Duo Lon

Duo Lon (Chinese: 堕瓏; Pinyin: Duòlóng; Japanese: デュオロン Dyuoron) is a video game character who made his first appearance in The King of Fighters 2003 as a member of the year's Hero Team. He is the first male character from The Flying Brigands to resemble a "handsome" man and the first to sport an ornate design. His overall look was based on anime title character, Vampire Hunter D. He is voiced by Tsunehito Maruo.

Story
He is a member of the assassin group, the Flying Brigands, -or Hizoku (飛賊, Hizoku) Clan in Japanese- and the half-brother to Xiao Lon. He is an acquaintance of Ash Crimson and Shen Woo. Hoping to hunt down the clan's traitor, Ron, he agrees to enter the tournament with them. However, after discovering Ash's true objectives, he teams up with Elisabeth Blanctorche and Benimaru Nikaido.

Information on Duo Lon's design graphy revealed he is one of the nine children of Ron, an assassin who chased after his own father. The design information also pointed out that he is said to be the strongest warrior of the Hizoku clan, a silent guy with rather forgiving nature. Falcoon's one-paged official comic, titled "Assassin Night", features Duo Lon on a mission to assassinate one of the guests at a formal social party. The other "Four Devas" of the Brigands (Luan, Chat and Sai) are also in this story.

Personality
In spite of being a Hizoku assassin, Duo Lon is calm and has a good heart. He also has a strict sense of justice, as shown when he turned on Ash after knowing his plans.
