People always describe Max as looking either somewhat confused or totally indifferent. His blue eyes seems far off, and the dark eyebrows are almost always slightly arched. He has no problem smiling, but it’s not often from genuine happiness, but more of a questioning one, always uncertain if he did something right.

He is not tall, nor is he short, and you wouldn’t really see him stand out in a crowd (except, maybe, for his pale complexion). He has a lean body, and never really cares about how he looks which is implied by the messy way he carries his uniform and how his dark curly hair never seems to be brushed.


Max usually has no idea what is going on. He is often so focused on whatever task he has at hand, that he loses sight of what’s around him - something that he got from his father. He is the kind of guy that can only focus on one thing. But when he does, he gives everything he has, whether it be a Arithmancy homework or a game of chess, and the results are usually astounding.

Because of this he can often seem shy and confused, but he has at the same time no idea that this is how people see him. He is a nice and polite young man, but there are few people that actually get to know him on a deeper level. He would never shy away from interacting with other people; he doesn’t find it hard or intimidating, it’s just that he never thinks about doing it himself.

Maximus grew up in the outskirts of Chagford, in southern England with his mother Gwenora, his father Finn and his older brother Jameson. Max never saw much of his father - an eccentric man that spent most of his time abroad, trying to hunt down creatures people had only read about - and spent most of his time with his mother. He was always fascinated by how she spent the nights up on the hill next to her house, observing the stars and the moon, drawing on her charts and tinkering with her lunascope.

When Jamie played with the muggle kids down in the village, Max spent his days sunken in books, or trailing gnomes, or studying his mother’s wand movements. Anything he could to learn how the world worked. But it wasn’t until he found a book about old Welsh magic that his fascination begun. Anything he could get his hands on concerning magic from the Dark Ages and earlier triggered his interest.

He had been longing for the day he’d been going to Hogwarts ever since Jamie got sorted five years prior, and was as excited as he had ever been when it finally came. But he was disappointed. He had hoped for a school where he could dig deeper into what interested him, to spend countless nights in the library studying the works of Egyptian witches or Japanese Dragon-hunters. Instead, he was handed a schedule of too many classes to focus on and a strict lists of homeworks concerning subjects he had no interest in. It was hard, and it took almost two years for him to finally come to terms with the way Hogwarts taught (this made people question whether the Sorting Hat had been right in putting him in Ravenclaw).

Then came third year and he could finally choose electives. Without hesitation he marked Arithmancy and the Study of Ancient Runes down as his choices, and was excited once again. The physical subjects had never been his kind of thing - Potions and Herbology were his worst subjects, and Defence Against the Dark Arts had too many exploding spells and bangs involved.

Max never had many friends during his school years. Not that he actually noticed - the first two years was spent worrying too much about how to keep up with the schoolwork, and the years after he was focusing entirely on the subjects he loved.

Learning about new things has always been something that Max strives for - whether it may be workings of a portkey, or the history of Hebridean wizards. Even though it didn’t seem like Ravenclaw was the house for him during his first two years (with his falling behind and not being able to keep up with the homework), Max showed his Ravenclaw during his third year. When he is studying the things that interests him (like Ancient Runes or Arithmancy) a sparkle can be seen in his eyes, and the surroundings doesn’t seem to exist. The bookcases along the walls of the Ravenclaw Tower alone makes Maximus love his house.


A confused young man, Max is a sixth year Ravenclaw with an unhealthy obsession over ancient magic. Though nice and polite, he never thinks of striking up a casual conversation, but keeps his nose deep in books instead.
