Haken Browning (ハーケン・ブロウニング) is a fictional character in the Super Robot Wars OG Saga series and the protagonist of Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier. He is a cool, chivalrous, yet slightly perverted (though it is implied that this is because of his foster fathers influence as his father is shown acting in a similar manner) 23-year-old bounty hunter from Lost Herencia. He was originally found by John Moses on the Mai Tierra being cradled by Aschen Brodel and they are both adopted by him, upon growing up he takes over Moses's job of managing the ship Zeit Krokodil (Time Crocodile in German), serving as its captain and is noted to be similar to his mother in many ways including their penchant for reckless almost insane plans.

Haken considers himself to be an "Amateur Ladies' Man", and often tries to chat up beautiful women he comes across. The only real exception to this is Aschen, whom he considers more like a mother or sister. He also has a habit of giving nicknames to the people he meets, both friends and enemies. He takes this surprisingly seriously, such as the time he nicknamed an enemy Skull Knight, only to find that really was his given name.

His weaponry consist of a customized rifle with a built-in pile bunker and bayonet called the Night Fowl and a long-barreled handgun called the Longtomb Special. Haken's move-set consist of gunplay and an explosive set of playing cards. In addition to his own abilities, Haken is also often accompanied by the Phantom, a three-meter-tall robot resembling a miniaturized Gespenst.

History[]

Endless Frontier[]

Endless Frontier begins with Haken and Aschen preparing to explore the Mai Tierra, having obtained the license to do so. Inside the ship, they find princess Kaguya Nanbu of Kagura Amahara. After finding out about the bounty to return her safely to her home, They travel back to her world, but eventually get caught up in a mystery involving crystals growing in infesting areas around the Endless Frontier worlds, the wandering war machines Gespenst Phantom, Alteisen Nacht, and Weissreiter Abend, Arkgain and many more.

Over the course of this adventure, Haken finds the truth of his origin deep within the bowels of the Mai Tierra: He is W00, the intial of the W-Series from the Shadow-Mirror. But rather than a bioroid, Haken is a genetically-engineered human designed to be a combat soldier and pilot. After having determined that it would take too long for such soldiers to grow up, the W-Series project was switched over to androids instead. The infant Haken was placed inside a tube on the Trilobite-class battleship Neverland, which was lost in the dimensional jump from the Shadow-Mirror universe. The rear half, containing Haken and the first samples of the W-Numbers ended up in Lost Herencia, where he and Aschen (W07) were found by John Moses.

Endless Frontier EXCEED[]

Project X Zone[]

On another expedition through the Schlaffen Celeste, Haken and Kaguya encounter Sanger Zonvolt, who suddenly appears in one of the ship's teleporters. This takes them through a whirlwind encounter against an organization trying to merge several worlds together. Fighting alongside a motley collection of soldiers, adventurers, and martial artists, they manage to defeat the organization and return to the Endless Frontier.

The Moon Dwellers[]

Having inadvertently brought Sanger back to the Frontier, Haken tries to use the Shafen Celeste's teleporter to return him to his own universe, using the data from Axel and Kouta's previous arrival. However, a malfunction (further forced by Aschen) brings both Haken and Aschen to the New A.D. Earth as well. Stuck on a tiny island in the south pacific, they quickly find themselves caught in a fight between two forces who traces the energy of the Celeste's teleportation beam. Fortunately, one of the factions was the ship Kurogane, which picked them up. Inside the ship's hold, Haken was surprised to find a giant copy of the Phantom: The Gespenst Haken.
