Quadruple Pierre

Some say that Pierre "Quadruple" Wang got his nickname when a French clerk filling out his documents got very confused about Asian naming conventions. Others say that he got it slightly later, when he expressed his displeasure in very clear terms. Others still have speculated that he is a quadruple agent, but that is clearly just stupid. The original story, most people fear to repeat, but most on the street are quite sure he cut (or pulled) someone into four parts at some point.

That being said, of all of Mr. Ming's subordinates Quadruple Pierre seems to have taken to the Western organised crime life the best. He dresses in very nice suits, speaks fluent French and behaves courteously, though firmly, even having something of a romantic streak. However, he also has a short temper, which he expresses mainly through tightly controlled cathartic violence (preferably maimings); and an absolute belief that no one should ever, ever make a fool of him (let's say with a phoney war secrets auction) and live. The sole exception to this might be his fellow employees of Mr. Ming. Quadruple Pierre is, as far as anyone can tell, a deeply loyal man.

Though at one point he was Mr. Ming's man in charge of Paris, his vendetta with the mysterious Auction Man led to his demotion after he went on a kidnapping-and-torturing rampage and attracted the attention of the French police. Consequently he had to skip town and be replaced by Mr. Gou, but later he was brought back on as heavy muscle. He was sent with Zack Zimmerman to bail out Gregor Kovacs and far more importantly retrieve the scroll from von Kalw's scripter that was at the Black Moon cult's headquarters. Which he succeeded in, later events notwithstanding.

Is directly responsible for poor Stumpy's nickname (he'd say that Stumpy is responsible, though, what with trying to pick his pockets and all; people should watch their hands if they don't want to lose them).
