Personality & Character
Miguel is a head-strong and somewhat arrogant individual, with a disposition is hardly that of a soldier. He normally underestimates his Natural opponents, however, putting his life on the line to pay for his brother's medical bills also shows a mature, caring side.
Skills & Abilities
This feisty warrior goes by the "Magic Bullet Of Dusk" on the battlefield due to his custom GINN, the ZGMF-1017 Miguel's GINN, which is the same color as the dusk-orange sky and great skill with a MMI-M8A3 76mm heavy assault machine gun. He is one of ZAFT green uniform ace pilots before the Heliopolis Tragedy. On one occasion, Miguel showed his formidable skill by fighting on par with Serpent Tail ace pilot Gai Murakumo.

History
First Alliance-PLANT War
Miguel joined ZAFT in order to pay for his sick younger brother's medical fees. Miguel participated in the transferring of the asteroid base Nova to the PLANTs territory. He agreed reluctantly to this normally "boring" task, but he soon engaged Mu La Flaga during an Earth Alliance attack.[1]
In September of C.E. 70, after the graduation of the Le Creuset Team's Reds, Miguel met all 5 of them at a military base in the PLANT Homeland. Miguel spoke to Athrun Zala and Nicol Amalfi (and very casually at that) who have arrived early and introduced himself, even though he was a bit annoyed that the other three pilots didn't come; he thought it was a pain to have to re-explain everything over again. It was here that he learned that Athrun was top in the knife-fighting class, followed by Yzak Joule and Nicol. Miguel was so impressed that Athrun beat the knife-fighting class teacher "Fred of the Knife", who only fought the best-of-the-best, in a one-on-one match and challenged Athrun himself and lost with a knife to his throat. He also told Athrun and Nicol to not ask their new commander about his mask, because the last person that asked just happened to die, rather suspiciously, in battle soon afterwards. Nicol and Athrun looked up to their new mentor in a new light after he told them he had real battle experience.[2]
In January C.E. 71, the Nazca-class vessel Vesalius, under the command of Rau Le Creuset was sent out to investigate the mysterious destruction of ZAFT supply bases. While on patrol, Miguel discovered the culprit behind the attacks: Serpent Tail mercenary Gai Murakumo. The ZGMF-1017 Miguel's GINN was damaged in combat with ZGMF-1017 Gai's GINN, forcing Miguel to switch to a standard ZGMF-1017 GINN for the attack on Heliopolis on January 25.[3]
Battle of Heliopolis
During the attack on Heliopolis, Miguel, piloting a ZGMF-1017 GINN, tried to capture the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam after hearing from Athrun that Rusty Mackenzie - the ZAFT pilot who was supposed to capture it - had been killed, and that the Strike Gundam was being piloted by an Earth Alliance soldier (Murrue Ramius). However, Athrun failed to mention that Kira Yamato, his childhood friend, was also in the cockpit, and that Kira was a Coordinator. Miguel told Athrun to retreat and protect the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam from being damaged and then tried to take on the Strike himself. Seeing that his friends Sai Argyle, Kuzzey Buskirk, Miriallia Haw, and Tolle Koenig were in the vicinity, Kira took control of Strike and fought back, ultimately disabling the GINN. Defeated, Miguel quickly set the GINN's self-destruct sequence and escaped before it exploded.[4]
Miguel, believing that the Strike's pilot was a Natural, felt humiliated for losing and over-zealously returned to fight the Strike to restore his pride. Using another standard GINN, Miguel fought against Kira's GAT-X105+AQM/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam in Heliopolis, and was killed when his mobile suit's cockpit was sliced by the Sword Strike's "Schwert Gewehr" 15.78m Anti-ship Sword; becoming the first person killed in action by Kira.[5]

Notes & Trivia
- He is the equivalent to Gene from the Universal Century timeline, being the protagonist's first opponent who is killed by having his mobile suit sliced in half.
- Miguel Aiman along with Nicol Amalfi and Athrun Zala had their stories developed more fully in a combined Drama/Music CD produced under the title "Gundam SEED - Suits Vol. 4 - Miguel Ayman And Nicol Amalfi".
- Miguel's character was created as a tribute to Takanori Nishikawa (aka T.M. Revolution), his voice actor, as was Heine Westenfluss in SEED Destiny. His support group, DEFRÖCK, was a homage to his fashion brand of the same name.
- Miguel's memorial stone indicates he was born in C.E. 52 and died in C.E. 71—age 19.
- Strangely, the MSV opening of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Never Ending Tomorrow shows Miguel fighting Morgan Chevalier's GAT-01A1+AQM/E-X04 Gunbarrel Dagger in his custom GINN, even though he died long before the Gunbarrel Dagger was produced.
