As a candidate for Neo France’s entry in the 13th Gundam Fight, Jean-Pierre Mirabeau’s Mirage Gundam was designed for powerful offensive attacks. It was equipped with four mega beam cannons in its chest, along with missile launchers in its forearms and legs. In FC 59, Neo France hosted a competition between fighters to determine who would represent the nation in the upcoming Gundam Fight. In one of the final matches, Mirabeau faced George de Sand’s Gundam Rose. Mirabeau was known for his unfair tactics, and in that battle he placed himself in front of the arena’s audience to prevent George from attacking. The King was so disgusted by this that he declared George the Gundam Fighter by default. In his anger, Mirabeau attempted to murder the King, and George’s attempt to stop him sent missiles into the crowd. After the Tragedy of Versailles, Mirabeau was sentenced to 1,000 years in prison in Neo France’s space colony. However, in FC 60 he escaped with his Mirage Gundam and flew down to Earth, where he met Master Asia and the JDG-00X Devil Gundam. After devoting himself to the Devil Gundam, Mirabeau traveled to the Guiana Highlands to fight George. The power of the DG cells created an extra missile launcher on the Mirage Gundam’s back, with a nearly unlimited supply of missiles. George ultimately defeated Mirabeau and used his power as a member of the Shuffle Alliance to cleanse Mirabeau of the DG cell infection.
