Pinion is a young man who handles maintenance and repairs on Gargantia.
Personality
He gets carried away easily, but everyone trusts his knowledge and skills when it comes to machinery. He dreams of making it rich one day by dragging treasure up out of the sea.
Plot
He initially saw Chamber as his path to wealth and was all for taking it apart and getting rid of its pilot. However, due to the sheer complexity of the Machine Caliber, he has so far been frustrated with the fact that he has been unable to scratch it, despite his best efforts. His most recent experience inside Chamber's cockpit gave him quite a shock, (literally) as the AI retaliated with an electrical warning to Pinon's rear end.
Eventually, he comes to terms with the fact that Ledo and Chamber are here to stay and even throws a party to cheer up Ledo when he is unable to find an occupation to suit him on the Gargantia.
Surprisingly, it is revealed that although he can swim, Pinion is unable to dive.
After the incident with the Whale-Squid, Pinion takes a more keen interest in Ledo and Chamber as they have proven to be able to battle Whale-Squids without fear. He intends to enlist their aid in order to retrieve valuable salvage where the Whale-Squid's nests are located. Though this sounds purely out of pride and greed, there is an underlying purpose of getting revenge for his older brother, who had apparently seen the underwater treasure, and died due to the Whale-Squids. Pinion later finds treasure and lost tech a lot of which was thought to be destroyed by Gargantia's shooting accept the remaining beam weapons turns out the treasures or tech later survived it and was salvaged. But pinion does not get rich, instead distribute among the fleet who help him this was sort of a punishment for being greedy and foolish pinion accepts this punishment with grace.
