Biography: Maximus grew up with his little sister and his parents during the time of Sin. He and his sister had a uncle who was the role model for both of them, who later became a guardian for a shamed summoner. Despite this he and his sister adored him, though the same couldn't be said with his father and mother who were ashamed that Auron failed as a monk of yevon after refusing to marry a woman of another priest.
But this didn't affect him, he still wanted to be just like his uncle and became a priest himself as early as he could. To help bring honor back to the family. Not too soon after he did this his little sister ran away from home, trying to meet up with their uncle somehow while on his pilgrimage. They never heard from her again. Maximus took this hard, because of how close he was to her. When able he would travel around to find any clues to her whereabouts. Only thing he could find out was that she was last seen by the calm lands with the chocobo Knights. After that nothing.
Ten years passed and lots of things changed. Maximus found out for himself the religion of Yevon was corrupt and left the fold. Just before Yuna took on her pilgrimage. He heard rumors of Auron appearing and spent his time following the trail, but was always a step behind them, and only to find out he passed on after defeating sin for the second and final time. Afterwards in the next twenty years he still looked for his sister, though he felt inside she was dead by now. So he traveled, doing the only thing he knew to do and that was to fight. He also still followed some teachings of Yevon, as it taught some good. He is often confused with the legendary guardian since now getting older he looks like Auron did when traveling with Jecht and Braska. Often having to convince people he is not an unsent. He currently works as a Body guard for hire.
Personality: He keeps quiet and to himself usually. He has made a few life long friends along the way of his story. He's also a ladies man often going out of his way to help a woman
