Septum (セプテム) is a character that appears in the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.

History[]

Background[]

He was planning to meet with Ein Yuy, who was working as the right arm of the Heero Yuy, but Ein's wife Angelina was kidnapped, and Ein, who was chasing after him, invaded a space port under the jurisdiction of the Space Force and tried to shoot him. He later commissioned Odin Lowe to kill Heero Yuy.

During the First Lunar War, he participated in the war as a staff officer at the headquarters of the Ground Forces. At the request of Vingt Khushrenada, who did not want a record of Treize Khushrenada's participation in the actual defeat of the war, he was handed over the reins and rose to the rank of brigadier general in a short period of time, an unprecedented achievement. After serving as commander of the L3 Area Army, he succeeded the assassinated Dotzent as commander of the Space Fortress Bulge. In retaliation, he attempted to carry out public executions of prisoners of war, including innocent civilians, and triggered the Second Lunar War. The Second Lunar War becomes a stalemate due in part to the intervention of the Specials, but the war ends when the Specials accept an exchange of prisoners of war of Alliance soldiers with Trowa Barton in order to prevent the realization of their cozy relationship with the Barton Foundation.

In the manga "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Episode Zero," he was in charge of the Alliance operation to decommission Chang Wufei's colony A0206. His plan was to use chemical weapons to eliminate the members of the Long Clan within the colony as part of the decommission plans. However, when Sally Po, the woman he put in charge of this genocide operation objected to the operation by suggesting a more humane approach, Septum refused, believing it was the best way to remove the Long Clan, which he believed was a dangerous rogue element. When this plan failed, Sally decided to falsify her report to Septum to protect the colony's inhabitants, which resulted in her being transferred to work at an Alliance hospital in Japan.

A.C. 195[]

Septum was lenient on military force to subdue the colonies from declaring independence. However, during a conference between Alliance leaders, many, including Marshal Noventa, advocated demilitarization and dialogue with the colonies. Septum tried citing the Gundams are making attacks on their bases; Noventa was confident that once they carry out their plans, the Gundam pilots would understand. Then suddenly, the Gundams attack the conference, led on false information from Treize that all the OZ leaders were gathered. Noventa was intent on opening up to the Gundams but Treize insisted that they evacuate. However, Treize had Septum come aboard his shuttle, where he was convinced to make a public statement denouncing the Gundams and labeling their actions as having ruined of the Alliance's peace talks. Immediately after the announcement, he was ejected from the shuttle and shot in free-fall by Lady Une, killing him before he could even hit the ground. With the Alliance leadership dead, OZ began a coup d'état to eradicate the Alliance to install a new world order with the Romefeller Foundation in charge. In the novel version, although he was vehemently opposed to disarmament, he is said to have deeply respected Noventa as a great general.

In the manga "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers," when the Gundams appeared at the New Edwards base, he accused Vice-Minister Darlian of inviting them, but immediately after that Heero destroyed the shuttle containing Marshal Noventa, resulting in a piece of debris hitting the room they were in, seriously injuring him and Darlian. Still angry, he activated the launch sequence of a satellite nuclear missile toward New Edwards in an attempt to destroy the Gundams, but the missile was shot down by Heero.
