Sequel Series Characters

Gatchaman II

Dr. Sylvie Pandora: As Dr. Nambu's assistant and personal secretery, Dr. Pandora wields a good deal of power at the ISO and is authorized to give orders in Nambu's absence. As a specialist in cybernetics, she was the first to realize what had happened to Joe. She is a widow who lost both her husband Domingo and her six-year-old daughter Sammie in a shipwreck.
AKA: Dr. Francine Aikens (Eagle Riders)
Voice Actress: Iyeda Miyuki (Gatchaman II); Lara Cody (Eagle Riders)

Dr. Rafael: An independent mad scientist and "country doctor" who works from a hidden lab on an otherwise deserted island. It is Rafael who found Joe dying at Cross Karakorum (end of first series) and saved his life by changing him into a cyborg (a change that was not at all welcome). He later remodeled Joe as a weapon to destroy Sosai X. His passion to destroy X is not unfounded--Rafael is the one who called X to Earth.
AKA: Professor Andro (Eagle Riders)

GelSadora: Leader of Gallactor; Sosai X's latest puppet and chew toy. GelSadora is a mutant, force-grown from a six-year-old girl X took from a ship he wrecked. (This explains her towering height, strange masculine voice and tendency toward childish tantrums.) She later discovers that she was Sammie Pandora, and X retaliates by killing her mother.
AKA: Mallanox/Nancy Aikens (Eagle Riders)
Voice Actor: Ikeda Masaru (Gatchaman II); R. Martin Klein (Eagle Riders)

Gatchaman Fighter

Chief Engineer Saburo Kamo: When Chief Anderson is killed near the end of Gatchaman II, Dr. Nambu takes the Chief's place, and Kamo steps into Nambu's position as head of the ISO. He is responsible for the creation of the latest Gatchaman base and mechas, and acts as the team's dispatcher.
AKA: Avery (Eagle Riders)

Sosai Z ("Zed"): A single cell from Sosai X manages to survive the desperate battle at the end of Gatchaman II. The cell grows and mutates into a new alien form which builds a giant floating pyramid to use as a base of operations. In his latest incarnation, Zed is wiser and nastier than before, and just as hell-bent on destroying the Earth.
AKA: Cybercon (Eagle Riders)

Count Egobossler: The mad ruler of a small, aggressive country that has just managed to take over most of Europe by force. Egobossler is not the true leader of the Egobossler family; rather he is Elun, the bastard son of the previous count and a housemaid. When the old Count whipped his mother to death for one of his transgressions, Elun went berserk, changed his face to match his half-brother's, dyed his skin blue, murdered his father and took the Count's place. He keeps his half-brother locked up in secret.
Egobossler is a thoroughly nasty character who prefers to solve most of his personnel problems with a gun or sword. He wears a smiling mask in combat or when addressing his enemies onscreen. When he's not laying waste to various countries or plotting the ISO's demise, he enjoys sipping wine from a brandy glass and listening to operas on an old Victrola.
When Sosai Zed returned to power, he recognized Egobossler's potential and began providing him with monstermechs to help him take over the world. Egobossler accepted the help warily. Having studied what had happened to Berg Katse and GelSadera, he is determined not to be duped, but all villains have their weak spots.
AKA: "Happy Boy" (Eagle Riders)

Mechandol: Egobossler's big, brutish but extremely loyal second officer and bodyguard. He sticks with the Count, even when Egobossler falls out of favor due to a coup wrought by Kempler.
AKA: Olaf (Eagle Riders)

Kempler: Egobossler's former second officer. After getting smacked by the Count once too often for some real or imagined bungle, Kempler decides to get even. He rescues the true head of the Egobossler family and uses him as a puppet leader, while having Elun banished. Sosai Zed decides to back up the stronger of the two and sits back to watch them battle it out. Kempler eventually loses and is put to death by firing squad.
AKA: Vax (Eagle Riders)
