Max is a mercenary, crowned as the best sniper in the galaxy. He is ruthless and always wanting money where he can get it.

He served in a specialized unit in the UNSC, serving alongside some of the most elite soldiers, augmented and unaugmented soldiers alike. He was dishonorably discharged because of his itchy trigger finger, often killing more than required.

In spite of being discharged, he kept his set of armor, a set that only four people in the galaxy have for their service in that unit. Shortly after, he became a mercenary, taking odd jobs.
