Maximus

## Stats

**Inquisitor Maximus** was one of the four Inquisitors of Duros and received his job as an Inquisitor due to his father's status as one.

## **Appearance**

Maximus was a stocky and large man who is typically shirtless. When at a party, Maximus wears a boar mask and the typical Durosian noble attire.

## **Personality**

Maximus was an arrogant and boisterous man, although not as smart as Cornelius. However he still hates being tricked and being taken advantage of. Maximus also appeared to be attracted to Luna, although the feeling was completely one-sided and extremely toxic.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

#### Overview

Maximus was an extremely powerful individual, as he was strong enough for his strength to be acknowledged by Emperor Dominius himself, resulting in him appointing Maximus as an Inquisitor. Although Maximus isn't the smartest Inquisitor he is 'really good at punching' and being angry. In combat he relies mostly on his raw physical strength alone, disregarding things like skill and technique as too complicated and useless.

#### Punching

Maximus' punches cannot be underestimated. However, he can only attack once a turn, although it can be very powerful. A single punch from him maxes out at about 70 damage.

#### Armament Haki

Befitting his barbarian-like aesthetic and fighting style and adding to his already powerful strikes, Maximus is also capable of using Armament Haki. This allows him to bypass all resistances of his opponents and increase the damage output of his strikes.

#### Barbarian's Skin

Maximus can rage like a Barbarian, giving him resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing weapons.

#### Legendary Resistance

Maximus has one Legendary Resistance he can use to pass a saving throw he's failed.

## **Allies**

#### Emperor Dominius

Just like the other Inquisitors, Maximus respects and worships the Emperor of Duros as a ruler and a God.

#### Inquisitor Cornelius

Cornelius and Maximus seem to enjoy teasing and competing with each other, but are mostly on good terms regardless. However, they disagree strongly when it comes to the treatment of the Sterrenkind: whereas Maximus is quite ruthless and likes torturing his Sterren slaves, Cornelius seems to shun these kinds of practices.

#### Inquisitor Aster

Maximus and Aster don't particularly get along, as their personalities and values are very different. Maximus sees Aster as slow, weird and inefficient, while Aster is bothered by Maximus' boisterous and eccentric attitude.

### **Enemies**

#### Devil's Luck Pirates

Maximus hates the Crew for tricking him and making him look like a fool as well as killing Cornelius.

#### Luna

Maximus seems to be attracted to Luna, having made advances on her in the past. However, this has made her despise him even more, as she has always seen him as brutish and uncivilized.

#### Lyssa

The two are enemies by virtue of being on the opposite sides of the Devils' Luck Pirates' coup d'état. However, they have never directly interacted with each other in the story.

### **Other**

#### Sterrenkind

Like most Durosians, Maximus viewed the Sterrens as an inferior slave race. He is fond of torturing the Sterrens in his service for fun.

## **History**

At some point before the start of the story, Maximus became an Inquisitor because his father was one. During the story he made the foolish decision to challenge the Devil's Luck Pirates and was terrified by Duros's spirit and subsequently turned into mincemeat by Luna.

## **Trivia**

* Maximus is Latin for 'greatest' or 'largest'.
