Eugene Sevenstark (ユージン・セブンスターク Yūjin Sebunsutāku?) is a character that appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS television series.
Personality & Character[]
Eugene is courageous, and physically and intellectually gifted. However, his impulsiveness renders him somewhat unlikable.[1] His pragmatic viewpoint towards protecting Tekkadan makes him willing to make moral compromises that his comrades may disagree with. Despite this, he is trustworthy and would go to any lengths to protect his friends and teammates.
Skills & Abilities[]
Eugene is one of the main Mobile Worker pilots for the Chryse Guard Security's Third Group along with Mikazuki Augus, Norba Shino and Akihiro Altland. He also possesses a Alaya-Vijnana System implanted in his body.
Eugene is also a good Armored Assault Ship pilot via the use of the Alaya-Vijnana System. Orga even places his trust on Eugene to command the ship in dangerous and dire situations. His most noticeable moment is when he commanded the NOA-0093 Isaribi and former Brewers' Armored Ship in evading the attacks from Gjallarhorn's Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet, a feat that no one ever accomplished before by controlling the two ships using the Alaya-Vijnana System.
Although he excels in battlefield operations, Eugene is capable of executive office work, as shown when he, Orga, Merribit, Azee, and Takaki review the Earth Branch accounts after the Arbrau-SAU border war.
Eugene would pilot the STH-16/tc2 Orga's Shiden when Gjallarhorn attacked the Mars HQ. Despite being previously beaten in training by Akihiro and Mikazuki, he had no problem providing support fire during the battle.
History[]
Like Mikazuki and Orga, he is a boy soldier who belongs to the CGS participation program. When he was a participant in the program, he often rebelled against Orga, but after Orga established the Tekkadan and took on the task of transporting Kudelia, he showed a willingness to take on dangerous missions on his own, and Orga entrusted him with the command of Isaribi and steering the ship using the Alaya-Vijnana System.
After the Battle of Edmonton, he assumed the position of Deputy Leader. He is mainly in command of the group's mothership and often takes command when Orga isn't around. Eugene led the team that was sent to Earth to investigate what was happening with the Earth branch. When the ship was stopped before it could enter Earth, Eugene gave the command to go to Earth anyway. He and Akihiro went straight for Radice while Mikazuki and other went to help the younger fighters. He forced Galan Mossa's location from him, then interrogated him about his betrayal. He acceded to Takaki's request to let him decide Radice's fight.
He continued his duties up until the battle against the Arianrhod Fleet, using the Hotarubi to shield the Isaribi. When Shino died and Orga commanded the crew to recover his body, Eugen stopped him and told him they would get caught up in the explosion. After Orga's death, he took over as the unofficial leader and gave orders to the crew to evacuate. He was worried when he heard that some members wanted revenge and was relived when Mikazuki gave his speech telling Tekkadan to follow Orga's wishes and continue to live.
When the Gjallarhorn surrounded the Tekkadan's Martian headquarters, he personally intercepted and provided logistical support in Orga's Shiden. At the end of the battle, when he learned that the members of the group had escaped from the basement to Chryse, he evacuated, leaving the rest to Mikazuki and Akihiro.
Years after Tekkadan's disbandment, Eugene became a bodyguard as well as Kudelia's personal assistant.
Relationships[]
Orga Itsuka[]
Shino insults Orga and undermines his authority, but he actually respects Orga and mimics him, much to Tekkadan's amusement. Orga trusts his abilities and makes him his deputy. While Orga can be quite hot headed, Eugene is relatively more rational and more capable of making colder decisions, such as when he told Orga off for wanting to retrieve Shino's body in spite of the danger. He is upset when Orga dies.
Norba Shino[]
Shino is known to tease and fight with Eugene to great extents, sometimes physically, and in return, Eugene shows little tolerance. However, there are many instances where they are shown to get along greatly and care for one another. This is evident when they spend a night partying together, every time Shino slings his arm around Eugene's shoulders, and when Shino cheers up a self deprecating Eugene in the hangers. By P.D 32, their relationship continues to grow closer, showing that alongside their friendship, they also work together wonderfully as teammates and on the battlefield.
Takaki Uno[]
When Eugene, Takaki, Lasker Alesi and Kudelia visited the grave of Makanai, Takaki still called Eugene "Deputy Boss" out of habit despite Eugene now working under Kudelia.[2]
