The Elyan is the chosen Knightmare Frame of Gino Weinburg, the Britannian Empire's Knight of Three in Code Geass Megiddo.
Appearance[]
More or less the Megiddo version of the Vincent. It's colored in the Royal Guard scheme, i.e. blue-green with gold.
Design[]
One of the first seventh-generation Knightmare Frames to be derived after the Mordred and Lancelot, the Elyan was designed strictly for higher mobility and offensive power. Compared to its predecessors, its design still differs greatly with some key elements not being carried over, namely the VARIS Rifle and Blaze Luminous shielding systems. The goal was to ultimately make the unit as simple and as economical as possible, while still maintaining a level of performance and efficiency worthy of a Knight of the Round.
Like the Mordred and Lancelot, the Elyan has two factsphere sensors that are mounted within its shoulders. It is also equipped with Slash Harkens, although there are only two, which are mounted on both of the hips. Beyond these, its equipped with Maser Vibration Swords (MVS), though unlike those its cousins, the Elyan's weapons are shaped like spears instead of traditional long swords, and both can be attached at the hilts to form a double-bladed MVS lance.
The Elyan also incorporates a type of armament known as the "Needle Blazer." This fixed device is located in both of its elbows, was developed from the same technology which powered the Lancelot's "Blaze Luminous" maser shields. it works by emitting a short-range blast of highly focused energy that can penetrate through a Knightmare's armor with devastating effect, destroying the frame and killing its pilot instantly. Finally, the Elyan is equipped with a second set of landspinners which are mounted in its shoulders, as well as having the two standard-issue landspinners located on the feet. Though an odd feature at first glance, the addition of these extra landspinners ultimately gives the Elyan much more mobility, as it is able to achieve far greater evasive maneuvers than what other knightmares would be capable of using only two landspinners.
History[]
Created for the usage of Gino Weinburg, Knight of Three, and "Eagle of Britannia", the Elyan is one of the first new generation units to be fielded by the Knights of the Round. When the Great World War emerges, the Elyan would be deployed with its devicer to North Africa under the command of Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, fighting alongside fellow Knights of the Round Anya Alstreim and Suzaku Kururugi in the process. Besides the many battles, he would fight in Africa, Gino would also engage in battle in Pendragon, where the newly reemerged Order of the Black Knights would stage a raid to liberate their leader. Although the latter battle would leave Gino greatly traumatized over his personal conflicts and loyalties, the Knight of Three would remain faithful to Britannia and fight the Black Knights for his own convictions.
