Personality:

Quatre's personality changes and grows throughout the series. At the start of Episode Zero, we see a boy who feels like a pawn who's lower than dirt, an utterly useless tool who's only good for one purpose: to be a loyal heir who would one day inherit the family business. He is extremely resentful of his father and is seen by his chaperons as nothing more than a rich brat. Despite this, Iria mentions that Quatre is a gentle child, suggesting that, perhaps, the boy we see is not the real Quatre but a Quatre who is emotionally wasting away.

We begin to see what he's truly capable of when Rashid knocks some sense in him. He's smart, strong, and an excellent strategist, and he wants nothing more than to be useful and find his place in the world. When he parts with the Maganacs for the first time, he tells them that he will come find them and that he won't go to Earth to run away but to find himself.

When the series begins, two years have passed, and we see a much kinder Quatre. He's gentle, selfless, trusting, and seemingly eager to make friends. Rashid warns him that, perhaps, he may be a bit too trusting, but as mentioned in the history section, he possesses some type of extrasensory ability that allows him to read people a bit easier than the average person. He proves to have good judgment when choosing whom he allies himself with.

We're treated to a few other aspects of his personality when he meets with his father on the resource colony. Obviously, they still don't see eye to eye, and Quatre doesn't hold back when they disagree on his role in Operation Meteor. It could be said that he's a bit of a rebel, one who's determined and fights for what he believes in.

Because of his gentle nature, the death of his father hit him hard, and with the combined stresses of being betrayed by the colonies and becoming separated from his friends, he snapped. Wanting revenge, he built Wing Zero, his outrage and injustice becoming the perfect tools for the mind-altering effects of the ZERO System. When Trowa finally snaps him out of it, he returns to his kind self, but we later learn that he'd wanted to rebel against it. He hated his kindness, which only served as more fuel for his actions while under the influence of ZERO.

By the time the series ends, he's a much more well-adjusted person. He's found his place as the strategic leader among the Gundam pilots, finally confident in the usefulness of his abilities.

Other: Quatre is an accomplished musician! He plays the violin and piano (and possibly more) and uses music as a means of relaxing.

First Person (entry type):

[Intercepted Transmission]

[The first several seconds of video are filled with snow and broken audio, until the face of a young, blond boy finally flickers into view. He's facing forward and speaking to the camera, and it appears he's been doing so for a while, as the transmission begins mid-sentence]

--been a while since we've spoken, but there's something I'd like to discuss with the four of you when you have time. The anniversary of the Eve Wars is approaching, and as you're probably already aware of, there have been some rising concerns and debates over the Gundams and their continued presence in the ESUN.

Please contact me when you can. I think the issue's worth discussing, and I'd like to get your thoughts on the matter, as well as share a few of my own ideas.

I hope to hear from you soon. Take care,

Quatre out!

[With a smile and a nod from the boy, the screen goes blank, and the video ends.]

Third Person:

Where is the soldier's place in a world of peace?

Quatre wondered this as he stared out of the window from what once was his father's office (his office now, he reminded himself) on the 24th floor of Winner Corporation. It was a thought that had been entering his mind more often as the days went by, even moreso as he'd often find himself staring beyond the stacks of paper before him and thinking that the office was much too large, that the pen in his hand was much too small. Nothing like being within Sandrock's cockpit, controls at hand.

He pressed his forehead against the window and sighed, watching the glass fog.

Never in a million years would he wish for anything other than peace. It was what they'd fought for, what countless others had died for, and what the Earth Sphere United Nation was desperately striving for. It was what he wanted. But a part of him--a selfish, desperate voice that he wished he could silence--craved the familiarity of the war, if only because he'd found his place within it. After two years of searching for his niche, searching for something he could be proud of, he'd finally found it among four other Gundam pilots, within a war where they'd learned to rely on each other, where he'd learned to be a leader. Now that the war was over, that familiarity, that confidence and self-assurance, was waffling a bit more each day.

He was starting from scratch, and it frightened him.
