Following the main heroine trailer, Sega introduced another character residing in the Valkyria Revolution universe. With flowing silver hair and a penetrating gaze, General Maxim is a member of the Rus Empire and specializes in magic acquired through a Ragnite experiment. Born and raised in the Empire territory, Maxim was trained as a highly-skilled solider at an early age.  As seen in the trailer, Maxim picks a fight with the protagonist, engaging in a duel of swordplay.  Dressed in noble military attire, Maxim can be seen wielding double swords during battle.  Itching for more? Players will have to play the actual game in order to dig up more of Maxim’s intriguing backstory.  Nonetheless, he looks to be a promising, charismatic character indeed.
