Born on November 4, U.C. 0063, in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to Tem Ray and Kamaria Ray, Amuro Ray's childhood shifted when his father, the lead Project V engineer, relocated the family to Side 7 for mobile suit development. Separated from his mother, this isolation nurtured his introverted personality and technical skills, driving him to build the robot Haro and excel in mechanics. The Zeon assault on Side 7 on September 18, U.C. 0079, forced Amuro to impulsively pilot the prototype RX-78-2 Gundam using its manual. He destroyed two Zakus but inadvertently caused his father's expulsion into space. Assigned as the Gundam's primary pilot aboard the White Base by Ensign Bright Noa, a reluctant and overwhelmed Amuro faced reprimands for refusing missions. Bright slapped him into compliance during an attack by Garma Zabi's forces, marking Amuro's transition into a soldier. Amuro's combat prowess grew swiftly, earning him the "White Devil" moniker after destroying 14 Rick Doms at Solomon. His latent Newtype abilities—psychic sensitivities—emerged in battle, enhancing his spatial awareness and reflexes. These powers forged a telepathic bond with Zeon Newtype Lalah Sune. Their connection complicated his rivalry with Char Aznable, culminating in Amuro accidentally killing Lalah during a duel with Char. This tragedy inflicted lasting guilt, worsening his mental strain and distancing him from White Base crewmates like Fraw Bow. Following the One Year War, Amuro lived under Federation house arrest in Cheyenne, monitored due to government mistrust of Newtypes. He suffered chronic PTSD, avoiding space from fear of encountering Lalah's spirit. The Gryps Conflict saw Fraw Bow reignite his resolve, helping him escape to join Karaba, the AEUG's Earth branch. He spearheaded critical missions, including assaults on Titan bases and Dakar's Congress Building, demonstrating strategic pragmatism and leadership growth. By U.C. 0093, Amuro commanded Londo Bell's mobile suit squadrons under Bright Noa. Piloting the RGZ-91 Re-GZ, he damaged Gyunei Guss' superior Jagd Doga through tactical ingenuity. Anaheim Electronics later supplied the RX-93 ν Gundam, which Amuro co-designed to amplify his Newtype capabilities. During Char's asteroid-drop operation, he dueled Char in the Sazabi at Axis. After disabling Char's mobile suit and capturing his escape pod, Amuro redirected efforts to halt the asteroid. His ν Gundam's psychoframe resonated with Axis, catalyzing a psychowave that repelled the threat. Both Amuro and Char vanished, listed MIA in official records. In alternate timelines like *Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX*, Amuro's spirit manifested within the gMS-Ω GQuuuuuuX, aiding Amate Yuzuriha against Shūji Itō. He expressed regret over Lalah's death and assured Amate of reuniting with allies. Another divergence depicted Char stealing the RX-78-2 Gundam, leading to Zeon's victory; this timeline's Amuro remained unseen, referenced only as the "White Devil". Amuro maintained his mechanical expertise throughout his life; beyond Haro and the ν Gundam, he modified suits like the Rick Dijeh and theorized mobile suit combat algorithms. Creator Yoshiyuki Tomino noted him as the franchise's most skilled pilot and "third strongest Newtype".
