Editing Kaiser (section)

==Personality==
Max Anders does not believe in [[Empire Eighty-Eight]]'s ideology. Instead, as head of the organization he inherited from his [[Allfather|father]], Kaiser uses his ideological "chops" as a powerful tool to manipulate others.<ref>Actually, Kaiser doesn't buy into that ideology at all. He pretends to, and uses it to manipulate others.<br/><br/>One of those facts that I can't quite recall if I shared it in the story or not. So many words to dig through when fact checking. - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?682837-Worm-Bet-the-Alternate-Thread-The-Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogy-Still-Sucks-Though&p=16723029#post16723029 Comment by Wildbow on RPG.net]</ref> He denied [[Skidmark]] a seat at the table at [[Somer's Rock]] but was willing to give a space to [[Brian Laborn|Grue]].<ref name="5.1 e1">[[Skidmark|He]] stepped up to the table and reached for a chair.  Before he could move it, though, Kaiser kicked the chair out of reach, sending it toppling onto its side, sliding across the floor.<br/><br/>“The fuck?” Skidmark snarled.<br/><br/>“You can sit in a booth,” Kaiser spoke.  Even though his voice was completely calm, like he was talking to a stranger about the weather, it felt threatening.<br/><br/>“This is because I’m black, hunh?  That’s what you’re all about, yeah?”<br/><br/>Still calm, Kaiser replied, “You can sit in a booth because you and your team are pathetic, deranged losers that aren’t worth talking to.  The people at this table?  I don’t like them, but I’ll listen to them.  That isn’t the case with you.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/hive-5-1/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.1]]</ref>

He is very self-possessed,<ref name="5.2 e1"/> with every movement and action makes being calculated and controlled, rarely letting anything slip past his defenses. He's not as brave as he thinks himself, however, especially when in a situation that he does not dominate.<ref name="5.5"/>

[[Kayden Anders]], his ex-wife, believed that he would keep his word on a promise to her despite his manipulative personality and her personal dislike of him.<ref name="I3.5">[[Interlude 3.5 (Bonus)]]</ref>

He prefers cats over dogs.<ref name="5.2"/><ref name="I26a">His father had always preferred cats, and the creatures had never been easy to bond with.  This was nice. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/interlude-26a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26a]]</ref><!-- What more can there be to say

Crusader considered him a visionary.

could pass himself off as a believer 
<ref name="I18">Justin smiled a little, more with one side of his mouth than the other.  “-And I believe that they are fucking things up, out there.  And the rest of the world’s letting them.”<br/><br/>“People with different colored skin.”<br/><br/>“People with ''differences'',” Justin said.  “Faggots, gimps, mongoloids.  Kaiser ''got'' that.  I talked to him one on one, and he had the right ideas.  He ''got'' that America is ''ours'', that they’re polluting it over time, letting these people in.  But he was too focused on the big picture, and he was working with the Gesellschaft, which was way too big picture for my tastes.  Still, birds of a feather.  I worked under him because I wasn’t about to find others elsewhere, and I didn’t feel like going it alone.  Then he introduced me to Purity.”<br/><br/>Theo glanced at his onetime stepmother.<br/><br/>“And I think we’re more in sync, Kayden and I,” Justin said.  “If Kaiser was the visionary, the guy on top, the guy with the dream, working to achieve something over decades, then Purity’s the detective working the streets.  And that’s the kind of simple thinking I can get behind.”<br/><br/>“So you don’t support the Gesellschaft?”  Theo asked.<br/><br/>“I can’t support what I don’t understand,” Justin said.  “And what I do understand is that we need to give you your trigger event before it’s too late.  Because Jack and his gang of psychopaths are the sort of freaks I can’t stand, and I’ll be fucked if we let him beat you on this count.  They don’t get to beat us, and you’re one of us.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/interlude-18-donation-bonus-2/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.y]]</ref>-->
