This was my favorite bio to write. Subsequently, it has the least amount of hard facts and the most amount of speculation and character-bashing. (probably twice as much as Wufei's.)

"Even picking your nose is sexy when you're a supermodel!"

Name: Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft/Lightning Count/Lightning Baron/Ex underwear model/Legolas incarnate/ pretty boy teen idol (whew. Or any combination thereof!)

Sex: Male. 

Age: 19

Weight: A hell of a lot more than any of the pilots. He could sit on them and they would die. 

Height: A hell of a lot taller than any of the pilots. Like 5'11", I would bet. 

Gundam: Tallgeese. He's obsessed with it.

Distinguishable features: He's the only man in the series (besides the possible exception of Duo) who truly and honestly resembles a girl with broad shoulders and no boobs or hips. In case you haven't already figured it out, I've dubbed him "underwear model pretty boy", and mock him almost as much as I bash Wufei. Which is saying a lot. Literally, though, he has long, LONG white-blond hair, blue eyes and a raspy, manly voice (to compensate for his effeminate looks.) For further information, see Char. (Original Gundam-watchers will KNOW.)

Personality: He's a angsty teenage soul. What can I say? He's devoted to Treize (well, until he ditches him) and basically just sits around and thinks about Tallgeese. He loves to beat up on Heero, and who wouldn't? Really though, he's not really all that smart or talented, and he's kind of a whiner and lets random characters die for him. He appreciates Noin, that obsessed female, and tolerates her trailing him most of the time. *raspy voice* "Arr, I'm Zechs, I like to wear this little helmet thingie because no one will now who I am. Rarr, I'm not Milliardo, I'm Zechs, and I'm having an identity crisis and am transforming into a completely different person whose name vaguely sounds like 'sex.'" And they talk about Une and her issues.

Past: Dude, he's Relena's big brother. But since he's killed too many people, he can't inherit the PACIFIST Sanc Kingdom. Sorry buddy, better luck next time. Your sister gets it. Your parents loved her best, anyway. 

Nationality: Same as Relena.

Place of residence: Earth?

Ahhh, Milliardo. There's definitely quite a lot to say about him, but what hasn't already been said? He's a right-hand man at OZ, and hangs out with Treize a lot. He graduated Valedictorian from Lake Victoria Academy (though he should have been salu-frickin-tatorian, but Noin, the REAL Valedictorian, supposedly stepped aside and let her Knight In The Shiny (You mean, "Freaky-Deaky"?)  Helmet take the top honor. Why? Apparently, she was trying to prove her undying love. OK, Noin, we'll all pause so you can kick your own ass.

Now that my extreme displeasure of Noin doing everything short of STALKING Zechs has been displayed---I think I'll move on to bigger things. Like Zech's future modeling/teen idol career. Well, maybe we'll get to that later. Basically, as Zechs, he hides his identity as Milliardo because of all the people he's killed and the way he's supported war (which directly conflicts with his heritage, make note of that.). He realizes that as Zechs he can kill stuff and get off virtually scot-free! No one knows who in the nine hells he is, besides the Underwear Model Pretty Boy With the Helmet on His Head. Then, when he wants to be all preachy and or/converse with the picture of his Peacecraft parents, he takes it off ("Yeah! TAKE IT OFF!!" "Noin, we only meant his helmet." "...oh, yeah. Huh.") and becomes the Underwear Model Pretty Boy Without the Helmet on His Head. (Point: there's little difference between either aforementioned Underwear Models.) But one kills stuff, and one doesn't.

But wait! Then he takes off the helmet, beats Heero senseless with it (I mean that metaphorically. And look, I'm avoiding making a vague and kind of pointless (heh heh heh, "point"!) entendre on the word "beats"! ...but wait, I guess it doesn't count if you pointed out (heh heh heh, "point"!) that you were going to, anyway. Huh.), and joins up with Quinze, that wrinkled shell of a man, to nance around with White Fang, because, you know, that's fun too. Letting Dorothy do all the work while he hangs out and makes people address him as Mr. Milliardo is ALWAYS cool. 

He also has a near-mental shut down when he realizes that Heero (aka Little Sis's Boy Toy) is a kid. And not a Underwear Model Pretty Boy like himself. But he says, "You grow a few more inches, and you'll be in the business. You're thin enough, but you're just...not quite there.. I'm thinking, maybe another foot? That wouldn't hurt ya, to grow a foot, would it? You've got potential, though, kid...just keep drinking milk. And don't let go of the aspiration. Or something. NEXT!" In his humiliation at being rejected by yet another modeling agency, Heero self-destructs his Gundam. Zechs feels vaguely bad about this, but decides not to let it bug him; he'd heard that pilot 03 was somewhat taller than pilot 01 and had gravitationally impossible hair, to boot! His frustration is uncontained when he realizes "somewhat taller" means 3 inches in Gundam Pilot-speak. He berates Noin for this, who grovels, of course...though it really isn't her fault. She just takes care of finances, after all. Then he sees Pilot 02. That braid! Those eyes! So he invests in a stilt company and makes Duo a star! Of course, there are a few near-fatalities, as the cat-walk isn't exactly stilt-friendly...What was I talking about again? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about, or did I lose you guys at Catherine's bio? Don't worry, I can narrow down the entire bio to a few lines:

RECAP:

Eh, so I don't know much about Zechs, despite him being a major (pain in the ass) character, after all. He is though, a very complex character, and goes through several changes during the series. 

But then, most of the characters in the show have Major Issues, and Zechs is no exception to the rule.  

Zechsy Quotes:  

"This mobile suit clashes with my complexion, and the helmet makes my hair all matted. I think I feel a pout coming on." *

"Treize used all my Special Lilac bath suds. I'm a prince, I don't deserve this. I feel another pout coming on..."** 

"My fan girls are getting older and more masculine by the minute."***

"You're just jealous you don't have my complexion, you grisly hag!"****

*Note: He did not actually say that. But you know he's thinking it. Constantly.

**Note: What, you thought Treize used his OWN bath bubbles? Nooo. Zechs is practically the OZ Bath n' Body Works supplier.

***Note: Yes, he did say that. Noin, however, didn't get too offended. Her response was somewhere along the oblivious lines of, "Must kill...fan girls...", entirely missing the point that Zechs was talking about her. When he tried to point out that he'd just insulted her femininity, she shrugged and responded, "You have more than enough femininity for the both of us." Needless to say, Zechs stalked off again for another pout, whining about the cost of being beautiful.

****Note: This retaliation of Wit occurred when Lady Une informed Zechs that she was going to throw him out of a aircraft and shoot at his flailing body if he didn't stop using the cockpits of the MS's for his personal powder rooms. She also requested that he peel off the stick on stars that he'd placed strategically on the doors of each mobile suit/powder room. Needless to say, this all warranted a series of pouts.
