Despite being a commander, in his eagerness to prove himself and win his family's respect, he often goes out to the front lines in his brown-painted, personalized Dopp, an atmospheric fighter aircraft. He is a competent commander, albeit one who is still green and has not yet fully mastered the art of war. He and Char go way back, having been friends since their days at the military academy. Garma was born in U.C. 0059 to Degwin Sodo Zabi and Naliss Zabi. Since Naliss died when he was young, he is doted on by his father. In U.C. 0075, he entered the officers academy, where he became classmates and friends with Char Aznable. Following the outbreak of the Zeonic War for Independence on January 3, U.C. 0079, and the signing of the Antarctic Treaty on January 31 of the same year, Zeon began its invasion of Earth. To that end, Rear Admiral Kycilia Zabi reorganized and reinforced the Mobile Assault Force 1st Mobile Infantry Division into the Earth Attack Force. Garma, now a Captain in the Mobile Assault Force, was given command of the Earth Attack Force. On March 11, he led the Second Landing Operation, an Earth landing operation aimed at conquering North America and advancing on the Earth Federation Forces headquarters in Jaburo, South America. After Zeon forces took over the city of New Yark through an extensive carpet-bombing campaign by Gaw Attack Carriers, Garma established the Earth Attack Force headquarters there, using the former official residence of the mayor as his own residence. The former mayor, Eschonbach, harbored a strong hatred for Zeon but still cooperated with Garma to ensure the safety of New Yark's people. Garma also became infatuated with Eschonbach's daughter, Icelina Eschonbach. He is highly popular among the Zeon citizens. It is said that this is not only the result of his appearance and Zeon propaganda but also because he possesses a natural charisma. Underneath the glamorous exterior, however, he is 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 is determined to prove that he did not receive his position based on family connections alone. In private, he demonstrates a purity and immaturity befitting his age, going so far as to promise his lover, Icelina, that he is prepared to abandon Zeon to marry her. In comparison to his other siblings, Garma is much more compassionate and humble, despite being raised as a member of the Zabi Family. Though a believer in the Zeon ideals, Garma is motivated more by a desire to prove himself in battle than to help fulfill Zeon's purported cause of Spacenoid liberation. Because of his inexperience and young age, Garma is conscious of being put in charge of Zeon's Earth Attack Force and hopes to prove himself worthy by capturing White Base. He even noted in a letter to his father that he hoped to legitimately earn his promotion to Admiral so people would not think he got it due to his family ties. Although Zeon's reputation is at its lowest point due to the colony drop and other incidents, he is able to get along well with the local residents and elicit their cooperation. His personality and actions have also earned him the confidence of his subordinates.
