Kathy Po

Kathy Po was a Preventer agent operating in Mars Century 0022, the daughter of legendary Alliance defector and physician Sally Po. As a Preventer operative, Kathy conducted Operation Mythos under orders from Dorothy Catalonia, who had become President of the Earth Sphere Unified Nation. Her role involved operating the ZERO System memory archive, viewing historical records including Treize Khushrenada’s personal history.

Biography

Kathy’s story follows a second-generation Preventer agent safeguarding the Earth Sphere Unified Nation decades after the Eve Wars.

Preventer agent

By Mars Century 0022, several decades after the Eve Wars and Mariemaia Incident, Kathy Po had become an agent of the Preventers, the secret intelligence organisation founded after the conflicts of AC 195-196. As the daughter of Sally Po, one of the original supporters of the Gundam pilots and a key figure in the colonial resistance, Kathy followed in her mother’s footsteps by dedicating herself to maintaining peace in the Earth Sphere.

Operation Mythos

President Dorothy Catalonia personally gave Kathy Po the orders and data necessary to conduct Operation Mythos. The details of this operation’s objectives and scope remain unclear, though it involved accessing highly sensitive historical information related to key figures from the After Colony era.

As part of Operation Mythos, Kathy viewed Treize Khushrenada’s personal history through the ZERO System memory archive. This advanced system, originally developed as a combat prediction interface, apparently evolved or was repurposed to serve as a repository for historical data. Through this archive, Kathy observed a five-year-old Dorothy Catalonia with her father, OZ leader General Chilias Catalonia, confirming details about Dorothy’s childhood and her early admiration for Treize.

The significance of Operation Mythos and why these particular historical records were needed remained tied to the complex political and military situation of Mars Century 0022, decades after the original conflicts that shaped the After Colony era.

Physical appearance

Preventer briefings depict Kathy with shoulder-length dark hair, field fatigues, and the organisation’s distinctive long coat, mirroring Sally Po’s uniform while incorporating modernised Mars Century styling. During archival work she is often shown wearing a data visor linked to the ZERO System terminals.

Personality & traits

Based on her role as a Preventer agent conducting sensitive historical research operations, Kathy Po demonstrated intelligence, dedication, and trustworthiness. President Dorothy Catalonia’s personal assignment of Operation Mythos to her suggests Kathy had earned significant respect within the Preventers organisation and the Earth Sphere Unified Nation government.

As the daughter of Sally Po, Kathy likely inherited her mother’s commitment to peace and justice, channelling it through her work as an intelligence operative rather than through medicine or direct combat support.

Skills & abilities

As a veteran Preventer investigator, Kathy combines intelligence analysis with hands-on operation of advanced Mars Century systems.

Kathy specialises in data forensics, Newtype-interface systems, and covert intelligence gathering. She can navigate the evolved ZERO System memory archive without succumbing to sensory overload, interpret classified Mars Century records, and coordinate long-range Preventer operations. Her investigative work requires multilingual communication, diplomatic discretion, and advanced technical literacy.

Relationships

Kathy’s closest relationships connect her to the Preventer leadership that guides Mars Century policy and the legacy of her mother.

Sally Po

Sally Po was Kathy’s mother, a legendary figure who had served as an Alliance medical officer before defecting to support the colonial cause and the Gundam pilots. Sally’s dedication to peace and justice likely inspired Kathy’s own choice to join the Preventers.

Dorothy Catalonia

President Dorothy Catalonia personally assigned Kathy to conduct Operation Mythos, suggesting a relationship of trust and professional respect. Dorothy’s position as President of the Earth Sphere Unified Nation in MC 0022 demonstrated how far she had risen from her controversial role during the Eve Wars.

Military career

Serving as a Preventer agent in MC 0022, Kathy handled strategic intelligence operations rather than direct combat. She liaised with Earth Sphere leadership, safeguarded historical records, and ensured the ZERO System’s memory archive remained under Preventer control. Her work on Operation Mythos exemplifies the Preventers’ postwar mission: monitoring potential threats and preserving institutional memory to prevent renewed militarisation.

Equipment

Preventer loadouts supply Kathy with encrypted datapads, portable comm suites, and the Mars Century iteration of the ZERO System interface—equipment designed for high-bandwidth data analysis rather than battlefield engagements.

Legacy

Kathy Po represents the next generation after the Eve Wars, showing how the children of those who fought in AC 195 continued working to maintain the peace their parents had helped establish. Her work with the ZERO System memory archive demonstrates how technology from the After Colony conflicts had been repurposed for historical preservation and intelligence operations decades later.

Behind the scenes

Kathy Po appears exclusively in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop, set in Mars Century 0022, where she represents one of the few confirmed children of the original supporting cast. Her use of the ZERO System memory archive signals how the controversial combat interface was preserved and repurposed for intelligence work, illustrating the long-term impact of the Eve Wars generation.
