'The Duo'

'The Duo' is a alias for a pair of mercenaries and bounty hunters on Urth. They are commonly employed by the South Hills Council of Governments and other governments, along with private companies in "black ops". Though the existance of such a duo is denied by the Council of Governments, they are regularly employed for operations that can not be tied directly to the government. Expendable but reliable.

The duo has achieved a almost legendary status among the military and intelligence sectors, and are known as the bigfoot of the industry; No one really sees them, only the carnage they leave behind.

Marcus Kingsley

From a S.H Navy SEAL Background, Kingsley left the military into private contracting in 2005. Working his first few years with a Serenitech associated company, he went on his own in 2005. Despite his appearance, Marcus has a soft side, as was shown with his taking on of Maxwell during the 2010 Vekaiyun Civil War.

Little else is known of his personality, besides he has a 'get it done' attitude about operations.

Maxwell Lockerbie

Note: Maxwell Lockerbie is the name given to him with South Hills Citizenship, his previous Vekaiyun name is unknown.

Maxwell, who simply goes by Max, is a vulpine victim of the 2010 Vekaiyun Civil War, believed to have lost most of his immediate family in the fighting. At the age of 17, he was drafted into the military of Maxist forces, as a pilot, though due to lack of proper documentation during the hectic civil war times, his real name during this time is unknown by intelligence officials.

In a attempt to escape military service for the Maxist forces, which it is believed he disagreed with politically, Max went on the run, and was eventually captured and, was almost executed in the middle of the street, when Marcus, on a operation gone badly, burst through in a firefight with Maxist forces.

The pair found themselves helping eachover escape, with Maxwell knowing the layout of the city to escape. Realizing that Maxwell had no real hope in the wartorn country, Marcus offered him a 'way out', and he accepted. It is believed over the next month, they made their way to the lines of Ikrisia Levinile's forces, and eventually, out of the country.

Somewhere in the process of the duo's escape, Maxwell sustained a large calibre gunshot wound (believed to be 7.62mm) to his upper right ear, leaving a permanent scar, though only a few inches away from impacting his head and surely ending his life.

Though, as a follower of Kingsley's policy of 'money before politics', it is unknown of his position on the current Vekaiyun regime, it was believed he was against the Maxist regime previously in place.
