## History

### New Nestor Campaign

Axel was first seen as the party was doing a supply run just after the timeskip, wherein he and the Wheelers gave them supplies, though Roger didn't trust them. When asked by Roger if he's from *Mad Max*, he called Roger an idiot because of the fact that *Mad Max* wasn't real. When Sam asked him if he's ever met Steve Irwin, Axel responds that he hasn't, but would love to in the future. Rachel told Axel that he looks cool, and he thanked her. Axel introduced them to his leader, Skullcrusher, who gives them some supplies. Skullcrusher sends Axel with the party to get them on their feet, for reasons that Axel never found out. When White alerted the party that he had successfully hotwired the van, Axel suggested they trick it out. What he wanted them to trick it out with is unknown.

Axel did not do much after this point until after the encounter with the pupils of Roswell University, after which he went on a supply run. Later on, Axel returned, meeting Craig and calling him ugly-cute. Axel then suggested that Roswell may need help, before Roger broke the news to him about what happened. On Axel's suggestion, the party slept at the church that night, witnessing several Wheelers starting to steal the guns the churchgoers had at their disposal. Axel was confused by this, as this was not typical Wheeler behavior. He suggested that the party travel to the Wheeler base for answers. Axel uses his buggy to ram the last of the Spikecycles before the party arrived at the Wheeler Base. He asked for Skullcrusher's audience, explaining what was going on, with him sending his right-hand-man Spinemelter to investigate the incident. After the dinner, Axel came to the conclusion that Spinemelter was going to frame the party for his crimes.

Axel assisted in the battle with Spinemelter, being charged at by him with a machete, before Spinemelter got nearly decapitated by Roger's throat slit. After Skullcrusher tries to tell the party that he was manipulated by Spinemelter, the party did not believe him, and decided to make Axel the new Wheeler leader.

Axel did not reappear until after the party and the Merrymakers sought out a new home when the Sunken Clam was destroyed by an infected Stu and the Treant, after which he gave them shelter among the Wheelers. Axel collaborated with Pablo to make prosthetics for the party members who needed them, giving Mikhael a crossbow arm, Sam a peg leg, and Garlos a standard arm. After this, Axel asked Rachel to be his Wheeler queen, to which she happily accepted before the pair and Craig shared a family hug.

## Relationships

### Rachel Scott

Axel finds Rachel's enthusiasm very charming and liked her fangirl spirit, and developed feelings for her late into the campaign's events. He asked her to be his queen, and she happily accepted.

### Craig

Craig is like Axel's son, and he treats him the best he can.
