Serpent Tail is an independent mercenary group introduced in the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray.

Overview[]

A small mercenary team led by Gai Murakumo. The group's emblem is based on the motif of a snake with a fanged head and a green body curved like lightning. Unlike ordinary mercenaries, who are willing to do dirty work for a reward, Gai uses moral and political perspectives as a criterion in deciding whether to accept a request, so he does not accept requests that involve intentional "killing" (more than necessary or meaningless killing), "suppression," or other destructive activities.

History[]

Members[]

Gai Murakumo[]

Gai is a Combat Coordinator and leader of the mercenary group Serpent Tail. Before coming to Serpent Tail, he escaped from the Earth Alliance, breaking free of his mental conditioning. Although he is a skilled pilot and has no attachment to the machine he uses, he eventually comes to favor the MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame as his personal mobile suit, modifying and upgrading it constantly to better suit his needs.

Elijah Kiel[]

Elijah is a Coordinator and Gai's wingman, he pilots a custom ZGMF-1017 GINN and eventually a ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom, each with a blade-like head crest and a "2" incorporated on its Serpent Tail emblem. Elijah's GINN has great sentimental value to him, so he continues to pilot the GINN even when it becomes greatly outdated: in fact, he switches to his new ZAKU only because his GINN was badly damaged. The LV-ZGMF-X23S Vent Saviour Gundam is his latest MS.

For a period of time, he was with ZAFT: although he is a Coordinator, he does not possess the superior physiology of Coordinator, so his MS maneuvering skills are poor. Through the experiences he gained on the battlefield as a mercenary, however, he polished his maneuvering skills, and has improved his combat skills substantially.

Kazahana Azure[]

This 6 years old girl is the highly intelligent daughter of Loretta Azure. Because of her background, she possesses adult-like judgement and mental toughness, serving as a liaison to Serpent Tail's clients.

Loretta Azure[]

Explosives Expert and Tactician, Loretta is the only woman member of Serpent Tail. She is very popular among the mercenaries and is the mother to Kazahana Azure. She is a Natural and a former member of the Earth Alliance.

Reed Weller[]

The captain of Serpent Tail's Laurasia-class frigate, Reed is a Natural and former Earth Alliance intelligence operative. He still retains contact with the EA and is also a known alcoholic.
