Gary Tan is a fictional character in Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.
History[]
One of the pilots of the Yellow Jackets, met Cronicle Asher's ZMT-S12G Shokew while Uso Ewin was piloting it. Uso defeated Gary Tan, who stayed under hospital care for a while.
Learning that Liole Sabat had died in action, Gary insisted on taking the MT-S13G Godzorla to try and avenge Sabat's death. Yellow Jackets commander Fuala Griffon allowed this action, understanding that Gary desired revenge, and believing it would fuel him to victory or at least provide the data they needed from the Godzorla.
As Gary flew in search of the League Militaire's base, Cronicle Asher, who had infiltrated the secret factory, fired a signal flare to alert the Godzorla of his position. The Godzorla than engaged the factory's ground defenses, which were inadequate against the mobile suit. It then fought against Uso Ewin and his LM312V04 Victory Gundam. The two mobile suits engaged in an aerial battle, first trading beam shots, then moving into melee combat with beam sabers.
The Godzorla forced the Victory Gundam to the ground where one of its chest-mounted beam guns managed to hit the right foot. Eager for blood, Gary charged with the Godzorla's beam saber, hitting the Victory Gundam's right shoulder and cutting it off. At the same time, the Victory Gundam's beam saber hit the Godzorla's waist and cut through it. In its death throes, the Godzorla cut off the Victory Gundam's left forearm. Gary, with more injuries than before, was captured.
