Description
In the anime Galaxy Angel Z, Lieutenant Colonel Volcott O. Huey serves as the commanding officer of the Angel Brigade, a special unit within the Transbaal Empire's military forces. At fifty-five years old and standing 185 centimeters tall, he is a seasoned veteran whose age is a constant concern, as he faces the imminent threat of retirement. His full name is occasionally altered in humorous contexts, such as when he participates in a diving competition under the alias Vladimir Volcott.
Volcott presents a calm and gentle personality, often appearing as a patient and good-natured superior who tries to balance the chaotic energy of his all-female squad. However, his attempts at maintaining order are frequently ineffective, and he often finds himself dragged into the very mayhem he seeks to control. When overwhelmed by stress or panic, he develops a peculiar coping mechanism, compulsively vacuuming his surroundings as an anchor to routine. While he can be stern and prioritize duty, his leadership style blends authority with paternal concern, making him a father figure to the team. This nurturing side is most evident in his relationship with Forte Stollen, whom he rescued from the streets as a child and guided into a military career; she follows him as a devoted mentor, and the two share a close bond that resembles that of a father and daughter.
Despite his outwardly easygoing demeanor, Volcott possesses a legendary and fearsome past, having earned the nickname "the White Wolf of the supernova". This hidden side erupts when he is sufficiently provoked, such as when his meticulously groomed mustache is insulted. In these moments, he reverts to his sharp, hyper-competent combat persona, demonstrating reflexes and abilities that leave even his subordinates stunned. On one notable occasion, he deflected bullets with his bare hands and transformed his adversaries into immobilized statues referred to as "Loser Stones". This stark contrast between his usual mild-mannered self and his dormant battle-hardened identity underscores the resourcefulness and skill that defined his military career.
A significant motivation for Volcott is his impending retirement, which turns him into a pragmatic salaryman figure constantly worried about his pension and job security. He struggles daily to keep the Angel Brigade operational, often managing the financial and political fallout of their disastrous missions to recover Lost Technology. This concern for finances occasionally makes him opportunistic, as he is not above trying to secure profits or cut costs for the unit. His role in the story is primarily that of the long-suffering commander who oversees assignments and rectifies the messes created by his subordinates, all while navigating the bureaucracy of the military and the chaos of space.
