User blog:Red Chevalier/PE Proposal: Fonse Kagatie

Since Gihren Zabi has already been approved I figure I'll propose another Gundam villain who takes a lot of inspiration from Gihren.

What is the work?
Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, the last anime series chronologically in the Gundam U.C. timeline. The basic premise can be summed up in that everything in the U.C. timeline is f*cked. A theocratic order called the Zanscare Empire has risen to power in the outer colonies and is trying to conquer Earth. The Earth Federation has been rendered near powerless, leaving a resistance group called the League Militaire to defend the Earth against the invaders.

Who is the villain?
Zanscare's Prime Minister Fonse Kagatie, the real power behind Zanscare's throne and the one responsible for the conflict. Fonse is a ruthless tyrant who is the architect of Zanscare's cruel political system, with his ultimate goal being to create a world without free will.

What does he do?
Fonse originally formed the Zanscare from a pacifist cult led by the psychic Maria Pia Armonia, exploiting her followers' zeal to create a brutal theocratic dictatorship and declare war on the Earth Sphere. Under Fonse's reign, the Zanscare Empire committed numerous war crimes and other atrocities, including the mass execution of dissidents by guillotine.

Desiring for Zanscare's people to claim the Earth, Fonse attempts to wipe out Earth's entire population using the Angel Halo, a massive superweapon that targets the minds of intelligent lifeforms and forces them to relive all their memories before reducing them to an infantile state. The superweapon was powered by thousands of Newtypes whom Fonse had tricked into believing they were broadcasting messages of peace and good will, when in fact they would be locked in a trance and used to fuel the genocide of millions of people. Fonse originally planned to use Maria herself as the power source for the Angel Halo, but after she is killed during a mutiny in the Zanscare he replaces her with her eleven year old daughter instead.

Heinous Standard
Fonse is the main villain of the show, so he pretty much sets it. All of atrocities Zanscare commits have his backing and there's very few bad things that happen that he wasn't at least tied to.

Mitigating Factors
None at all. Fonse is a dictator who twisted a peaceful religion into an oppressive cult. His only concern is the advancement of his own power and the submission of all others beneath him.

Final Verdict
Big yes. The man was willing to mass murder people by raping their minds, that's enough to put him in the running for most vile villain in the entire Gundam franchise.
