Sato

Sato (サトー) is a fictional character from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.

History
The leader of the group of terrorists - former ZAFT soldiers still loyal to the late Patrick Zala - who caused the Junius Seven Colony Drop out of vengeance for those whom they lost in the Bloody Valentine Tragedy three years earlier. In a last desperate act, Sato tries to take Athrun Zala down with him by clinging to the ZAKU that Athrun is piloting, but Shinn Asuka intervenes by severing the ZAKU's leg and kicking him away thus causing Sato to crash onto the colony. He is killed when the Minerva fired its Tannhauser cannon at Junius Seven.

According to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Re:, he was one of the ZAFT soldiers present during the Bloody Valentine Incident.
