Trowa Barton

Trowa Barton (Torowa Bāton, derived from French trois, lit. "three") is one of the five leading characters from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.

Trowa is a quiet, though determined person. Patient and calm, he will analyze a situation before acting. He tends to prefer to be low-key, although some speculate he does have an unconscious desire to be noticed due to the fact that of all the names he could have chosen for himself, he chose that of an extremely wealthy and high-profile (though deceased) man; it would be difficult to blend in with a name like that. Trowa is often portrayed as an observer who carefully calculates the moves of others before deciding his own course of action. Blessed with unlimited patience, Trowa is able to wait until the opportune moment to come to the aid of his fellow pilots. When on the battlefield, Trowa attacks his enemies with utter ruthlessness and deadly accuracy. He tends to hide his feelings well behind an impassive mask.

Despite his emotionlessness, Trowa had developed a friendship with Quatre Raberba Winner. Symbolically, Trowa is often affiliated with masks not only because of his neutrality and his talent for infiltrating enemy ranks, but also because of his side-job as a circus clown --a job where his dress is a costume and painted mask. Trowa is also shown to have a strong connection with animals as when he first joined the circus. He seems passive about misfortune, seeming to have the attitude of "what will be, will be." Due to his long history of combat, he is the most experienced pilot.
