Yzak Jule

Yzak Joule graduated at the top of his class from the ZAFT military academy, granting him the right to wear the red uniform of an elite ZAFT pilot. Upon his graduation, Yzak was assigned to the prestigious ZAFT Le Creuset special operations team. His mother is a member in the PLANT Supreme Council, as are parents of the other elite pilots in the Le Creuset Team. Soon after his arrival, he was assigned to infiltrate the Orb space colony, Heliopolis to capture the Earth Alliance's new prototype mobile weapons. Yzak manages to escape Heliopolis with the Duel, and after the space colony began to break down, Yzak becomes the Duel Gundam's permanent pilot. Yzak, with the rest of the Rau Le Creuset team, continued to harass the Archangel and Kira Yamato, pilot of the GAT-X105 Strike.

During one battle Kira gives Yzak a scar across his face, and Yzak wears it as reminder of who gave it to him. Each time he battles against Kira he is unable to defeat him. He later fought him again when Kira Yamato appeared with the stolen Freedom Gundam at the Battle of JOSH-A. That time, Kira cut off the Duel's legs and kicked him off to save him from the Cyclops system. He participates in the Battle of Porta Panama, in which he fought for the first time the EAs GAT-01 Strike Dagger.

He later met his old friend Dearka Elsman on the Mendel Colony who tries to convince Yzak that ZAFTs current actions of killing all of the Naturals is wrong, but Yzak refused to believe it. Eventually Yzak chose to aid the Clyne Faction during the Second Battle of Jachin Due, after seeing the destructive capabilities of ZAFTs GENESIS weapon and realizing what Dearka said before about the current ZAFT could be true.

Near the end of the Bloody Valentine War, Yzak is promoted and given command of his own special forces unit. After the war, Yzak serves in his mother's place as a temporary member of the PLANT Supreme Council. Following this, he is promoted to white uniform status and reforms the Joule Team, which now also includes his former comrade on the Le Creuset Team, Dearka Elsman. The Joule Team was involved in the unsuccessful attempt to prevent the Junius Seven Drop, as well as the pursuit of the next-generation Gundams stolen from ZAFT, where a lot of his subordinates were killed. As a commander, Yzak is initially assigned a blue colored ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom, which he had outfitted with the optional Slash armament pack (fitting his hand-to-hand combat style). Later, he switches to a white coloured ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited. In addition, he had his scar removed after the war, presumably symbolizing the end to his grudge against Kira. During the Second Bloody Valentine War, he leads the attack on one of the Requiem stations during the initial attack.

It should be noted that Yzak did not immediately side with the Archangel; at first, he went after Athrun, once again feeling his leadership position threatened. Dearka intervened, however, and convinced him to focus on the battle. As the Archangel and Eternal entered battle with the Messiah, Yzak ordered his forces to guard the Eternal, under the logic that he would be guarding a ZAFT ship.

It has been speculated by fans of the series that Yzak and Dearka are in a homosexual relationship. Whether this is true has not been confirmed.
