Governor

Thin and bony, Governor sports neatly combed dark hair spiked at the sides, a slim mustache, and a cleft chin. A black suit decorated with a medal on the right, gold bracelets, and rings sits beneath a regulation Marine coat. A pet chameleon usually accompanies him, copying his movements.

Self-interest and the hunger for power are all that move him. He shows no regard for the soldiers under his command, shoving them into danger by threatening court-martial while claiming their victories as his own and falsifying reports to flatter his superiors. He even bargains with pirates for personal gain. Cowardice runs through him too: learning that an opponent carries a 100,000,000 berry bounty, he panicked and raged at Lego, then went pale with terror once the pirate cornered him. His grudges run deep, and after Randolph accused him of murder and stalled his ascent, he swore vengeance and abused his authority purely to soothe his wounded pride.

Governor enlisted with the Marines seeking nothing but power, and together with his friend Jim he began smuggling Marine weapons to line his pockets. After one successful deal, he murdered Jim in cold blood to seize all the spoils. The killing drew suspicion, and ten days later his superior Randolph summoned him, but with no evidence to be found Governor walked free, though the accusation tarnished his name and hardened his hatred of Randolph.

Three decades later he planted Marine weapons aboard the ship hosting Randolph's Theater, then had his former mentor arrested for the very crime he himself had once faced. He gloated over the framed evidence and his plan to see Randolph executed, but after capturing Luffy he failed to account for the Straw Hat's rubber powers, and the captain broke free and released Randolph. As his scheme unraveled and his soldiers abandoned him, Governor refused to surrender, only for Luffy to appear behind him and knock him away with a single punch.
