The stern pilot of the Shenlong Gundam is the proud offspring of a legendary warrior clan, who were exiled from China to a decrepit space colony by a fearful government. Wufei adheres to a strict code of honor and justice, seeking to protect the weak and punish the guilty. But his pride is something of a weak point - when pushed too far, Wufei's huge ego has a tendency to break.

Unlike the other Gundam pilots, even the relatively antisocial Heero and Trowa, Wufei prefers to operate alone and frequently seems to have a better idea what's going on than his blundering fellows. His only companion is his Gundam, which he calls "Nataku" after the Chinese mythological hero.

Chang WuFei's descends from the Changs', an esteemed family of Chinese warriors. Due to his heritage of honor and integrity, Chang abhors the Alliance. Although he has aligned himself with Sally Po and her rebels, he prefers to work alone. His shy and quiet temperament but is skilled in the martial arts.

Chang is the pilot of the Shenlong Gundam and the Altron Gundam.
