Harry Ord (ハリー・オード Harī Ōdo?) is a fictional character from ∀ Gundam television series. Harry is the head of Dianna's Royal Guard, reporting directly to the Queen herself. He pilots a distinctive gold-plated MRC-F20 SUMO and is easily one of the most skilled fighters in the series. An accomplished military strategist, Harry judges situations with a cool and rational demeanor. He is the only person who is readily able to distinguish between Kihel Heim and Dianna Soreil.
Personality & Character[]
Calm and collected, Harry's primary concern is the safety of Queen Soreil, and it is only when that is threatened that he shows signs of breaking his tranquil demeanor. He has a strong sense of justice, and will sometimes go as far as to confront even his Queen about matters that he views are irrational and unjust.
History[]
Very little is revealed about Harry's personal life. One fact that was revealed by Harry himself to Kihel (who was under the guise of Dianna at the time) was that his parents were put into cryostasis but due to the family being of lower status they did not receive as high quality care as nobles would and his father died shortly after being frozen (his mother is presumed to still be alive). What is never stated in the television series is that Harry was also apparently married to woman named Amanda only to be divorced from her prior to his enlisting in Dianna's Royal Guards. Additionally, before becoming a Royal Guard, Harry served as a soldier under Gym Ghingham but later quit due to his distaste for the elitism present in the Fleet.
Harry remains loyal to Dianna throughout the series. He is her most trusted man, and is the only one on the Soreil who realises that she has swapped with Kihel Heim. He serves Kihel as though she were Dianna, while secretly searching for the real Dianna on her orders. He is eventually able to retrieve Dianna and brings her back, promising Loran that he will look after her. He is promoted for looking after Kihel by Dianna. However, Phil's rebellion has Dianna held at gunpoint and Harry is forced to flee with Kihel while pretending that she is the real Dianna in order to throw him off.
Harry leaves Kihel on the Willgem and entrusts Miran Rex with Dianna's safety, unaware that Miran sold her out to Agrippa Maintainer. He pursues Midgard who has taken her under custody, but Midgard's forces evade Harry and launch into space with Dianna. Harry vows vengeance upon Midgard and Miran in the event that anything happens to Dianna. He eventually reunites with the Willgem who are under attack from Poe. He helps the crew and boards the ship with Loran's help, intending to chase Dianna to the moon.
He reunites with Kihel and informs her that he doesn't want Dianna to meet Agrippa alone. He also informs Loran about his intentions to rescue Dianna and confronts Midgards's battleship when in space. As Midgard has Dianna as a hostage, he is unable to do anything other than watch them leave. Eventually, Dianna escapes the ship without Harry's help and he decides to give them Kihel (pretending that she is Dianna) in order to keep the real Dianna safe. Kihel is aware of what Harry is doing, but she confesses her love to him and tells him that she will do whatever he wants if he reciprocates. He does and the couple chare a kiss. He then accompanies her aboard Gym Gingham's ship, though he quickly realises that she is an imposter.
Harry soon escapes Gym's ship with Kihel and breaks into Dianna's palace, causing Agrippa to flee and allowing he and Kihel to reunite with Dianna. Harry proceeds to fight a battle hungry Sweatson Stero and defeats him. However, Midgard soon appears on a battleship and starts firing at Harry, placing the millions of people in hibernation in great danger. Harry is enraged and tries to shift the battlefield, but thankfully Loran activates his Turn A's power and blocks all of the artillery fire. Harry then proceeds to execute a panicked Midgard.[1]
Harry returns to Earth with Dianna and the others. He assists the Dianna Counter forces who are under attack from Gym's forces.[2] He fight Gym and loses. He later joins Kihel (who has replaced Dianna) when she leaves for the moon at the end of the series.[3]
Even when in disguise, Harry still wears glasses that conceal his eyes. While never stated in show, the manga adaption remarks that Harry's vision is impaired, while his other senses are heightened to make up for it.
Relationships[]
Dianna Soreil[]
The Queen of the Moonrace and her safety is the veritable raison d'être, as he puts her above all else. His loyalty to the Moonrace comes secondary to Dianna's.
Kihel Heim[]
The Heim's oldest daughter was non-existent to Harry for the beginning of the story, but after he discovers that she and Dianna switched places, he starts to develop strong feelings for her. He admits to Kihel that these feelings conflict with his devotion to Dianna but tells her that "the eyes beneath his glasses are still searching for another lady." He eventually tells her that though he continues to look at Dianna, his eyes are looking towards her. She teases him by saying that's why he always wears his red glasses.[1] He is able to tell Kihel apart from Dianna by the end even when she wears Dianna's clothes. Harry remains by her side as she and Dianna switch places in the end and Kihel permanently assumes the identity and role of Queen of the Moonrace.[4]
Loran Cehack[]
Unlike the typical masked ace of a series, Harry does not see Loran as a rival, or even as much of a threat. He confronts him only when he feels that Loran's activity is stepping out of bounds, and as the story progresses he develops a degree of respect for Loran and his ideals.
Poe Aijee[]
Throughout the series a great deal of tension builds between Lieutenant Poe and Harry as Poe becomes fervently loyal to Phil Ackman and his goals to overthrow Dianna as ruler. Harry, along with Loran, always manage to keep Poe from completely carrying out Phil's orders and causing harm to Dianna. Because of this, Poe grows to detest Harry despite how he continually deals with her in a civil manner. By the end of the series, both Phil and Poe have a change of heart and resume their duty of protecting their queen. Poe pilots a silver SUMO in the final episodes and accompanies Harry and the Royal Guards in the Dianna Counter's attempt to defeat Gym Ghingham.
