マクシム

A youth of few words who keeps his mouth obscured. He keeps long hair to hide his ears in order not to draw attention to himself as a Brightleaf Elf. He appears brusque and grumpy, but he really has a gentle heart and a strong sense of justice. He has some skill with magic but tends to be overconfident of his abilities and relies on the power of his magic to extricate himself from sticky situations. When he's casting spells in the presence of others, he has a habit of overly dramatic one-liners and gestures. When the minstrel Doma visited a Brightleaf community singing about the great deeds of the unnamed Hero, a youth named Maxime resolved to leave his community and forge his own legend comparable to the tale he was regaled with. Maxime is honourable, but his delusional personality more often than not drives others to frustration. He has skill with fire magic and can communicate with spirits, but his ability in the latter is not as attuned as Riola's. Unless surprised, he deliberately calls Edgar 刹那の剣士, which annoys Edgar every time as no one else in Dantor knows him by that sobriquet and he doesn't like how pretentious it is. With help from Edgar and other guild members, Maxime succeeds in exorcising Doma's possessed form and frees his soul. In doing so he earns himself his own legend (complete with exaggerated feats) as a measure of gratitude from the minstrel who hired the guild to search for Doma. His ultimate goal is to acquire enough power to make the feats sung about him into reality.
