First Lieutenant Crank Zent is an officer in the Mobile Suit Corps of the Gjallarhorn Mars Branch and a minor antagonist in Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS, appearing in the first three episodes.

He is voiced by Yasuhiro Mamiya in the original Japanese version and by Michael McConnohie in the English dub.

History[]

Crank Zent was one of the Mobile Suit pilots who were part of the force, alongside Orlis Stenja and Ein Dalton, sent out by Major Coral Conrad to attack the Chryse Guard Security base and kill Kudelia Aina Bernstein in order to further stir up tensions between Earth and Mars.

After the Gjallarhorn forces were beaten by Mikazuki Augus in the Gundam Barbatos and Orlis was killed, Crank Zent returned to base and was reprimanded by Coral for his failure to kill Kudelia, which had cost him funding from Nobliss. To redeem his honor, Crank went out to go and try to capture Kudelia again, though chose to go by himself and not bring any men with him.

Arriving at CGS's base, Crank raised a flag to signal he wanted to duel Barbatos, stated that if he won then the CGS would have to turn Kudelia over. Mikazuki Augus went out in the Gundam Barbatos to fight Crank in his EB-06 Graze. Crank was once again beaten by Mikazuki, who asked Crank what he would get now that he had beaten him. Crank admitted he had not thought of that and requested that Mikazuki kill him in battle so he wouldn't return home and his men wouldn't be punished for his failure. Mikazuki granted Crank's request and shot him, allowing his men to avoid punishment.

EB-06 Graze[]

17 EB-06 Graze (Ares)

Gjallarhorn's main mass-produced MS for space combat. Its colors vary depending upon its capabilities and faction. The ground type is moss green, the machine belonging to the Mars Branch at Ares is purple, the machine belonging to the Arianrhod Fleet is dark green, the machines in Iok Kujan's fleet are dark khaki and yellow, the Dainsleif operation type belonging to Arianrhod is light gray, and the machine belonging to the Revolutionary Army is blue. It is designed as a versatile machine that can be used in all environments by replacing equipment, and its operational evaluation in the field is so high that the development of a successor machine is questioned as to its necessity. While it has high maneuverability regardless of pilot, some senior pilots are dissatisfied with the leveled performance, which led to the development of the higher performance Schwalbe Graze. The ground type adopts lightweight armor suitable for operation under gravity, and is equipped with two main boosters on the thigh. The space type gains high-speed movement ability by moving the booster from the waist to the back. The commander's suit has a small blade antenna added to the head for operation under Ahab Wave, and the communication range is doubled compared to general suit. The basic armament is a 120mm rifle that can be replaced with a short barrel and a 9.8m battle ax for close combat. Optional nanolaminate armor 8.8m shields, rocket-type 320mm bazooka guns that can be suspended on shoulder racks, and large boosters with attitude control grips for manipulators are available. During the McGillis Fareed uprising, Arianrhod introduced a suit in which the left arm was replaced with an electromagnetic projector for Dáinsleif and the head sensor unit was changed to a telephoto camera type.
