He is one of the three protagonists of the Fallout series, the other two being Lucy and The Ghoul.
Maximus is a complex character in the series who has a cynical sense of self-preservation and does not always act honorably.

Maximus was once a citizen of the New California Republic, living in the town of Shady Sands in the Fallout universe.
After the destruction of Shady Sands, Maximus was found and admitted to the Brotherhood of Steel by a Brotherhood member in power armor.
In the Brotherhood of Steel, Maximus meets Aspirant Dane, who becomes his only closest friend there.
Moreover, before the wasteland mission, suspicions surfaced that Maximus tries to hurt Dane by putting razor blades in his boots.
The suspicion arises because the razorblades severely wound Dane, which stops him from venturing into the wasteland.
