Rustal Elion (ルスタル・エリオン, Rusutaru Erion) is a senior Gjallarhorn commander in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

Biography
Rustal commands a Gjallarhorn fleet and represents the establishment that McGillis seeks to overthrow. He uses Julieta Juris and other subordinates, deploys the forbidden Dainsleif when it suits him, and outmanoeuvres McGillis politically. After the final battles he emerges as a dominant figure in the new order and is portrayed as a pragmatic, ruthless defender of the status quo.
