Elran is an Earth Federation General stationed aboard General Revil's Big Tray. Elran is secretly colluding with Captain M'Quve of the Zeons, and receives order from him via a soldier named Judoch. As Operation Odessa approaches, M'Quve orders him to restrain the Federation's forces on certain fronts. When Amuro and Sayla spot Judoch's plane leaving from Zeon controlled territory, they follow it to the Big Tray and Amuro presents Elran proof that Judoch is a spy. Elran pulls a gun on Amuro, planning to kill him, but the conversation had been monitored and Elran is arrested.
