The one of the most lovable characters in RE series.

[TheJaketyler]

The Duke was a worthy modern update of the Merchant. I think he'll become just as iconic. I'd love to see him survive the end of Village and appear in the next game in some form.

Aaron LaPlante did a fantastic job with The Duke VO, at first I didn't trust The Duke, it felt as if he was another henchmen for the mad RE:V Lords, eventually I was sad to part from his antics... all the times he helped the main character, hints, even explain the lore... definitely one of the most memorable character in the RE universe.

[Chaotic_Observer]

funnily enough, The Duke became one of my comfort characters during the game. id always run to him when i was getting too scared or overwhelmed. I gave him the nickname, "big man" idk, he's just really chill, and he has such a nice voice

[CorrectionUnknown]

Voice acting is so damn impressive. He looks and sounds NOTHING like the Duke.

[RevJacq]

Aaron did this blind with no mocap and just a script?
Jesus, thats seriously impressive

[ae-jae]

Capcom should hire Aaron again to play Ramon Salazar in a RE4 Remake. The way he said the line for his audition with the accent at 0:39 was on point.

[MultiTHEJOKER]

he is the best characters in re8 i hope to see more of him like back story

[TinyToadSage]

This is weird but I remember not long after I finished RE8, my nightmares spiked real bad. Yet near the end before I would wake up, The Duke would be there, waiting, and the nightmare would be over. Love him to pieces! ❤

[Sick]

Someone get this poor man a fan, he has wiped his forehead so many times lol

[lottie]

The Duke easily is in my top 3 characters for this game, he's such a loveable character!

[Not_Evil_]

“Hello Rose, I used to help Ethan along his way too”

[erikthechosenone]

I always wonder, did Chris Redfield and his team know about The Duke or no?

[ptheorist]

He is hilarious! He must have had so much fun. I love the Duke and I feel that it's mostly because of the care that Aaron put to his performance.

[TeaGuy]

Honestly the duke is my favorite character in the resident evil games because he is mysterious but also very friendly plus I find him very relatable

[AH-isyg]

Aaron LaPlante did great. The Duke was a great ally. Hope we see him again in the future games.

[gronkgrunk]

The Duke was such an awesome character!

[un]

The Duke is one of the best characters in Resident Evil 8 Village. The actor did an excellent job dubbing the character.

[TopljiviSir]

This voice actors are so down to earth and funny

[HellHell]

Looove the Duke, he's a legit good guy
