Garma Zabi was the fourth child of the Zabi family and the commander of the Principality of Zeon Earth Attack Force during the One Year War.
Garma was extremely popular among the people of Zeon. It was said that this was not only the result of his appearance and Zeon propaganda, but also because he possessed a natural charisma. Underneath the glamorous exterior, however, Garma was defined by a constant need for validation, both from the rest of the Zabis and the people of Zeon. Being a member of Zeon's ruling family, and having become the supreme commander of the Earth Attack Force at such a young age, he was determined to prove that he did not receive his position based on family connections alone.
In private, Garma demonstrated a purity and immaturity befitting of his age, going as far as promising to his lover Icelina Eschonbach that he was prepared to abandon Zeon to marry her. He also genuinely considered Char Aznable a dear friend, completely unaware of his ulterior motives.
He had a tic of playing with his bangs with his hand.
