Violent, impulsive and indulgent in the extreme, Max is the source of much of the franchise's unique and unexpected humor. Max is an active member of the Freelance Police alongside his long-time partner and friend, Sam. Max enjoys extreme violence and prefers to solve problems aggressively. He has a slight distaste for the long stories, anecdotes, and sentences that Sam constantly spouts forth, often asking Sam and others not to use different words such as 'ensue' and 'acumen'. He shares Sam's enthusiasm in just about anything, especially if it involves large guns and trouble. He also has very poor hygiene, as he sometimes tastes his own belly button lint, and once had a large "suspicious growth" behind his ear. Sam has commented on his pungent bodily odors on more than one occasion.
