Description
Neo Roanoke emerged as the new identity of Mu La Flaga after Earth Alliance forces rescued him, presumed dead following the Second Battle of Jachin Due. Suffering amnesia, he was brainwashed into serving Lord Djibril within LOGOS. Commanding the Earth Alliance's elite 81st Autonomous Mobile Group Phantom Pain from the stealth warship Girty Lue, he directed Extended pilots Sting Oakley, Stella Loussier, and Auel Neider. Neo displayed tactical ruthlessness, repeatedly engaging ZAFT's Minerva, including interference during the prevention of the Seven colony drop. Despite manipulative actions—erasing Stella's memories of Shinn Asuka and later deploying her in the Destroy Gundam against prior assurances—he showed underlying concern for the Extended pilots, treated otherwise as expendable equipment. His masked appearance concealed his true identity until the Battle of Berlin, where Kira Yamato disabled his Windam mobile suit, leading to unmasking and capture by the Archangel.
Physical and biometric analysis by the Archangel crew confirmed Neo Roanoke was Mu La Flaga, though he initially denied any connection. Unconscious familiarity with the ship and emotional reactions to Murrue Ramius' presence caused increasing confusion. Released by Murrue during the Second Battle of Orb and provided with a Skygrasper, he chose to return and support the Archangel against the Minerva. In this battle, he echoed Mu's signature phrase about "making the impossible possible" and experienced flashbacks to his emergency landing on the Archangel during the Battle of JOSH-A. This led him to confess his doubts to Murrue and request to remain aboard, later commissioned into Orb's military.
Commissioned into Orb's forces, he received the ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam. Arriving too late to prevent Meer Campbell's death during a mission to rescue Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Lacus Clyne, and Meyrin Hawke from an assassination attempt, he later expressed regret to Murrue. His spatial awareness abilities—previously observed in connections to Rau Le Creuset as Mu and Rey Za Burrel as Neo—remained intact, enabling effective use of the Akatsuki's remote weaponry. At the Battle of Messiah, he used the Akatsuki's reflective armor to shield the Archangel from the Minerva's Tannhäuser positron cannon, mirroring his sacrificial defense at Jachin Due. This act triggered full memory recovery as Mu La Flaga. He subsequently joined Athrun Zala in destroying the superweapon Requiem to prevent its firing on Orb. Following the conflict, he was seen with Murrue Ramius in Orb, observing the sunset.
Prior to becoming Neo, Mu La Flaga was born into an aristocratic family but rejected by his father Al Da Flaga for being "genetically impure" due to his mother's DNA. Al Da Flaga created a clone, Rau Le Creuset, who later caused Mu's parents' deaths. Mu joined the Earth Alliance military, becoming renowned as the "Hawk of Endymion" for destroying five GINN mobile suits with his Moebius Zero at the Battle of Endymion Crater—a feat attributed to extraordinary spatial awareness. This ability granted unmatched proficiency piloting wire-guided systems like the Moebius Zero and Exus. During the First Alliance-PLANT War, he served aboard the Archangel, developing a romantic relationship with Murrue Ramius and mentoring Kira Yamato. His extrasensory link to Rau Le Creuset was explained upon learning Rau was his genetic clone. He was believed killed shielding the Archangel in the Strike Gundam during the Second Battle of Jachin Due, though his survival was later confirmed through retconned footage in special editions.
