Vim Jeturk

Vim Jeturk has a strong, rugged look and looks similar to his son, Guel Jeturk. Compared to Delling Rembran and Sarius Zenelli, Vim does not show much change in age from the prologue to the main story, though in some places he appears older, with his official artwork showing a more aged face. His father, the previous CEO, looked similar but had a much larger build.

Vim Jeturk is bold, ambitious, and very confident, leading his family business with a strong hand. He is blunt and tries to manage everything by himself, often ignoring others' opinions. As a father, he treats his sons more like tools than people, focusing on company success over their feelings. He can be harsh, scolding Guel a lot, and expects his children to obey. While he sometimes shows he cares, he mostly acts as a strict and overbearing father.

He holds strong pride in his family bloodline and is prejudiced against people from Earth, openly mocking them as being from "mining companies" or looking down on them. He calls Shaddiq Zenelli out for being an adopted child.

Vim is the CEO of Jeturk Heavy Machinery, one of the big three companies in the Benerit Group. He is the father of Guel Jeturk (his heir) and Lauda Neill (son by a mistress). In the prologue, Vim is still the son of the CEO and not yet in charge, but in the main story, he has already become CEO.

He is a skilled businessman and can make snap decisions to support his company's interests. During the attack on Plant Quetta, Vim actually fights in his mobile suit, piloting the Dilanza Sol to defend against "Dawn of Fold."

• Guel Jeturk: Vim’s older son, and the one he wants to become his successor. Treats Guel harshly, thinking only of business.
• Lauda Neill: Vim’s son by a mistress. Both Guel and Lauda's mothers left Vim, so he raised them on his own.
• Delling Rembran: He strongly dislikes Delling, the head of the group, and plans to replace him.
• Shaddiq Zenelli: Despite working together for a plot, Vim looks down on Shaddiq for being adopted.
• Prospera Mercury: She tricks Vim and further pulls him into dangerous schemes.

"Why can’t you understand this duel isn’t just about you? Children should just listen to their parents!"

Bold Plans and Betrayals

At the start, Vim Jeturk is planning to make Guel Jeturk marry Miorine Rembran, hoping to get closer to Delling Rembran so he can eventually take his place as head of the Benerit Group. However, when Guel loses his "Holder" status to Suletta Mercury, Vim’s plan falls apart. Vim initially gives up but is convinced by Prospera Mercury to arrange a rematch between Guel and Suletta.

Scheming and Downfall

Vim secretly manipulates the duel by providing Guel with the new Darilbalde mobile suit and setting up tricks to guarantee victory. But the plan fails because of machine problems, Miorine’s interference, and Guel’s unexpected rebellion. As a result, Vim and his company lose favor with their sponsors.

Still wanting power, Vim tries to use suspicions about the Aerial mobile suit being a Gundam to negotiate with Prospera for secret deals, but the foundation of GUND-ARM Inc. ruins this plot.

Last Strike and Tragic End

Vim still wants to assassinate Delling and teams up with Sarius Zenelli and Shaddiq Zenelli for an attack on Plant Quetta. However, both Sarius and Shaddiq were planning to betray him from the start and use him as a pawn. During the surprise "Dawn of Fold" attack, Vim pilots his Dilanza Sol to fight back.

In a twist of fate, he battles with his own son Guel Jeturk in space. Not knowing who the other is, Guel ends up delivering the final blow, causing Vim’s suit to explode and killing him.

• In official materials, it is shown that both Guel and Lauda’s mothers left Vim, leaving him to raise the boys alone. There are drawings showing them laughing together when the family was happier.
• He is described as loud and rough by other characters and is not well-liked.
• When it comes to leading the company, Vim tends to rush for results and ignores advice, trusting his machines too much, which sometimes causes big losses.
• Despite being harsh, he tries to make Guel his successor, using a tough approach that some see as old-fashioned.
• Compared to other parents in the story, Vim tries to meet his sons personally, even if to scold them.
• In the community, he is often seen as a bit of a clown, with his plans always going wrong and his company losing respect.
• Few solo illustrations of Vim appear in fan art; he is usually shown with the rest of the Jeturk family.
