Due to chemical burns on his hands, Max always wears his hands gauzed, hiding the damage from view. Everywhere he goes, he carries his pistols with him, never leaving them behind.
Despite his youthful appearance due to mutated genetics, Max's age is betrayed by the lines and wrinkles around his eyes. Years of battling during his mutation phase have left him with numerous scars scattered across his physique. With a Slavic background, his skin has a natural tan to it.
Personality
Max is a complex character who has experienced great suffering and loss throughout his life. He is fiercely independent and self-reliant, often hiding his true feelings and emotions behind a facade of strength and confidence. Despite his outwardly cheerful demeanor, he is haunted by his past and is constantly battling inner demons. He is fiercely loyal to those he cares about, and will go to great lengths to protect them. His experiences have made him guarded and cautious, and he often struggles to trust others even he appears as caring. Despite his wealth, he doesn’t live like a wealthy man. ‘’Money doesn't bring me joy, it's more like a darling dead weight’’
When he gots close to people he is often affectionate, loyal, playful, and eager to please those around him. Despite his tough exterior, he is sensitive and caring, always seeking to bring joy and comfort to those he interacts with. Max enjoys playing drums as a hobby and has a genetically enhanced resistance to alcohol due to his mutated genes. Cooking is his love language, and he frequently prepares meals for the people he cares about. He also smokes as a way to cope with his constant sense of restlessness and unease. When Max is on a mission, he adopts a different demeanor than his usual affable and carefree personality. He becomes incredibly focused and detached himself from his emotions, relying solely on his instincts and cold, calculated thinking. This switch in behavior allows him to become a highly effective and fearsome fighter, able to take down opponents with ruthless efficiency. Max's ability to set aside his emotions and operate purely on instinct makes him a formidable foe in any situation.

One fateful day, Max's father arrived home heavily injured, and unfortunately, closed his eyes forever. Max was just 12 years old when he lost everything that mattered to him.
‘’I'm ready to fight, to run from the light’’
After losing his family, Max was sent to an orphanage, only to soon after be adopted by a man named Balor. Balor had a reputation for his shady dealings and was known as the "devil's scientist." Max was initially fooled by Balor's false smiles, thinking he had found a new home. However, he quickly realized that his journey had only just begun, and he was now facing a whole new world of darkness and evil.
As Max stepped into Balor's mansion, he encountered Balor's 6 year old daughter, Beatrice. She looked almost soulless and hollow, despite her fancy dresses. Max realized that he couldn't trust Balor, and was shocked by the state of Beatrice. Even at the age of 12, he could tell that something was deeply wrong. Max knew he needed to escape, but until he could, he decided to protect Beatrice and treat her like a sibling. Beatrice, who was usually distant and unresponsive, only spoke and reacted to Max, and their bond quickly grew into a caring sibling relationship
