Personality:
In his youth he was a hopeless romantic who followed his own code of honor and chivalry. He always felt the most alive in the middle of battle risking his life for his love and his beliefs. An eccentric Ekkehard took up the guise of the Rozen Knight during the One Year War to mirror his world views. Hopeful, eager, ambitious, and a idealistic fanatic during the one year war he has slowly become more and more pragmatic and disillusioned with the progression of time. He has also become complacent in his position in life, no longer feeling the fire he once did. He has learned patience in his age, however his patience of course has limits.
Biography:
Born to a family of Politicians in Side 3 Ekkehard Rosengarten lived a rather sheltered life. He resented the way he parents brought him up more and more as he grew older. To escape this he would constantly read books and tales of old, loving especially the stories of knights dragons, and fair maidens. It filled his imagination constantly. His parents being Politicians he heard all about Zeon Zum Deikun and his antics. The ideas of Side-Ism and Contolism filled his young mind, and he immediately began to combine the ideas from the stories he read with these thoughts. Then one day, when he and his family were going to watch Zeon Zum Deikun's live speech, and he died right there for the world to see. No longer would he have a sheltered life after that point, and his personality to be was cemented to come. He also knew at that moment who his dragon was, and it was the Federation. This all of course made sense in his young ten year old mind of course.
From there when he got his thoughts together he became the Rozen Knight, and read a lot of Shakespeare much to the extreme annoyance of his parents. He would then once he was of age go to Officer School and become a mobile suit pilot. Mobile suits fascinated him endlessly, and he likened that first Zaku I he saw as to being like a Knight's owen armor. It was in Officer's School that he met his dearest friends, one of whom was Catherine Albright. His eccentric attitude annoyed instructors and students alike, but Catherine and a few others liked him more for it.
Staring the One Year War under the direct command of his friend Catherine Albright within Garma Zabi's forces he participated in the Invasion of North America. In his White Custom Zaku II he and Catherine ripped through over confident Federation Ground forces like they were tissue paper. It was here he would meet his nemesis whom he would encounter multiple times throughout the One Year War. While not ever learning his name, he could always tell whom it was by the way they fought and the insignia they put on their mobile suit. It was here however his own over confidence was reinforced. It is also where he experienced the so called joy of battle for the first time.
As the war went on Ekkehard Rosengarten would lose more and more comrades, but Catherine his inspiring leader always stayed. Though he began to become more worn down, especially after the news of Garma Zabi's death hit him. Indeed, things were seemingly becoming less idealistic by the day, but he kept a stiff upper lip. Even as the war seemingly slowly changed him from the inside out he never lost hope. He took part in multiple major points in the One Year War. He was at Granada, Tianems's Fleet, Solomon, and A Baoa Qu. Solomon and A Baoa Qu as well as the news of Odessa had the largest effects on him.
Along with multiple others during the battle of A Baoa Qu he would escape on a Gwazine-class battle ship, which he would eventually take command of. Sometime between the end of the One Year War and now he ended up within the ranks of Mars Zeon having gone from Neo Zeon to them. His Gwazine-class named the Ost Preussen now serves as a training ship for new sailors, pilots, and officers. His changed attitude and place within the training group has essentially killed his career. With his career at the dead end he has become complacent, though one day hopes for someone or somthing to reignite the fire in his heart he knew. For now however, he is content with teaching the new generation.
