Ron Mangan is one of the main characters in Zoids: Genesis, an anime based on TOMY's Zoids model franchise.
Personality
A doctor and member of Garaga's guerilla band, he is also a skilled tactician. He provides a thoughtful and calm approach in contrast to Garaga's use of brute force, and sees great potential in Ruuji. Because of his many travels, he's a well-educated man on the road and also knows a few things about Zoid characteristics. He theorizes that Ruuji's Murasame Liger became Hayate Liger through an event called Evolt. As their journey progresses, Ron shows both Ruuji and Mii the mysteries of the planet as they travel as merchants to avoid detection. It is revealed that Ron knows those who safeguard Zi's past relics from the time before the great disaster. He helps Ruuji by forming relations with various people to increase their chances of winning against Digald. In a surprise attack by Major Zairin's Volcano, Ron distracts Volcano long enough to self-destruct, stopping Volcano from going after Ruuji and Mii. Ron survives by abandoning his Zoid at the last moment to ride in the Murasame Liger. To everyone's surprise, Ron appeared with a replacement Bamburian, citing that he had an extra one transported to him by his merchant friends.
Ron would eventually reveal himself to be an agent of Sora City. While other members of Sora's council didn't feel Digald would pose a problem, Ron actively investigates Digald's activities. He suspects Jiin's lust for power would eventually be a problem and actively gave Ruuji's group a tactical advantage when it counted the most. At the height of the war, he supplied the Suppression Army with Leeo alloy (or metal Zi) ammunition that contributed to the victory of the war against Jiin. At first, Ron's actions would get him in trouble with his superiors as soon as the group traveled to Sora City with Gildragon, and was briefly incarcerated. He was only released when a massive squad of Bio Raptor Guis, led by the traitorous Sora City agent Felme, attacked the city, thus changing the council's opinion altogether. He later assists the Suppression Army in the final battle against Jiin's Bio Tyranno.
With his home destroyed, it is not known where he ends up after the war.

Bamburian
Main Article: Bamburian
Ron's first Bamburian was used to distract Bio Volcano in an altercation and the self destruct sequence was activated to give Ruuji and Mii enough time to run. The zoid was destroyed, but not the pilot, and Ron recovered his "spare" Bamburian afterwards.
Bamburian
Main Article: Bamburian
After Ron's first Bamburian was destroyed, he received a second from the people of Sora City. This Zoid became vital in the Suppresion Army's battles as it was used to set up missile launchers that could fire independent of a Zoid, killing many Bio Raptors without giving away the Bamburian's position.
