Upson Thompson

Upson Thompson (アプソン, Apuson) was the General of the Britannian Air Force, a blonde haired middle aged man who seemed to care more about his reputation than anything else.

Second Season
He was first seen in Operation Pacific Ocean Ambush (episode) where he was responsible for escorting Governor Nunnally from the Holy Britannian Empire California Base to Area 11. When Guilford arrives offering aid to Upson, he refused Guilford to assist him with the high profile escort mission believing that his forces were more than adequate enough for the job. While in enroute, he and his forces were ambushed by Zero and the Black Knights who were attempting to kidnap Nunally. Soon after their appearance, they take out many of Upson's forces. However, Guilford followed Upson being their rear guard and joined in the battle. After the Guren Flight-Enabled Version appears, the Knights of the Round appear as well. Since Upson could not bear any disgrace and had do something in order to prevent demotion, he went into one of the turret rooms in the Logres-class Floating Battleship to prove his worth. After spotting Tohdoh, he fired at him, but missed. Tohdoh, then tells him he is a fool for shooting his own engines and fires at Upson killing him.

Upson makes a brief appearance in the Oz the Reflection manga. He leads the Virginian Fleet ordered by Prince Schneizel to confront the Wings of Tallyrand's approach on Pendragon. However, he is unable to stop them.
