MURUTA AZRAEL SPOILER!

Azrael is a powerful industrialist, leading figure in Blue Cosmos and the man who gives the Earth Alliance's anti-Coordinator hatred a very expensive command chair. He treats Coordinators as an existential contamination rather than another population caught in a political conflict, and his influence helps push the Alliance toward nuclear attacks on the PLANTs. Azrael later operates from the Dominion, where Natarle Badgiruel discovers exactly what it means to have a civilian extremist overriding military judgment in real time. He is impatient, vindictive and perfectly willing to sacrifice allied soldiers if the result hurts ZAFT more. Gundam SEED pairs Azrael with Patrick Zala deliberately. Both men claim to be defending their own people while driving the war toward a point where there may be nobody left to defend.
