Luin Lee (ルイン・リー Ruin Rī?) or Mask is a character that appears in the Gundam Reconguista in G television series. He is a cadet at the Capital Guard Academy, and is Manny Ambassada's boyfriend.

Personality & Character[]

He initially appears as a kind and compassionate person as shown when he stood up for Bellri Zenam when a person tripped him up for a joke, and scolded him for it. He normally acts mature and responsible, but his status as a Kuntala weighs upon him and may blind him to his surroundings. Making a name for himself as a Kuntala becomes an obsession for him as he throws his identity away and assumes the persona of 'Captain Mask'. He does not trust those of more privileged bloodlines, irrationally believing they would mistreat a Kuntala like himself and being jealous of them.

Skills & Abilities[]

A top student in the 1010th class, Luin has shown to be a very skilled MS pilot, being able to hold his own against Klim Nick, and cause damage to his Montero. Luin has good reflexes shown when he evaded a punch from an officer who was testing him and Manny.

History[]

Luin was present in at the briefing about space and learnt about the captured Raraiya Monday. He helped Bellri and Dellensen Samatar defeat Aida Surugan, who attacked the Capital Tower in the G-Self.[1] He later returned to the academy with Bellri and the others, informing him about where the G-Self was. While the pair were placed on guard duty at a ball, Luin teased Bellri about wanting to see Aida again. He is soon assigned to guard duty at a ball where the Holy Minister, Gel Trimedestus Nug, would be attending alongside Bellri. The pair would then team up to help evacuate the guests during the attack from the Pirate Corps. He joins Bellri on the way to the prison tower (alongside Manny, Raraiya and Noredo Nug) but is left behind while on a call where he is ordered to fight back in a Recten. He catches up to them and tries to get everyone to safety. He tells Aida (who was retrieved by Bellri and the others) that the Pirate Corps demanded her return. They are picked up by Kerbes Yoh in his F-Rug. Kerbes informs Bellri that Dellensen wants him to pilot the G-Self and takes him to the hangar. Luin helps take the G-Self out of the hangar and watches as Bellri uses it in battle.[2]

Mask and Kuntala

After Bellri and Noreda are taken captive by the Pirate Corps, Luin is transferred to the Capital Army where he disguises himself as 'Mask'. He is given the Elf Bullock, and soon heads into battle against the crew of the Megafauna, where he faces Klim Nick and eventually the G-Self. After being caught off guard by the G-Self's beam sabers, he retreats.[3] He attacks again when the Megafauna returns to Earth and backs the crew into a corner, but is pushed back when an Armorzagan appears to reinforce them.[4] He returns to the Capital Army and is infuriated at being used as a guinea pig just because he's a Kuntala, but calms down when Manny approaches him. He tells her that he needs to clear the shame of his defeat as Captain Mask, and she accommodates him.[5] He faces the G-Self once more but is defeated once again and has to be rescued by Barara Peor.[6]

As the war against the Amerian Army draws closer, Luin is given the Mack Knife to pilot. He heads into battle, taking Kerbes hostage against the G-Self and drawing him out of his mobile suit. He confronts him and recognizes Bellri, but proceeds to fight him anyway. However, Kerbes breaks free and attacks Mask. He faces Bellri and Aida alongside Barara but they fail to coordinate and are defeated, forcing them to withdraw.[7] After failing to take back the G-Self, Mask decides to crush the Amerian Army's advance guard to redeem himself. He targets the Salamandra while its defences are weak, but is intercepted by the G-Self Assault Pack. Klim's troops return and as the fighting draws closer to Sankt Porto, he is forced to withdraw.[8]

After the Towasanga fleet attacks, Mask greets Bellri and the others aboard the Garanden after their leaders agree to a joint front against the new enemy. He tells Barara to stay in the rear, hoping that the Amerian Army and Towasanga will wipe each other out. After the joint operation fails, he retreats to Sankt Port with the others and they instead join in the negotiations.[9] He is later told by Cumpa to kill Noutu Dorette once he returns to his ship rather than on holy land which would cause public backlash. They engage the Dorette Fleet in combat, then leave for the moon.[10]

With Cumpa onboard, they enter Cyrano-5 in the hopes of turning Towasanga into their temporary allies so that they can acquire their military power.[11] After Cumpa negotiates with the Hazm Corporation, they are given the Bifron which Mask entrusts to Barara. With the new mobile suite, they head into battle against the Pirate Corps, once more hoping to reclaim the G-Self. Rockpie Getty and his crew soon arrive and stop the conflict, as the Crescent Ship is on the way. All the combatants instead focus on clearing the space debris in order to clear the way for the ship before it arrives.[12] Mask and a small team soon rush onto the Megafauna, catching its crew off guard, and Luin tries to physically take the G-Self from Bellri. As other factions join the battle, Mask is defeated by Rockpie's new Gaitrash.[13]

Manny and Mask reunite

At some point, Mask returned to the battle taking place in the Earth Sphere and occupied the Kashiba Mikoshi after Gel was taken hostage by Noutu and retrieved him. He also learnt about the Full Moon Ship. Rather than looking after the Kashiba Mikoshi, he instead sorties to pursue the Salamandra. The Garanden is approached by a G-Rach and Barara's team attacks it, but Mask notices that it is sending out a signal. After the signal is deciphered, he realises it is Manny and has the crew welcome her aboard. He marvels at the G-Rach and reunites with Manny, impressed she brought it back alone.[14] As the bulk of the Capital Army fights off the Amerian Army and Dorette Troops, Luin's team makes contact with the Full Moon Ship and he meets with the G-IT Corps.[15]

They establish an alliance, and Mask confirms with Flaminia Kalle that he is fine with Barara destroying the Bifron as it has reached its limit anyway. He mocks the G-IT Corps behind their back after Manny notes that they strive for battle, saying that those kinds of people appear when things are too peaceful. She tries to ask him if he likes fighting, but he refuses and tells her he only has the courage to do so because she is with him. He refuses when she asks him to befriend Bellri, as he thinks that Bellri is on the way to becoming a dictator. He is surprised when he hears that Bellri and Aida are siblings and are from the Rayhunton Family and reveals his bitterness towards Bellri who is from a prestigious lineage while he is a Kuntala. He then heads out in his new Kabakali, impressed at Barara and her new Yggdrasil. He watches as she uses it against the Dorette Fleet and Amerian Army, thinking that she will be killed if she takes her jealousy into battle.[16]

After Barara's death, he heads out with the G-IT Corps in order to defend the Full Moon Ship and notices the Knossos approaching. His troops face he Towasanga remnants and he destroys the Knossos, killing Mashner Hume in the process. He then notices Manny approaching the in G-Rach, and joins her in the battle against the Salamandra. He backs up Manny when she attacks the G-Self. When she falls to Earth after being pulled down by the gravitational field, he protects her G-Rach with his Kabakali as they enter the atmosphere and finally removes his mask. After descending, Luin and Manny spot the G-Self making its way down and resolve to attack it once more.[17]

Luin Attacks

Luin goes after Bellri

The pair attack the G-Self, but it manages to hide itself. Manny eventually finds it and chases Bellri into a tunnel, but as her mobile armor is too big she is unable to pursue him further. Luin heads inside alone, and eventually tracks Bellri down. Bellri continues to hold back and tries to disable the Kabakali, but Luin persistently keeps attacking. Though his Kabakali is cut to pieces, his detached arm manages to badly damage the G-Self and Bellri is forced to use the escape pod. He screams into the distance after exiting his machine.[18]

After the war, he is seen camping with Manny. He watches the Crescent Ship depart on its journey around the world.[18]

Relationships[]

Bellri Zenam[]

Luin appears friendly with Bellri at first, but after discovering that Bellri was the pilot of the G-Self that he was fighting he was unsaved. In fact, he was annoyed at Bellri for getting in his way. He does not actually trust Bellri who is from a privileged family, and his distrust and hatred only grows when he learns that Bellri is from the Rayhunton Family. He is jealous that Bellri has everything and assumes that he looks down on the Kuntala.

Manny Ambassada[]

Manny is Luin's girlfriend and he is happy to see her when she cheers him on. After becoming 'Mask', he becomes distant from her, wanting to wipe his shame of defeat away first.
