Maxwell is a LEAD role

Maxwell is a doctor who’s seen more loss than he knows how to carry. Once devoted to saving lives, he’s now burnt out, divorced, and drowning in guilt over everything he couldn’t fix, including himself. He suffers from alcoholism to ease the pain, though it doesn’t help much when you’re already dead.. He tries to guide Briar, even when he doesn’t believe he’s worth guiding anyone.

Tone: Deep, weary, and slightly gravelly. There’s a calmness to him, but it’s heavy, like someone who’s just… tired.

Emotion Range: Worn-down, self-loathing, occasionally sardonic. He masks his pain with dry humor or resignation.

Delivery: Slow, deliberate, often with sighs or pauses that suggest exhaustion or reflection.

Pitch: Low to mid-low, mature, steady even when slurred slightly from drink or fatigue.
