== Personality & Brief Biography ==
Born in Australia, Duc moved with his family to Japan as a small child. Throughout school he faced discrimination, bullying, and isolation because of his ethnicity and (initially) poor Japanese.
He quickly proved adept in the martial arts and was soon a nationally ranked competitor. He met his future wife, Koyamada Kaori, at a competition while in high school. They were soon regular sparring partners despite attending different schools.
While Kaori passed the rigorous exam to enter the National Defense Academy, Duc's severe test anxiety limited his choices to vocational school (senmon gakkō). There he excelled in his program and earned a certification in computer systems technology in short order.
Because of his relationship with Kaori, he was forwarded by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force as a potential Ranger to the Jaeger Academy's first class. He was the only non-military candidate in the class.
