John Kowen ジョン・コーウェン
Birth Date: U.C. 0025
John Kowen is the commander of the Third Earth Orbital Fleet of the Earth Federation Space Force, with the rank of Lieutenant General. He is in charge of the Gundam Development Project, which is part of the Federation Forces reconstruction plan. He belongs to the reformist faction, which was a minority within the Federation Forces at the time. As a result, he is demoted to Rear Admiral and loses his position due to the political maneuvering of the conservative faction, but he does everything within his power to help the reluctant military deal with Operation Stardust.
