A prominent character of Gundam's Universal Century. The main antagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam and the eponymous Char's Counterattack, a supporting character in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and eternal rival and foe of Amuro Ray. Also appears in, among other works, Gundam GQuuuuuuX.

He has several names, secret identities, and clones throughout the Gundam series. He is blonde-haired, and is usually depicted with some sort of eyewear or headwear (usually sunglasses or his trademark helmet), concealing his eyes.

Char is an ace pilot, known during the The One Year War as The Red Comet by the Earth Federation Space Forces, fighting for Zeon. At that time, he piloted the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type, Z'Gok, Gelgoog, and MSN-02 Zeong.

Some time after The One Year War Char joins the AEUG/Karaba alliance (under the alias Quattro Bajeena) during The Gryps War, later becoming its leader after the death of Blex Forer, piloting the Rick Dias, Gundam Mk II, Zero Shiki, and MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. He would be reported M.I.A. at the end of The Battle of Gryps.

Years after the Gryps conflict, Char becomes the supreme leader of Neo Zeon, and began his counterattack, piloting Dijeh Char Custom, Dijeh Traversia, Geara Doga Psycommu Test Type and the Prototype Sazabi/MSN-04 Sazabi/MSN-04II Nightingale.

His birth name is Casval Rem Deikun and he has blue eyes. He stole the identity of the real Char Aznable (who is mostly identical to him except his brown eyes) to avoid being killed by Kycilia Zabi as a part of her plan to purge the Deikun family, and as such he chose to conceal his eyes to hide his real identity. He is the actual brother of Sayla Mass/Artesia Som Deikun and the true heir to Zeon.

Char's name was inspired by the real life Franco-Armenian singer and actor Charles Aznavour.

He is voiced by Ikeda Shuuichi.
