Axel Almer

Axel Almer is a fictional character from the Super Robot Wars series. In canon, he pilots the Ash Saver before switching into his default mecha, the Soulgain, in the Original Generation universe. He can pilot the same mechs, in addition to the Laz Angriff and the Vysaga in Super Robot Wars Advance.
== History ==
Axel Almer is the lieutenant of the Shadow-Mirror's Vindel Mauser and the lover of Mad Scientist Lemon Browning. When picked as the leader, he suffers a bout of amnesia upon jumping into an alternate universe, where he begins to act like an all-around goofy man with strange capabilities to pilot a mecha. When faced with his true identity as a Shadow-Mirror operative, he ends up betraying them, becoming instrumental in destroying the organization.
In Super Robot Wars Original Generation, the plot picks his villainous counterpart and is given an extra quirk: he becomes Kyosuke Nanbu's rival. This gets expanded due to a feud in the form of Beowulf, Kyosuke's evil doppelgänger in the Shadow-Mirror universe. Like his Advance story if he's not picked as the protagonist, Axel winds up dead following the defeat of the Shadow-Mirror at the end of Original Generation 2.
However, Axel shows up alive and well in Original Generation Gaiden: the "Cry Wolves" pull him and the Soulgain out of the White Star before it is assimilated by the "Einst". Although he comes close to death during the escape attempt, Einst Alfimi appears and merges with him moments before that can happen, ensuring his survival. Since the Shadow-Mirror are no more, Axel no longer bears any antagonism towards the "Steel Dragon Battle Group" or Kyosuke, and ends up aiding them several times throughout the game. Although under scrutiny, Axel proves his newfound redemption by saving a Brainwashed and Crazy Lamia Loveless from the clutches of Duminuss, earning the trust and gratitude of his new allies.
Following Original Generation Gaiden, Axel continues to wander the universe, assisted by Alfimi. He wounds up in the Endless Frontier and receives a dose of Amnesiac Dissonance while trying to rescue her from mysterious creatures called "Lamalices". With his memory gone, he reverts into his "Ahoseru" personality and undergoes several misadventures. Sometime after dabbling in this dimension, Axel returns to the Original Generation universe at the onset of the Second Original Generation, with Earth under siege by the "Guests". Since his Soulgain is under maintenance aboard the Kurogane battleship, Axel opts to use the Vysaga until repairs are complete. Meanwhile, he begins training Touma Kanou, pilot of the RaiOh and tangles with Duvan Org in an attempt to rescue Alfimi, when he consumes the latter to gain more power. At the end of the story, Axel takes residence aboard the Kurogane, continuing to train Touma.
In The Moon Dwellers, Axel suspects Sanger Zonvolt was sent to the Endless Frontier when Lamalices reappear; furthermore, he discovers his sojourn into the Endless Frontier was no accident - it was caused by Debudabide, a member of the "Dark Brain Army". With Sanger's return alongside Haken Browning and Aschen Brodel, he, the Kurogane crew and the Steel Dragon Battle Group must deal with the lunar "Fury" and extraterrestrial "Gadisword".
==Personality and Traits==
Depending on which path he choose or which game, Axel's personality varies significantly. He ranges from a cheery man who jokes with everyone, flirts with the ladies and is generally happy, while on the other scale there is an Axel who is obsessive and dark who will do anything to complete his mission.
