MU LA FLAGA SPOILER!
ML
Mu is the Earth Alliance ace known as the Hawk of Endymion and the experienced pilot the Archangel desperately needs after Heliopolis falls. He starts in the Moebius Zero, later flies a Skygrasper and eventually takes over the Strike after Kira moves to the Freedom. Mu is relaxed, confident and much better at talking to frightened teenagers than most of the officers around them, which makes him one of the ship's stabilizing adults. He also shares a strange instinctive awareness with Rau Le Creuset that gradually turns out to have a family connection. Rau was cloned from Mu's father, Al Da Flaga. Mu's relationship with Murrue grows quietly through the war, and his apparent sacrifice protecting the Archangel gives his favorite line about making the impossible possible a considerably less playful meaning.

With the Dominion preparing to fire its Lohengrin positron cannon into the Archangel's bridge, Mu puts the Strike directly in the shot's path instead. The original broadcast leaves his fate genuinely ambiguous. THE BREAKDOWN: this is Mu's entire arc paying off in one motion, a Natural who spent the whole war proving he belonged in a cockpit built for Coordinators, using that same cockpit to buy his crew one more minute.
