Despite enduring a few hard years in an institution because his parents didn’t understand and couldn’t handle his abilities, Max grew into being a well adjusted young man. After being given a clean bill of mental health by the witch that discovered him, Max flourished under the care of her and her husband and the three are a tight-knit family (which is more than he can say for his biological parents). Due to his affinity with electronic and mechanical devices, Maxwell is almost always happiest tinkering with some machine and loves repairing them.
