Lowe Guele (ロウ・ギュール Rō Gyūru) is the main protagonist of the manga Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray. He's a technician from the non-governmental organization the Junk Guild and pilot of one of three Astray prototypes, the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame.
Personality & Character
Lowe has a carefree and easygoing nature. This makes him likable to the Junk Guild team, but it also means that he can be too trusting at times. Lowe, despite being a Natural, has no hatred against Coordinators, and has even saved one's life.
Skills & Abilities
Although he is a Natural, Lowe can pilot the Red Frame with the assistance of an artificially intelligent computer called 8, which he salvaged from an abandoned spacecraft. In the Graveyard area he met an old man named "Un No", who transferred his skills and made the "Gerbera Straight" katana used by Red Frame for him. Lowe is unusually gifted at troubleshooting things at first glance, usually being able to fix them on the spot.

History
Born in C.E. 53, he joined the Junk Guild when he was 16 years old. He is a mechanic genius and could fix any problem usually at the first glance. In C.E.71, Lowe and his friends on the refitted transport ship HOME arrived at the wreckage of the space colony Heliopolis, and salvaged the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame and the MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame, as well as the MBF-P01 Gundam Astray Gold Frame's right arm. However, Lowe was soon forced to give the Blue Frame to Serpent Tail's Gai Murakumo.[1] Afterwards, he was attacked by several organizations, mostly by Actaeon Industries, so they could steal the Red Frame.[2] Such thieves included Juri Wu Nien, who was actually gathering the combat data of the Red Frame for Erica Simmons of Morgenröte. While Juri failed to steal the Red Frame, she did obtained the mobile suit's data.
When Lowe was in need of a melee weapon for Red Frame, he travels to the "Graveyard" in search for the Gerbera Straight. He finds it, however, it was damaged in a battle. The old man he encounters at the Graveyard teaches Lowe how to repair it while at the same time, trains Lowe to be a swordsman.
During his time with Red Frame in space, Lowe also accidentally encountered Lacus Clyne's civilian vessel Silverwind under attack, and distracted the EA forces long enough for her to escape. Lowe, along with his team, went to Earth and encountered Martin DaCosta, who had just retreated with the remaining members of the forces under supposedly fallen Andrew Waltfeld. After aiding DaCosta with repairs and against an attack from Blue Cosmos, Lowe and the Junk Guild members headed for Orb.
Shortly afterward, on a mission to bring Reverend Malchio to Orb, Lowe witnessed the battle between the GAT-X105+AQM/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam and GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam; from the wreckage, he rescued Kira Yamato. The Strike's remains was later found by Orb forces, who were sent to find Kira and Tolle Koenig, both reported as MIA in the previous battle. Lowe, after handing Kira over to Reverend Malchio, joined his comrades to work on the mobile Giga-Float mass driver.
He later returned to space with his teammates to join Liam Garfield aboard the ReHOME, a refitted tender ship for the Archangel-class assault ship. Late in the war, Prayer Reverie joined the ReHOME's crew, along with his YMF-X000A Dreadnought Gundam. Lowe later mourned upon Prayer's death. Kira and Lowe met face-to-face on September 25, C.E. 71, the day before the Second Battle of Jachin Due. After the war Lowe, rebuilt the Dreadnought into the YMF-X000A/H Dreadnought H and gave Jess Rabble the ZGMF-X12 Gundam Astray Out Frame. Afterwards he, together with Kisato Yamabuki, flew to Mars in the ReHOME, but returned two years later.

Notes & Trivia
- Similar to Kira, Lowe has his own naming sense on Gundam-type mobile suits: the former is Gundam (based on the Strike's OS) and the latter is the Astray (based on his personal MS's name).
- In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Tomo to Kimi to koko de, it's possible to get Lowe as a supporter for one level.
