Syn Maxwell

Syn Maxwell (シン マクスウェル Shin Makusuweru) is the Doctor for the Dread Pirates. In his home country, he was perceived as a quack and became known as Miracle Max, though his unconventional methods have proven to be quite beneficial to his crew.

Appearance
Syn Maxwell is a short young man who has black hair that goes down to his eyes. He constantly wears a large gas mask that covers his entire face and makes his eyes glow red. He only likes to wear black or dark grey clothing, which tends to make his skin appear to be grey under most lighting. He usually wears a black muscle shirt underneath an open grey hoody, a black pair of jeans and grey sneakers.

Personality
Maxwell is an overly suspicious person who constantly comes up with various conspiracy theories. When he was only five years old, he began to think that the Marines were spreading different poisonous substances into the air that only people associated with the World Government had vaccines for, so as to better control the public. Since then, he started wearing his gas mask. Due to this suspicious nature of his, Maxwell is especially introverted. He doesn't make friends very easily, and will actively push other people away from him, preferring solitude. For the first 17 years of his life, the only person who he trusted was his father. Roberts managed to break through though, causing him to join the pirate crew, and the rest slowly came to be his friends as well. He doesn't particularly care about helping people, and only would heal people who specifically sought him out. Because of this, he tends to use his knowledge of the human body to efficiently kill his opponents in battle. This doesn't extend to people that have managed to make their way into his circle of trust though, as he will always try to save his crew mates when necessary.

History
Maxwell was born in the Grand Line; his mother being an ordinary citizen while his father was a pirate in the infamous Happo Navy. After his wife was killed by pirates, Syn Dreyar left the life of piracy to raise his young son in a more peaceful sea, the West Blue. Dreyar wasn't a prominent member of the Happo Navy, though he had still gained sufficient knowledge of Hasshoken, their signature martial art, for him to pass it on.
