Mafty
In General
In General
"The current Earth Federation government has left us with no choice but to attack them to make them recognize their wrongdoings."
A militant terrorist group opposed to the increasingly corrupt activities of the Earth Federation. By U.C. 0105 Hathaway Noa had become their leader, using their name as a pseudonym for his public broadcasts.
- As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Their name is a mixture of various languages that roughly translates to "Righteous King of Prophets". Gigi lampshades this by pointing out how hamfisted it is.
- Cyber Cyclops: The Messer, Mafty’s mass-production mobile suit, developed from the same line as Neo Zeon's Geara Doga and Sazabi. Notably, it’s one of the few protagonist faction grunts in any Universal Century anime to utilize a monoeye, and part of the Zaku family no less.
- True Companions: They have a strong bond as evidenced by Hathaway going the extra mile to rescue Gawman after he had been captured by Lane.
- Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: The general public overwhelmingly supports them, despite the brutality and extremism of their actions.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: They're an Eco-Terrorist organization assassinating government officials. However, they're doing so to stop these same officials from making exceptions for rich and well-connected individuals to live on a rapidly dying Earth, sending critics and those who illegally remain on Earth without their approval into slave labor in mining colonies, and other corruption.
- Villain Protagonist: Played with. They're an eco-terrorist organization against the Earth Federation, but it's made clear throughout the story that they are directly targeting the corruption and cruelty of the elites, rather than trying to cause mayhem for the hell of it.
Hathaway Noa / Mafty Navue Erin
Hathaway Noa / Mafty Navue Erin
"The poison corroding the system must be purified!"
Voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese, video games -2020), Kensho Ono (Japanese, anime), Caleb Yen (English), Miguel Angel Ruiz (Latin American Spanish)
"I know this way of doing things is... So tell me. Tell me how to destroy the depths of these systems. We can't all live on Earth together. Something has to be done, or everyone who died during Char's Rebellion will never be able to rest in peace... As long as there are exceptions to the rules, people will try to cheat."
The protagonist of Hathaway's Flash and the leader of Mafty - using the group's name as a pseudonym to hide his identity. Traumatized by the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, and disgusted by the Earth Federation's callousness in the aftermath and 12 years since, his political beliefs have taken a 180 degree turn, with him fully rejecting the views of his father Bright Noa and embracing many of the ideals of Char Aznable instead. This eventually led to him being recruited by Mafty and in time rising to becoming the organization's leader.He pilots the Xi Gundam, the final mobile suit created under Project Zeta.
- Ambiguous Situation: Hathaway outright denies the classification of a Newtype, pointing out it's just another made up grouping of disparate people, and making it unclear what exactly the extent of his Psychic Powers are, if he even has any. Downplayed in the first movie, where Hathaway experiences what are pretty clearly Newtype flashes with Gigi and later the ghost of Amuro, just with very different sound effects and visuals compared to those in previous Gundam works.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: A weird example but Hathaway is depicted as a brunette (like his mother Mirai) in the original story, as opposed to his raven black hair in Char's Counterattack. It also to carries over into multiple other works that feature Hathaway's Flash despite the discrepancy.
- Anti-Hero: Despite being an Eco-Terrorist, he generally has good intentions, wanting to force the Earth Federation into having an actual fair, just process for moving most of humanity to space colonies to allow the Earth to heal, instead of rounding up political dissidents and the poor and shipping them off to slave labor in space, while the rich and well-connected are free to flaunt the law. He also tries to avoid unnecessary death, only targeting important Federation sites.
- Byronic Hero: A dark and brooding terrorist haunted by his past actions who also seeks to save the planet from environmental collapse, and protect the poor and weak from the corrupt government that oppresses them.
- Eco-Terrorist: He publicly threatens that he and his organization will continue killing Federation politicians and officials until the Federation ceases making exceptions for the rich and powerful to immigrate to Earth, ignoring the Federation's own laws banning anyone else from living on Earth, lest it suffer environmental collapse after it has been heavily damaged from decades of war.
- Evil Makeover: While the "evil" part is debatable, his darker ambitions are accompanied by switching from his white spacesuit from Char's Counterattack to an all black one.
- Foil: To both Amuro and Char, to the point the trailers even call him the inheritor of Amuro and Char's ideals. Like Amuro, he pilots a Gundam and believes in standing up for the less fortunate. But like Char, he also leads an anti-Federation terrorist organization, and has adopted Char's belief that humanity must leave Earth for the planet to survive, something the rich and powerful in the Earth Federation have been refusing to do.
- Hidden Badass: The Action Prologue of Hathaway's Flash sets up Hathaway to be a mild-mannered passenger of Haunzen Flight 356, but it's soon revealed that he has combat abilities far beyond what his appearance and status implies; easily taking down most of the fake Mafty forces with nothing more than a handgun and hand-to-hand combat. He's managed to keep it hidden mostly due to Living a Double Life below.
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Constantly haunted by the memory of accidentally killing Quess.
- Like Father, Unlike Son: He commits violent acts against the government that his father Bright serves. He has also fully adopted the ideology of Char Aznable, one of his father's greatest enemies.
- Living a Double Life: The public knows him as a hero of the Axis Shock event who took down the Alpha Azieru (not to mention the son of the "Eternal Captain" Bright Noa) and now works as a botanical researcher. But secretly he's the leader of the terrorist group "Mafty".
- Mid-Career Upgrade: In his entire career as a pilot, he first piloted a Med and a Jegan in Char's Counterattack, and in Hathaway's Flash, a Messer Commander Type was assigned to him before obtaining the Super Prototype Xi Gundam.
- Older Than They Look: He should be about 25 years old by Hathaway's Flash, but he could still pass for a boy in his teens.
- Psychic Powers: He's a highly skilled pilot with excellent control of his Funnel Missiles mentally controlled weaponry, suggesting the extra-sensory spatial awareness of a Newtype... though Hathaway himself denies being a Newtype.
- Real Men Wear Pink: Before obtaining the Xi Gundam, he used a Messer Commander Type with a custom rose and purple paintjob, rather than the standard red color scheme of the other Messers.
- Sympathy for the Devil: He studies Char Aznable's life and starts to sympathize with him to such a degree that he begins to carry out Char's philosophy of preserving the Earth by any means necessary.
- Took a Level in Badass: That little kid from Char's Counterattack has become quite the mobile suit pilot. He also gained incredible fighting skills too, as seen when he takes down several armed gunmen by himself on Haunzen Flight 356.
- Villain Protagonist: Played with. As Char's successor leading a terrorist organization against the Earth Federation, he's in the role traditionally reserved for the antagonists in a Gundam story. However, in Hathaway's Flash, the Earth Federation's corruption and cruelty has once again reached the level of the Titans. Hathaway similarly is specifically targeting the rich and powerful behind this corruption, rather than carrying out attacks on even innocent citizens being abused and oppressed.

A veteran pilot with a large scar on the left side of his face who now works with Mafty. His mobile suit call sign is "Messer 02".
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a rather large scar over his left eye, but as one of the Anti-Hero protagonists, it doesn't actually detract much from his looks.
- Human Shield: Kenneth orders Lane to use him as one in the climax of the first movie. As Lane's prisoner, he acts as a deterrent as he would die if the Penelope is destroyed. While he does try to give advice to Lane in the battle to avoid dying, when Hathaway is able to contact him Gawman immediately tells him to destroy the Penelope even if it would mean his death. Lane eventually ejects him and allows Hathaway to pick him up, negating his purpose as a shield.
- Lightning Bruiser: Gawman gets a fight scene around the halfway point to show off Mafty's grunt mobile suit, the Messer. It's shown to be quite agile in spite of its size with the numerous rockets across its body allowing it better mobility than the Federation's Gustav Karls. Its armor is also quite durable as it takes several of the Federation suits to finally wear him down.
- Sarcastic Confession: Outright tells Kenneth that Hathaway is the one playing the role of Mafty Navue Erin after Kenneth lets it slip he suspects Hathaway is working for Mafty, because he knows no one will actually believe a young botanical researcher is the most wanted man in the Earth Sphere without any actual proof. Even Kenneth suspects that Hathaway is just a figurehead for the real Mafty Navue Erin.

A Cool Big Sis Mafty member sent to pick up Hathaway from Haunzen flight 356 after the fake Mafty incident. In the past she had wanted to be a professional MS pilot, but couldn't make the cut, eventually leading to Mafty recruiting her instead. After inheriting Hathaway's Messer, her mobile suit call sign becomes "Messer 01".
- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her film version likes to tie up her shirt at her chest, leaving her abdomen completely exposed.
- Race Lift: The film adaptation switches her from a blond-haired Caucasian as she appeared in games that feature the Hathaway's Flash characters to an Aboriginal Australian with red hair and brown skin.

Hathaway's girlfriend at the beginning of the story. She is an illegal immigrant to Earth who joins Mafty alongside Hathaway.
- Adapted Out: She is a fairly minor character who leaves the story early on. As such, video game adaptations of the story tend to omit her entirely.
- But Now I Must Go: Hathaway's devotion to the organization, as well as his growing closeness with Gigi, causes them to drift apart. She eventually requests a transfer to a different branch of Mafty, effectively ending their relationship.
- Living Emotional Crutch: She supports Hathaway through the depression that he suffers from. If not for her status as an illegal immigrant, they would have already been married.

"Mafty, he's a dangerous individual. He's disrupting the order of the Earth Federation government."
Voiced by: Fumihiko Tachiki (Japanese, video games -2020), Akio Ōtsuka (Japanese, Sunrise Eiyuuden only), Jun'ichi Suwabe (Japanese, anime), Aaron Phillips (English), Carlo Vázquez (Latin American Spanish)
An Earth Federation Colonel who organises the "Circe Unit" to apprehend the terrorist group Mafty.
- The Ace: When he is transferred to Davao, his predecessor Kimberley has thus far failed to track down Mafty, and even Mafty members don't take Kimberley seriously. However, the moment Kenneth takes control, he captures Gawman and finds Mafty's secret base, forcing them to abandon it in span of two days.
- Adaptation Expansion: In the anime, he is a veteran of the Second Neo Zeon War who retired from mobile suit piloting to take a command position.
- Ambiguously Brown: Kenneth in the Animated Adaptation movies is depicted with dark skin in contrast with his video game incarnation.
- Ascended Extra: In the anime, he's a former Earth Federation pilot who was in one of the many background Jegan mobile suits seen throughout Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. In this story he serves as one of the three leads.
- Do You Want to Copulate?: Walks up the Hathaway and Gigi, tells them he's named his new command the "Circe Unit", which a sentence or two later turns into him saying Gigi should sleep with him to recreate the myth of Circe (Gigi) taming beasts (Kenneth) to give them her power.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Becomes anguished when he learns that his new friend who more or less saved his life, Hathaway, is the true leader of Mafty.
- Foil: To Hathaway, as the leader of his faction who believes their questionable tactics are a form of necessary evil.
- Heel Realisation: The Federation's decision to publicly execute Hathaway without trial in an act of petty revenge and intimidation disgusts him, as he realizes the lines he crossed to capture Hathaway were not for any type of greater good whatsoever. He promptly resigns, and plans to form a new Mafty with Gigi to carry on Hathaway's fight.
- Hero Antagonist: As with Lane, his goal is to stop a terrorist threatening the Federation, though he is a much nicer person compared to his ace pilot.
- Race Lift: For the anime adaptation, character designer Pablo Uchida was told to make him look less like Char, meaning not white or blond.
- The Strategist: His major role in the Circe Unit. It's thanks to his strategic plans that Lane was able to overcome the superior pilot Hathaway in their final confrontation.
- Take Up My Sword: After Hathaways's execution, Kenneth leaves the Federation and decides to set up a new Mafty organization.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Kenneth holds strong to his belief in justice and will dirty his hands in the pursuit of that goal. When he captures Gawman, he violently beats him while he's chained up and orders Lane to use him as a human shield. In the novel, Gawman realizes that the willingness for the Federation to fight so openly in a civilian area sets Kenneth apart from less decisive Kimberley. At the end of the novel when Kenneth realizes that all of his actions were in service to a corrupt institution he switches sides and follows in Hathaway's footsteps by vowing to start the next Eco-Terrorist successor to Mafty.
- You Don't Look Like You: His anime design is wildly different from his appearance in the G Generation games, where he had fairer skin and slicked-back blonde hair.
Lane Aim
Lane Aim
"It's a Gundam!?"
Voiced by: Koichi Hashimoto (Japanese, G Generation F only), Takahiro Mizushima (Japanese, video games from G Generation Spirits -2020), Soma Saito (Japanese, anime), Kieran Walton (English), Ricardo Bautista (Latin American Spanish)
An Earth Federation soldier holding the rank of First Lieutenant.
He pilots the Penelope, the combination of the Odysseus Gundam equipped with an experimental Minovsky Craft flight unit, which served as the basis for the Xi Gundam's design.
- Ambiguous Situation: It's not made clear whether he is a Newtype or a Cyber-Newtype. In the first novel, Hathaway and Emeralda speculate that he is a Cyber-Newtype, though it is never conclusively determined. For the sake of simplicity, video games often list him as a Newtype, with menu text stating that he can "somehow" utilize the Penelope's funnel missiles.
- Anti-Villain: The main physical threat that Hathaway faces in the story and while his morality might be dodgy it's difficult to call him evil. When ordered to use Gawman as a human shield, he makes it clear to Gawman that he hopes it doesn't come to that and even drops him back to Mafty so they can have a fair fight.Hathaway: Lane Aim. An honorable man.
- Black-and-White Insanity: He strongly believes that the Federation is completely in the right while ignoring their ruthless and scummy methods of dealing with Mafty.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Lane's original uniform design
◊ was more stiff and formal, with long sleeves, no shirt pockets, and the classic Federation high collar. The animated uniform redesign seen here takes its cues from the revamped Federation uniforms seen in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, achieving a more utilitarian look while still preserving the core military aesthetic. Kenneth above gets a similar redesign. - Expy: It's not immediately obvious given they're on different sides of the war, but as an antagonist pilot with Newtype abilities who thinks he's a bigger deal than he really is and isn't above taking hostages, he's basically The Federation's answer to Gyunei Guss.
- Design-wise, he also resembles Kamille Bidan a fair bit, just with red hair. Their personalities are also fairly strong mirrors of each other, as both are pilots with ego issues and Newtype powers. However, Kamille grows as a person, while Lane stubbornly holds onto his perceived righteousness. Kamille is also confirmed as a true Newtype, while Lane is possibly a Cyber-Newtype.
- Hero Antagonist: He may not be the nicest guy, but he's still trying to take out a terrorist threatening the Federation. Mind you, he's not necessarily a "bad" guy, either, just arrogant.
- Honor Before Reason: In the first film, rather than follow Kenneth's orders to keep Gawman as a human shield to put Hathaway at a disadvantage, Lane goes so far as to release Gawman and literally body blocks his subordinates to keep them from firing on Gawman until Hathaway can pick him up, all so he can confront Hathaway in an even fight and prove he's the better pilot.
- Ironic Name: "Lane Aim" evokes the name of either a Cold Sniper or a Tranquil Fury-based fighter. Lane's performance in battle (especially with the hulking Penelope) is neither.
- Lightning Bruiser: The massive Penelope Gundam has four Mega Particle Cannons built into it alongside a beam rifle and dozens of funnel missiles. It's also a lot more agile than its bulky appearance makes it out to be and easily flies through the air in contrast to the slower and clunkier Gustav Karls. Its defense is also nothing to scoff at as it tanks a number of missiles from the Xi and a crash into the ocean with Kenneth expressing surprise that Lane was able to survive all of that.
- Naïve Newcomer: Both in life and combat skills, Lane is quite green.
- He doesn't quite comprehend the level of corruption in the Federation government and just why Mafty would be fighting them. He's also new to combat as before his deployment in the series he was only a test pilot.
- In the novel, his release of his hostage, Gawman, highlights this. While his heart was in the right place, dropping a man from mid-air wasn't exactly the smartest of moves. Though Hathaway respects him for taking the high road he also notes that Lane just threw away one of his biggest advantages in the fight.
- Out of Focus: While he and the Penelope are Mafty's biggest obstacle on the battlefield, his commander Kenneth is much more of a personal adversary to Hathaway.
- Rank Up: After the Mafty incident is resolved he is promoted to the rank of Captain.
- The Rival: He serves as this towards Hathaway.
- Shadow Archetype: Serves this to his own commander Kenneth. Both oppose Mafty but Lane is dogmatically loyal to the Federation and is completely blind to the hypocrisy in using immoral tactics to fight terrorists whereas Kenneth slowly questions whether or not they are in the right. This comes to a head by the end where Lane doesn't even question the horrifying tactics he'd had to employ over the story to capture Hathaway, and continues climbing the ranks of the corrupt Federation. This is a far cry from Kenneth, who comes completely around to Hathaway's line of thinking, not only quitting the Federation but swearing to create the next Mafty and stand up to the Earth Federation's corruption himself.
- Small Name, Big Ego: While Lane is a very capable pilot, he thinks he's much more skilled then he actually is. Case in point, during his first duel with Hathaway, he has Gawman as a hostage and boasts that he could beat Hathaway without him. Not only does he still lose, Hathaway manages to give him near-fatal injuries while rescuing Gawman, who is completely unharmed.Lane: Impossible!
- Sore Loser: When he gets shot down in his first duel against Hathaway, Lane is in so much denial that he convinces himself that he must have also shot down Hathaway in a Mutual Kill when it's clear that Hathaway outmaneuvered and got the drop on him.
- Spell My Name With An S: His name was alternatively romanized as Rein in games for a time. His surname has been spelled as either "Aim" or "Aime".
Bright Noa
Bright Noa
The commander of the Federation Forces' 13th Autonomous Fleet (formerly known as Londo Bell). He has a strained relationship with his son, Hathaway.
- Despair Event Horizon: The Earth Federation government has him unknowingly serve as the ostensible officer in charge of his own son's unlawful execution, and then leaks the story to the news shortly after to make it seem like he, not they, were responsible for it.
- Downer Ending: Bright Noa, hero of five conflicts spanning 26 years and the closest thing to a Big Good that there is in the Universal Century setting, ends his legendary military career on a horrific note: stabbed in the back by his superiors (again) and falsely made out to the public to be responsible for executing his own son.
- Four-Star Badass: One of the most effective battleship captains in the entire EFF and a veteran of multiple massive wars, who is promoted to Rear Admiral at the end of the first volume.
- Lying to Protect Your Feelings: Kenneth hides from Bright that Bright's own son Hathaway is Mafty Navue Erin. It backfires spectacularly when the Earth Federation higher-ups leak the truth to the press after they have Hathaway executed without trial.
- The Mentor: Serves as a teacher and role model to younger federation officer Kenneth.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: One of the few remaining well meaning higher-ups in the Federation, becoming the person Kenneth goes to for guidance in the story and the only one he has any positive feelings for by the end of it.
- Retired Badass: Is planning to soon resign, to go and open a restaurant with his wife on Side 1.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We never find out what happened to him at the end of the novel after the Earth Federation higher-ups leaked to the news that his son was Mafty Navue Erin and falsely attributed the order to have Hathaway executed without trial to Bright. Kenneth is suitably horrified however, and wonders if he did the right thing by trying to keep the truth from Bright, as he doubts the Earth Federation itself will ever give Bright a straight answer.

- Betty and Veronica: She's the Archie to Kenneth's Betty and Hathaway's Veronica.
- Likes Older Men: She's had a sexual relationship with an 80+ year old aristocrat, and her primary love interests (Kenneth and Hathaway) are both somewhat older than she is.
- Love Triangle: She has this dynamic with Hathaway and Kenneth. She herself pursues Hathaway, while being the object of Kenneth’s affection. Hathaway for his part seems wary of her, as he’s still hung up with his part in the events of Char’s Counterattack.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: She has a strange, almost prophetic intuition. But whether this is some form of psychic ability or just her cold reading people or something else comparatively mundane is left ambiguous.
- The Mistress: The "mystery" of why she was on the Haunzen, a high-class shuttle meant only for the rich and elites, despite her seemingly young age and no-nonsense attitude, is that she's the young mistress of the 80-year-old billionaire founder of a large insurance company.
- Ms. Fanservice: Gigi's short skirt and exposed back in her civilian wear highlight her figure. Hathaway walks in on her changing into a bikini in one scene and she sleeps nude. The animation often draws attention to her legs and lips.
- Red Baron: She’s known as the "Goddess of Victory" among the members of the Circe Unit.
- Replacement Goldfish: Hathaway eventually admits the reason he wanted to protect and open up to her is because of his feelings for Quess, who Gigi reminded him of.
- Secret-Keeper: Whether through psychic abilities or watching Hathaway's actions, she knows from the opening that Hathaway is Mafty Navue Erin, a fact she keeps from Kenneth and the Earth Federation due to sympathizing with Mafty's cause.
- Ship Tease: With both Hathaway and Kenneth. She seems to fall for Hathaway, within five minutes of meeting him and pursues him throughout the story. She also is the object of Kenneth’s affection and occasionaly flirts back with him.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: As a young, well-to-do woman with a limited ideology of her own (to the point she tells Hathaway everything would be solved if he just became a God-Emperor), she's even pointed out in the story itself to be just like Quess Paraya back at the start of Char's Counterattack.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: After Hathaway's execution she moves to his birthplace Kyushu alongside Kenneth who plans on setting up another Mafty organisation with Gigi funding them.

A young Neo Zeon pilot who fought under the pseudonym Quess Air during the Second Neo Zeon War. Her death casts a large shadow on Hathaway 12 years after the event.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Her death in the Second Neo Zeon War, and the Earth Federation government using it for a PR campaign afterwards to improve morale, started Hathaway on his path to abandoning his childish beliefs from Char's Counterattack about heroism and duty.
- The Lost Lenore: A girl who Hathaway met and developed a crush on over the course of a few days, whose death continues to haunt him even 12 years later.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's not clear if the Quess that haunts Hathaway's dreams in the story is actually her Newtype spirit, or simply a symptom of the PTSD Hathaway is very likely suffering from.
- Posthumous Character: She's long dead by the time Hathaway takes control of Mafty. However, Hathaway still feels guilt over what happened to her.
- Vengeful Ghost: Quess torments Hathaway in his dreams, driving him to his rash actions. Considering most Newtype spirits are benevolent though, she might just be Hathway's own feelings of guilt eating away at him.

"Death isn't someone who comes for you when you're ready, Hathaway..."
The ace pilot of Londo Bell who disappeared at the end of the Second Neo Zeon War. Over a decade later, the public whispers rumors of him being Mafty's true identity.- Adaptation Expansion: Only talked about in the past tense in the novels, he has a brief cameo as what appears to be a Newtype spirit in the first film adaptation.
- Condescending Compassion: Hathaway wants nothing to do with Amuro's attempt to comfort him in what might be his last moments, shouting at Amuro's ghost / memory to mind his own business.
- Jacob Marley Apparel: Of a sort: Amuro's Newtype spirit appearance in the 1st film has him in the normal suit he was wearing inside the Nu Gundam, when they evaporated during Axis Shock.
- Posthumous Character: While he went missing during Char's rebellion, everybody assumes that Amuro is dead, though Hathaway still catches glimpses of him in flashbacks and dreams.
