Kira Yamato
is the captain of the Minerva. She is loyal to the ZAFT army and follows through her orders, even if she dislikes them. Nevertheless, she often tries to disobey her orders in favor of a more peaceful outcome to the battles. She is Gilbert Durandal's mistress, who left him as she wanted to have a child. When the Minerva is defeated by the "Archangel", Talia goes to see Durandal just as he is shot by Rey. She decides to die with the two of them, telling Kira Yamato about her son, and that she wants captain Murrue Ramius to visit him.
