Nemo

Origin: Tartessos, Africa

Nemo is the captain of the submarine called Nautilus, whose purpose is to destroy the Neo-Atlanteans at all costs. He is a mysterious man with a dark past. Though he could have all mankind under his command, he chooses to live peacefully along with them on Earth, as he believes in humans and in their ability to love. While he acts cold and aloof when he first meets Jean, he nonetheless warms up to his outgoing cheerfulness and enthusiasm. Nadia, meanwhile, is very distrustful of him and is quick to accuse him of murder when he shoots a Neo-Atlantean to save her from death. ~!However, she eventually learns to respect Nemo, and, at the end, at last acknowledges him as her father. Nemo then dies after overloading the Neo Nautilis's reactors to blow a passage out of Red Noah, permitting the rest of the cast to return to Earth.!~ _He is based on Captain Nemo of the Jules Verne novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. He also bears a striking resemblance to another famous anime captain, [Bruno J. Global](https://anilist.co/character/24667/) of the SDF-1 Macross in [Macross](https://anilist.co/anime/1088/). Additionally, he wears a uniform similar to Captain [Juzo Okita](https://anilist.co/character/6770/) from [Space Battleship Yamato](https://anilist.co/anime/1650/)._
