- EXTRA INFORMATION:
- Duo was not a native of Colony V08744 (one of the L-2 colonies), but "wandered" there by himself, presumably as a stowaway, when he was seven. There he met up with a group of street kids orphaned by the war. The oldest boy, Solo, was their leader. A virus swept the colony, and the Federation quickly came up with a cure for themselves and the colonists who could afford to buy it. But no medicine was provided to the homeless children, and Solo was dying. So Duo, an enterprising seven year old, stole some from a hospital. Unfortunately, it was too late for Solo. He told Duo that he wished they could have spent more time together. Duo was touched, since no one had cared about him before. He said they would be together always, and decided his own name would be Duo.
As for his last name, when he was taken in by the priestand Sister Helen, he became known as "Maxwell Church's Duo." On this poor colony, many people didn't have last names, and there was nothing unusual about Duo's case. After the massacre, he took the name "Duo Maxwell." So he himself chose both his first and last names, in memory of and tribute to those who had cared about him.
