Maxis Erwin is admiral of King Xyrie Validikus's naval fleet. He is often depicted as a pirate, vagabond, criminal, but he has little time to care for what others say. He is a powerful swordsman, ruthless warrior, and fights against the Corrupted Armada with an enthusiasm unlike any other. He treats Corrupted prisoners with no mercy and hates Zylar because his family was killed during a seaside raid.
