Martin Winters

Martin Winters is the protagonist of ''Mobile Suit Gundam Sun. ''

History
Martin lived a plain life on Earth. During his school-going years, he showed great promise as an engineer with his ability to learn the ins-and-outs of whatever he tinkered with simply by taking it apart. At age 20, he graduated early from engineering school and earned a job working on Mobile Suits for the ESUN. When President Stolz came to power during Martin's service, he quickly learned of the corruption spreading in the ESUN. After his second year working for the ESUN, Martin returned to civilian life. Contemplating what he's helped the ESUN accomplish, he lives for a year in the L-3 Colony cluster. It was there where he met the young delegate, Sarah Bastille.

Personality and Character
Martin is a headstrong and charismatic young man. Most of the time, he has a laid-back and jovial attitude towards things but has the common sense to know when is the appropriate time to be serious. He is seen as a bit of a joker, acting rather silly during his free time. Although the other rebel pilots view him as a commander, Martin sits down and jokes around with the pilots and crew.

During battle, Martin is a clever strategist along with the help of "General" Arlo. He is known to make juxtaposed remarks in the heat of battle (e.g. he worries about the damaged paint job on his Mobile Suits when he takes damage).

While Martin does have a silly personality, he cares for others very deeply. Often, he will be more concerned with the welfare of others when it's his own that is at risk.
