Despite helping evacuate the colonists to safety, Grodek has a prison warrant on him due to his insubordination, a fact he hides from his crew mates. His true intentions are to make use of Diva and the Gundam to attack the UE's base in vengeance for his wife and daughter's deaths during "The day the Angel Fell". After the fall of Ambat, Grodek took the responsibility for his and his comrades' insubordination and was sentenced to prison.
