Klein Sandman

The handsome billionaire businessman and commander of the Earthgertz Klein Sandmans knowledge of science and technology allows him to build the Gran Divas and the Gran Kaiser to battle the Zeravire. Sandman selects people with a high tolerance on the effects of gravity a genetically inherited trait he calls the GFactor to become the pilots of his machines. When it seems the Zeravire are too much to handle for Earthgertz Sandman approves of combining the Gran Divas and the Gran Kaiser into Gravion. In Gravion Zwei he pilots the Gran Sigma. Sandman was originally Zieg Zeravire a scientist from the ecologically devastated planet of Llambias and the husband to Lufira Zeravire. In order to stop further contamination and to prevent an allout war between the neighboring world of Selias due to Llambians forcing themselves to immigrate there Sandman creates the Genesis Machine Gran Sigma the prototype to the Gran Kaiser in hopes of restoring Llambias environment. Unfortunately his brotherinlaw Hugi Zeravire creates the Genocidron System an automatic robotic network programmed for extermination. He intended to use it on the Selians as a means to spare enough Llambians if war was to occur but Sandman did not wish to see lives sacrificed. Following a brief struggle with Hugi he accidentally destroys the control device to the Genocidron System making the machines indiscriminately destroying both worlds. Upon escaping Llambias Sandman and Raven flees to Earth. In order to conceal his identity he takes the name and appearance of the actual Klein Sandman an 18thcentury aristocrat and to provide himself the means to prepare for the Zeravire Sandman genetically enhances his own GFactor giving him immortality thus keeping his youthful appearance. Some time before Eijis arrival at SaintGermain Castle a spacecraft lands on Earth that followed his escaping vessel carrying his daughter Leele Zeravire. Sandman never knew of her existence until then. Klein Sandman makes an appearance in Juusou Kikou Dancouga Nova which is also directed by Masami Obari. Source: Wikipedia
