Orphe (オルフェ, Orufe^?) is a character from the manga Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, the second season of its OVA adaptation and subsequent compilation movie.

Personality & Character

Orphe is an ensign in the Earth Federation Forces and is stationed aboard the Spartan. He pilots a RX-79[GS] Gundam Ground Type S as part of a Mobile Suit team with Marcus and Dent. He can also play the trumpet.

History

A member of the Trust Squad with Io Fleming, Bianca Carlyle, Marcus and Dent, they all carry spare ammunition and weaponry for the RX-78AL Atlas Gundam on their Mobile Suit's backpacks. Orphe engages in multiple offensive and defensive battles against the South Seas Alliance's border garrison aboard the Spartan.

During the battle at the South Seas Alliance's Taal volcano base, the transport which the team was riding into combat was downed by enemy fire, and the team was separated from the Atlas Gundam. Still, they rallied and used the Atlas's railgun to destroy the base's Big Gun emplacement. Barclay returned to the team piloting a Gettar sub-flight system and began to shuttle them one-by-one to the entrance of the volcano base to re-unite with the main force, but Marcus, having volunteered to be the last to go, was killed in action by Daryl Lorenz piloting a MS-06R Psycho Zaku Mark II.

Remaining with the Trust Squad, Orphe would be sent into space where he would pilot a RGM-79/GH Gundam Head equipped with Full Armor equipment. The Trust Squad would continue the pursuit of the South Seas Alliance, which was staging in the "Thunderbolt Sector" to attack Side 3.
