Axel Lestrange

Axel Lestrange is the pilot of the GNA-01X Murasame Gundam in Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Ark Saga. He is an ace pilot, and is one of four pilots in the Actaeon Squad in the ESF army. He was the second pilot to be recruited into the Actaeon Squad, only because of a reccomendation from his mentor Julia Bishop. In Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Actaeon Alliance, he is an arrogant ace-in-the-making, and is often berated by Julia and the rest of his team. He soon learns that being arrogant in the middle of a war will only get him killed. He further realises this, when his arrogance is responsible for getting two members of his team killed when fighting against Celestial Being. In Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Ark Saga, Axel returns, but with a less arrogant attitude. He, alongside Julia, Gregory, and Jackson, must fight off a 'broken branch' of Celestial Being, who calls themselves the Nox Vanguard. They eventually come to realise that they will have to work together with CB to be able to take down this new threat, and keep the Vanguard from spreading more chaos around the world...
