Coral Conrad

Coral Conrad (コーラル・コンラッド Kōraru Konraddo) was the Mars Branch Cheif of Gjallarhorn, and bore the rank of Major.

Physical Appearance
Major Coral was an older man with black eyes and black hair shaved around the sides. He had very distinct laugh lines under his eyes and always appeared in his red Gjallarhorn uniform.

Personality
Coral Conrad was a furtive and greedy soldier who desired to kill Kudelia Aina Bernstein and end the freedom movement just for funding from Nobliss Gordon. He was highly impatient regarding that mission. He was upset when Crank Zent failed twice to capture Kudelia, calling the loyal soldier and incompetent fool for failing him.

Coral had no problem trying to mislead Gjallarhorn's inspection division despite his position as the Mars Branch chief. He tried to have data manipulated in order to deceive McGills Fareed, and even went as far as to try and bribe him. When McGillis refused the bribe, he threatened to arrest Coral. This upset Coral to the point where he started bashing his head against a wall and cursed McGillis for embarrassing him. He was generally considered a bad person even by his comrads, and when he died, Gaelio commented that karma had caught up with him.

Synopsis
Kudelia Aina Bernstein, leader of the Freedom Movement is a target of Coral Conrad's because if she dies then tensions between Mars and Earth will increase, and as a result; the Mars Branch of Gjallarhorn will receive funding from Nobliss Gordon. Major Coral learns of Kudelia's planned trip to earth from her father and prime minster of the Chyrse Autonomous Region on Mars: Norma Bernstein. After discovering her plans to hire CGS as an escort to Earth, Coral orders an assault on the CGS base, but the plan fails.

Coral blames the mission's failure on Lieutenant Crank Zent, who tries to capture Kudelia but is killed in the second attempt. Meanwhile, Coral must prepare for the arrival of Gjallarhorn's inspection team lead by Specialist Major's McGillis Fareed and Gaelio Bauduin. When the inspection team arrives, Coral tries to hide the attack on CGS, even going as far as to try and bribe them to keep information under wraps.

Coral is eventually contacted by the Orcus Company, who leaks Kudelia's transport route to earth. Coral uses this opportunity to spring an ambush and attack Kudelia's party in space, but he is killed in battle by the Gundam Barbatos.
