Dordo
Dordo (ドルド, Dorudo) is a minor antagonist featured in Baoh: The Visitor. He is an assassin from the Dress Organization who fights Ikuro Hashizawa. He has the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel (中佐, chūsa)
Appearance
Dordo is an adult man with a lean face, large eyebrows and noticeable eyelashes. The OVA gives him a more rugged face with sharper outlines. Dordo has long dark hair he ties into a ponytail.
In the manga, Dordo first appears in a two-piece suit with a bowtie. Later, he dons a dark cloak with a wide-brimmed dark hat. In the OVA, he instead wears a plain military uniform with a bulletproof vest.
It is revealed that Dordo is a cyborg whose right side has been replaced by mechanical parts, including the right side of his head. After it is revealed, Dordo keeps the metal frame of his cyborg face revealed.
Personality
Dordo is a sly assassin specialized in underhanded tactics.
Dordo acts ruthlessly and prefers to give himself an unfait advantage in combat. Contrary to all the previous assassins who openly confronted Ikuro Hashizawa, Dordo prepared carefully his assassination attempt. He was notably warned about Sumire's prediction powers and struck when she was tired. Dordo used the old man who invited Ikuro and Sumire in his home as a proxy assassin by hypnotizing him and when this failed, he used special bats to disable Baoh's senses and try to inject poison in his veins. However, when that also failed and Dordo was forced to face Baoh head-to-head, his confidence crumbled and he revealed his cowardly self. He fled and took Sumire hostage in order to use her as bait later. Dordo shows great confidence in his sniping abilities, which are enhanced by his cybernetic parts,
Humiliated when he came back to Dress because he only captured Sumire, Dordo succumbed to rage and decided to go snipe Ikuro alone. Not only did he fail, he was executed by Walken for his disobedience.
OVA
In the OVA, Dordo has a more soldier-like and professional personality. His occupation shifts towards being a field officer for Dress, who dutifully executes Dr. Kasuminome's orders. Instead of his manga self, Dordo openly confronts a Baoh-infested dog, sniping him in the head without breaking a sweat despite the dog being right in front of him; likewise, he confronts Ikuro openly although he's still ruthless enough to take Sumire hostage.
Abilities
Cyborg Body
After surviving an explosion, Dordo's right side has been replaced with mechanical parts. Thus, he is a cyborg assassin who uses a variety of tools to kill his targets. First, his metal body makes him more resistant to damage than the average human. Thus he was able to withstand Baoh's Bee-stinger which melted the fake skin of his face but left his metal frame undamaged. While Baoh was able to sever his metal right hand, Dordo could also still remotely control it, which helped him take Sumire hostage.
During his introduction, Dordo's right hand contains a hypnosis device that helps him brainwash an old man and make him shoot Baoh at the time of his choosing. The fist also contains four small pistols which fire from each of the knuckles. Finally, there is an explosive hidden in the hand and it can serve as a makeshift grenade.
His right hand is also detachable and he is able to replace it with a sniper rifle that connects to his right eye in order to make him aim better. However, Dordo shows great confidence in his natural sniping abilities too.
A folded deltaplane is hidden in his back and can be deployed so that Dordo can flee. The OVA adds a jetpack so explain how he can propel himself.
Aroma Bats
Dordo uses special bats that release a special aroma tailored against Baohs. The aroma neutralizes the extrasensory organ of the Baoh and leaves them unable to feel from where the next attack is coming from. Dordo controls them through a special ultrasonic emitter that's also installed in his right hand.
