Maximilien is a wealthy omnic and a member of Talon's inner council. He runs a casino in Monaco.[1]
Story
Maximilien was known to Blackwatch at least eight years prior to the disbandment of Overwatch.[2] After the death of Antonio (of whom he was an associate), Maximilien was among those who stepped up to fill the void he'd left.[1]
Masquerade
Maximilien met with Doomfist and Widowmaker at a casino in Monaco shortly after Doomfist's prison break. There he apprised Doomfist of goings-on within Talon, reaffirming his loyalty to Doomfist's cause and warning him that some within the organization would have preferred to see him remain behind bars. After defeating a group of hitmen sent by Vialli, a rival Talon council member, Doomfist asked Maximilien to clean up the mess and departed.
Maximilien later met with Doomfist, Reaper, and other members of the inner council in a hidden boardroom at a masquerade ball in Venice, Italy, where Doomfist discussed his plans to start a new war.[3]
Trivia
Maximilien with pi symbol pin.
- Maximilien is a French variant of the Latin name Maximilianus, derived from the names of two Roman generals: Maximus and Aemilianus.
- During the casino scene of Masquerade, Maximilien is shown wearing a golden pin in the shape of the greek letter "π" and the mathematical constant pi. This could be a reference to the Monte Carlo method which can be used to compute pi[4] and is named after the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.
