Description
Gael Chan serves as the personal secretary and bodyguard to Cardeas Vist, the head of the Vist Foundation, in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096. He is a burly, muscular man who presents a calm and stoic demeanor, rarely displaying his emotions openly. His history prior to working for the Vist Foundation is extensive; he was formerly a member of the Earth Federation Forces and later spent time with an underground organization. This background granted him significant knowledge of insider information regarding both the military and police forces.
Gael's primary motivation is his unwavering loyalty to Cardeas Vist. He became a trusted confidant not merely out of professional obligation but because he genuinely admired and sympathized with Cardeas Vist's vision for the future, specifically the belief that opening Laplaces Box would lead to a better world. The mutual trust between them runs deep, surpassing that of a typical employer-employee relationship. This devotion is the driving force behind all his actions throughout the story.
In the narrative, Gael is initially tasked with critical security management for the UC Project and is ordered by Cardeas to destroy the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam during the battle on Industrial 7, though the facilitys destruction forces him to retreat before he can complete this order. After Cardeas passes away, Gael remains by the side of the family patriarch, Syam Vist, continuing in his protective role. When Banagher Links and Mineva Lao Zabi return to the Vist Mansion to uncover the truth of Laplaces Box, Gael is present with Syam to witness the revelation of the original Universal Century charter. He explains to Banagher that the Unicorn Gundams La+ Program was designed to identify true Newtypes, which is what ultimately led them to the Box.
One of the most defining moments for Gael occurs during the final confrontation on the colony Magallanica. When the Neo Zeong threatens to stop Syam Vist from broadcasting the truth of Laplaces Box, Gael pilots the ARX-014 Silver Bullet mobile suit into battle to clear a path for Cardeas Visits son, Banagher Links. Despite being outmatched by Full Frontal's overwhelming firepower, Gael refuses to retreat, fighting until his mobile suit is systematically disabled. In his final moments, he tells Banagher that he came to this place not because of a curse, but of his own free will, and urges him to never waver, affirming that Banagher is truly his fathers son. This sacrifice is a direct manifestation of his loyalty and his belief in Cardeas Vist's dream.
Notable abilities possessed by Gael include his proficiency in combat and strategy, a result of his training in the Federation Forces, and his skill as a mobile suit pilot. He is knowledgeable, resourceful in dangerous situations, and capable of performing under extreme pressure, all of which qualify him as a valuable asset to the Vist Foundation.
