Willard Phantom

"I never... I never thought this day would come! Yours is a sight I never thought I'd see! You... you! A 10! 10 OUT OF 10!!"

- Willard to Annarose on her beauty.

Willard Phantom is the head mechanic of the UNO ship Equilibrium, supervising the condition of their mobile forces and the ship itself, but he fashions himself much more as a mobile suit designer. Having a knack for trying to flirt with the female crew whenever he can and rating women on a scale of 10, Willard is best buddies with his fellow mechanic Gordon Watts due to their common interest in things like women and baseball. Though he is weird at times, he earns respect for being highly precise in his duties and prioritizing efficiency and perfection, and for always being good-willed and positive. Due to Murray's background with technical work from being an engineering student, he develops a friendship with the young man when he became the Gundam Raid's pilot, teaching Murray more that is to know about the workings of a mobile suit, fashioning the lad to somewhat be his protege. Working together with Rinda Greene aboard the Equilibrium, Willard thought of her like a sister he's never had, and was deeply saddened by her death. However, he's never blamed Murray for the tragedy, and instead only remorsed that he lacked the ability to stop it from happening himself. He appears in Mobile Suit Gundam: Light of the Earth. Among his notable roles were taking part in designing the new 'Swordmaster' weapon for the Gundam "Raid" in the later half of the series and supporting the SEA Gundam pilots in their bid to defect to UNO through radio communications when the Equilibrium lacked operators.

Returning in Mobile Suit Gundam: Believe in the Stars, he is now stationed aboard the cruiser Angrias, and was aboard when the base of Keprera came under attack by Terrestrial forces before the Earth Federation could be formed. He was the one to bring the news of Durant Reeves' death to Sylvia Drei Unita.
