Max Drive

Max Drive, formerly known as (Daniel Jefferies) is a main character in Masked Rider: Swordblazers and acts as a minor antagonist/rival until he joins the team proper. A morally ambiguous wanderer whose sole motivation in life is drowning himself in the endless thrill of battle and war, regardless of the consequences.

Personality
As expected of someone called the Berserk Rider, Max is grumpy, irritable, curt and impatient, looking forward to nothing but the next fight. Due to a neglectful childhood, Max had grown up feeling too inadequate to interact with others socially. (This wasn't helped further by constant moving from place to place, other bullies, ETC.) So instead, Max felt social solace through fighting; growing to see battle itself as fun, and developing a "might makes right" outlook on life so strong it causes him to run away from home. While he comes off as a bully, Max doesn't mean any real harm through his actions, he simply doesn't know what real friendship means, instead preferring to lose himself in the fight. In battle, Max is a savage, relying solely n his rage and anger to drive him toward victory.

As the show progresses, Max begins seeing the kind side of others; and soon lightens up ever so slightly. He grows particularly close to Keith and Kim.

Personas
The Masked Riders of the International Protectorate Army utilize what they refer to as The Persona System. The system allows the Riders to enter different combat styles at will by tapping open the Break-Locks carried on their person. Different Personas have different strengths and weaknesses; with results dependent on the Rider accessing them.

Trivia
