This is a list of fictional characters featured in the Cosmic Era (CE) timeline of the Gundam anime metaseries. These characters appear in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny anime, as well as in the manga and OVA spinoffs. Both series focus on the raging conflict between Naturals and Coordinators. Gundam SEED begins when Heliopolis is attacked by ZAFT. Kira Yamato pilots the GAT-X105 Strike to protect his friends on the Archangel as they head towards Earth [1]
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny continues two years after Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and follows the protagonist Shinn Asuka and his duties in ZAFT.

Antagonists

The number one enemy of Mu La Flaga,Was the pilot of ZGMF-X13A Providence.
Patrick Zala
Chairman of PLANT. Athrun Zala's Father.
Blue Cosmos/Logos
Muruta Azrael
Biological CPUs
Shani Andras
Shani Andras (シャニ・アンドラス, Shani Andorasu) pilots the GAT-X252 Forbidden. Shani is antisocial and prefers to fight alone to avoid interference from his teammates.[2] In between missions, he blocks out the outside world by listening to music via headphones.[2] His eyes are different colors, but his hair, which usually covers the left side of his face, conceals that fact.[2]
Shani is by far the most brutal of the human CPUs. Due to his insatiable lust for carnage and devastation, he often neglects orders to retreat and even attacks his own teammates while "having fun". Shani does not state Orga or Clotho's names. As the series progresses, he reveals himself to be a sadistic sociopath with no moral restraints whatsoever. In one instance in the story, he is seen eagerly anticipating the destruction of the PLANTS for the sole purpose of seeing "all the pretty lights".
Shani is the first to die among the three. Shani is killed by Yzak Joule during the Second Battle of Jachin Due, when his GAT-X252 Forbidden is destroyed by Yzak's GAT-X102 Duel Gundam. Shani Andras is voiced by Shunichi Miyamoto in Japanese and Richard Ian Cox in English.
Clotho Buer
Clotho Buer (クロト・ブエル, Kuroto Bueru) is a talkative and quarrelsome person who is constantly arguing with his teammates.[3] While he fights in his GAT-X370 Raider, he enjoys shouting out video game–inspired battle cries.[3] Between missions he spends his time playing on a portable game system called the "Great Wonder Swan XXX (unknown number)". The WonderSwan is an actual Japanese portable game system, produced by Sunrise's parent company Bandai.
Depending on the version of Gundam SEED seen, Clotho is killed during the Second Battle of Jachin Due either by Yzak Joule in the GAT-X102 Duel using the Buster's rifle (original Gundam SEED), or by Dearka Elsman in the GAT-X103 Buster (Gundam SEED: Special Edition). According to the PlayStation 2 game, Gundam SEED: Never Ending Tomorrow, Clotho is not killed by Dearka Elsman or Yzak Joule, but dies due to his nervous system failing however it is seen that the GAT-X370 Raider is destroyed by Yzak. In Gundam SEED Destiny, during ZAFT forces investigation of the Extended laboratory at Lodonia, Talia Gladys discovers Clotho's record in the base's files. Athrun Zala recognize him and his mobile suit when his picture went up. (Though Athrun never tell Talia, Shinn, and the others in the Minerva about this and his battles with the first group of the Extended.) Clotho also appears in a flashback during the late Rau Le Creuset monologue to Gilbert Durandal (though the scene used is taken from the scenario in which Clotho was killed by Yzak Joule). Clotho Buer is voiced by Hiro Yūki in Japanese and Andrew Toth in English.
Orga Sabnak
Orga Sabnak (オルガ・サブナック, Oruga Sabunakku) is effectively the leader of the three biological CPUs. He uses tactics that are reckless and aggressive,[4] causing him to often nearly hit his teammates while piloting his mobile suit, the GAT-X131 Calamity.[4] He usually spends his time between missions reading paperback novels.[4] He is also the only member of the team to care about the welfare of the other two; when Shani is killed, he screams out his teammate's name, and tries to attack Yzak, his killer.
Unlike Clotho and Shani, who were killed by Yzak Joule, Orga was killed during the Second Battle of Jachin Due by Three Ships Alliance pilot Athrun Zala in the ZGMF-X09A Justice equipped with the METEOR. While Orga is dodging a beam, Athrun slices him in half from behind.
From flashback sequences in Gundam SEED Destiny, Shinn Asuka's family is killed by an explosion resulting from a crossfire between Orga's GAT-X131 Calamity, and the ZGMF-X10A Freedom. It is never made clear which mobile suit, if not both of them, is the direct cause of their deaths. Orga Sabnak is voiced by Joshida Ryohei in Japanese and Matt Smith in English.

Supporting characters
Kira's Friends
Miriallia Haw
Sai Argyle
Sai is another friend of Kira Yamato from Heliopolis. When the colony is raided by ZAFT, he ends up with his friends on the Archangel. Sai is put in charge of enemy detection and electronic warfare identification on the CIC of the Archangel. Initially, Sai was in a relationship with Flay Allster but she breaks it off in favor of Kira, which enrages Sai to the point where he tries to move the Strike. Despite his humiliation, Sai does not try to win back Flay and comes to accept that she is with Kira, who is later reported MIA. With Kira gone, Flay attempts to restart her relationship with Sai, denying she ever felt any emotions for Kira but Sai refuses to believe her. Later, Flay is transferred from the Archangel before Operation Spit Break while Sai and the rest of the crew defect to Orb after they are saved by Kira in the stolen ZGMF-X10A Freedom. Sai makes peace with Kira, and the two of them remain on good terms for the remainder of their enlistment together. Sai continues to serve at his post on the Archangel throughout the rest of the war. During that time, he realizes Flay still cares for him in some respects when she calls his name specifically while trying to communicate with the Archangel, and he is deeply saddened when Flay dies at the hands of Rau Le Creuset. A short OVA set after the series shows him going back to a civilian life, one that apparently involves computers. He still keeps pictures of himself with Flay, despite their tumultuous history, and seems content with this new life. Sai Argyle is voiced by Tetsu Shiratori in Japanese and Bill Switzer in English.

Later, he volunteers to pilot the second FX-550 Skygrasper, formerly piloted by Cagalli Yula Athha. He is ultimately killed in action by Athrun Zala.

Nevertheless, Natarle is a superb tactical analyst with keen judgment and a knack for swift decision-making, which made her a valuable asset to the Archangel. After Natarle leaves the Archangel on a transfer order while in Alaska, she is recruited by the Earth Alliance and made captain of the Dominion which forced her to battle against the Archangel. After witnessing the actions of Muruta Azrael of Blue Cosmos, Natarle chooses to defy the Earth Alliance which results in her and Azrael's death.

After the attack on Heliopolis, Mu becomes a crew of the Archangel and develops a relationship with Murrue Ramius. During the course of the series, Mu becomes the pilot of the GAT-X105 Strike and is later seemingly killed after protecting the Archangel from a positron cannon. In Gundam SEED Destiny, Mu is revealed to be alive but brainwashed by Logos into the identity Neo Roanoke (ネオ・ロアノーク, Neo Roanōku), the captain in the Earth Alliance force Phantom Pain. After being captured by the Archangel, Neo experiences flashbacks of his life as Mu and begins to doubt his identity and memories. Mu then rejoins the Archangel to help end the war and becomes the pilot of the ORB-01 Akatsuki.

During the course of the series, Dearka is captured by the Archangel where he meets Kira's friends which prompt him to change his opinions about Naturals. Seeing how both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT had become controlled by genocidal individuals such as Muruta Azrael and Patrick Zala, Dearka retakes his Buster and fights alongside the Archangel.

Initially a cold blooded killer who did not care who was killed, Yzak begins to become disgusted by the act of war and doubts whether ZAFT's intentions are correct.
