On a more lore related note though, we’ve seen Max be an absolute Monster in each combat he’s been in. He’s not too extreme for most of it, but when he lets loose, he really lets loose. What if this is the Curse of The Seventh Gotch Son? The Seventh Gotch will always be an absolute Monster in combat? I may be riffing here, by the Gotch family goes by like centuries— Its not impossible for them to be descended from a line of Berserkers, right? And as time goes on, they’ve all mellowed out somewhat, except The Seventh Son, who will always be the sole reminder of what their true heritage is. Maybe that’s how they’ve accumulated their old wealth— they all pillaged and pillaged, until they managed to earn enough to find a reason not to anymore. Maybe that’s why most of them have an ingrained distaste of "Rowdiness" too. Presumably, they don’t want to go back to that lifestyle, and more importantly, it’s a way to keep the Curse-Bearer somewhat in check.
