Background:
Duo grew up on the L-2 colony as said in Gundam Wing Episode Zero, where he was a leader of some renegade orphans after his best friend Solo (do you see a connection? Solo, Duo?) died from a viral infection. After the group was found, they were sent to the church where they all were adopted, except for Duo. During this, we see where Duo got his hairdo from... I'll just say it involves scissors, a nun (Sister Helen), and Duo. But anyway it's put into a braid. After awhile, a war breaks out and the wounded are at the church. Well, to skip a little, Duo gets/steals a mobile suit (Duo learns how to drive at age 10!). Well skipping along once more Duo gets back to see everyone... dead... but somehow that evil nun was still alive and told Duo boy not to cry moments later she died. Duo got all upset and started to cry... Well we get into A.C. 195 and of course the scientist guy that had the gundam gave it to Duo (well he told Duo to steal it) and he went off to earth. When Duo makes it to earth he go to the pacific ocean to find that dude Howard...then we get to the famous meeting of Duo and Herro...as most of us know Duo shoots Heero two times! Not once! But TWICE! We all know what happens from there... If you want to know more about Duo's past, I suggest reading the Zero Manga I have here at the site.
