The background of Elan is gradually revealed in the episode 5. Elan is the enhanced human soldier created only to use the mobile suits, and Pale Tech. employees called him “Enhanced Human #4”. Elan was interested in Suletta simply because he thought Suletta was the same enhanced human soldier like him.

That is the form of human emotions”.
