Overview
Matthew, more commonly called Max, Barion has been a long-standing thorn in our side. A long-time member of the Grand Navy, having served since he was 13, he has a decent amount of influence with his highest rank reached being Commander. Due to this, multiple attempts of gaining more control of the Grand Navy have been shut down by him.
He is also known for calling out the Grand Navy’s corruption and actively going against what he sees as “injust” orders, generally at the cost of his rank. Even though he has disregarded Grand Navy orders multiple times, he has never been demoted to a rank under Captain or kicked out of the Navy, likely to due to them being too embarassed to admit that they got tricked into having a 13 year old join them.
Additionally, he has financed the ship he has bought, essentially meaning if he ever left, he would take the ship with him. This a problem for the Navy, as its one of the strongest ships in its fleet, with it being incredibly slow, but nigh unsinkable and heavily armed.
Known Weaknesses
- Whilst not unskilled in landbased combat, it is not his forte.
- Incredibly close to his crew, striking at them would affect him heavily. This especially applies to his deckhands and his quartermaster.
- Additionally, his crew is the weakest part of ship, though that doesn’t mean they are weak.
- Though powerful, his ship is handicapped by its speed, meaning it is quite easy to run from it, and by extension him.
- In an attempt to make up for his slow attacks, he utilizes many items that increase his attack speed, however in doing this, he has left his agility low.
Known Strengths
- An incredible naval commander, having easily won against much quicker and maneuverable than his, more durable ships, and more heavily armed ships.
- He personally vets ever crewmate he brings aboard, meaning that every crewmate is fiercely loyal to him, and that our infiltraitors can’t make it onto his crew. Essentially, we cannot destroy his ship from the inside or outside.
- Even if they are the weakest part of his ship, his crew are still incredibly strong, with his deckhands and quartermaster matching his strength, with his crew lagging not far behind.
- His ship has endured days of constant assault with it still sailing with low damage. Though easily outsailed, it cannot really be stopped. Additionally, if he is to ever discover one of our bases, it’ll be litte more than rubble a few hours after he arrives.
- Though he uses Metal Magic and imbues onto his weapons, his attacks are oddly quicker than expected due to his high attack speed. Additionally, his attacks hit hard and are decently sizable.
