Epsilon is one of the world’s top robots, powered by photon energy from sunlight. Unlike others, he refused to fight in the 39th Central Asia War, saying there was no justice in it, and was criticized heavily by the public. Epsilon’s creator, Dr. Newton, wanted an end to war, so Epsilon avoids violence unless he needs to protect others. His power could destroy a city in an instant, but he chooses to use it only to help. After being sent as punishment to the Kingdom of Persia as a peacekeeper, he saw the horrors of war and adopted orphaned children. Even though people criticized him as a draft dodger playing the role of a father, Epsilon was loved by the kids and staff. Later, he gave his life to protect others, asking them to look after the Earth in his place.
