Tochika Mozume

Cor

Overview:
The Deputy Chief of Intelligence in charge of Rostock's operations and the antagonist of the game, apparently also being one of the people involved in the introduction of Kildren. He takes full command after Yamazaki's death, promoting Lynx to captain. Mozume acts like he cares about the well-being of his pilots, but in truth, he is a manipulative opportunist who seeks to gain power for himself. Mozume is the one who manipulates Maumi Orishina to defect, though not explaining why. He is also the one who makes the Kildren, aside from Hiroto and Niva, defect against Rostock, stealing Wolfram, a gigantic battleship, for Lautern. As you battle the Wolfram, Mozume reveals his true nature, declaring that he will remake a new world when he gains the power he needs. It was suggested Mozume would eventually turn on Lautern when he got what he wanted from them. In the end, Mozume's plans are brought to an end by Cheetah when the ace pilot destroys Wolfram's chimneys, causing an internal fire that damages it from inside, as well as its powerful cannons. As the Wolfram is falling, Mozume's madness makes his own men abandon him to die. Mozume states that Cheetah will one day succumb to old age and that his battles will be for naught. Before the Wolfram crashes and kills its mad creator, Mozume curses the world, most likely Cheetah most of all.

Trivia

 * Mozume is very similar to Palpatine from Star Wars, in that he is a scheming, manipulative person who wants ultimate power.
 * He also follows another super-villain archetype by offering the hero, Cheetah, to join him, stating that "(We can) build a new world together!!!"
 * During the Mission 6 briefing he says "Although we succeeded in the last mission, we sustained a devastating, unforeseen loss", commenting on Yamasaki's death, which is ironic since all the human pilots except Cheetah eventually died under his command, and were replaced with his genetically engineered Kildren.
