The "lead" character known as Heero was originally our favorite of the Gundam pilots, which later became the lovable warrior Duo.  His true name is unknown, which is the same with all of the Gundam pilots except Wufei and Quatre.  But for his missions of revenge and destruction, he has been named after the martyred leader of the colonies. Raised by the scientist Doctor J to become a professional assassin, Heero was trained to be a ruthless killing machine, equally proficient in mobile suit piloting, personal combat, demolitions, and computer hacking.  Though Heero's upbringing didn't quite manage to squeeze all the compassion out of his personality,  he is still cold and manipulative towards his allies, and ruthless towards his enemies.  And almost insanely careless of his own life.  His strange reluctance to kill Relena throughout the series is the first step in Heero's gradual reclaiming of what little humanity a Gundam pilot can have.

Now the only really big problem with Heero is that he is rather, well, he's kind of a klutz.  Sure he is the "professional assassin" of the group, but Duo, Trowa, even Wufei generally end up completing their missions with more efficiency.  To be honest, his initial meeting with Zechs Merquise is what threw his timing off.  After that, he became a little trigger happy, and just about anything that could happen to him did.  Getting shot, breaking and resetting his leg, being blown up (several times), fighting while blatantly injured, having his mind tooled with by Wing Zero and Epyon, and a whole lot more.

Heero regains his rhythm towards the end of the series, right after piloting the Epyon actually, and directs each of the other pilots down the same path.  The road to the destruction of both the White Tiger and Oz organizations, and the protection of the Earth.  His crowing moments would be his mastering of the Zero system in Wing Zero, and (in our opinion) his forcing Quarte to pilot the Zero system in his Sandrock mobile suit.  Both were directly involved in the victory against both Oz and White Tiger.

And to top it all off, Heero has the best fashion sense in the entire Gundam series.
