Two theories regarding Mobius 1. First, he was formerly known as Scarface 1, Phoenix. This theory is heavily implied and supported in the debriefing of Fighter's Honor. It's said that Phoenix will be needed in near future, so it's impossible for him to leave after getting a certain contract. The extraordinary skills possessed by Mobius 1 isn't built instantly. He's clearly a veteran, but the closest war veteran to his timeline is Scarface 1. It's stated very clearly that Cipher and Phoenix are not the same person, it was said by Sergei Brynner, a former Belkan Air Force pilot who met Cipher in the Belkan War. It was never said that Mobius 1 was a newbie. Phoenix was offered a contract to support the ISAF to push back the Erusians. He was assigned to the purpose built Mobius Squadron, to honor his uncountable kills from his earlier career. A newbie wouldn't be assigned to a squadron without a proper squadron leader. Mobius 1 was assigned to the squadron alone, the very same condition as his earlier Scarface Squadron. He might be new to ISAF air force, but not new in aerial combat. From their aircraft of choice, in the updated storyline, Scarface 1 flew an F-22, Mobius 1 flew an F-22, once a pilot is familiar with his aircraft, he's unlikely to change into a new one. Phoenix has an experience fighting advanced weapons such as Fortress Intolerance and ADF-01. Mobius 1 took on Megalith and X-02 squadron like it was nothing. Phoenix once flew a mission under heavy jamming and other handicaps, similar conditions happen to Mobius 1 and he prevailed, clearly he's used to such situation. Theory two, Mobius 1 is the student of Phoenix. Phoenix never leave USEA because he was offered a contract as an instructor in the newly built ISAF, the successor of the USEAn Allied Forces. In this theory, Yellow 13 was the former student of Edgar Grint, Albireo Leader. So AC04 was basically a clash between two students of two former aces.
