Crown

Crown (クラウン) is a short-lived soldier under Char Aznable's command, one of the three named pilots who attack White Base near the beginning of the series. As the space-fighting groups dangerously neared the atmosphere, Char gave the order for Crown to return to their well-defended starship immediately. Too gung ho in his pursuit defeating of the newly launched Gundam, Crown remained aloft in perpetual combat with the first-time flying Amuro Ray. However, when the atmosphere begins to take its toll on the ships, he frantically realizes his Mobile Suit does not have the proper protection or tools to deal with the burn (Gundam does). Powerless to help, Char promises to not waste his death before Crown burns up. Sadly, his death ultimately is in vain since Char fails in his following attack against White Base.

Atmospheric entry continues to be stressed as a serious danger in throughout the series' canon; Crown's actions are a telling lesson for the worst case scenario.

Mission Mode
He doesn't appear within the game's original mode and is only mentioned within Amuro's Official Mode. He is treated as the last enemy ace needed to be shot down in order for to enter the atmosphere. His death sequence is given a pre-rendered movie within the game.

Personality
Not much is known about Crown even within the Gundam canon. His cockiness and unwillingness to obey orders, however, lead to his death.
