Uncle Axel is a supportive person who is willing to give help and advice to others, especially David. In Chapter 4, David confides in him about his telepathic abilities, which Uncle Axel keeps it a secret. This shows that Uncle Axel is an understanding, approachable, selfless individual. Uncle Axel also provides David with information about the world outside Waknuk.
