Clouseau, Belfangan

ベルファンガン・クルーソー

The current team leader of the SRT team, callsign Urzu-1, first appeared in the novel 'End of Day By Days' and the second anime series Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. He replaced Captain Gail McAllen following McAllen's death near the end of the novel 'Rocking into The Blue' (and subsequently, the first anime series). He pilots the M9D Falke and was part of MITHRIL's Mediterranean Sea Fleet. His initial introduction to the team was somewhat unorthodox; he offended Kurz Weber and Sousuke Sagara by claiming McAllen was a coward after sitting in McAllen's former chair, despite McAllen actually being one of his most trusted teammates and a good friend. He demonstrated his expertise in martial arts by incapacitating Kurz with a single move and defeating Sousuke and the Arbalest during a 'test' he conducted. He also proved himself a capable leader by explaining to Sousuke why he had lost, clarifying that it was not due to a lack of skill, as they were evenly matched in that regard, but rather due to Sousuke's hatred for the Arbalest. He told Sousuke that an Arm Slave is like a part of their own bodies. Since then, Kurz and he have not seen eye-to-eye, though they have developed a grudging respect for each other's abilities. It is also known that he and Melissa Mao have known each other for a long time. Mao's nickname for him was 'Bel'. He was also one of the few survivors of the attack on Melida island, alongside Melissa Mao, Kurz Weber, Richard Mardukas, Teletha Testarossa, and most of the crew of the Tuatha de Danaan, at the end of the novel 'Continuing on My Own'.
In the TSR OVA, it is revealed that he is an anime otaku in his spare time.
