Mobius 1

"I do know one thing: Heroes really do exist. We've just seen one, and now he's coming home."

- AWACS Sky Eye

Mobius One is the player character of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, and is perhaps the greatest ace of his time. He was one of the key tools to success for the Independent State Allied Forces (ISAF) during the Usean Continental War.

Ace Combat 04
On his first combat mission, Mobius One single handedly shot down six Tu-95 Bear bombers, along with their escorts at New Field Island. After that Mobius One continued to perform unbelievably well in combat operations afterwards at a godly and inhuman level. In particular, he is credited for the destruction of the Erusean super-weapons Stonehenge and Megalith. He also is the first pilot to shoot down a member of the world renowned and feared Erusean ace fighter pilot unit known as Yellow Squadron, personally shooting down both Yellow Four (when that squadron responded to his destruction of Stonehenge) and Yellow Thirteen (during the Siege of Farbanti). He was the involved in such operations as: Mobius One was a part of the 118th Tactical Fighter Wing through out the entire war, but during Operation Judgment Day the entire squadron officially was renamed Mobius Squadron in honor of him in the squadron's last official mission.
 * Operation Rough Seas: A strike role in the sinking of the "Invincible" Aegir Fleet.
 * Operation Countdown: One of the defending air superiority pilots of the launch of a key ISAF satellite during the largest air battle since Operation Battle-Axe of the Belkan War, believed to have involved over three hundred aircraft. He made some key achievements, shooting down an SR-71 Blackbird, E-767 AWACS, KC-10A Extender, 6 B-2A Spirit's, and hitting a member of the Yellow Squadron, possibly Yellow 13.
 * Operation Bunker Shot: A close air support role during an ISAF amphibious landing on the southern coast of the mainland, allowing them to begin to retake the continent.
 * Operation Stone Crusher: A major strike role in the destruction of the superweapon Stonehenge, a turning point in the war, and the death of Yellow 4. This event led to him gaining worldwide fame.
 * Operation Fire Fly: A pivotal ace during the eve of the emancipation of San Salvacion, and the destruction of much of the Yellow Squadron, except for Yellow 13, who's plane was damaged by Mobius 1.
 * Operation Autumn Thunder: A leading ISAF pilot at the siege and capture of the Erusean capital city Farbanti. The (probable but unconfirmed) death of Yellow 13.
 * Operation Judgment Day: A role which is responsible for the destruction of Megalith and the end of the war. He and the squadron also took down the last of the Yellow Squadron in that bat1323px-AC4_F22_Mobius_One_official_artwork.jpg.Ace_Combat_4_Shattered_Skies_6092_800_600.jpg

Operation Katina
In 2006, he returned to Erusea to defeat the last of the Erusean extremists calling themselves "Free Erusea." Only Mobius One and AWACS Sky Eye were sent, but together they effectively crushed the resistance putting a halt to their operations; after the Usean Continental War it was discovered that Mobius One's combat ability rivaled that of an entire ISAF squadron. During the last battle against free Erusea, Mobius One was engaged by four X-02 Wyverns. Despite this he managed to destroy them and returned to base safely.

Note that Mobius 1 was the first individual in Ace Combat series that receives a nickname, "The Grim Reaper".

In Ace Combat Zero
He appears as the final ace that the player must duel in the mission "The Gauntlet" in Ace Combat Zero. He opens with a four-missile AMRAAM salvo and can shoot missiles backwards, just like the Gelb Squadron. He is considered to be one of the hardest enemies in the game, and to face him, you must be playing on "Ace" difficulty and must shoot down the Espada team within one minute. Because Mobius One has lightning quick maneuvers, even a high-end aircraft struggles to keep up. Furthermore, the paint scheme of his F-22A Raptor appears in the game as the "Soldier" paint scheme for the F-22A in normal game-play, complete with ISAF roundels and Ribbon insignia.
