History[]
Tad Elsman was born in the PLANT Colony Februarius. By his adulthood, he had become a specialist in basic medicine, clinical medicine, biochemistry, molecular biology, and applied bioengineering, and was therefore a person who played a fundamental role in the race of the Coordinators. On March 29, 54, Tad became a father, naming his son Dearka Elsman. By C.E. 70, Tad had become a member of the PLANT Supreme Council.
After the outbreak of the First Alliance-PLANT War, Dearka had enlistment in ZAFT, much to Tad's opposition on the grounds that he believed Dearka was "unsuitable" rather than out of parental concern. Tad was initially a member of the Zala-leaning Radical Faction of the council and was on the extreme right wing of Anti-Natural sentiments.[1] However, after his son was MIA (missing in action), he changed his position to a moderate-leaning neutral faction. This was in contrast to his colleague Yuri Amalfi, who changed his position from moderate to radical after the death of his son Nicol Amalfi.[2]
Following the conclusion of the First Alliance-PLANT War, Tad and other members of the Radical Faction and Zala supporters were arrested. His postwar movements are unknown. By the time of the Second Alliance-PLANT War, Tad has been replaced as representative of the city of Februarius.
