Description
Treize Khushrenada, a high-ranking military officer and influential political figure in the United Earth Sphere Alliance and its elite unit OZ, is the son of Angelina Khushrenada and half-brother of Vingt Khushrenada. His military career commenced at age twelve as an OZ cadet, where exceptional leadership and tactical prowess propelled his swift ascent.
He champions war as an essential catalyst for human evolution, convinced honorable conflict unveils humanity's nobility and drives progress through sacrifice. Despite genuine sorrow for fallen soldiers, he meticulously memorizes every casualty under his command. His demeanor merges aristocratic elegance with ruthless pragmatism—he enforces codes of knightly single combat while engineering assassinations and political schemes.
As OZ's leader under the aristocratic Romefeller Foundation, he clashes with Duke Dermail over deploying unmanned Mobile Dolls, arguing war loses meaning without human combatants. This defiance triggers his temporary house arrest in Luxembourg, where he reflects on war's tragedies and acknowledges love for his subordinate Lady Une, who later rescues him in battle.
Treize orchestrates pivotal conflicts between Earth and space colonies: leaking false intelligence to manipulate Gundam pilots into assassinating Alliance pacifists like Field Marshal Noventa, coercing General Septum to blame colonies before eliminating him, and leveraging chaos from an Alliance coup to seize power. After Duke Dermail's death by colonial rebels White Fang, Treize emerges from exile to command Romefeller and Earth's forces against White Fang leader Zechs Merquise.
A polymath, he designs mobile suits Epyon and Tallgeese III, pilots the OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II, and masters tactics, hand-to-hand combat, fencing, and mobile suit piloting—rivaling Gundam pilots. During house arrest, he gifts Epyon to Heero Yuy, believing its predictive system will reveal conflict's role in human advancement.
In the war's climax, Treize leads Earth's forces against White Fang at Libra. Challenging Zechs to a duel, he is nearly destroyed by Libra's cannon fire until Lady Une intervenes. He then duels Chang Wufei, who demands accountability for wartime deaths. Treize confirms memorizing all 99,822 prior casualties under his command, expressing regret while defending their necessity. His final charge against Wufei destroys the Tallgeese II, ending his life as the war's 100,010th casualty. His gravestone reads: "A cornerstone for peace, he died as he believed."
Treize maintains intricate bonds: considering Zechs his closest friend despite their opposition and shielding Zechs' sister Relena Peacecraft; fueling Lady Une's fanatical loyalty that fractures her psyche; and profoundly influencing Wufei's bushido philosophy and Heero's embrace of conflict-driven evolution. He voices unexpected environmental concern, declaring Earth too confined for thoughtless pollution.
His legacy endures through the "Treize Faction"—loyalists sparking global rebellions in his name—and his daughter Mariemaia Khushrenada, a figurehead in subsequent conflicts.
