 * Despite sharing many similarities with Leena Klammer, Fook-Wing never kills people and is not a serial killer, instead his henchmen named Mang do it from his order while Leena does it by her own. Leena is unstable and wild, while Fook-wing overall very calm, emotionless and never get provoked. Unlike the most sociopath, Fook-wing never drive into insanity.
