Заацбарум

A Count and a member of the Orbital Knights. He is a middle aged man with medium length brown hair and eyes. He wears the traditional Orbital Knights uniform which consists of a burgundy coat and trousers, a white dress shirt underneath, and knee high black boots. During the first Earth-Mars War, he was sent to Tanegashima in his Kataphrakt, the Dioscuria, along side his fiancé to fight. However, when Heaven's Fall occurred, Saazbaum barely managed to escape alive with the help of Dr. Troyard at the cost of his fiancé's life.

After this tragedy, Saazbaum blames everything on the Royal Family of Vers which ignited him to take part in the assassination attempt on Princess Asseylum.

Count Saazbaum appears to be a blood thirsty and violent man who seeks the destruction of all Terrans and Earth. However, he has another objective which is to seek vengeance on the Royal Family of Vers after causing the incident that killed his fiancé. Count Saazbaum adopts Slaine and treats him respectfully as his father was the one who saved his life. He holds a great amount of trust towards him, going as far to tell him his own goals and vengeance towards the Royal Family of Vers.

He is the pilot of the Martian Kataphrakt Dioscuria and it's successor, the Dioscuria II.

Count Saazbaum is later on killed by Slaine. He was hit by a high speed debris cluster that was meant to kill Inaho.
