Ein Dalton
Gjallarhorn pilot severely injured by Tekkadan; later cybernetically linked to the Kimaris Trooper.
Ein Dalton (アイン・ダルトン, Ain Daruton) was a Gjallarhorn pilot in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. He was severely wounded in combat with Tekkadan and later became the integrated “pilot” of the ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris Trooper, his body connected to the mobile suit. He was destroyed along with the Kimaris Trooper when Akihiro Altland defeated him in battle.
Biography
Ein fought Tekkadan in the first season and was crippled by Mikazuki Augus or Tekkadan forces. Gjallarhorn then used him in an experimental role, linking him to the Kimaris Trooper so the machine could be piloted despite his condition. He fought as an antagonist in Season 2 until Akihiro Altland destroyed the Kimaris Trooper, killing Ein. His story illustrates the series’ themes of dehumanisation and the cost of war.
