Name: Tabetau Marito
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Nice, France, Earth
Faction: AEUG
Rank: Lieutenant
Appearance:
Standing at a respectable 6'5" Marito is a well built but somewhat ill maintained individual, his hair and clothes are almost always a mess, he's never clean shaven and often reeks of alcohol when off duty. He prefers to stay in his casual uniform, citing that he doesn't need to worry about any fashion if he always wears the same thing.
Personality: Embittered by a life that's seen his values betrayed and his friends die, Marito is a sombre individual with a sense of humour that can only be described as bleak. He uses alcoholism as a crutch to deal with the grief, guilt and self loathing he has built up over the years, and his belief in the ideals he fights for is on its last legs as increasingly he considers giving in.
Despite his outlook and flaws, he takes great care in instructing the younger pilots he finds himself alongside, hoping that he can find a measure of peace when they come back alive from whatever hell they get sent into - and that's exactly what he sees the growing conflict as - a hell for all, civilian and military.
History: Born to a family of third generation Japanese immigrants in France, Marito's early life was unremarkable aside from the boy's intense desire to do good, a desire that often saw him in trouble with authorities as he picked fights with other kids and on occasion several adults. It wasn't until he hit his mid teens that he hit upon what he wanted to do: fight for his home's peace. To that end, he worked hard and eventually joined the military. Over a fairly industrious but varied career he eventually became a fighter pilot with a good enough rank to earn him a nice paycheck - though he often found himself demoted due to back alley scuffles caused by excessive drinking with his buddies.
He was 40 and looking to retire to a nice plot of land outside of Nice when the war with Zeon began, and he earned several honours for valorous conduct throughout the conflict once he made the switch to the newly created Federation Mobile Suits, but the war left a mark on him; he had found that ideals were sometimes thrown out the window by the higher ups in pursuit of military goals, and slowly he began to become disillusioned with the system. Though it took him several years, he eventually worked up the courage to turn in his resignation - just as the Side 1 protests were beginning in earnest. With his resignation denied in the face of the crises, he was deployed as a picket line around the colony as the Titans gassed it.
Marito was sickened by what he saw.
Less than a year later, while on a routine patrol, Marito detonated several explosive charges he had planted on the suits of the rest of his squadron, and broadcasted to the nearby AEUG unit that he was ready to be picked up - he was defecting. Quickly getting back out into the field once integrated into the AEUG military structure, Marito found himself in increasingly dire battles, sometimes escaping as the only survivor of his unit - something that earned him suspicion from his new higher ups. At least, that's what the official story is. While it's true that he bombed his previous squadron and defected, he did so under orders - he was to act as an intelligence officer, passing along information from Federation officials sympathetic to the AEUG cause, to the AEUG command structure.
