Mullin Shetland is a supporting character in the anime Last Exile. He is a nineteen-year-old rifleman who initially serves on the battleship Claimh Solais, the flagship of the Anatoray fleet, and has fought in nineteen battles. After surviving several bloody engagements against Disith invaders, he decides to leave the front line and eventually ends up joining the crew of the Silvana alongside Claus Valca and Lavie Head. He is described as having a soft spot for pretty girls, but he is not a player. He is honest to the point of bluntness, often blurting out his feelings without filter. This directness is evident in his brief infatuation with Tatiana Wisla, the leader of the Silvana's vanship corps, a crush he quickly abandons after realizing its futility. Later in the story, he leaves the Silvana to train again as a rifleman in a secret joint operation between Anatoray and Disith forces, aimed at reclaiming the battleship's Claudia engines and freeing the world from the Guild's control. During this operation, he meets Dunya Scheer, a soldier from the Disith fleet. They fall in love, and he asks her to board the same ship together, which she accepts. The operation results in Mullin successfully retrieving the Claudia unit, but he is gravely wounded in the process and initially believed dead. The epilogue reveals that he survived and went on to live with Dunya on a farm alongside her younger siblings, finding a peaceful life after the war. Mullin's motivations evolve from a desire to escape the horrors of combat to a renewed sense of purpose in fighting against the Guild, and his key relationships underscore the theme of reconciliation between the warring nations. His notable abilities include his skill as a rifleman and his resilience, both in battle and in his personal journey.
