Joseph Eschonbach
Father of Icelina Eschonbach; Federation businessman who cooperated with Garma Zabi's administration.
Joseph Eschonbach (ヨゼフ・エッシェンバッハ, Yozefu Esshenbahha) was a prominent Earth Federation businessman and the father of Icelina Eschonbach. During the One Year War, he hosted receptions for Garma Zabi and cooperated with Zeon’s occupation administration in an attempt to shield his daughter from political intrigue.
Role
Joseph attempted to protect Icelina by cooperating with Garma’s administration. He begged her not to pursue the White Base after Garma’s death, but she slipped past his guards and launched in a stolen mobile suit. Joseph was left to mourn both Garma and his own child when Icelina was killed by Amuro Ray in the RX-78-2 Gundam.
Behind the scenes
Joseph Eschonbach was introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam as part of Icelina’s storyline and to illustrate how Federation elites navigated Zeon occupation.
