Duo Maxwell

Duo Maxwell: Duo Maxwell is one of the five main Gundam pilots of the series New Mobile Report Gundam Wing. From the L2 colony, he like his fellow Gundam pilots has had a very interesting childhood. His first few years were spent on the streets as part of a gang which he became a leader of after its previous leader passed away due to illness. Taken off the streets and put into an orphanage within a church, he grew close to the people who ran it. However, that life was shattered when the orphanage was caught in the crossfire between insurgents and forces from the United Earth Sphere Alliance. In return for stealing a mobile suit for the rebels so that the orphanage would be left unharmed, Duo instead returned to see it destroyed and one of the people who ran it dying in Duo’s arms.

3 years before the beginning of the series, Duo snuck upon a ship run by a group called the Sweepers. He was discovered but decided to join and came under the watch of Professor G, the creator of the Gundam Deathscythe. Selected as one of the five Gundam pilots, he was opposed to the initial plans of Operation Meteor. Professor G also had the same concerns and allowed him to steal the Deathscythe and head to Earth to commence the operation in his own fashion.

He quickly runs into Heero Yuy and the other three Gundam pilots in his attacks on Oz, the secret organization behind the United EarthSphere Alliance. Like the other four Gundam pilots, he works with outsiders, with the main one being a woman by the name of Hilde Schinbeker of who he grows fond of. Fighting against multiple foes, Duo eventually loses the Deathscythe. However, his professor along with the professors of the four other Gundam suits rebuild and re-equip the Deathscythe (now known as Deathscythe Hell) to better stand up against their enemies with Duo receiving the Deathscythe Hell.

After a yearlong series of battles against multiple foes and close brushes with death, Duo and the rest of the Gundam pilots would achieve a grand triumph as they help secure peace between Earth and the Space Colonies.

A year after the events of the TV series, Duo along with Heero and Trowa agreed to the idea of disposing their Gundams by sending them into the sun. However, when members of the Barton Foundation kidnap Relena Darlian, Duo assists Heero in rescuing her. In the process, they find that they are up against the instigators of the original Operation Meteor. He would pilot the Deathscythe Hell one last time against the mobile suits forces of the Barton Foundation. Once the crisis had passed, he like the four other Gundam pilots self-destruct their suits. Afterwards he returns to Hilde and they are last seen having lunch together.
