The Admiral

The Admiral is the formal leader of the Research Commission and member of the First Fleet to arrive on the New World in Monster Hunter: World.

He doesn't like being tied down or waiting, preferring to find out answers for himself—hence why he leaves the Commander in charge of things in Astera. He speaks his mind and takes off before anyone can react, disappearing into the wilderness for lengths of time. He likens himself to a sharq; he has to keep moving to stay alive, and he won't rest until he's explored all of the New World.
