090

Although appearing emotionally detached and blunt, 090 is not completely emotionless. He is forthcoming and amiable with Squad 13 when he first meets them and admits he was looking forward to meeting Hiro, whom he admires for being famous as the parasite who gave the children names when they were in the Garden. He holds a strong grudge against Zero Two, as her reckless behavior resulted in the death of his partner, which is seen in Episode 05 when he refused to fight alongside her. He died shortly after Vice Chairman initiated "Protocol 32", ordering the self-destruction of Squad 26 to stop the destruction of Plantation 13 and to secure a path into the Gran Crevasse. Although he was surprised and reluctant by the order, he followed through with it as he saw it as a honorific sacrifice for the greater good and he reaffirmed his trust in Squad 13 before his demise.

Code:090 has straight and short brown hair with brown eyes. He dons the standard Stamen uniform. In Episode 15, his hair turned completely light grey due to the advanced ageing process in parasites due to piloting the FRANXX.
