Personality & Character[]
History[]
Dominicus[]
Olcott was a former member of Dominicus and a veteran mobile suit pilot, with his own sense of justice. His son was killed during an attack by Earthians some time before he joined the Dawn of Fold. Following these events, he threw away any personal attachments, including his real name.
At some point he lost his left arm, requiring a cybernetic replacement.[2]
A.S. 122[]
Olcott was the main commander for the Dawn of Fold's attack on Plant Quetta. He led the initial force deploying jammers in the Plant's airspace before ordering Sophie and Norea to begin their assault. [3]
After the attack, Olcott spotted Guel Jeturk in a stolen Desultor and took him captive as the Dawn of Fold returned to their base on Earth in Japan. He returned to Guel chained in a bathroom. After hearing from Sedo and Seethia that he had not eaten in three days, Olcott began force-feeding him, saying he still had value as a hostage and couldn't escape by dying.
Olcott talks with Naji about the Dawn of Fold's evacuation plan
During the evacuation preparations, Olcott noticed several kids making a makeshift grave for Sophie and bemoaned that it was a waste of time in an evacuation, but Naji commented that remembering Sophie would help them overcome their fears of dying soon after. Olcott questioned if that would really help, and Naji replied that he in particular should understand, which he dismissed. Olcott offered to stay behind with the other pilots to provide cover for the evacuation of the refugees from the base.
Olcott was stationed as a sentry during the night to watch for incoming Benerit forces, but he abandoned his post after seeing Sedo and Seethia heading towards Guel. Upon seeing Seethia holding a knife intent to stab Guel, he restrained her and ordered the two to head to the evacuee trucks. Seethia lashed out at why Guel was brought back and not her father, but Olcott noticed Guel asking the same question and coming to tears. Olcott unlocked his handcuffs but insisted it was only to use him as a shield. However, a Benerit squadron arrived at the base, and a missile blast from a Zowort hit the school and blasted the room the four were standing in. [2]
