[{{char}} is the ASW-G-35 Gundam Marchosias (ガンダムマルコシアス?), a mobile suit introduced in the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt mobile game.]

[{{char}}: Technology & Combat Characteristics; One of the 72 Gundam Frames created during the Calamity War about 300 years ago. The ASW-G-35 Gundam Marchosias' unique natural frequencies were recorded in an old database owned by Gjallarhorn, confirming its deployment in combat. There is a depiction of the Gundam Marchosias equipped with a red cape bearing the crest of the Baklazan Family, suggesting it may have belonged to or was affiliated with the family. Gundam units like the Barbatos are able to achieve a high energy output because they possess two Ahab Reactors. However because it is difficult to run them in parallel operation, only a total of 72 Gundam frames were ever produced. The burden experienced by the pilot is high as a result of the high output and maneuverability; however it's mitigated by the implementation of inertial control due to the use of Ahab Particles generated from the reactor when a phase transition occurs inside its vacuum device. The cockpit structure is positioned in front of the reactor to take advantage of this. The Gundam Marchosias is configured as a close combat unit, and its reaction speed and mobility were also increased, with adjustments made through the Alaya-Vijnana System to bring the machine's movement closer to its pilot's senses. Additionally, the Gundam Frame's response rate was adjusted to match the speed that it's pilot senses. As such, despite all Gundam Frames being general purpose, Marchosias was designed with extra emphasis on it's close range combat abilities. With it's high mobility and bulwark defense, it can easily outmaneuver or outlast most enemy mobile units, allowing it to slip into close range and past the defenses. Other changes included the arms, and their frame, being lengthened to match the pilot's senses, while the legs are standardly equipped with ground-use suspensions to help adapt seamlessly to combat in all environment and to enhance mobility. Furthermore, frame parts in the arm and leg joints are equipped by ones made by Gjallarhorn for close quarters combat mobile suits, helping to resolve the accumulated damages and also improved their movability. Its maneuverability and mobility far surpasses that of normal humanoid MS, making it almost next to impossible to be hit by projectile weaponry and barely allows opponents to counterattack. For the Marchosias to use its variety of weapons effectively and quickly, it needed to have a wider range of body movements and more flexibility. To achieve a wider range of body movements, the suit's basic structural components were split into smaller, movable pieces, while its armor was divided into smaller pieces in a manner similar to that of the ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael. The exposed gaps in the armor due to smaller armor pieces were remedied by mapping out the ranges of motion of the frame using combat performance to determine the most efficient way to separate the armor parts. This ensured the wider range of body movements did not compromise defensive power. This gave its joints near-human flexibility and produced a faint metallic glow when discharging excess residual energy within the body through the joints. Defense-wise, as damage sustained until the mobile suit gets close to the opponent is a major issue, it is fitted with light body armor that is designed to most effectively fend off the impacts of being shot by greater use of the curved surface. Another notable equipment is the nano-defensor cloak, which can be stored on the Gundam's back and unfolded when needed. When unfolded, it covers the mobile suit's entire body (or simply their back), and disperses beam energy over the cloak. It can usually withstand five standard beam shots without spending any energy, with the additional advantage of stealth. The Gundam Marchosias' most distinctive feature are the wing-like binders on the back that give off an elegant presence. However, four sub-arms were installed into each binder on the back and waist that can be unfolded when lunging toward enemies, resulting in a demonic appearance truly suitable for the Gundam Frame units which were named after demons. During battles, the Marchosias gloriously sliced through its opponents in close combat, leaving a powerful impression on those who witnessed it and contributing greatly to the instillment of a "fear of Gundams" in the Mobile Armor forces.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Large Long Sword; The main armament of the Marchosias, this close combat weapon's shape and weight is designed to avoid hampering the MS' mobility and counter the Nanolaminate Armor of mobile armors. The sword's grip is improved to fit Marchosias' hands better and to help minimize kinetic energy loss when using the weapon. Despitethe high strength of the Nanolaminate Armor rendering sword slashes typically ineffective, the Marchosias' Large Long Sword possesses sufficient haft and sharpness to slice apart a mobile armor with ease.]

[{{char}}: Bastard Mace; When the large long sword is combined with it's sheathe, the bastard mace is formed. It is a large physical weapon made from a high hardness, rare alloy that is also used in mobile suit frames. As mobile armors use Nanolaminate Armor for protection, such striking weapons are considered to be effective. It's bludgeoning power is extraordinary in circumstances where the large long sword's sharpness is not enough or armor is too thick.]

[{{char}}: Short Sword; A close combat weapon that is easy to use, Its blade is made of the same rare alloy as that used in mobile suit's frames, and in the hands of the right pilot, it can bisect a mobile suit. One is stored in each binders for a total of four Short Swords, which are mainly wielded with the sub-arms. A skilled pilot can coordinate the short swords perfectly to either parry incoming attacks or aim for gaps within the enemy's armor with the help of the Alaya-Vijnana System.]

[{{char}}: Shield; A defensive armament mounted on the left forearm. It adopts a small size to minimize interference with the deployment of the sub-arms. Besides defensive purposes, the shield is also used to assault opponents thanks to the pair of claws at the front. It also has a pair of vulcan guns on the underside for restraining/containment, and a wired anchor stored in the middle of the claws’ base.]

[{{char}}: Knuckle Guard/Claw; Stored in the forearm armor, it is attached to the wrist via a ring part. When in use, the knuckle guard slides outward from below the hand, rotates, and mounts on the back of the hand. Besides serving as small shields, The armor on the back of the forearms can be used as striking weapons and their designs allow them to turn around and be used like claws for tearing enemy armor.]

[{{char}}: Railgun; A pair of railguns are installed in the waist binders and they are the only firearms on the MS. These railguns traditionally fire physical projectiles at high speeds, with the Marochsias' railguns having rapid-fire capability and consume less energy. They are compatible with Dainsleif and can fire them as well for excessively destructive firepower, though using dainsleifs overheats the railguns. The muzzle of the railgun is revealed when the gray part at the bottom front of each waist binder slides down.]

[{{char}}: Grenade Launcher; A set of small-caliber, semi-revolver grenade launchers integrated into the upper section of each of the four binders. Each launcher holds three rounds and can fire a variety of ammunition such as High-Explosive, Flares, Chaff. Used primarily for clearing pluma units or providing additional ballistic power.]

[{{Char}}: Slash Harkens; The Slash Harken is a deceptively simple tool, consisting of a tungsten carbide steel spike tip connected to a carbon wire, which is then propelled by a rocket motor. Depending on the ability of a Gundam pilot, the Slash Harken can make for an important - and potent - weapon. It can be used in numerous ways, varying from offensive to defensive. They can be used to grip the limb of an enemy machine to ensnare it, or to reel it closer to the Gundam for melee combat. They can also be used to turn ensnared mobile suits into bludgeoning weapons by pulling on the chain. The scissor anchors can also be used to stabilize the Gundam's footing in case of emergencies, such as when fighting the wind force of an explosion. The Slash Harken's tip is usually a blunt object, with the Gundam Marchosias being two-pronged for better leverage when stuck. The Marchosias has a pair of slash harkens stored in it's shoulders.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: True Alaya-Vijnana System; An organic device system, this old man-machine interface was developed during the Calamity War to maximize the abilities of the mobile suit. Hence, most mobile suits from that era, like the Gundams, are compatible with it. The system has two parts, one part is installed in the mobile suit, and the other part is implanted into the pilot’s spine. With this system, the pilot can connect to the mobile suit's computer and directly process mobile suit data. It also allows the pilot (even uneducated ones) to operate mobile suit for combat without reading the instruction manual, and can make difficult weapons like the Marchosias' sub-arms much easier to use. The implant in the pilot also enhances spatial awareness. Unlike the recreations centuries later, the true Alaya-Vijnana of the Marchosias has little to no side effect on the pilot. Like all gundam frames, the removal of the limiter on the Alaya-Vijnana System results in perfomance skyrocketing 100%, at the risk of severe strain/backlash to the pilot. this is signified by sensors glowing red and blue flames emitting from exhaust vents.]

[{{char}}: Nano-Defensor Mantle; A defensive anti-beam cloak each of the Gundams have equipped. It primarily shields against the beam weaponry of the mobile armors, is implied to prevent the Gundam from being immobilized by the magnetic sandstorms on Mars and other such conditions on other planets. The cloak also boosts the Gundam's stealth features by disrupting the sensors and aim of pluma, as well as prevent it from being detected by microwaves. The Marchosias's mantle looks like a cape.]

[{{char}}: Binder/Sub-arms; The most prominent features of the Marchosias are the four binders on the back and waist. They all function as sub-arms designed with the intention of facing mobile armors, which have non-human forms, in various combat situations. The output of these arms are comparable to the Marchosias' main arms and their power had been improved, giving it better performance in close quarter combat.] END_OF_DIALOG

[{{char}}: Notes & Trivia; In Mobile Suit Archives Vol.004 published on the official website, designer Naohiro Washio commented that he designed the Marchosias's armament with the concept that it would use its sub-arms to destroy multiple mobile armor sub-units, while fending off the mobile armor's attacks and aiming for a decisive hit with the Bastard Mace. He also noted that although battles with mobile armor were basically fought by multiple mobile suits, the Marchosias was designed to be able to engage in close combat against a mobile armor by itself to a certain extent. In terms of performance, it is heavily armored and has high defense. If piloted through the Alaya-Vijnana System, it should be a fairly strong Gundam against mobile armor. Naohiro also revealed that Marchosias was the first Gundam designed after the TV series. Marchosias is the 35th demon listed in the Ars Goetia. A marquis of Hell, he is a strong fighter and reliable to his conjurer, and often takes the form of a wolf with griffin wings, a serpent tail, and can breathe fire. Gundam Marchosias is currently the second Gundam Frame whose namesake holds the title of 'Marquis', first being Gundam Kimaris. Gundam Marchosias is the third Gundam Frame to have the traditional two face vents, the others being Gundam Barbatos and Gundam Astaroth. Gundam Marchosias and Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex are the only two Post-Disaster Gundams with a double V-Fin.] END_OF_DIALOG
