| “ | Suspicion, ignorance, prejudice, the dark emotions directed at those who can be loved. If love is the brightest light, then are these emotions created from the shadow it casts?

| ~ Rau Le Creuset |
Rau Le Creuset is the main antagonist of the Cosmic Era in the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise.
He is an officer in ZAFT serving as the commander of his own Le Creuset Team and the rival/half-brother of Mu La Flaga. In truth, he is a clone of Mu's father who seeks to wipe out all of humanity, seeing them as weak and unworthy to live.
He was voiced by Toshihiko Seki (who also voiced Aaroniero Arruruerie (while disguised as Kaien Shiba) in Bleach, Lord Embryo in Cross Ange, Conrad Leto in Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King and Muzan Kibutsuji in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) in the original Japanese version, Mark Oliver in the original Ocean Group dub, and will be voiced by Kevin T. Collins (who also voiced Griffith in Berserk) in the HD remaster dub.
Biography[]
Rau was created by Al Da Flaga to serve as a worthy successor to him, seeing his own son Mu as inferior. He was produced alongside several other clones by Al Da Flaga and Professor Ulen Hibiki.
After killing Al Da Flaga by burning down his mansion, Rau left Earth to travel to PLANT and join ZAFT. He changed his name to "Rau Le Creuset" and donned a mask over his face to hide it, as it was the face of the man he hated most. Rau's piloting skills and charisma soon led to him rising through the ranks of ZAFT, eventually being given his squadron in the Le Creuset Team. However, Rau held no real loyalty to the organization and was only with them to further his ends. He also established ties with the radical anti-Coordinator organization Blue Cosmos and its leader Muruta Azrael, occasionally leaking information to them so he could play the two sides against each other.
Rau eventually enacts the final stages of his plan: cause the GENESIS to fire on Earth and wipe out all of humanity. Piloting his Gundam, the ZGMF-X13A Providence, Rau fought Kira in a fierce battle that ended with him being impaled. Dying, Rau smiled, believing that he had won. However, as this was going on, Athrun detonated Justice's reactor within GENESIS, destroying it and ensuring that Rau's plan did not succeed.
