paptimus scirocco
A fictional character from the Gundam mechaverse. Main antagonist from the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam anime TV series from 1985.
Paptimus Scirocco is a very tall, intelligent, evil, charming and powerful Titans Newtype high ranking officer. He commands the Jupitris energy ship and designed a plethora of mobile suits. (Just don't give him any watermelon bars...).
Scirocco's charm, almost a form of mind control, is enough to turn both Reccoa Londe and Sarah Zabiarov, who were both on good terms with members of the AEUG Argama's crew, into his undying followers (as well as influencing the actions of Yazan Gable).
Regardless, he is mercilessly and brutally killed by a ferocious Kamille Bidan in the Zeta Gundam, who rams Scirocco's mobile suit The O, its capabilities amplified by the biosensor, straight into Scirocco's cockpit, crushing him to death.
Paptimus' character design and personality traits are somewhat similar to those of Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars.
