Talk:Duke

Source?
What is the source for his surname? I can only find it used in fanfiction... The S 14:41, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * The name comes from the KOF Maximum Impact 2 ending movie. Duke is standing at his sister's grave and the last name is seen on the stone. Whether or not that's his actual last name is up for debate. Kyosei 19:08, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

I can also confirm that The 'Burkoff' part of Duke's name is mostly based on the Tombstone of his sister Marian's grave seen in the KOF Maximum Impact 2 ending sequence. But the reason I'm adding to Duke's talk section is a part of his bio is misleading. In The KOF Maximum Impact continuity. After Geese's Initial death. Fate was the one who had filled in the power struggle and became the strongest gang boss. It was not until Duke and Mephistopheles came into the picture that Fate was taken out of the picture. Remember Fate was always seen as a 'Robin Hood' like figure to the Downtrotten of Southtown. Duke had him assassinated afterwards and tried to run the first KOF Maximum Impact under the phony group name 'Metatron but Hyena states that it's actually Mephistopheles' other than that? Duke's page looks pretty spot on.

So the Southtown Power Struggle goes like this.

Geese --> Fate --> Duke --> Alba

Also him and Nagase are what is referred to in the Maximum Impact universe as 'Reinforced Humans'  (AlbaMeira (talk) 00:52, January 16, 2020 (UTC))
