Mikhail Blanc is a student at Mihoshi Academy's pilot training course and a second lieutenant in the S.M.S. Skull Squadron. He is a classmate and friendly rival of Alto Saotome, whom he nicknamed Princess Alto. Known for his exceptional marksmanship, Blanc operates a blue VF-25G sniper variant and lives by the motto of always acquiring his target, whether an enemy or a romantic interest. He maintains a reputation as a ladies' man, using charm and flirtation as a social facade.

Blanc's background is shaped by personal loss: his older sister Jessica died by suicide after being disgraced by a friendly fire incident, a tragedy that left him guarded and cynical about love. He grew up alongside Klan Klang, for whom he harbors deep but unspoken feelings, and his protective instincts often override his casual demeanor. In the story of Macross FB7, he serves as a supporting character, providing long-range sniper support against the Vajra threat while interacting with the Frontier crew as they investigate the mystery behind Fire Bomber’s silence. His development involves moving past his reluctance to open up, culminating in a willingness to risk everything for those he cares about, particularly Klan. His key relationships include his teasing yet loyal friendship with Alto and his tense, affectionate bond with Klan. Notable abilities include flawless sniping in variable fighter combat and a keen observational skill that allows him to perceive underlying tensions and plots.
