Livio the Double Fang

Livio the Double Fang (リヴィオ・ザ・ダブルファング) is a childhood friend of Nicholas D. Wolfwood, a disciple of Chapel and a member of the Gung-Ho-Guns from the Eye of Michael. Livio has what is assumed is Dissociative Identity Disorder and has an alter known as Razlo the Tri-Punisher of Death, who is treated as a separate member of the Gung-Ho Guns.

Initial Appearance
Livio initially appears as a man with tan skin and shaggy white hair, a skull-mask covering the left side of his face, and all-black leather clothing. When he switches with Razlo the mask comes off, revealing the left half of his head: it is shaved bald, with a sunburst-like tattoo surrounding his left eye; his artificial third arm is revealed as well.

Redeemed Appearance
After joining Vash, Livio lets his hair grow in to cover up the bald half of his head. After his first encounter with Elendira the Crimsonnail in Octovern, he receives a black poncho and wide-brimmed hat in a chance meeting with a grown-up Jasmine, who does not recognize him. In the last chapter of Trigun Maximum, Livio has long hair a bit similar to his initial haircut except it was less thick.

Personality
In his debut, not much of Livio's personality was shown due to him setting his emotions aside to be as functional as possible to the Eye of Michael.

After Wolfwood's death, when the organization was no more, Livio is shown to be rather kind. He says after his first fight against Elendira the Crimsonnail that he never thought of children as cute and worth protecting before. Livio lets out more emotion as the series progresses, letting himself openly cry again.

Abilities
As a member of Eye of Michael, Livio has increased muscle strength, enhanced senses and stronger bones, allowing him to perform feats of great strength and agility, such as casually lifting a weight of over 150 kilograms, as well as catching a rocket out of the air and throwing it back. Most importantly, the organization modified Livio's body to allow him to heal at an accelerated rate. Livio's healing factor is more potent than Wolfwood or Chapel, allowing the Double Fang to recover from most wounds quickly without ingesting a formula. If needed, Livio is able to use a dose of the formula to recover from attacks that would normally be impossible for him to recover from. The order's extreme training also enables him to analyze his enemies' abilities, movements, and habits. As a result, every failed attempt to kill him increases the likelihood of Livio being able to defeat his opposition. For example, while he was initially overwhelmed by Elendira, during their second clash Livio was able to react to her attacks more efficiently and eventually able to injure her.

Double Fangs
Livio wields the twin Double Fangs, two cross-shaped sub-machine guns with dual barrels that make them capable of firing forward and backward at once; these guns are typically strapped to his wrists and, later, carried in low-slung shoulder holsters when not in use.

Biography
Livio lived at the same orphanage with Wolfwood when they were both children, and was celebrated as a hero after he caught Jasmine, one of the younger children, when she fell from the orphanage roof. This lasts until he was revealed to have killed a puppy that belonged to Jasmine; thereafter, the children regarded him with dislike and fear. Unbeknownst to the community, the puppy's death were the actions of a switch with Razlo out of jealousy. Livio fled the orphanage and wandered on his own until he came upon a small town on the edge of the desert, where he endured frequent violence at the hands of a trio of male thugs. This eventually gave rise to Livio's awareness of Razlo,who switches in the midst of a beating and killed his assailants. Livio/Razlo then made their way to the Eye of Michael, a society of plant-worshippers that supplies heavily trained assassins for Millions Knives. There, they were taken into the care of Chapel and trained to become full members of the Eye of Michael and eventually two of the Gung-ho Guns.

Livio and Razlo battle against Vash and Wolfwood, though Wolfwood dies after sustaining injuries while overdosing himself on a rejuvenation serum. In the aftermath of the fight, Livio is forgiven by Vash for "killing Wolfwood"—something Livio was not responsible for since the priest overdosed on the Eye of Michael's regenerative drug—and becomes Vash's partner in an act of redemption, seeking to live as Wolfwood would have. Vash gives Livio Wolfwood's old pistol and last vial of regenerative drug. Later, Livio gives Vash the two coins, one from himself and one from Razlo.

This new alliance brings Livio into conflict with Elendira the Crimsonnail during humanity's last stand in the city of Octovern. In the middle of their second fight,Razlo and Livio switches a couple of times to defeat the Crimsonnail. When Chronica attempts to kill Vash and Knives during their escape, Livio uses Wolfwood's handgun to disable her. Livio later lives together with the children in his old orphanage and is shown paying his respects to Wolfwood's gravestone, him and Razlo seemingly adopting a calmer lifestyle.
