Ayman, Miguel

ミゲル・アイマン

Miguel enlists in ZAFT to pay for his younger brother's medical treatment. He is known as the "Magic Bullet Of Dusk" because he typically pilots a customized, orange-colored GINN, matching the hue of dusk. The high mobility of this custom GINN allows his combat style to specialize in delivering deadly blows. He serves as a ZAFT ace under Rau Le Creuset's command. Miguel is portrayed as headstrong and somewhat arrogant, often underestimating his Natural opponents.
Miguel takes part in transferring the asteroid base Nova to the PLANTs, although he considers the mission unenjoyable. During an Earth Forces raid, he engages Mu La Flaga. In January C.E. 71, the Nazca-class Vesalius, commanded by Rau Le Creuset, is dispatched to investigate the mysterious destruction of ZAFT supply bases. While on patrol, Miguel identifies the attacker: Serpent Tail mercenary Gai Murakumo. Miguel's GINN is damaged in combat with Gai's custom GINN, forcing him to switch to a standard GINN for the attack on Heliopolis on January 25.
During the Heliopolis attack in Gundam SEED, Miguel attempts to capture the GAT-X105 Strike. He acts after learning from Athrun Zala that Rusty Mackenzie, the ZAFT pilot assigned to take it, has been killed, and that the Strike is being piloted by an Earth Alliance soldier, Murrue Ramius. However, Athrun fails to mention that Kira Yamato, his childhood friend, is also in the cockpit and is a Coordinator like them. Miguel instructs Athrun to evacuate the GAT-X303 Aegis from Heliopolis before it is damaged, then attempts to engage the Strike himself. Murrue is no match for Miguel. Seeing that his friends Sai Argyle, Kuzzey Buskirk, Miriallia Haw, and Tolle Koenig are nearby, Kira takes control of the Strike and fights back, ultimately forcing Miguel to retreat after disabling the ZAFT pilot's GINN. Miguel quickly pulls the self-destruct trigger and escapes his GINN before it explodes.
