Once a pirate, now a convict forced to fight for Neo- Russia to free his comrades. And as an apetizer, he's got a bomb strapped to his body as insurance for good behavior. Serious, silent, and strong. He uses brute force to tame Domon in his first appearance and succeeded in the first try. Of course, it wouldn't hold for long as Domon defeated him in the formal match, Shining vs. Bolt. In the Shinjuku aftermath, he's the only one of the four who didn't get traumatized with the Devil Gundam experience. Although it pains me to admit he was beten by Allenby's berserk mode, I think, given a second chance, he could probably cream her. Hey, it took the Berserk mode to defeat him. That accounts to something right? In his rematch with Domon, he showed much improvement. He lost because of some technical malfunction. Still, I don't think he would have won either way. So he got God's arm in a suicidal hold, Domon could use his other arm to do the God Finger like he did with Sai. I do love how he and Sai teamed up in the end. It beats the George and Chibodee team up by a long shot.
