Biography
Woo is a mercenary soldier of Chinese origin based with Mithril's West Pacific Fleet, within their Primary Response Team. Unlike Special Response Team members, he does not have an operational specialisation, although he does link up with SRT operations and perform shared missions when required.

His rank is Private. His call-sign is Kaunan-28.

Woo is a close friend of SRT member Corporal Yang, and is often paired with him for missions. Woo often tempers Yang, such as when Yang wanted to race their cleaning van around twisty Hong Kong roads.

One such mission was during the Hong Kong incident, where together they found a former hide-out of operatives behind a rogue Codarl-m terrorising the city, and message left for Sousuke Sagara. Later, he and Yang tracked down Sagara after he abandoned the mission, and delivered him the ARX-7 Arbalest.

Woo was badly injured during the Mithril paratroop insertion into Afghanistan (Helmajistan) to prevent a Soviet nuclear missile launch, when the C-17 he was in was heavily damaged and exploded. Somehow, he was able still to parachute and survive, requiring several months to recover from his injuries.
