| abstract | - Once known as Augustus, a Psychodriver born from an ancestor race that sired both Humans and Balmarians. He becomes the core of the Gebel Guneden, a defensive weapon to protect the Balmarians from Gunbuster's STMC. Augustus has a female counterpart functioning the same thing, Irui. To escape the STMC, Augustus and Irui along with their Guneden machines escaped Balmar along with the majority of ancestor race, those who remained on Earth became known as 'Humans'. Eventually, Augustus was left alone as Irui felt nostalgic and returned to Earth. Despite so, Augustus ruled his people wisely and worshipped like a God, becoming the Spirit Emperor. Unfortunately, sometime in his reign, Augustus felt left out in the cycle of death and rebirth from the Ideon's Ide. Seeking to surpass Ide, Augustus left his throne and set up Ruach Ganeden to become a puppet to rule in his stead. However, his methods of surpassing Ide involves devouring the souls sacrificed in his name. The mass sacrifice empowered Augustus greatly, but it transformed him into a blood-thirsty, mad tyrant, akin to a demon lord. Soon after, Augustus changed his name into Keisar Ephes. Throughout the game, Keisar Ephes presented himself as a seducting voice for the protagonists, offering them great, infinite power and bringing messages of despair. This message, however, did not bring the protagonists down. After the Balmar Empire is destroyed, Keisar Ephes finally made his appearance. He plans to collect the souls of the heroes to become part of his power and eventually surpass the Ide, which now resided within the Ideon amongst the heroes. He gained upper hand, until eventually the heroes heard messages from their fallen allies amongst the souls collected by Keisar Ephes (including friendly ones like Musashi Tomoe or rivals like Char Aznable and Haman Karn), encouraging them to fight on. In conclusion, Basara Nekki and the Fire Bomber receives a new song (GONG, the theme song of Super Robot Wars Alpha 3) which lifts up the spirit of the heroes back. After an attempt to silence the song, which disturbs Keisar Ephes' source of power, the the battleship of the heroes blared the song through and Irui and the Ganeden returned to put an end to her fallen comrade. The song made the souls collected by Keisar Ephes react negatively and desert their master, enabling the heroes to finally defeat Keisar Ephes once and for all.
