Gracchus

The Gracchus is a Knightmare Frame developed by the tributary sub-empire of Euro Britannia. It's used primarily by the Knights of St. Michael, and is one of the strongest Knightmare Frames in their arsenal. It's only known pilot is Jean Rowe.

Design and Specifications
The Gracchus is the improved version of the KMF that lost the competition for the Sutherland successor to the Gloucester. It is highly mobile, and Its armor is decorated with a horse-esque design, most notably in the legs, though the majority of the frame body is using Sutherland parts. the head is an obvious example of this. Its Landspinners are also different, being singular wheels attached to the back of both feet rather than the traditional design found on most Britannian Knightmares. A notable feature of the frame is that both its arms are able to extend outward, allowing for surprise deadly thrusting attacks with the use of its Rapier Swords. The Gracchus is also equipped with a powerful Foldable Cannon, which utilizes Sakuradite as its ammunition. This allows the Gracchus to provide supporting artillery fire on the battlefield.

Despite being built from the 5th Generation Sutherland, it's overall design and upgrades show it to be far more advanced than its predecessor, even allowing it to go head to head against the advanced 7th Generation Lancelot. However, after engaging in a battle with the Lancelot, it was heavily damaged, and had to be hurriedly repaired with carbon fiber parts, hence the black color body parts seen later in the Akito OVA.
