Description
Duker Iq serves as an officer in the Zanscare Empire's military. He possesses a consuming obsession with motorcycles, profoundly shaping his combat tactics and strategic choices. This passion drives his early actions, deploying "Kou" and "Ohtu" Battle Bikes to ambush League Militaire forces, crippling their transport plane during an escape attempt but failing to stop their departure. Fueled by his enthusiasm for motorcycle warfare, he successfully proposes and establishes the specialized Motorad Squadron. This unique unit revolves entirely around motorcycle-inspired technology, featuring warships like the Adrastea and Lysithea, motorcycle mecha including Battle Bikes and the ZMT-A03G Galicson, and the Twinrad—a massive wheel weapon operable by mobile suits.
His loyalty to the Zanscare Empire is clear, though often secondary to his zeal for motorcycle combat. Reporting directly to Queen Maria Pure Armonia, he summarizes clashes between BESPA and the League Militaire. During these briefings, he presents his design for the Adrastea-class cruiser, championing its potential to crush rebellion by instilling terror through its destructive power; specifically, its enormous wheels are engineered to roll over and pulverize urban centers. Despite repeated operational setbacks, he retains the Queen's confidence and advances to command the Lysithea-class cruiser.
A significant shift occurs during Operation Giant Roller, where he develops romantic feelings for his subordinate, Renda De Paloma. This emotional bond begins to temper his singular focus on motorcycles, signaling a subtle change in his priorities. Their relationship is brief. During a ceasefire between the Zanscare Empire and Earth Federation, Duker orders an attack on the League Militaire's ship, the White Arc. In retaliation, Odelo Henrik destroys the bridge of Duker's ship, killing both Duker and Renda instantly.
Following their deaths, Newtypes within the League Militaire perceive an apparition of Duker and Renda serenely riding a motorcycle through the clouds. Their spirits ultimately arrive at a secluded forest cabin, symbolizing the peaceful life they might have shared beyond the war.
In non-canonical appearances such as *Super Robot Wars D*, Duker's squadron upgrades to transformable bike units called Garlands, appropriated from the *Megazone 23* universe.
