Character Biography

First Season

Initially, Ribbons is seen aiding Alejandro Corner in his overzealous quest for world domination. Like Gundam Meister Tieria Erde, Ribbons has the unique ability to interface with Veda, the supercomputer for Celestial Being. He uses this ability to help Alejandro access all levels of Veda, eventually uncovering the preserved body of Aeolia Schenberg, the founder of Celestial Being. Alejandro quickly takes advantage of the situation and murders Schenberg, but this sets off a system trap that triggers the Trans-Am system of the completed GN Drives. Enraged by Schenberg's trickery, Corner turns to Ribbons and demands to know the meaning of this, but Ribbons claims to have no knowledge of it.

Later when Alejandro is defeated in battle by Setsuna F. Seiei, Ribbons contacts Alejandro and reveals that he had been manipulating him the whole time. He calls Alejandro "an exquisite fool" and smugly declares that he will be the one who leads the new world. Alejandro slams his fist against Ribbons' countenance on the screen and curses him just before he dies as his Alvaaron explodes.

Four years later, Ribbons is seen flanked by five people and calling themselves "Innovators", the future of mankind.

Second Season

In the first episode of the second season, Ribbons is seen expressing his pleasure at the reappearance of Gundams and meeting Wang Liu Mei.
