PATRICK ZALA SPOILER!

Athrun Zala’s cold, intensely imposing father and the Supreme Chairman of the PLANT National Defense Committee. Consumed by a blinding, absolute madness after his wife perished in the nuclear devastation of the Bloody Valentine tragedy, Patrick completely hijacks the Coordinator government. He shifts their military objective from regional defense to total racial eradication. He views natural-born humans as sub-human vermin that must be permanently cleansed from the cosmos, eventually constructing the world-ending, gamma-ray laser weapon GENESIS to execute his genocidal vision, completely blind to the fact that his radicalism is tearing his own son's soul apart.
