==Overview==
===Appearance===
==== Season 1 ====
Axel is a muscular and tall young gentleman in appearance and has short, he has black hair along with a unibrow. He has a 2.5 block build. He wears a green jacket, black fingerless gloves, tan pants, and sandals. Later on, he also gains a helmet similar to Magnus the Rogue's, a chest piece similar to his former shirt with gloves and brown boots.
==== Season 2 ====
Axel's jacket is now replaced with a green plaid flannel, which is left unbuttoned to reveal a black t-shirt with a skull on it.
===Personality===
Axel is portrayed to be a joker who enjoys making people laugh. Throughout the game, he acts as a source of comic relief. He makes lots of sarcastic quips and short one-liners. 
However, it is shown that Axel can be very aggressive when confronting people who he considers a danger to his friends, and he can be blunt and strict when he converses with people he does not trust well, such as Ivor and Lukas. As mentioned previously, he also does not trust people that aren't his friends well, as he puts on a threatening persona towards them and makes choices that are counteractive to their plans or is hesitant to follow their plans.
Axel is revealed to be a bit of a coward, but is very fierce when defending his friends and will risk a great deal to protect them. Axel is also shown to be a kleptomaniac, as he tries to steal small items whenever he can.

==Relationships==
===Jesse===
Axel is one of Jesse's best friends and is very protective of Jesse. He always tries to help and support them and provides them with encouragement in all of their endeavors. Axel also always tells Jesse to "lighten up" as he feels they are too serious (Determinant). He is willing to risk his life to save Jesse from danger since he dashed forward in the mob grinder to pull Jesse back as they were launched ahead by the water. It would've resulted in Jesse being killed or gravely injured if Axel had not stepped in.
===Olivia===
Axel and Olivia are often portrayed to be at odds but their personalities balance each other out. The two will never shy away from helping each other in times of need.
===Reuben===
Axel loves playing pranks on Jesse and the gang, including Reuben. He cares for Reuben a lot and even made him an Ender Dragon costume to wear for EnderCon. Unlike Olivia, Axel always believed in Reuben's abilities. Axel is seen to be distraught when Reuben dies.
===Magnus the Rogue===
Axel is a huge fan of Magnus the Rogue and saw him as his hero and mentor. He wants to be just like him, which can be inferred from his attire and attitude. He is heartbroken when Magnus dies (Determinant).
===Lukas===
At first, Axel doesn't take a liking to Lukas, seeing him as a coward. Lukas meanwhile, believes Axel is "way out of line" after he insulted his Ocelot jacket and too strict. This attitude is partly because he was in The Ocelots whom were a rival towards Jesse's group. Axel gets angry to find that Lukas was frozen in fear as they were escaping the Wither Storm. Axel blames him for putting Petra in grave danger. If Jesse chooses to save the Amulet in Episode 3, Lukas will rescue Axel and Reuben, leading Axel to accept Lukas as a friend. In Episode 5, Axel will appear angry when the Blaze Rods talk rude about Lukas, proving that Axel no longer shares his distrustful attitude towards Lukas.
===Petra===
Axel and Petra are presumably close friends, as Axel is often shown being concerned for her safety and health, especially when she gets trapped. Axel will also hug Petra if you go to Boom Town and save her from the Wither Storm. He is one of the first to notice that Petra is ill after escaping the Wither Storm (Determinant).
===Ivor===
Axel disliked Ivor at first, but after defeating the Wither Storm, his opinions of Ivor changed for the better. He even liked his Lava House and thought it was cool.

*According to Eric Stirpe, Axel was originally going to have a pet bat in "Assembly Required", the bat idea was cut due to budget issues.http://stirpicus.tumblr.com/post/165425806531/wait-axel-have-a-pet-bat
*Eric Stirpe claims, that when Minecraft: Story Mode was in early production it originally had swearing; Axel would often use a few swears.http://stirpicus.tumblr.com/post/166359648596/what-were-some-of-the-cuss-word-said-in-s1
*Eric Stirpe confirmed that Olivia and Axel were absent in season 2 because the executives didn't like them as much as the rest of the cast and encouraged the writers to write them out as much as possible. They had a very large cast and only 5 episodes, so they couldn't fit everyone in.https://stirpicus.tumblr.com/post/185694177596/why-were-axel-and-olivia-almost-absent-from-season
