization. Despite his quest to regain his birthright, Char truly cared for Earth, and at times, those living there.
