Duo Maxwell (Dyuo Makkusuweru, derived from Latin duo, lit. "two") is a fictional character from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. He is a central character of the anime and several of the derivative works that make up the After Colony fictional universe. Duo is the pilot of Gundam Deathscythe, one of the five Gundams sent to Earth during the events of the anime.
In the anime prequel manga, it is revealed that Duo was an orphan growing up on the streets of an L2 colony.
In the year AC 187, after a reckless attempt to steal food from an Alliance military warehouse, he and some other children were taken in and cared for by Father Maxwell and Sister Helen at the Maxwell Church. It is from Sister Helen that he adopts the practice of braiding his hair. Though the other children were eventually adopted Duo was always returned to the church, and remained in their care until AC 188.
In that year, rebels would claim the church for a refuge after a battle with the Alliance. When Father Maxwell protested their use of violence, they struck him down and accused the priest and Sister Helen of being Alliance spies. Hoping to appease them, Duo rushed off and stole a mobile suit. Upon returning, he found the church has been destroyed, the Alliance having attacked in his absence. Duo finds Sister Helen amidst the ruins, and before she dies she tells him he has God's blessing. The incident would later be known as the Maxwell Church Tragedy, which resulted in the death of 245 people, Duo being the sole survivor. Following this, Duo was imprisoned for an unspecified amount of time by the Alliance.
In AC 192, Duo is discovered stowing away on board a space shuttle and meets Professor G, who is impressed the boy managed to sneak past his security system. He subsequently becomes involved in Operation Meteor.
As shown in both the manga and flashbacks in the Endless Waltz OVA, Duo joins the Sweeper Group and becomes the pilot of Gundam Deathscythe.
