Well I ran into something I didn't realize about Mu earlier this week that could play into this in the long run.

In a G SEED discussion earlier this week (not sure what BBS), someone was commenting that some of the names of the characters in Gundam SEED seem to have meanings related to said characters. In particular Rau Le Creuset last name means "crucible" in French. It then occured to me that I didn't know what "Flaga" or "Endymion" (as in Hawk of Endymion, Mu's nickname) meant. I still haven't figure out what Flaga (or even Fllaga) is suppose to mean but I had to go when I looked up "Endymion."

Now I knew "Endymion" was a place on the Moon, and that most likely made him or her a character out of Greek or Latin mythology, but I didn't know the story behind the name. So I looked it up. It seems Endymion was a lover of Seline, the Greek moon goddess, and he was granted eternal life via eternal sleep (some webpages I found on this are
http://www.pantheon.org/articles/e/endymion.html
http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Endymion.html ).

Anyway, I'm not sure if this has any real importants on this discussion other than Rau did act as a "crucible" in Gundam SEED, so maybe the names occasionally have clues to the storylines .
