Biography

Marbet Fingerhat was one of the earliest trained pilots to join the League Militaire, leading the Shrike Team aboard the Reinforce Junior throughout the Zanscare War and mentoring Uso Ewin as he piloted the Victory Gundam.

League Militaire officer

Marbet brought professional experience to a movement reliant on volunteers. She became a central figure aboard the Reinforce Junior, coordinating sortie plans with Oliver Inoe and providing tactical oversight for missions against the Zanscare Empire.

Command of the Shrike Team

As field leader she set the tone for the League’s assault corps. Flying the Victory Gundam Hexa and other League-produced suits, she spearheaded sorties that supported Uso’s engagements, emphasising coordination and mutual support so the civilian pilots could survive encounters with BESPA aces.

Mentor to Uso Ewin

Beyond the cockpit, Marbet acted as a surrogate elder sister to the youngest volunteers. She helped Uso adapt to guerrilla warfare, guiding his emotional development whilst he bore the burden of piloting the Victory Gundam.

Later campaigns

Throughout the Earth liberation operations and the space campaign around Angel Halo, Marbet stayed at the forefront of League strategy. Even when injuries forced her to recuperate, she continued to support the Shrike Team through planning sessions and debriefings, and she survived the war to help transition the League toward reconstruction.
