Now five years old, young Duo was accepted into Solo's gang of orphans where he lived happily until his ninth year of life. A plague broke out across L-2 and Solo's gang was hit hard. Duo was able to use his fledgling powers to steal a few vials of serum used to cure the plague. Although he arrived back in time to salvage most of the gang... he was too late to save Solo. His "older brother" died in his arms, asking him to take care to the gang. "Kid", as he was called by the gang, renamed himself "Duo" in remembrance and honor of his friend and protector. The gang was taken in by a local church where Duo befriended Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, the church's clergy. Spending a few happy years at the Maxwell orphanage, during which time almost all of his fellow orphans were adopted, thirteen-year-old Duo began to see Father Maxwell and Sister Helen as the parents he never knew. Unfortunately, just as it had before, fate played its hand. A small group of soldiers had been sent to the church to retrieve the growing mutant. The group was a subordinate of the mutant recruition army, Oz, called Romefeller. One of their psionic mutants had alerted them to the existence of a powerful mutant child dwelling on L-2. The Romefeller soldiers met with resistance, however, when they attempted to take Duo by force. Without a second though, they murdered Father Maxwell and Sister Helen and burned the church around them. Enraged and heart-broken, Duo lashed out the only was he knew how, with his powers. He was able to kill almost all of the Romefeller soldiers before he escaped. Once again, Duo took on a name to remember those he loved. Now seventeen, Duo Maxwell has been successfully evading Oz and Romefeller for four years. A new group called Gundam A/C has risen to defend both mutant and humankind alike.
