The United Earth Sphere Alliance

Field Marshal Noventa 

The supreme commander of the Alliance military, Noventa is old enough to remember the noble ideals that once motivated the Alliance, and as relations with the space colonies have become increasingly strained he finds himself leaning ever more towards a peaceful solution. But no sooner has Noventa decided on a policy of peaceful negotiation and gradual disarmament, than Treize maneuvers him into the path of the Gundam pilots, turning a budding pacifist into a martyr to feed the fires of war.

Noventa left behind a wife as well as a grand-daughter named Sylvia after his death.

General Septem

The commander of the Alliance's "cosmoarma," or space force, Septem is younger and more aggressive than his fellow Alliance leaders. While Noventa and Ventei speak of peace, Septem lobbies for another crackdown on the rowdy space colonies. His attitude hints at the kind of oppression the space colonists have suffered at the hands of his space forces. (taken from The Gundam Project)

Assassinated by Lady Une during Operation Daybreak, Septem left behind a father, as well as a son named Gwinter

General Ventei 

Ventei is the commander of the Alliance's terrestrial forces, comprising the "arma" (army), "marina" (navy), and "aeronautica" (air force). Like Noventa, he is a member of the Alliance's idealistic older generation, and he similarly endorses a course of peaceful coexistence with the space colonies. And like Noventa, Ventei becomes a martyr through Treize's manipulations. (taken from The Gundam Project)

Minister Darlian 

Relena's foster father is an Alliance vice minister for foreign affairs, responsible for the ongoing negotiations with the space colonies. As such, he is a steadfast advocate for peaceful coexistence with the colonies. Though his work frequently takes him away from his family, he is a devoted and affectionate parent to Relena and his revelation that he is not her true father comes as a great shock to his adopted daughter.

As we eventually discover, before joining the Alliance government, Darlian was an official of the Sanc Kingdom and a trusted aide to King Peacecraft. When the kingdom was occupied by Alliance troops thirteen years ago, he smuggled the infant Relena to safety and raised her as his own child. (taken from The Gundam Project)

Assassinated by Lady Une, Darlian left behind a wife as well as his foster daughter Relena.

Sally Po 

This idealistic Alliance officer captures Heero after his first run-in with a fellow Gundam pilot, and insists on treating her young captive humanely. After OZ stages its coup, she becomes a guerilla resistance fighter, and crosses paths with our heroes several times in the running war against OZ. Ultimately she hooks up with Noin and the two women become a volunteer support team of sorts for the wayward Gundam pilots (taken from The Gundam Project)

Sally survives the Eve Wars and, in Endless Waltz, joins the new government's Preventer intelligence agency.

And here are some less prominent figures in the Alliance military, arranged in order of rank.

Gwinter and his grandfather

The son of General Septem and, like his father, an Alliance space force commander, he somehow manages to escape the depredations of Operation Daybreak and hold out for a while at an Alliance-controlled colony with his grandfather and some Alliance officers. Zechs pays them a visit during the period of OZ's peace overtures to the colonies.

General Deigo O'Neil

The man responsible for the conquest of the Sanc Kingdom and the massacre of its royal family. He didn't do a very thorough job, however, as the heir apparent of the Sanc royal throne escaped and turns up at his residence 13 years later...

The commander of Corsica Base, he appears briefly in Episode 3 as a veteran officer highly resentful of OZ's all-too-prominent role in Alliance military affairs. His surname is almost certainly derived from that of history's most famous "Corsican" general - Napoleon Bonaparte.

Around the time of Operation Daybreak, Colonel Bunto assassinates the pacifist leader of a small country in what used to be China and turns it into his personal base. There are many who oppose his rule, however, the most recalcitrant of whom are a band of rebels led by the former Alliance officer Sally Po. Desperate to put down the rebellion and consolidate his hold over the country, Bunto approaches OZ and makes a deal with them - he would allow them to take over the country and destroy all dissident elements, and they would allow him to remain as head of state. His nefarious plans come to naught, however, when Gundam pilot Chang Wufei enters the fray...

Bunto's subordinate. Firmly opposed to OZ interference in his country's affairs, Nanaki quickly finds himself sacrificed in the name of Bunto's ambition.
