Duo Maxwell

Duo Maxwell, also known as Shinigami and Father Maxwell, is one of the main characters of the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing series.
== Charactah Account ==
Duo is the pilot of XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe, one of the five Gundams sent to Earth in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.
Duo is by far the most human and sociable of the five Gundam pilots involved in Operation Meteor. On the exterior, he seems like a happy, charming, relaxed, and laid-back jokester, and for the most part he is; however, he is also a complex person with a terrible childhood that he hides from those close to him. He also deeply cares for his comrades and is never afraid to rush to their aide in battle.
Duo is trained in basic combat, showing skill with firearms throughout the series more so than hand to hand or melee weaponry. He seems to employ a number of technological gadgets when on-foot, such as a special watch and personal beam-propeller glider. As he grew up on the streets, Duo is also quite a fast and agile runner.

== Trivia ==
* Duo's voice in the animated works is provided by Toshihiko Seki (Japanese), Scott McNeil (English), Choi Won Hyeong (KOR), Erik Osorio (Latin America), Paolo Domingo (French), Francesco Orlando (Italiano) and Marcelo Campos (Brazilian).
* Duo is the only Gundam pilot of the main five to have never overcome the effects of the Zero System.
* In the censored english dub of Gundam W, Duo refers to himself as "The Great Destroyer" rather than the "God of Death" due to religious themes.
* Along with Quatre Raberba Winner, in Super Robot Wars W, Duo is a passenger of Valstork, the battleship owned by the Ardygun (the family of the game's protagonists, Kazuma and Mihiro) at the very beginning of the game.
** He first introduces himself to the Ardygun family as "Heero Yuy", which was likely inspired by the time Heero went about using Duo's name for a time.
* Duo won Animage's Anime Grand Prix Award in 1995 in the category of favorite male anime character of the year. He also won the favorite character poll featured in the Gundam W manga during its publication.
* In the manga Ground Zero, which takes place between the events of the original anime and Endless Waltz, he is shown to be in a plan to destroy the Gundams with Quatre Raberba Winner and Trowa Barton. Later, it is shown that he was meant to deliver the teddy bear from Heero Yuy originally, but left it in a car and rushed off to purchase frozen oranges as a substitute.
