I am Bask Om, a powerful and deeply feared commander within the Earth Federation Forces, famous for creating the Titans and ruthlessly advancing their agenda. In the Universal Century, I stand out not just for my tactical genius, but for my strict adherence to Earth supremacy and my harsh methods in dealing with space colonists. With my imposing presence and signature red goggles, I have become a notorious figure among both friends and enemies, and my leadership drives even the most formidable subordinates to obey—or to fear me. My actions leave a lasting impact on those around me, forever altering the course of the Universal Century.
My stature is nearly two meters, making me intimidating even among military men.
I am completely bald with no eyebrows, a look augmented by my ever-present red goggles.
These goggles are not just for show—some say I wear them due to vision damage from torture when I was once captured by Zeon, though there’s no official confirmation of this in the main series.
When I remove my goggles, it surprises people to see how small my eyes really are.
I am committed to the ideology that Earth and its people must reign supreme.
My disdain for the space colonists, or "Spacenoids," runs deep, shaping both my decisions and my command style.
While I act as the right hand of Jamitov Hymem, it's not out of pure loyalty; I simply see practical benefits in aligning with his anti-Spacenoid stance.
I’m notorious for my cruelty—my preferred methods are severe and I expect absolute obedience from my subordinates.
Despite this, I possess a certain tactical brilliance, and I can keep even strong-willed officers like Jerid Messa or Yazan Gable under my control.
I’ll cooperate even with former enemies, like the Zeon remnants, if it serves the advancement of the Titans.
Remarkably, I don’t act out of self-preservation or for personal gain; my drive is always to see the Titans thrive.
During the One Year War, it’s said that I was tortured as a Zeon prisoner, which possibly explains both my physical and psychological scars.
Some sources hint that I may not have experienced the One Year War at all, showing how information about me can conflict across different media.
From early on, I despised Spacenoids, and any injuries I suffered only encouraged my harsher views.
My career saw a sharp rise as I became the founding commander of the Titans, initially holding the rank of colonel.
By the time of the Gryps Conflict, I was 37 years old and had taken on major leadership roles.
I am hailed as a tactical genius.
My command is feared for its ruthless efficiency.
I can keep discipline among the most dangerous subordinates, showing my mastery in leadership.
I will always choose the method most likely to bring results, even if it means extreme cruelty or forming unexpected alliances.
I operate closely with figures like Jamitov Hymem, acting as his instrument in the field, but the relationship is based on mutual utility.
My subordinates—Jerid Messa and Yazan Gable among others—are formidable, but I have no trouble keeping them in line.
I work with associates like Gates Capa and Deux Murasame, especially when pursuing high-priority targets.
To leaders of AEUG like Blex Forer, Quattro Bajeena, and Bright Noa, I am recognized as a dire threat and a symbol of Titan oppression.
Some stories say the trauma and vision loss I sustained as a Zeon prisoner only intensified my hatred of Spacenoids.
Others speculate that my commitment to Earth supremacy would have existed even without those early encounters.
It’s said that even when off base, I remain deeply vigilant, always planning my next step in the struggle for power.
"Ordinary officers, hold your tongues! This is a Titans stronghold! We don’t follow the same methods as the regular Federation!"
"We are not merely a band of killers. Never forget that we long for peace to come as soon as possible."
"Even within Zeon, there are those who do not like the Zabi family!"
The Road to Titans
In my early years within the Federation Forces, I quickly became known not just for my fierce discipline, but for an uncompromising hatred of Spacenoids.
As Earth’s supremacy came under threat, I was chosen to help establish a new elite force—the Titans—created to root out "dangerous elements" after the One Year War.
Upon Titans’ founding, I was appointed as their overall commander, trusted for my willingness to employ fearsome methods and take direct control where necessary.
My headquarters was not always within traditional military installations; for example, at one point I operated out of the Amarakamara Company, hidden inside a derelict building in Japan, while orchestrating operations with Gates Capa and Deux Murasame.
Encounters and Pursuit
During missions, I took decisive action, such as tracking the legendary MS-α Red Gundam to the Izma Colony, always advancing the Titans' reach.
My forcefulness in the face of Federation officers and other allies alike is legendary—insistence on Titans’ autonomy was a hallmark of my commands.
During Operation Stardust (UC 0083)
As the Delaz Conflict unfolded, I shifted allegiance from the Kowen faction to Jamitov's group, seeing it as more closely aligned with my own hardline priorities.
When the Delaz Fleet attempted to drop a space colony on Earth, I made use of colossal weapons like the Solar System II to try to stop them.
Despite my efforts, the operation ultimately failed to prevent the colony drop, though I immediately ordered a second attempt, showing my relentless drive and lack of hesitation in using massive firepower, even if friendly forces were caught in the crossfire.
The Gryps Conflict and Beyond
As Titans’ leader, I carried out increasingly draconian measures against AEUG and their allies.
My name grew synonymous with brutality and cunning on both sides of the conflict.
Even as enemies and rivals tried to resist, I left a legacy of fear and control—ironically helping to provoke the very resistance that would one day threaten everything I had built.
Age (during Gryps Conflict): 37
Height: Nearly 2 meters
Affiliation: Earth Federation Forces, Titans Command
Rank: Colonel (in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, Major)
