Biography

Koko Hekmatyar was the daughter of shipping magnate Floyd Hekmatyar and the younger sister of Kasper Hekmatyar. She and her brother were both noted to had been born on ships and would constantly be moved around between various countries.

During one such deal, she along with her bodyguards were ambushed by Hex with a CIA squad who intended to kill her. This incident was quite traumatic on the young Koko who said she did not want to die and begged Valmet to protect her. She claimed that was the reason she and the other bodyguards were being paid which necessitated a slap to her face by Valmet in order to calm her down. At that point, Echo emerged telling her to not worry as he would never allow her to be hurt. Echo at that moment had been fatally wounded but parted words of wisdom to Koko telling her never to show being scared and that she should always smile regardless of the circumstances as this put those under her command at ease. This incident would secure the enmity between Hex and Koko with both not being able to sleep at night whenever there was a full moon.

Her brother later introduced her to an African child soldier to serve as Koko's bodyguard who went by the name of Jonah. When meeting him, she noted his stone cold expression but vowed that she would melt his exterior and expose his more loving core.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, she was a slim fair skinned young woman with waist long white hair styled in a home cut along with light colored blue eyes. She and her brother were noted to look so alike that they could have passed for twins with the only factor changing this was his older age.

She always kept her cool even when her life was in danger with Jonah commenting that she kept a smile on her face. This she claimed stemmed from her fathers philosophy namely that the life of an arms dealer was a grim one. However, another reason for this came from advice when Hex hunted her and Echo died saving Koko's life. Before he died, he told Hekmatyar that a leader should never cry or show fear but instead face adversity with a smile for the soldiers under their command as this would reassure them. As such, she felt she needed to show a smile that was simply a mask whilst they kept a tight hold over their heart. This made her difficult to read as she was secretive and never disclosed her actual thoughts. Koko became somewhat divided on this stance following R's death as she struggled to reconcile Echo's words with R's who had claimed that always showing a smile made it difficult for her own men to get a read on her. She would claim about herself that she was not a genius though Dr. Miami would state she was in the field of being an arms dealer. Minami would state that this stemmed from Koko's ability to get others to trust her.

According to R, Jonah held an important role in Koko's life and acted as a form of limiter. He claimed that Jonah allowed Hekmatyar to retain her humanity and possibly not devolve into a complete monster. As such, he believed that the death of Jonah would be a catastrophic affect on Koko's life. The only other person that she considered a true friend and confidante was Minami Amada with the two seeking to change the world completely. Minami would also believe that Jonah had a part in Hekmatyar's life by making her soft in the heart.

Whilst she did not believe all arms dealers needed to experience a life of war she did hold the view that they needed to have the experience of seeing warfare and their weapons in action. She and her father both believed that certain individuals after they killed enough people transcended their humanity where they become something much more dangerous. Such people she called were dragons like the myths of old and that mankind could not live in the same world as such individuals. Thus, like in myth, she held the view that people needed to find such people and slay them. However, others viewed that she was slowly becoming a monster herself and that she dreaded the day when her own people would see her as such as well as turn away from her. Koko whilst engaging in the practice of an arm dealer had a dim view of drug dealers and would eliminate those that paid her in drugs. She did, however, show mercy to those in the other party's detail that were disgusted with drugs and this was how she recruited Ugo into her bodyguard detail.

Koko sometimes suffered from sleep walking whereby she would get up randomly at night. Hekmatyar tended to not sleep well and would wake in the night whenever there was a full moon as she was reminded of the trauma that surrounded Echo's death. She was also noted by her crew for being a mean drunk. On certain occasions when drunk, she would sometimes take out childish frustrations out on her employees. Koko would also get jealous whenever one of her employees in her bodyguard detail thought about leaving her for another employer.

Hekmatyar had a vengeful streak and was noted to seek out revenge for fallen comrades. When R was killed by Hex, Koko had HCLI track down the rogue CIA operative and directed a bomber to dropping ordnance on the site to kill her.
