Gauron

ガウルン

Although little is known about Gauron currently, he serves as Sousuke’s most powerful and formidable adversary throughout the TV series. He is a top-tier terrorist backed by a mysterious organization, yet details about Gauron’s sponsors remain scarce, aside from the indication that they appear more formidable and possess greater resources than even the notorious Soviet KGB. Gauron is believed to be Japanese, or at least of Asian ethnicity, and he shares a long, bloodstained history with Sousuke. He formerly held the rank of captain in MITHRIL, though he departed before the arrival of all the major characters. During Sousuke’s days as an Afghan guerrilla, Sousuke and then-Soviet Spetsnaz commander Major Kalinin ambushed Gauron in a sniper attack, leaving a large scar on Gauron’s forehead. This is merely one of the many battle scars Sousuke inflicts upon this vicious man-slayer over the course of the series.
