The grizzled Revil, though not the supreme leader of the Federal Forces, is certainly their most famous and respected general. Captured early in the war, Revil escaped Zeon captivity and returned to Earth just in time to bully the Federation government out of total surrender with his famous "There are no warriors in Zeon" speech. Later in the war he commands the Federation's major counteroffensives, Operation Odessa and Operation Star One, but is killed by Zeon's Solar Ray during peace negotiations with Archduke Degin Zabi.
When the White Base escapes Side 7 and makes its way to Earth, Revil becomes its unofficial patron. Familiar with Zeon Daikun's newtype theory, he tells the White Base crew that their success in battle indicates they may be the next step in evolution. But judging from his private comments, Revil simply uses the newtype label for propaganda purposes and sees the White Base as a useful decoy for the superstitious Zeons. Still, he takes good care of the ship and its crew.
