Kuzzey is one of Kira's classmates from the Heliopolis technical college, who escapes the destruction of the space colony aboard the Earth Alliance warship Archangel. Unlike his comrades he harbors some prejudice against Coordinators, and doesn't entirely trust Kira. Nonetheless, he joins his friends in volunteering to help out around the ship, and is assigned to the Archangel's bridge crew as a communications operator.
