In the middle of the series, Treize Kushrenada steps down as leader of OZ.  He is confined by Romefeller and presumably doesn't have much to do with his time.  What better way to while away the hours than to design a Gundam?  A quick glance at this suit is all that is needed to tell that it is very different from the other Gundams.  First, there is very little use of the color white.  While this is the main color for the other five Gundams, Epyon has only a small splash.  Also, with all of the pointed edges, this suit looks very sinister and devilish.  The others are not quite so nasty-looking.

Treize was very careful in selecting weapons for the Epyon.  There are no ranged weapons whatsoever.  It seems that the Epyon has been designed for dueling, which is no surprise considering the creator.  The claws on the arms can be used to swipe at opponents.  The main weapon, the beam sword, is attached to the suit because of the huge power consumption, especially when at maximum power.  But one of the coolest weapons on any suit is attached to the shield on the left arm.  The heat rod is a segmented metal whip that can be heated to slice through enemies with ease.  The Epyon, like the Wing Zero, also utilizes the Zero system to feed combat data to the pilot, thus increasing the abilities of the pilot.

The first to pilot this suit is Heero.  While fighting in Luxembourg, his Wing Gundam becomes disabled.  He makes his way over to where Treize waits for him and is introduced to the Gundam Epyon.  Treize tells him that he must come back a loser when piloting the Epyon.  Eventually, Heero meets Zechs, who is piloting Wing Zero, outside the Sanc Kingdom and the two have a little skirmish.  During the battle, the two suits freeze, finding that the battle could continue indefinitely, and fall to the ground.  When Romefeller forces arrive, Heero and Zechs trade suits.  Zechs then heads for space and uses the Epyon to fight as the commander of the White Fang.  The Epyon was presumably destroyed in the blast that destroyed a block of the battleship Libra.
