Originally born Milliardo Peacecraft, Zechs Merquise was the son and considered to be heir to the Peacecraft legacy. His only surviving family, Relena Dorlan/Peacecraft, eventually took control over the Peacecraft's monarchy of the Sanq Kingdom. Given her more adamant beliefs in pacifism and his own glorified participation in war, Zechs felt this would be the choice more appreciated by the Peacecraft ancestry. As Zechs he wears a mask to conceal his identity and shame for his military prowess and inability to save his family's country. WIthin Oz he is referred to as the "Lightning Baron" for his military prowess. He regards Heero and the other pilots as a worthy adversaries, but feels a very close, battle founded bond with Heero. Heero appears to feel the same towards Zechs, and they attempt to fight to the death at every introduction.At great deal has been said about Mili, and most of it is true. We are quite fond of the statement, "How could you be intimidated by a guy with long platinum, blond hair, wearing an aluminum helmet that looks like a birds beak, and white stretch pants that look like he should break into a rendition of Swan Lake." With that said, Zechs is quite possibly the greatest military mind within Oz or any of the other military organizations involved. Taking second only to Treize and the preceding Lt. Lucrecia Noin, the latter having a great fondness for Zechs in many ways for this reason alone. He is a bold risk taker, as proven by taking the helm of the first Tallgeese. The prototype to the 5 Gundams, this mobile suit is almost more dangerous to the pilot then to it's opponents. After the Tallgeese had been rebuilt, it killed one test pilot, and nearly
killed another and Zechs himself.Given his military prowess, Treize designed and built the latest Gundam, the Epyon. A fierce Gundam with no projectile weaponry, it was built mainly for fencing. The Epyon has an attached and updated beam sword, an energy whip, designed aerodynamically for speed, and can be converted into a mobile jet like Wing and WIng Zero. Treize also equipped the Epyon with the Zero system, which he tested first on Heero Yuy in a slightly psychotic, Tales from the Crypt fashion. Given the different features within the Epyon, Heero reaction was not very positive, making him very content to return to Wing Zero. Once Zechs received his gift, the future the Zero system showed him turned him against the Earth, and his better judgment. This path led him to once again fight Heero to what seemed to be his death. Pardon the pun, but somehow, with someone as talented as Zechs, we have a feeling his demise will be short lived.
