History[]
The former mayor of New York, Eschonbach harbored a strong hatred of the Principality of Zeon. However, in order to protect the people of his city, he offerred his cooperation to the Zeon occupation force led by Garma Zabi. He strongly disapproved of his daughter Icelina Eschonbach's relationship with Garma.
While Garma fought the 13th Autonomous Corps, Icelina attempted to chase after him in the Eschonbach private jet, but was stopped by Eschonbach's servants. When Icelina defied her father and told him that she had the right to choose how to live her life, he slapped her, causing her to collapse onto the ground. He then told his servants to keep the jet's keys away from her.
After Eschonbach learned that Garma was killed in battle, he informed his daughter of this, causing her to cry helplessly. He then calmly sipped on a cigar.
