Background[]
“ | If you can't pull the trigger, I can't allow you on the battlefield as a pilot. How unfortunate, given your excellent flying skills. | ” |
—A Zeon officer on Danton. |
Danton Hyleg was a mobile suit test pilot in charge of data collection in the Principality of Zeon and Neo Zeon. Although an exceptional pilot, he remained a test pilot, and was never deployed in combat due to being unwilling to take a life.
After the end of the Second Neo Zeon War, he hid his identity and moved to Side 6 with Arlette Almage.
History[]
Following the events of Laplace's Box, in late U.C. 0096, Danton and Arlette Almage are among the investigative team accompanying the Earth Federation's Mastema special forces team. On a mission to investigate Axis, which is drifting in the Earth Sphere, the team is attacked by the RX-78AN-01 Gundam AN-01 "Tristan" and Birnam forces. To fight back, Danton pilots the abandoned mobile suits of Axis, including a AMX-011S Zaku III Custom and a AMX-104 R-Jarja.
