Personality and Traits
His personality is pretending to be calm, but he tends to get hot unexpectedly. While fighting the earthlings, they notice the difference between themselves and their mental aspects. During the hostage action, I felt a strong relationship of trust in their (Banjo Haran, or Irumgart Kazahara) behavior that seemed to be out of the ordinary to defeat the enemy even if they abandoned the hostage, and had doubts about the Earth invasion operation, eventually separated. He fights with the Earthlings, but is defeated by Wendro with a single blow.
Mekibos first comes off as flippant and arrogant, generally not taking his job, colleagues, or enemies seriously. The only person he appears to have any real respect (or fear) for is Wendolo, his superior and younger brother. At first, he regards Earthlings as contemptuously as his the rest of the Zovorg, but he gradually comes to have a genuine respect not only for their combat prowess, but for their will to live and ability to harness emotion.
History
Like the rest of the Inspectors, Mekibos comes from the Zovorg alliance, a fairly ill defined group of allied peoples and planets that the average Earthling would consider aliens. Before either SRW 3 or Original Generation 2 start, he sustains injuries that give him distinctive scars across his cheek. It is implied that Wendolo had something to do with it, but it isn't elaborated on. During his first sortie against the Federation Occupied White Star, he wipes out the stationed fleet in a single blast with his MAPW attack, forcing the Hiryu Custom and her crew to flee due to a lack of manpower. Afterwards, Mekibos tries to procure several of Earth's higher end weapons, such as the Huckebein and the Huckebein Mk III. This leads him into a direct confrontation with Ryoto and Ring Mao, who manage to escape when the Mk III's uranus system activates and allows the newly formed Gunner frame to score a critical hit on the Graterkin with it's full impact cannons.
Later on, while defending against the Hagane and Hiryu Custom's operation Plantanegent, he uses his Thunder Crush MAPW once again to great effect, crippling enemy and ally alike. After Van Vat Tran's kamikaze attack on both Vigagi and him, Mekibos is forced to retreat from the battlefield. He later finds himself in defense of the Moon Cradle, which the Inspectors occupied over the course of the war. After a feint operation made by the Hiryu Custom, he uses a highly advanced Gravity-manipulating system to use Ring Mao as a hostage against Irmgard Kazahara. However, Shu Shirakawa arrives and promptly steamrolls over the gravity effect with his significantly more powerful Granzon. Deciding that discretion is the better part of valor, Mekibos retreats.
He makes his final stand against the Kurogane and Hiryu Custom in an asteroid field near the White Star. After being defeated, he realizes that the Inspectors have been wrong all along, and imparts his former enemies with vital information about the interior of the White Star. During the showdown with Wendolo, Mekibos appears as an ally, foiling with Wendolo's attempted escape with a well placed explosive on the Dikastis' teleportation device. Unfortunately, Wendolo had a counter measure of his own and managed to totally disable Graterkin by sabotaging it earlier. Mekibos was killed by Wendolo's subsequent attack.
While his fate is up in the air in the OG timeline, in the classic continuity, Mekibos is actually revived as a cyborg by the Zovorg and is instrumental in peace negotiations between themselves and Earth, and stopping Zezernan's rogue military action.
Trivia
- If the player manages to defeat the inspector trio during their first appearance at the White Star, Mekibos actually directly congratulates him for his perseverance. When pressed, he also gives you several of the best parts in the game.
