Born on Zloga, a cemetary world, Max grew up exploring the ruins with gangs of other kids. With his parents being fairy well off, he was able to go to advanced college classes. As an undergrad, he took to exploring some of the more dangerous areas by himself. He found some old video recordings from the time of the Virus attack, and was bringing them back when he was ambushed by an old rival, Sam Malheureux and his gang. He stood them off with his fists, and made it back to civilization. There he turned the recordings over to Lois Orage, a local journalist, who published them to great acclaim.

He headed off world to Aubaine for grad school after graduating, to get a masters in robotics. He thought that learning how to operate and make robots would help him in his planned career of a professional scavenger. While there he was employed as a lab assistant to his robotics professor, Don Roseau, where, oddly, he was tasked with taking care of lab primates.

Max became interested in Cybernetics too, and changed his plans to get his doctorate in robotics. With that he was brought furhter into Dr. Roseau's work on cybernetics. There he met the lovely Dr. Iris Inistre, a xeno-biologist working on cybernet applications as applied to non-humans.

After graduating he got a research grant and went back to Zloga. Exploring there, he found a remnant of the Virus inhabiting a robot. After a long battle, it was defeated, and his analysis of it and the robot body catapulted his career foward. At this point, Dr. Roseau got parties from the Dawn League Technical Academy interested in him, and so Max enter the most challenging four years of his life. 

Those four years he vastly expanded his practical knowledge, and was involved in creating an AI. There he became fast friends with a computer expert, Tom Moteur. His experience wiht the AI and cybernetics put him on hte short list for the expedition.
