Jeremiah Gottwald

ENGLISH VOICE ACTOR: Crispin Freeman

Friend or Foe?? It never ceases to amaze me how many times a character in an anime series will go from being the mortal enemy to a trusted ally. That seems to be the situation with Jeremiah. How did that happen? Well….as a member of the Britannian Army, Jeremiah was expected to protect Empress Marianne. Therefore, her assassination had a great impact on him. When he ultimately learns that Lelouch's actions are fueled by a vow to avenge his mother's death, Jeremiah becomes dedicated to Zero's cause.

However, before all that happened…..

When the series began, Jeremiah appears as a conceited, yet skilled Knightmare Frame pilot whose main objective is to advance himself in the Britannian faction. He strongly believed that the Britannian Forces should only consist of Britannians. Jeremiah is faced with a devastating set-back when Zero uses the Geass on the unsuspecting Britannian in order to free Suzaku in episode 4. His pride gets the best of him, and Jeremiah becomes obsessed with regaining his honor. Unfortunately, that almost led to his death had it not been for Prince Schneizel's scientists who saved him using cybernetic parts. These parts greatly increased his capabilities.

Further into Season II, Jeremiah is again able to escape death. He meets V.V. and is given the Geass Canceler. This means that he cannot be controlled by the powers of Geass anymore. Is he able to escape death in the series? You'll just have to watch to find out!!
