Were he not always scowling or sneering, Maximillian would be attractive; as it is, his disagreeable countenance is daunting and discourages others from approaching him. His heavy-lidded, amber-gold glare is doubly intimidating because he is tall and toned, with a wayward crop of dirty-blonde hair.
Maximillian is a forceful personality, a risk-taker and extremist with an all-or-nothing attitude toward every aspect of his life. Strong-willed, aggressive (some say obsessive), and obstinate, he is as brave/reckless as they come, with a pair /that/ big. Yes, he is a jerk, but he has the moxie to back his big words; he talks the talk and then runs the walk.
Naturally ambitious, Maximillian possesses many qualities of a good leader: he follows through on promises, efficiently implements plans, maintains focus and drive. However, not everyone can stomach his demanding intensity. He only trusts in his own wits and skills, with no interest in diplomatic compromise. Every situation is reduced to a black-or-white dichotomy; everyone is either with him or against him. And his side is always the right side, of course.
Although he sticks to his guns and reacts badly to criticism, he is able to learn from his mistakes. It might take a couple of jabs, but Maximillian will eventually admit that he was wrong, and move on. Vindictive, proud and over-protective, he has a volatile temper and a lively, if mean, sense of humour (except when the joke is on him).
A pessimist with no illusions about life, Maximillian climbs for the sheer sake of ascending above a world of crap, without hope of either reward or goal.
