Le Creuset, Rau

ラウ・ル・クルーゼ

Rau Le Creuset is a ZAFT Commander who leads the Le Creuset Team, which is composed of elite Coordinators. His birth name is Rau La Flaga, and he is a direct clone of Mu La Flaga's father, Al Da Flaga. This makes him a Natural, a fact that is ironic given that ZAFT consists mostly of Coordinators (if not entirely) and Chairman Zala advocates for the extermination of all Naturals. However, Rau's skill and his spatial awareness trait allow him to pass as a Coordinator.
Despite his allegiance to ZAFT, Rau bears no loyalty to it, or to anyone else, for that matter. Rau's true aim is to put an end to humanity and what he sees as a 'world of endless desires'. He believes he can accomplish this through the nuclear arsenal of the Earth Forces and GENESIS, ZAFT's super weapon. Furthermore, he believes he is the person best suited to carry out the judgment and execution of humanity. Rau seemingly does not value human life in the slightest—not even his own.
He is extremely skilled at piloting any mobile suit or Gundam of any type and is a very good strategist. He makes long-term plans for his peacemaking operation over a large span of time, and manages to pull them off.
