Wen

From Cowboy Bebop: Space Cowboy

Wen was the small boy from Session 6: Sympathy for the Devil. He is, in fact, very old despite his looks. His body and physical age was frozen as a result of the radiation released from the Gate Incident of 2021. His true age is estimated to be close to 60 years old. Being a propetual child, scientists coveted him for experiments and research. He went from lab to lab, eventually killing the scientists which imprisoned him. To acheive freedom, he often used older looking people to take the guise of his guardian. This was the case with Zebra. Spike eventually killed him by shooting him with a bullet made from the crystalized gate incident radiation. The delicate balance which kept him young was disrupted and time's effect came back to him all at once, killing him almost instantly. In his final words, he asked Spike if he knew what it was to feel heavy, dying, but also feel at ease. Spike responded sarcasticly, since Spike had, in a sense, died already and knew that he was not in any ease.
