キラ・ヤマト
is a blind priest trusted by both the PLANTs and Earth Alliance, thus allowing him to serve as an occasional envoy between the two. He is also closely aligned to the Junk Guild and a mentor to Prayer Reverie. He runs an orphanage in the Marshall Islands. In the events of "Gundam SEED", he brings the injured Kira Yamato to Lacus Clyne with Lowe Guele's aid. When Malchio is visited by Athrun, the reverend consults with him. Sometime between the Battle of Mendel and the Battle of Boaz, Malchio negotiates a treaty between the Junk Guild and the Three Ships Alliance, allowing the Junk Guild vessel ReHOME to act as the tender ship of the Three Ships Alliance.
