Waldstein, Bismarck

ビスマルク・ヴァルトシュタイン

A one-eyed man who currently holds the title of Knight of One, the strongest among the Rounds. He pilots the Knightmare Frame Galahad. Despite his status and combat prowess, he believes that war should be a last resort and views unrestrained strength as unnecessary violence.
During the Second Battle of Tokyo, Bismarck leads the Britannian forces defending the shore against Li Xingke's invasion. Li and Bismarck engage in battle, with Li unable to defeat him. Bismarck compliments Li's skill when Li intentionally takes a hit to reposition and rescue the Chinese command vessel. During Schneizel's attempted coup against Emperor Charles, he intervenes to stop Suzaku's assassination attempt on the Emperor. Suzaku's "live" command urges him to flee, indicating that Waldstein is extremely dangerous. Following the Emperor's death and Lelouch's ascension to the throne, Bismarck leads three remaining members of the Rounds and a squadron of Knightmares in an attempt to remove Lelouch from power, but they are decimated by Suzaku in the Lancelot Albion. Bismarck attempts to use his Geass, which allows him to see a few seconds into the future, to even the odds, claiming that the only person he ever had to use it on was Marianne. Suzaku's "live" command allows him to achieve victory despite Bismarck's Geass, slicing the Galahad in half. Bismarck dies gasping Marianne's name.
