Guel Jeturk (グエル・ジェターク Gueru Jetāku?), is a character in Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury. He was an heir to Jeturk Heavy Machinery, one of the Benerit Group's three branches, and a third-year student in the piloting department at Asticassia School of Technology [5].
Personality & Character[]
Guel had a rough temperament and was quick to anger. As the ace pilot of Jeturk House, he had absolute confidence in his own skills [5].
He was initially a unusually arrogant, insulting and narcissistic bully [7][8][1]. However, after he stopped recieving funds from Vim and assumed the identity of "Bob", he became noticeably more sensitive to others' experiences, and his selfishness became replaced with willingness to help other people [9][3]. At the same time, he develops melancholy tendencies as Guel continues to feel the burden of responsibility for the future of his family and the death of his father[6].
Through his concern for friends and loved ones, it is implied that he always had such traits of a good person, however, his reliance on his own hight skills and position eventually led to the fact that by the time he first met Suletta, his perception of honor turned into arrogance[6][6].The refusal of his family to support him and the painful losses to Suletta and Elan returned his moral compass, forcing him to remember the true meaning of honor again and pay new attention to the people around him[1].
The new trials in his life only reinforced these tendencies, and eventually Guel emerged as a still impulsive but now staunchly pacifist and moral man who despises unnecessary violence, using it as a last resort and even then keeping his opponents alive[3]. He is even willing to sacrifice his life to stop his brother from the killing effects of the Gundam Curse, and to suffer the coveted punishment for killing his father. But Felsi's intervention restores their sanity to both[6].
Skills & Abilities[]
Guel has shown a prodigious level of piloting skill. He was able to corner Sulleta and her Aerial twice, despite being handicapped in both instances (the first time through an imperfect decision making AI, and the second time while suffering PTSD). He was also capable of fighting against Shaddiq despite the latter having deactivated the safety limitation program from his Mobile Suit, allowing him to employ much more lethal force and defeat both him and Sabina by incapacitating both combatants without killing either.
