An unnamed soldier is the son of the Red Ribbon Army head scientist Dr. Gero. He is mentioned in an interview with the Dragon Ball manga series author, Akira Toriyama, in one of the Dragon Ball Full Color Androids Saga volumes.

Biography

Dr. Gero's son was a high-ranking Red Ribbon soldier, but fell to an enemy's bullet. In his affection, Gero modeled a powerful Android after him, Android 16. As he did not want to risk him being destroyed in battle, Dr. Gero deliberately programmed the Android to be non-aggressive.[1]

In Dragon Ball FighterZ it is stated by Android 21 that her son became the model for Android 16, strangely however it is also stated that she never met Dr. Gero and did not even know his name.

Trivia

  • The loss of his son may be another reason behind Dr. Gero's vendetta against Goku, as Goku destroyed the army Gero's son gave his life fighting for.
