Maxim is the Hero of Doom Island and Conquerer of the Sinistrals in the battle 99 years ago. With the help of his 3 friends, he killed Daos and the others and sent Doom Island plumetting into the ocean. Unfortunately, Maxim and his wife, Selan, perished as the Island fell, leaving behind his other two partners, Guy and Artea, to spread the word of their victory. Maxim was the only human capable of weilding the Dual Blade, the only sword able to kill the Sinistrals, and allowed the people of the World a life without the oppression from the evil gods. He and Selan did leave behind a child, however, a child that would carry Maxim's blood to the future and provide a hope for humanity when the Sinistrals returned.
