Brigandier

Brigandier is a Gear piloted by Bart in Xenogears.

Description
Brigandier was excavated from the Aveh desert, then specifically customized for usage by Bart. It was the result of a lot of blood, sweat and tears from the Yggdrasil's Group Leader. The exterior design of it is based on the design of a giant wrapped in flames that made a blood compact with the king, which was a legend handed down through the Fatima dynasty in a scroll. A different variant than the Gear Heimdal, it is equipped for close skirmishes. Its main weapon is a rod and its arms are strengthened so as to increase the rod's energy damage through the shoulders. Its main generator and the condensers were restructured by the Yggdrasil's staff for greater function. As the main battleground for this Gear is the desert, it has been equipped with hover thrusters to prevent it from sinking into the sand. This enables it to travel with great speed while hovering. It is also sealed in all cracks against sand and is protected from abrasion damage.

Analysis
Brigandier is Bart's personal Gear. He first appears with it when the Yggdrasil attacks an Aveh transport vessel carrying Fei and Citan. Bart heads out in his Gear to attack and gets in a battle with Fei, who is piloting Weltall. The two of them fall into the sand below and travel through the cave together. Bart will continue to use the Gear throughout most of the first disc, and it survives a battle in the desert where Id throws the Yggdrasil on it. Unlike many of the other omnigears, Brigandier is not upgraded through aligning with an Anima Relic, but rather Bart abandons it in favor of using the separate omnigear Andvari once found. He does return to temporarily using the Brigandier after Andvari's Anima Relic is absorbed into Deus.
