Characters already in the game: None
How did you find us?: Previous mun playing Dorothy Catalonia from Gundam Wing
Character name: Treize Khushrenada
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Timeline: Just after Epyon has been completed and he’s begun planning his death to end the war. October 10th, AC 195.
Age: 24
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: He is a superior swordsman, sharpshooter, pilot, and soldier. Treize is an excellent politician and strategist with the charisma to lead men and influence people even after his death.
How would they use their abilities?: Generally for his own personal gain. Treize is most likely to try his hand at gathering ‘elite soldier’s, i.e. people who are both skilled and will follow his every word. He will not, however, force someone to do his bidding unless he was certain of his authority over them.
Appearance: Treize has pale blue eyes, short light brown hair (almost a ginger) that is typically slicked back. His eye brows are a bit oddly shaped, slightly forked at the edges. His nose is long and generally considered Roman, displaying his aristocratic breeding. Throughout the series, he is never shown out of his OZ uniform-a Napoleon naval uniform that consists of a dark blue half cape, blue vest with white under shirt, and tan leggings; finished with knee high black boots. He generally wears white gloves as well as his European-style sword.
Background/Personality:
*headcanon
Treize Khushrenada was born into an aristocratic family in AC 171. Raised as a noble, Treize knew his place and learned how best to convince people to do as he thought best. His oldest friend was raised along side him, one Zechs Merquise. They occasionally found themselves joined by Treize’s cousin, Dorothy Catalonia, the daughter of the founder of OZ. They found her disturbing, however fond Treize was of the young girl.
He started his career as a soldier young, going through officer training and moving up until he was teaching at the Lake Victoria Base. During a rebel attack in 189, Treize volunteered himself and his cadets to go into battle. During this attack, Treize was injured and woke up in a Barton Foundation medical center. His nurse, Leia Barton, intrigued him for her seeming dislike of her own family's Foundation, as she said her father made the entire colony rain to put out a small fire. Treize called it incompetence, which she agreed with.
In 193, Treize’s uncle, General Catalonia, had been killed in battle. Catalonia had been the leader of OZ (Order of the Zodiac), a title that passed from the founder to Treize. Treize also succeeded in creating the Specials unit of the Alliance’s military. This portion of the military specialized in highly trained soldiers. They provided weapons to the military as well. They fought wherever, and whenever, Treize wished, giving them the opinion of the rest of the Alliance military as being bloodthirsty.
Around the time Treize grew to the rank of general, in 194, the Alliance wanted to clear out one of the colonies in the L5 cluster. Treize learned of this and sent his men, already influencial enough to have garnered loyalty, to do the job properly. As the Alliance was planning to use biological weapons to ‘decontaminate’ the colony, Treize saw this as dishonourable and wanted it done cleanly. It was the first time OZ and the Alliance's actions differed. Along with Alliance Sanitation Commander, Sally Po, Treize reported the decontamination of the L5 cluster a success, despite the colony's defense having succeeded in repelling his suits. His second in command, one Lady Une, informed him of the sighting of a gundanium mobile suit outside the colony and asked if he wanted it reported to the Alliance. He declined, stating that mobile suit was the colonies' will to rebel and that it was an enemy he should face. He knew that he would be facing an attack from the L5 colony in retaliation to his part in their attack. He told Une that the justice of space would descend upon Earth, and that they should wait for it.
April of 195 had the start of Operation Meteor, where five 'shooting stars' fell to Earth. OZ had learned of the probability of this and were prepared to counter the Colonies' move. In response to Zechs fighting and losing three mobile suits against a gundam, Treize has to calm his superiors down. He told Zechs the colonies’ attack wouldn’t have happened if they’d been in OZ fifteen years before, referring to the pacifist Heero Yuy’s assassination. He went on to tell Zechs to do nothing to anger the Alliance. In the meeting, Treize is accused of abusing the Alliance’s valuable combat recourses, to which he asked if they were referring to the soldiers of the mobile suits, displaying which he valued higher. It also showed that he didn’t think highly of his superiors.
Treize relied on Zechs to be his right hand, or advance soldier. He made plans with him and valued Zechs’ opinions, which is also displayed in how much freedom to do his will Zechs is allowed, compared to the other soldiers under Treize’s leadership.
Treize told Une to take care of Dorlian because he was in the way of Treize’s plans, which led to Dorlain’s assassination. Because the Vice Foreign Minister’s daughter, Relena, bore witness, Une sought to kill her as well. However, during the attack on Relena’s school during the spring dance, Treize ordered it off. This was due to Noin’s informing Treize of Relena’s familial relationship to Zechs, and him responding as a favour to his old friend. It displays his loyalty to old and valuable friends.
Displaying his ruthlessness, Treize put himself and Une up as bait for the gundam pilots in the form of ‘letting out’ the fact high ranking OZ officials would be at the New Edwards Base. It was only true in the fact he and Une were there, the meeting was between the leading Alliance’s pacifists to discuss how best to end the war. When the pilots took that bait and attacked, Treize advised the pacifists to escape using his own shuttle. Wing Zero took flight and sliced the shuttle in half, destroying the Alliance’s pacifists. Treize used this trap to change the course of history to his own purposes. As he personally oversaw this part of his plan, through Zechs he set into motion a world-wide coup to overthrow the Alliance as the main military power.
Successful in displacing the Alliance with OZ, Treize managed to work the trap for the gundam pilots into it being a ‘declaration of war by the Colonies’, justifying his actions and increasing his military strength.
Straight from the New Edwards Base, Treize joined his fleet of ships, leaving dealing with removing the gundams from the New Edwards Base up to Une. She used that to order the missiles on the base to be detonated. Later, upon this failing, Treize commented that they were saved by the Gundams. His love of the Earth is displayed when he went on to mention that the Earth is a confined place and should be treated gently. Une was chastised by Treize telling her she needed to learn more about OZ.
When Treize’s fleet was attacked, he could easily have escaped unscathed. However, when a gundam attacked Une’s ship, he returned. Instead of continuing that attack, the gundam headed for him. The pilot, Chang Wufei, noticed Treize standing with a sword in obvious challenge, and left his suit to accept. Despite Treize succeeding in the subsequent duel, Wufei was allowed to leave with his life. When Une questioned him on letting the enemy go, Treize responded by saying it was a good fight and that he respected the pilot for giving him the honour of fighting with his choice of weapons. He saw why Wufei made a good gundam pilot and that he looked forward to the rematch, when they could fight with Wufei’s speciality - the mobile suit.
When Une threatened the Colonies during a fight with all five Gundams, with the demand to hand the gundams over, Treize spoke through Noin to tell Une to be more graceful about everything. It showed he disagreed with that method, as he didn’t want to involve civilians - OZ’s targets were the rebels. Despite this second chastisement to Une, Treize continues to have a very loyal right hand, displaying how charismatic he is. The fact Une drastically changed her personality just to please him is another testimony of this.
Treize’s faith in Une is shown by him continuing to give her responsibilities that he would give no one else, despite her occasional misunderstanding of what he really wanted.
When Relena’s life was again threatened due to Une, Treize sent Noin to be Relena’s bodyguard and to make sure the girl kept out of trouble.
With Romefellar’s rise to power, as a noble member of the Foundation who create and developed weapons, Treize went to a converence with their leaders to speak and rally people to his cause. There, he met Relena who had interrupted the conference despite Noin’s presense and caused a stir. Noin was then thanked for removing her from the stage, and excuses were made by Treize to the leader of Romefellar. The fact Treize took the time to personally thank Noin displays he respects his soldiers and acknowledges their talent and what they succeed at.
However, Romefellar used it as an excuse to bring up Zechs’ ‘too many freedoms’. Treize simply agreed to contact Zechs and order him to destroy the gundam Zechs was rebuilding, if it was what the Foundation wanted. This was despite what Treize’s disagreement of the decision, the latter of which Noin expressed to Zechs.
Treize gave Zechs a chance to keep fighting for him after Zechs’ capture (after the rematch with the Wing Gundam). However, Zechs declined. Treize requested that he sacrifice himself for OZ so he could make the most value out of his death by motivating his soldiers. Zechs knew, when the conversation ended, that he was to be tested to see if he could survive as friends with Treize.
Treize knew the new mobile dolls were being tested to replace human soldiers and personally went to represent the human soldiers against the Dolls by piloting a Leo and attacking the Dolls. The display expresses his respect for soldiers in battle, giving it meaning instead of simply being a game, as the removal of bloodshed from the battle field would make it.
Treize asked Tsubarov, Romefeller’s chief engineer and designer of the mobile dolls, to place more value on human lives and grow to love them. He wanted to show Tsubarov how much respect he had gathered from his soldiers by valuing their lives by ordering the soldiers Tsubarov had brought with him to protect him, to turn around and kill him. To add to that and drive the point in, Treize proceeded to order his men to stand down before they fired.
A monologue where Treize tells Zechs to hurry up and return to him because without Zechs around to help, OZ would allow worthless actions by worthless people displays how highly Treize values Zechs, even then.
Zechs survived the attack that was more a test than anything, however he swore he could never be Treize’s friend again when his mask broke, which it did during that battle. Because he survived, Zechs was labled OZ’s enemy. In a sense, Zechs did indeed die, as he discarded his mask and the name and personae that had accompanied it, regaining his birthname and identity, Milliardo Peacecraft. As Milliardo, Zechs went to space as a goodwill ambassador, completely seperate from OZ and Treize.
Treize asked Une how she was planning to use the mobile dolls she was fond of. When told the dolls would replace humans, and that his future was already mapped out and all he needed to do was join her in space, Treize declined, having no desire to rule the Earth and Colonies from space by using the soulless dolls. He asked Une to return to him as the Une he used to be so fond of, as he was not pleased with the changes she went through, despite it all having been for him.
Treize admitted to Milliardo during a battle that he lacked the power to change the path Romefellar was taking. That OZ was taking a path he had never expected and that ignored the true heart of humans. He admitted to not having the power at the moment, and asked Milliardo to save Une in the battle. Even though Une’s feelings for Treize caused split personalities in her, that he made her feel insecure, Une vowed during that battle to fight for Treize’s ideals. Milliardo, despite having left Treize’s chain of command, succeeded in keeping Une from being harmed by the beam canon.
The more the mobile dolls were used by Romefeller, the less pleased Treize became. When Treize was informed he was being relied upon more for his leadership of OZ, he appologized and said he could no longer support the direction being taken. He made the point that mobile dolls were soulless and would be an embarrassment of the future. He asked that OZ be removed from Romefeller, however he was confined to Romefeller’s headquarters to prevent bloodshed. It still caused a schism to form between his supporters, and Romefeller loyalists in OZ.
During his period of house arrest in his mansion in Luxembourg, Treize created a mobile suit made of gundanium of his own design, installing the ZERO system that 04 used. He called that machine the Gundam Epyon, and decided that to end the war, once he left his house arrest, his death would be required. A way to tell his followers to put their weapons down. He inputted the gundam pilots’ prints to allow them free access should they come for him with the intent to give Epyon to them if they agreed to use it, then kill him.

What a fascinating turn of events.
[The man’s voice was mildly amused as he spoke. At first, it was more as an aside to himself than directed at anyone. Then, showing his awareness that he was broadcasting, he spoke a bit louder than the soft murmur he had used to start with.]
I understand there are a number of individuals who are familiar with me. If they would give me a few minutes of their time, it would be appreciated.
To those whom I have yet to meet, greetings. I look forward to becoming acquainted with each of you.
Until such a time is convenient.

3rd person sample:
Treize frowned at the sheet of paper ‘condoling his loss’ and explaining a few things. Earth? Destroyed? Yes, it was ironic that it had been hit by a meteor, considering the start of the end of the Alliance and the rise of his own organization.
The grumblings of unfamiliar voices around him had him deciding to go with the act, as it must be, and stood. He got in line, the vague instructions told him to pick up a few dozen forms, fill them out, and hand them in. Exactly as if he really were a refugee.
The line to hand them in was rather ridiculous, but finally he was at the head and standing in front of... what? Not only did he not recognize the species of a few other ‘refugees’, but the being he was being stared at boredly was even more far fetched than he could imagine. Regardless, he gave a polite smile and slid the papers over. “I believe you will need nothing more.”
His comment was ignored as the worker looked over the papers. After a few minutes, where he waited patiently without giving the impression of impatience, the forms were returned. He was told to go back and get yet another form, one he had apparently forgotten. Inwardly, Treize sighed. However, being who he was and practice with such ridiculous and time-wasting events, he bowed his head slightly and turned, discarded papers in hand and went back to pick up that last form, fill it out, and get back at the back of the line. He’d discovered, after a little digging, that the ‘missing’ form had been placed underneath another pile, explaining how it had been missed.
Finally he was through and allowed to head on to the ship proper. The rather silly organization of the running of the ship was puzzling, but one he resolved to fix if he had not been mislead when it came to Earth’s destruction. He left with nothing more than a ‘Guide’, a convenient handheld device that he knew he would be taking a good look at, just told to look at any hallway for where he was expected to stay until he could afford better. Afford better? Hm. No funds, as he’d not been expecting to be cast out of Epyon with nothing.
Questions?: More a comment. I do not consider Frozen Teardrop canon. If you see something that is from there, please let me know. And I would like Epyon to have arrived with him.
