| "TROWA BARTON" VOICE ACTOR: Kirby Morrow ALLEGIANCE: (former) to the forces of the BARTON FOUNDATION, later to the Colonies, (current) to his fellow Gundam PRIMARY MOBILE SUIT: GUNDAM HEAVYARMS, also piloted the VAYEATE 1ST APPEARENCE: GUNDAM WING: THE SHOOTING STAR SHE SAW The boy known as TROWA BARTON started out as a nameless pilot/mechanic for the BARTON FOUNDATION. He became a principle mechanic working on the GUNDAM HEAVYARMS. In this capacity he got to know the real TROWA BARTON, who was the son of BARTON FOUNDATION Head DEKIM BARTON. TROWA was shot by a worker who disaproved of OPERATION METEOR. The No-Name mechanic agreed to take HERAVYARMS and go to Earth instead where he would take TROWA'S name and help create a new less destructive OPERATION METEOR. After arriving on Earth and starting the Operation, TROWA went to work undercover at a circus where he befriended CATHERINE BLOOM. The two soon formed a sibling like bond. TROWA soon befriended fellow Gundam pilot QUATRE RABABA WINNER. The parted ways but during the disasterous mission in Siberia, TROWA saved HEERO YUY after the latter destroyed his Gundam. After HEERO recovered, TROWA tried to do the same thing before a packed house during a circus performance. CATHERINE shot the idea down and TROWA left. He accompanied HEERO to his battle with ZECHS MERQUISE and fended off other Oz forces that were trying to interfere. When all the pilots left for space, TROWA infiltrated Oz as a pilot. As a test he had to destroy the GUNDAM DEATHSCYTHE. He then rose through the ranks to become test pilot of the VAYEATE. He captured HEERO but told him and the other pilots that the GUNDAM SCIENTISTS were also prisoners so they should all sit tight while the SCIENTISTS made their own plans. TROWA and HEERO took the VAYEATE and MERCURIUS to battle the insane QUATRE. During the fight, the VAYEATE was destroyed and TROWA was thought dead. He survived and made his way back to CATHERINE BLOOM. Unfortunately he had amensia and CATHERINE refused to allow him near any of his friends. Finally TROWA'S sense of duty drove back into battle where a test drive of the WING ZERO restored his memory. He then helped the pilots fight WHITE FANG and the forces of TRIEZE KHUSHRENADA in a battle that culminated in a huge confrontation between all sides on Christmas Eve. Following the end of the battle, TROWA gave up his Gundam and went back to the circus. When DEKIM finally made his move, TROWA infiltrated his army. He helped HEERO and DUO stop DEKIM from dropping a colony on Earth. He and DUO then headed to Earth where they joined with QUATRE, NOIN, and ZECHS in fending off DEKIM'S SERPEANT Mobile Suits. Following the death of DEKIM and the defeat of his army, TROWA destroyed his Gundam and went back to the peaceful life. He considered dropping the name TROWA BARTON and becoming a no-name again but his friends told him otherwise. (Note: Actor Kirby Morrow can also be heard as the voice of Cyclops in X-Men: Evolution. He can also be heard playing Van in the anime Vision of Escaflowne.) Back to Main Page Back to table of contents |
