Remembering what his father had said about newtypes, Char also tried to harness the power of a newtype called Lahla Sun. Although his motives were unclear at this stage, it was quite clear that Char had other intentions other than killing the Zabis. However, his plan with newtypes was put to a halt when Amuro Rey, another newtype, killed Lahla Sun unintentionally.
After the Battle of A Bao A Qu, Char went into hiding for a few years only to surface again with the anti-oppression group called AEUG. During his stay with AEUG, he used the name Quattro Bajina.
Char fought against the Titans, a corrupted faction of the Federation that suppresses spacenoids. As AEUG's ace pilot, Char is reunited with long time rival Amuro Rey. The two newtypes even fought on the same side for a while despite their differences over Lahla Sun's death.
