Description
Herbert Von Reinhard is a veteran mobile suit pilot who appears in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM. He is a Coordinator, a genetically enhanced human, and originally served as a soldier in the ZAFT army before the events of the film.
In terms of personality, Herbert is described as having a stern or tough-looking face, which contrasts with his honest and straightforward nature. He is a pragmatic individual, and unlike some of his comrades who are fervent supporters of Lacus Clyne, he is noted for having a more mercenary-like attitude, with his loyalty tied to his role as a soldier rather than personal devotion to a particular leader. A unique physical trait is that he is frequently seen carrying a bolt in his mouth; according to background information, this habit originated from a time when a doctor advised him to keep it in his mouth to help with an iron deficiency caused by blood loss from an injury. He is recognizable by his blue hair, glasses, and a scar above his right eyebrow.
Herbert is a long-standing member of a trio of pilots that includes his leader, Hilda Haken, and his comrade, Mars Simeon. The three have fought together as a team since the Second Alliance-PLANT War, piloting DOM Trooper mobile suits and later participating in the defense of the ship Eternal during the Battle of Messiah. Following the war, the trio transfer their skills to Compass, a new global peacekeeping organization led by Lacus Clyne. Within the team structure, Herbert is typically assigned to handle reconnaissance and plan the details of their operations.
Within the story of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, Herbert and his team serve as experienced pilots for Compass. He participates in a mission known as the Eldore expedition, a joint operation with the Eurasian Federation and the Kingdom of Foundation intended to eliminate the remnants of the Blue Cosmos terrorist group. During this mission, the situation becomes complicated when the Kingdom of Foundation's elite Black Knight Squad betrays the allied forces. In the ensuing battle, Herbert and Mars are deceived by a decoy afterimage created by one of the Black Knights. This tactical error proves fatal, as both are swiftly shot down and killed by enemy pilots Liu Shenqiang and Daniel Harper.
Herbert is a seasoned mobile suit pilot with extensive combat experience. His notable abilities include piloting the DOM Trooper and, later, other mobile suits as a member of Compass. Alongside his teammates, he is proficient in coordinated attack patterns, including a famous jet stream attack that copies a tactic originally used by the Black Tri-Stars. Even after his death, his character represents the archetype of the battle-hardened veteran who relies on experience and teamwork, yet is ultimately outmaneuvered by technologically superior and deceptive opponents.
