Nobliss Gordon (ノブリス・ゴルドン Noburis Gorudon?) is a character that appears in the series Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS. He was known around the area as Todo Mirconen said that he has heard the name, and described him as "apparently a super rich man".
Personality & Character[]
Nobliss Gordon is an enigmatic man, content to patiently wait in the shadows as he financially supports individuals or organizations that suit his own agenda. He took great interest in Kudelia's Martian independence movement, and willingly finance her (and indirectly Tekkadan) so that she would be a rallying figure against Gjallarhorn. Yet he would later ally himself with the same oppressive organization when Tekkadan was declared to be criminals.
Skills & Abilities[]
An arms dealer and the owner of GN Trading, he also wields considerable influence in Mars and certain regions of space. He was easily able to manipulate rumors that Kudelia was rallying the Dort Colonies for a revolution, and controlled the civilian media to discredit Tekkadan after the organization retreats to their Mars HQ following the failed Gjallarhorn coup which they assisted.
History[]
Nobliss Gordon was Kudelia Aina Bernstein's sponsor during her independence movement. Kudelia would talk to him again and ask for his sponsorship, using it as payment for Tekkadan's services.
Beneath the surface, he was the one who orchestrated the attempted assassination of Kudelia in the Dort colonies in order to make her a martyr so the people would rebel against Gjallarhorn. However, his double-agent, Fumitan Admoss, failed to lure Kudelia to Dort 2 to be killed by a Gjallarhorn assassin, where Tekkadan was unknowingly delivering weapons to the Dort workers, and the Dort workers managed to drive off the intervening Gjallarhorn forces. Upon being informed of this turn of events, Nobliss wondered what Fumitan was up to. His agents later confronted her and ordered her to lure Kudelia to the upcoming rally at Dort Company HQ, where Nobliss' agents had arranged a bombing to give Gjallarhorn a pretext to massacre the protesters. However, Kudelia's demise was thwarted by Fumitan, who died taking the shots meant for her. Nevertheless, Nobliss' agents judged that public perception would assume her to be involved in the massacre.
He received a call from McMurdo telling him that he was aware of his plans and chastising him about his financial decision. Nobliss failed to understand what McMurdo saw in Kudelia, when the Maiden of Revolution called him directly. Intrigued by her making demands of him, Nobliss pulled strings with the African Union to allow her to broadcast her side of events regarding the Dort massacre.
During Gjallarhorn's attack on Tekkadan, he cut off finances with Kudelia's Admoss Company and colluded with Rustal Elion and manipulated news media. His men were also responsible for killing Orga.
Years after Tekkadan's disbandment, he was confronted by Ride Mass in a cubicle about Orga. He said he didn't remember Orga and was shot dead while relieving himself.
Relationships[]
Nobliss and McMurdo have been seen discussing business and current events, both taking advantage of the half-metal rights race after Tekkadan's first successful mission. As fellow businessmen, they both seem to agree to invest and retract support based on profit, loss, and reputation.
